I wonder what would've happened if Maho realized what had happened when he grabbed Hinata. Nothing would stop her from calling him Onii-chan once she realized its power. |

The lolicon is finally awakening...XD
As far as age - Subaru is 15 (His birthday is Oct. 11), while the girls are all 6th grade, which means they're 11 (except Airi, who's 12 since her birthday is Apr. 5, Hinata being youngest with her birthday at Mar. 3). Although, yes, if a police see Subaru carrying Hinata around or having Tomoka hugging him from back, pretty sure he'll get arrested As far as Subaru's friend...you'll know soon enough... |

Charles Barkley is an example of one. At 6'6" (198 cm), 252 lbs. (114 kg), he can even outplay larger power forwards during his days in the NBA, such as Julius Erving. Since Maho is the most energetic of the batch, she fits either the shooting guard or power forward position. If she fits the latter, she could be a potential undersized PF. I will update the actual line-up used in the match after watching ep 03, as I haven't done so yet. But I would appreciate it if somebody updates the line-up before I do. A possible line-up would be as follows: Spoiler for Line-up:

@judasmartel: still undersized or not they don't have the muscle for the position, then again it's an anime, and they they are girls in elementary school, so real world professional basketball tactics do not really apply
And by the way, wasn't Barkley playing as a small forward? It's been ages, so I don't really remember. |

Indeed. So do we expect a three-guard or even four-guard line-up then? @Charles Barkley topic: He does play the SF, but he is listed as a PF nonetheless. @back to ep 3 topic: Hinata won't let go of Subaru, Subaru gets caught nappin'. Oops. Well, misunderstanding cleared. Whew. @LINEUP FOR THE MATCH: Spoiler for :
This reminds me of Magic Johnson playing Center in the 1980 NBA Finals. Last edited by judasmartel; 2011-07-15 at 20:38. |

Series licensed already? T-T I need my subs until they actually release something, which could take who knows how long...
I'm not the first to say it, but this series is much better than it looked before. I was just watching it for the adorable character designs, but a good story too? Definitely a keeper. And about possible SubaruxTomoka, methinks it may just be simple one-sided juvenile romance. Tomoka may just be confusing admiration for love, something I've seen irl and in stories involving kids quite a lot. She could have an actual crush on him, but not something that he'll seriously return. Last edited by Kudryavka; 2011-07-15 at 20:36. |

One correction to the lineup:
Spoiler for position deception:
Aside from the one pair of positions whose names were switched for psychological reasons, the rest of the positions are set based on relative size, physique, etc. Aside from Tomoka, the girls are all novices who haven't had the time to develop the strengths and skills necessary to properly fill their positions, so Subaru had to judge where to put the girls so they could make the most with what they have while not being hurt too much by their weaknesses. Of course, one of them is currently just about worthless in any position, so her job is basically to stay out of the way and possibly later to somehow distract certain parties. As for romance, as I said the foundation's been laid for a pure love that can develop. Subaru came in thinking "this girl's passionate about the game, she's got great form and speed, she's absolutely awesome." This gives him a good position for a slow relationship that will work its way from teacher-student to romance after the gap's a little less gaping. Much better than the position some others (like maybe the rumored captain) would get coming in thinking "loli butt looks good in spats". I don't think you'll see any kisses or serious dates, or anything beyond a couple blushes, while Tomoka's in grade school. But it wouldn't surprise me if someday she would prove someone who Aoi would find seriously threatening. |

There is literally a one year age difference between the girls of Ro-Kyu-Bu! and the primary cast of Yuruyuri. Art styles aside, how come the latter cast is treated like a normal cast, while RKB is being looked upon strangely for having young characters make up its primary characters? This same problem cropped up in Mitsudomoe where people seem wary of having a cast of prepubescent characters at all, even if any sexual things that happen at all are played for laughs or the result of mistakes.
Is there some societal cutoff age where it's suddenly okay for characters to star in things? |

I'm aware that they are elementary schoolers, but I'm asking why the one year difference between a middle school cast and a high school cast suddenly changes everyone's perception. For the most part, characters are characters, and shouldn't be defined solely by their age.

Also, the YY cast is in their next stage of life/school, even if only barely. Middle school is when things begin to change, so perhaps their somewhat closeness to adulthood makes them more "palatable". RKB also had a huge loli feeling to it already because of the plot, and Tinkle... |
