It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Ro-Kyu-Bu! SS this summer as the series premieres in Japan on July 7th and a new commercial promoting it has arrived. The series saw simulcast with its first season on The Anime Network and Sentai Filmworks announced the home video rights to it later, but were asked to return them by the original licensor later on, resulting in the series not finding a home video release here. With the second season, it’s unsure where it’ll end up and if it does go where the first was, will it see a home video license that gets followed through on with the first season finally included?
Plot Concept: Talk about games being called unexpectedly! Hasegawa Subaru joined the basketball club at Nanashiba High, only to have his hopes dashed when the teams’ play is suspended after the captain is suspected of having inappropriate feelings for the coach’s underage daughter. Blindsided and blocked by bad luck, Subaru expectedly finds an opening for his talent with the hoops when his aunt asks him to take on the task of coaching a young girls’ basketball club – a Ro-Kyu-Bu!. But can a superstar wannabe find true satisfaction while playing sixth man to a team of five girls?
Super excited for this! I loved the first season, so hopefully this one will be even better.
