bobothegoat said: I just couldn't get over how stupid that scene was. I didn't laugh, but you're right. This scene was stupid, because Kakerus actions were dangerous and could have made the situation a lot worse than it already was. |
Confused why they made Kakeru change his appearance like that at the end. A fusion of the brothers is not better than both separate. They could have made it far sadder, only the sister ever looked truly depressed, though the mom when she dropped the plate...typical, but still powerful. |

| Incredibad episode, dropped the series. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I did enjoy getting abit of a history briefing of how the 3 of them were in their earlier years and there was abit of a wierd feeling after hearing his brother 'died' in that accident o.O I got a feeling I was re-seeing the same plot line that Aoki Densetsu Shoot had with Kubo. It was ridiculous that his brother's soul was somehow over taking him. I was hoping the story would be about him and his brother working together with eachother to compete in the nationals, the timing of his brothers death was way too early, we didn't really get to know the guy well. Hopefully the next few episodes are abit more realistic, I will probably watch the whole series because I am a sports anime fan but this is a bad storyline to work with. |

| I cant see dropping it at this episode, the plots just started, in my opinion. |

| I like this, but I don't like the whole thing that because he has his brother's heart then that means that his brother is now in him. It feels as if though Kakeru was the one who died and now his brother basically lives in him...literally. That guy saw Suguru in Kakeru, and now so does Seven, which will lead to more problems later. If Seven was in love with Suguru and Suguru was in love with her, then the whole question of who she loves, whether Suguru or Kakeru will rise up eventually. She probably loved Suguru, but now she's gonna basically see Suguru in Kakeru. Kakeru whose always liked her, will probably not question it, but she will, especially the way the nurse mentioned it. I just don't like it. I wish Kakeru hadn't had such a drastic change in personality, because of the heart transplant. I want him to be himself.. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| So no longer do I think this is simply a worse version of Touch with soccer, it's a silly version of Touch with soccer. This episode was good up to the point where he started channelling his brother through his heart. That part bugs me alot. At least the way Touch did the whole brother connection was actually realistic. |
| probably after next episode Kakeru will probably play soccer again lol well more drama next ep !!! |
| I wonder if this will be like Yu Gi Oh! which Suguru's spirit will posses Kakeru's body from time to time? |
 |
| OMG!!! THe ending scene was awesome!!!! >.< :D :D :D I loved it!!! I can't wait for nxt wks ep! |

That last scene was so awkward..it just felt completely off to me. LightAndDark said: Confused why they made Kakeru change his appearance like that at the end.

I felt more sad for the imouto than Suguru or Kakeru, she looks completely devastated D: |

| I think its official, the anime adaptation of the manga sucks. They remove too many scenes and I'm disappointed they removed the blood scene. |

| Hello, someone just died! Shouldn't they be a little bit more sad about that? Also Kakeru saving that girl was quite unrealistic - they driver would have braked anyway ... |
 |
| Hmmm...not what I expected. It was obvious what was coming, but I didn't think it was going to be so boring and lame. :/ There was zero emotion in this episode. Everytime it started getting a little serious, they had a lame flashback...I don't want to know about how they met Nana, I want to see some freakin' reaction to Suguru's death! Anime needs to play with the emotions of the viewers, especially in sad death episodes. Now is Kakeru going to take Suguru's place or something? I mean he already is inheriting his personality...soooo cliche. Also, everything hospital related made me upset. Like: >> how that doctor checked the heart beat and asked the girl "who's heart beat faster when you came in the room?"...give me a break. >> how the doctor told him how his brother died...that should be the parents/family's place. >>...then she slapped him. Seriously? Well I guess that doctor made me mad, not he hospital... I really was starting to like this series too. Hope next week is better. |
| So then... the brother dies and everyone's sad for a moment and then just goes on their merry way? And he's turning into his brother? Blah. I'm not usually into sports anime, but this one seemed pretty promising. I'm fairly certain this episode ended that for me. I'll probably end up dropping it within the next few episodes. :/ |
Anime figure reviews: |
| something didn't feel right maybe because the art was kinda off in away and the fact that everyone wasn't nearly as sad as i thought they would and after 2 months everyones fine i just think they could have done it better...and no comment on that last scene. |
 |
Des said: And "Tour de France!!" XD XD |
 |
| Oh, so he just transforms into his dead brother because he got his heart? Terrible episode. It was just plain terrible. It wasn't sad or depressing, it was really predictable, it wasn't a shock that dead!brother died, nor that alive!brother got his heart and survived. And here I was really excited for this anime after the first episode. |
Nagi- said: Great set up for an awesome story but the writing and direction was horrible. It felt like Suguru didn't even exist after his accident. Seven being in the story was irrelevant other than they were childhood friends. It felt like Kakeru was more devastated when Seven moved away than his older brother dying... I agree. Depending on the series, it's usually fun to make fun of these types of mistakes (Guilty Crown) but i had expected better from Area no Kishi. I was really excited to be blogging this one, but judging from the manga readers' opinions i may decide to drop it completely if the animation staff is adding different things and taking out valuable scenes. I honestly don't think the anime is going to sell well (sports animes except Oofuri never sell well) and i read on AnimeSuki that the tv ratings for the show are horrible, like 0.3 or something close to that. So i guess the only real reason for this series would be to expand the manga readership. Meh, oh well i'll give it two more episodes before i'll drop it from blogging (i'll still watch..maybe). |

| I think i am going to be dropping this one pretty soon feels like flash animation to me so dropping it ans picking up the manga. |
 |
| Base on the narration at the last part of ep1, i already figured that Suguru will eventually die at the first few ep of the story. Now the question is "Which do you think it was who responded to your voice?" damn that was such a badass nurse, i like her. I was really anticipating for a funeral scene cause the drama scene at the hospital just wasn't strong enough. If the atmosphere of the story remains the way it is then i'm afraid that i may have to drop this anime pretty soon. |
| One moment everyone's devastated, and then 5 minutes later in the episode we have Kakeru's entire class lifting him up like he won a soccer game. Everything was way too predictable and cliche. I expected a lot better from this show. I hope it somehow recovers from this episode. :/ |

Confucius said: It was supposed to be sad, but for some reason the direction didn't have any atmosphere this and for some reason, I am really annoyed. that whole turn of events. I don't like it. especially that doctor. |
 |
| Dear idiots(sorry but you deserve it) the guy isn't taken over by his brother, his just having cellular memory influence. http://www.naturalnews.com/028537_organ_transplants_memories.html This phenomenon is not some crazy anime bullshit at all. Get some general knowledge before you play smart-asses. Anyway the episode was decent but i felt that the director failed to show the drama as good as he could, as others said the director failed at creating any atmosphere. Also the animation really seemed bad. |

Anyway still pretty entertaining episode, waiting for the next one~ |
 |
| This ep felt like it had so much potential to be heartbreaking... it just didn't deliver. Becoming more like his brother I can deal with, (Switch uguu) but they just killed all the tension. Bad animation didn't help. Ugh. |
 |
| So now Kakeru has 'heart', namely his brother's. =P |
| Not going to mince words, the episode was just terrible. Two deaths happened, Suguru and whatever interest I had in the series. Didn't care about Suguru to begin with so I really done mind his death itself, though I think the show probably would have been better with him alive. What bothers me is Kakeru not having enough heart to play and then getting his brothers. Couldn't have thought up a bigger pile of poo then that if I tried. That's not even the really bad part, though. What's really bad is him being possessed because of it. Yeah, hell with that. If that's what I can expect from now on, him being possessed all the time, then I'm just going to drop it now. On a side note what was even with the wreck? Suguru had his back to the truck but he not only saw it coming but had enough time to try and shield Kakeru? If anything, shouldn't it have been the other way around? |

| lol this is pretty stupid...but not more than the majority of what I already watch -_- |
 |
| while that scene was absurdly stupid, the series is entertaining, thus ill keep watching it. |
| I like this anime as a whole, but this episode... How can a person become an international footballer after getting a heart transplant? |
| if only Kakeru's bike did'nt go flat all of this wont happen xD |
| Nope. |
| Haxx. |
 |
| :(... |
 |
| wtf is this shit so much fucking potential and then they throw in superpower impossible shounen move while having the ML turns into an emo-badass motherfucker? ...................... |
 |
| Doctor slapping a patient whose brother just died, eavesdropping from behind a wall like in some cheap drama, almost all the reactions and developments - everything about this episode is so senseless, it's unbearable to watch. Give me a break, the final scene is just plain stupid. |
| Pretty much didn't like the episode at all. Wish that it didn't happen tbqh because I really liked the older brother and imagined those two playing together wtf. Good bye expectations -_- |
yunisick said: The movements in this episode were so awkward, and the characters looked all wrong. The episode was totally predictable and I'm a bit disappointed. It is also unrealistic, having his brothers heart will not make him better than before or effect him in any way. THE FACES! What the hell was wrong with them?? God. The guy who doesn't know what child trauma is. Predictable, huh? I see plenty of predictable anime out there, and, who could've guess that he was taken over by his brother? You? You predicted that? Really? Are you a clairvoyant? What do you mean "make him better"? Kakeru is a skilled footballer, Suguru himself said so, are you even watching the anime instead of "this suck", or "I must find the weakness/holes of this anime I am watching". You're making a fool out of yourself here. Kakeru is restricted by his own trauma, and his inferiority complex. Meh it's not like you could understand what I am talking about. Grow up some more before you read my post. There are 2 kind of people in this world, one is the one who will say that the glass is half full, and another one is the one who will say that the glass is half empty, you're the type who will say that it's half empty, because you cannot enjoy a show for what it is, instead, you spout BS which you yourself don't even know what you're talking about. |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ugh, i like this show so far but I hope it doesn't turn into some supernatural power thing he gets from his brother. |
| So now his personality is gonna change because he received his brother's heart? Doesn't that imply that any progress he makes now is thanks to his brother? |
