Softenni, from the first episode I saw, it a very cute and amusing take on playing Tennis. What do you think/have you check it out yet?

Nobody replying?

So it's an ecchi take on tennis, complete with a locker room changing scene within the first 5 minutes of the show.

Not the Best Show of the Season by far, but I'll keep watching it, as it seems pretty funny so far.

Not interested in the tennis, like I wasn't interested in mahjong when I watched Saki. I'm here for cute girls and ecchi. But I love athletic girls, and I'm not that shallow ^_^

So… A bit more fanservice, and a ditzy Engrish speaking blonde-haired girl from the UK. This is starting to feel like a slice of life series.

Meh, show’s not turning out that well. The jokes aren’t that funny to me, IMO.

Damn I absolutely hated the censorship part on Episode 3....but was it on purpose?

NGE reference. I laughed.

Episode 3 upped the fanservice even more. Somehow they fit some hot spring scenes in this ep too. A few jokes i lol’d at, but the fish/shark/??? (censored scene??) No clue what that was about.

Usually a censored version of the show airs on TV due to broadcast regulations, then uncensored DVD/Blu-ray is released later.

Unless it’s a ploy to get more DVD sales…?

Chitose somehow got swept away in a "flashflood" and somehow her clothes got taken off in result she's drowning naked, and then the Salamander from Epi 1 save her.

Read the latest Sankaku post about that scene.

This particular title managed to escape from my ecchi radar. :D

However, after reading through the replies and the information provided by everyone, I figure I should give "Softenni" a shot, no pun intended.

Ah, I finally understood why, it's not because it's too ecchi, but more about the "self-restraint" about the latest Tsunami. "Flashflood = Tsunami" lol

Episode 5 finally got subbed, jeez.

The coach reminds me of Kakashi.

Episode 6 was awesome!!

This series just keeps getting better and better, and is just absolutely hilarious. Episode 8 is the best one yet!

Watched episode 1, though it's censored I liked it, I might just wait for the uncensored versions. Lights and mascot censors gets in the way of my ecchi eyes.

Starting to like this show despite the heavy use of censoring. Favorite screenshot of Ep 08. ~Nyan~

the is so good in so many bad ways

Anyone else a huge fan of Hanako?

Anybody see the new bonus episode? It's totally uncensored!!! Bewbs!!!
