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} There's been one year since the girls' basket ball club was founded. Through all that time, their friendship got amazingly strenghtened and their overall skills became something to be praised. Team work is shown as never beforeand a perfect team, formed by 5 young girls, is growing full of expectations.

Time is passing up fast and, in order to go official, our team needs 5 other girls. At first, rivalry, but then, an alliance borns, along with trust and consideration. Basketball created an unbreakable bound between the first members, that now expands itself to reach other. An ultimate team is about to rise...

It was expected that overall graphics would become smoother, but animation got way more active than on first season. Quick moves and powerful techniques give us a gorgeous show, as matches get more intense and impressive! Also, we get the chance to see the girls chatting more oftenly, with newly made and beautiful background themes. Obviously that the same style that make all of them constantly look so adorable didn't suffer any change...

{SOUND - 10/10}

Is almost like a "feedback" sensation, as if you're right there, sitting on the stalls and watching the match live! Efforts weren't measured at all and every possible effect was added to make this anime feel as closest as possible from reality. Background musics are always making presence and improving our experience, mainly during matches and the new OP and ED songs maintained the same genre from their respective predecessors, even better this time!
