Hopefully, you readers would have already seen the original series, and so, despite how the set up of the show is self limiting in terms of plot - those who enjoyed season 1 should enjoy SS greatly aswell! :)
During this season, i was quite pleased to see an increased focus on the technical, sporty-side of things, be on the lookout for the unexpected because there are a lot more epic game scenes, and hoops to keep you amused too!
Fortunately, i found the show becoming more action-oriented, raising a more competitive atmosphere, as the girls team does battle with a variety of opponents. These edge of the seat matches always boiling down to their final moments, i feel worked really well in inducing that sense of "what's gonna happen". - in the short term of course, as the actual structure…

I said in my review of season one that I was hoping for some, even a single dunk out of SS, and I'm sorry of this counts as a spoiler but in this I was very disappointed. No dunks at all, not even from Subaru in his showdown with his aggressively blonde rival.
I was, however, greeted with a variety of no-look passes, floaters, jab steps, and all sorts of other advanced techniques. The team really stepped up their game in this one, and so too did the show creators, riding on the success of season 1 to create a show with just as much heart and much tighter animation and writing to boot.
If you liked season one, SS delivers. It's a different beast, for sure, focusing more on plot and introducing a hoard of new characters on top of our established cast. I liked most of the new characters a l…

If the first season impressed me, it's more than predicted that this sequel would blow my expectations. Filled with moe and adrenaline, Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS is THE sports anime! Unique on most aspects and being an actual fun anime to watch, since it doesn't focus entirely on basketball, this anime is one of those you can't just judge by opinions... You must see it, feel it, live it...
{STORY - 10/10}

Saying this show is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures would be an understatement. The guilty pleasure stems from the show’s primary appeal being looked down upon by almost everyone who cannot stand the way anime has pandered to the moe and loli fanbase. Unfortunately, these people didn’t bother to go through the entire show than just the first episode, which is just a tiny fraction of what the whole show is built upon.
Ro-Kyu-Bu SS, the sequel to the infamous Ro-Kyu-Bu anime, is a by-the-book moe show that shows cute girls in rather suggestive positions and scenes related to sexual situations. With this in mind, you’d think it’d be more focused on that aspect than the basketball, which it is also focusing on; to my surprise, the show does a great job of balancing out the fan service and t…

According to legend, once in every generation, warriors from around the globe will gather on the field of battle in order to compete in the sacred martial art... of loliball.
Okay so maybe it's not quite that serious, but even mini-basketball can stand out quite a bit under the right circumstances. In the case of Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS it's not as much about winning as it is about playing for fun. Fortunately, it's not only the characters who are having fun, but also the viewers, because this series is in reality pretty damn entertaining.
The story picks up where the first season (and OVA) left off, so if you haven't seen those you should go back and do so right now. Now given the premises, naturally the story itself is nothing special. We have a team of 11-12 year old girls playing basketball to…
