Now if only we got to see Subaru's Mommy a bit more: she's easily one of the cutest roles that Noto Mamiko has played since Nogizaka Haruka: She has really taken a turn for the dark, angry and depressing roles of late (Fujino of Kara No Kyoukai, Aisa of To Aru Majutsu No Index and Satellizer of Freezing comes to mind)
So cute... must take Subaru's mommy home with me... (Gets choloroform rag)

Not a bad way to wrap up the series. Thought the Aoi scenes in 11 were pretty nice. Actually some nice development between them. Sure nothing concrete, but a fun sauna scene. Plus thought Aoi talking about only needing her basketball to reach Subaru was good. If he's not playing then she wants to be involved in this to stay close to him. She's done well after all in helping Airi out. Thought Tomoka had it won, but Aoi's come on strong in the second half of the series.
Good move with Saki taking on that role. Need someone rational since Tomoka might be a bit too nice and just pass always when Maho asks for it. Besides letting their best player focus all on the attack was their best shot. Too bad they lost, but really coming that far was pretty good. Both sides cost themselves points by losing their heads anyways.

Well, you could always claim that you are or are studying to be a teacher. Or simply that you like working with children and that elementary schoolers are your favorite kids to work with.
As long as people don't think too much of it, it shouldn't really matter.

but if your a teacher and your not the type to be a suspicious person then their is no problem at all.
for example a respected man wearing that would just give an impression that he loves children but if you make a weird or someone with a suspicious behavior wear that like an otaku -_- then that's plenty to be a problem.

Doubly so if you start lying about your occupation and pretend you're a teacher. Triply so if you've got an unmarked van and claim to have candy for said schoolgirls in it. Quote:

To my knowledge, shirts like these still fall under freedom of speech. Unless a judge or the law itself says that you can't wear such a shirt in public, there should be no one stopping you from wearing it. You may get people looking funny at you, or even cops stopping you for what your shirt says, but unless they have reasonable suspicion of you being an actual child molester, they cannot do anything about it. If other people have a problem with your choice of clothing, that's their problem.

Putting the shirt topic aside, I thought the show was extremely pleasant to watch, it had some great humour, a lot of ridiculous moments that just made you want to laugh. Sadly to say, the most boring character for me was Aoi, I don't know if she had been done differently perhaps I would have liked her more. She seemed far to generic as a character that she fell flat for me. Although there were some moments that she came on very strong and that was when her character become likable.
On the other hand the basketball team had very nice dynamics with each other and the other characters, especially Subaru which made them very fun to watch. Tomoka and that jump shot... easy to see why Subaru is so hooked on it.

There are few things as sublime as watching an elegantly executed, game winning 3-Point Shot. A joy that for Football Fans is akin to watching a game-saving touchdown.
That sublimity is a blessed privillige few basketballers have the honor of witnessing in their youths, and Subaru is one of the fortunate few who have thanks to Tomoka. Ah, those were the days.

Maybe it's in one owns perspective but if I wear that and go to school no one will find it troublesome. And maybe it can be also use as a cheering type of dress. You know when Subaru said that. He meant it in a nice way because the girls are following his instruction. And respected people aren't priest. I respect philosophers and scientist or teachers/professor more than priest and I hate politicians -_-

I typically don't watch loli shows, but Ro-Kyu-Bu was mostly well done.
Pros: * The team loses one game. I was gonna complain if they had won every single one despite having relatively less experience. * "Oh~~" * Tomoka was one of the cutest girls this season. The others were somewhat generic archetypes though. Cons: * Aoi gets the shaft (or doesn't). Does Subaru even have any idea that she likes him? * Takenaka, the only other major male character, gets too little focus for his role. Heck, he's mostly absent after the game against the boys' team and the sleepover training camp. * Noticeable art fails at times. Final score: 8/10. A pretty solid show for what it is. There were certain people complaining about this show being something anime does not need, but they're just prejudiced against the genre/concept and judging based on other shows, something they don't do for any other shows. Addendum: Yeah, that "Primary school girls are great" T-shirt is calling out to me, though I would never wear it.
