Niikura's segment with the soccer players was a lot better than I expected. A bunch of perverted high school boys surrounding some college chick and hitting her in the face with their balls? Could have been rough. But they actually made it pretty sweet and endearing and we got a ton of cute Niikura moments out of it and some great animation.
I also really wish we got audio from episode 5 when the soccer players came across Ecchan and Mitsuri. Somehow the tower episode got me invested in the soccer team, I'm amazed.
