I keep watching this anime every week and expecting Romance to be in it, and for it to be overall a better anime, and every damn week I am disappointed...isn't that the definition of insanity?

Like what am I getting out of this? Bits and pieces of FC in action and then blow outs...like why? Why not dedicate a whole episode to a match if FC is what you're focusing on in this anime, because you damn well sure are not focusing on the romance aspect.

Aoi (the teacher) is so attractive...

Uh, I mean good episode. Knew the captain would be destroyed no matter who his opponent was. I don't see Asuka making it past her next match, but it'll probably happen. Hopefully Misaki wins again.

3.5/5

Everyone are complaining about changes comparing to source material, but no one is mentioning about terrible translation in this episode which effectively destroys the pleasure of watching.

Well I don't use subs so...>.>

Suppose the studio decided to adapt your favorite source material (Manga, Light Novels, Visual Novel or Game), and he is a yuri, shoujo-ai or CGDCT. The studio decides to change the plot and story of source material and also add a male MC and doing the show rotate around him, he will have the POV, exposure and will be the main focus of the show, the female MC of the source material becomes just a heroine, then they replace the scenes and dialogues that take place between the girls in the source material, by scenes and dialogues between the girls and the male MC, and they decide to change the personality and characteristics of the girls, doing that all the girls are in love with MC male.

You would stay happy or would have liked if this were done in the your preferred source materials


Again, I completely understand why people are upset. But I have no reason to complain. The change is good for me, so I don't care. If they did it to something I liked, yeah, i wouldn't be happy. And it would suck.

I"m not belittling your anger, but I can't really be angry over this.

Let's say you read a novel, and the story was a mess, and the character development wasn't that great, and overall you were disappointed. But then it gets an anime adaptation, and they actually fix up the story and give good character development. Would you be angry? Or happy?


your happiness wont last considering that nearly all anime adaptations that have the story messed around with never get a second season, with the added fact that this is only 12 episodes so you will get little to no story so i say all the people that like the premiss of this anime and want to see more will not get that, so they decide to turn to the light novels and find that the story they were hoping to see from the anime turns out to be completely different then lets see whos angry then.

I don't really comment on the forum threads anymore.
But I just have to say that I believe that this show is doing amazing character progression. They aren't just making one of these girls the best in the world over night. There is constant growth as players for them and the show needs to be celebrated for that so far.

Too many times in any competition or battle anime.
Our main character has a "trump card" and they magically become the best out of no where.
This show hasn't done that.

Eh, I'm desensitized to that by now. So many shows I like don't get second seasons. And often enough the source material is different enough that I wouldn't have reason to read/play/etc it.

Believe me, you'll be hard-pressed to find a yuri fan that isn't mentally and emotionally prepared for a show to never get another season.

EDIT
To add, one thing that I like better about this, is that, in the V/N, one person just solves everyone's problems. That's really unrealistic and just pandering. In this, people's problems are being solved by different sources. Like how Mashiro gained a new friend. That's a whole lot more interesting than a guy just making girls fall in love with him. Even if one dislikes yuri, I think they should be able to see that.

Hahaha, that "teacher clothing", though.

I'd probably play the VN just because of her if she had a route, but... guess Misaki's the best choice otherwise.

I'm curious how Shion even scored a point against absolute powerhouse. It wasn't even a match. Just a completely one sided game.

Its nice to see that Asuka has improved dramatically since she first started and has finally won her first match. Everyone seems to be in shock when she does an Air Kick Turn.

I don't know what it is, but there is something about this anime that makes me just love it.

The one point Shion scored was probably after he opened his eyes (displayed with more effect in the VN), before he continued getting curbstomped.
Shion is a special type of speeder, since he solely relies on his muscles and "spirit" to go faster (Kind of reminds me of Masato Inohara from Little Buster).

Wow exciting matches! Misaki and Asuka make it to the next round :D Looks like that girl from England is pretty legit ... close fight at the end for Asuka as well. I'm looking forward to the second round! It was pretty nice to see Mashiro manage to score some points as well ... and funny how Satouin's captain kept calling her "Satou" XD
Looks like we'll get a big match next time with Misaki vs. Shindou! It should be good! :D

The FC tournament West Kyushu officially started.
Mashiro's opponent is too strong unfair!
Misaki one-sidedly defeated Rika even though Mashiro is rooting for Rika...hehe
Shion was utterly wrecked by Inui! a very fast one!
and of course Asuka's first win! her air kick turn is really useful! plus while in a tailspin!
LOL Asuka's so tired she fell asleep before she touched the ground.
This is gonna be a great competition for all of them cuz there are many team stronger than the team of MC Masaya!
5/5.

The episode is quite interesting and fun, the gags are not exactly new, if you think about it, but they succeed, the narrative can be addictive, but the clashes were more daring and explain some situations that are seen , just to make things understandable. Drawings and animations improved compared to the previous episode.

Mashiro-chan got links through the town, she can do a "buster call" if she's in trouble.
Her childhood friend is tanned and athletic YAAY!!
I wish this anime had better art and better audio
YESS FUCKING YURI GET IN!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really liking the commentary from orangie, her voice is quite funny
Oh no.. just no. Mashiro cheering for both.. Where is the loyalty to Misaki
Green hair grill speaks unusual japanese and she's probably from england as well like inui
Ayy Asuka's airkick turn was cool to see.
This anime could've been so much better, it wasn't a bad episode.
Character development is good

Dogfighting is much more interesting to watch than just going around the square getting points. Almost seems unfair that the speed is based mostly on the tech in the grav boots. Whoever has the best tech will easily win.

The scene reminded me of that test where you check and see the points of intersection in the parabola xD

Those outfits look real cute and side boobs. The outfits have a touch of sexiness as well.

Poor guy, 22 to 1, he got outclasses so bad.
Nice to see Asuka get a dominant win, the air kick spin was very cool.
