I always have so much to talk of this anime after each episode! So here we go!

It's amazing how that happy OP got so depressing now! Before it had that "he's a someone to surpass" basic sporsts shounen feeling but everytime Suguru appears now it feels so gloomy... . xP

Damn psychologists (psychiatrists?) with their boderline magical beliefs! I've been constantly warned of those and I still hate them! But hey, I saw a palaestra in a University about "real life telepathy" so it's nothing compared to... What we're talking here? "Possession through heart transplant"? XD

I love how the subs that I've saw translated that guy's name as "Leonardo SILVER" instead of the most likely "Leonardo Silva". But hey, at least Kakeru remembered we speak portuguese and not spanish. XD (And I won't even mention his skin color)

Btw they're all under 15... Sure, if you say so. XD

Kakeru's ringtone is so cool! A referee whistle! LOL

So the doctor wants so much to prove he'll have magical heart dreams she's trying to keep what his brother dreamed on his mind!(?) xD

Big mystery revealed! Gray is... Who it was obvious from the very first epi. xD Do I feel disappointed? On the contrary, to reveal it now and as a push to make him come back to soccer was great storytelling!

Wow after that resolve it feels like finshing watching a movie... A slice-of-life drama movie. No, not a soccer movie.

But next episode soccer will start! I guess! XD The player Suguru admired is that fat dude juggling the ball in the preview? I love how where this series seems to be heading! xD

Btw lol, fantasista? Well enough said! XD

what in the world is a fantasista?

They made it seem as if Suguru is honestly not that good, based on Ryochi being better than him, and Kakeru being his pass accepter.

Sigh,,,, only real men keep diaries, but if Kakeru was smart enough to watch death note he would know the real diary was hidden underneath a fake draw in that desk..... this why sports make you dumb? xD

Fantasista is a football term meaning striker or winger (outside forward).

Hmm I didn't know Suguru was an Arsenal fan, when I seen that team pic in the background, haha.

LOL Araki the fat guy.

Suguru is a Gooner as well? Nice.

Looks like they based it on the 09-10 pic though, since Senderos, Bendtner, Arshavin, Nasri and Van Persie (well their likeness at least) are there, along with Wenger and Pat Rice.

This episode really made up for episode 3. I finally felt Suguru's death sinking in... though not from the family but from Kakeru. Now I can't wait for next week's episode when they meet Araki.

Fantasista is Italian for playmaker, usually the number 10 on the pitch they play in a CAM or CF position.

They cut the moment Ryuichi got hit by a ball when Suguru was watching him. It was hilarious. And again, they changed storyline so much. After meeting with Silva at graveyard, there was a game! Kakeru was finally awakening... What happened to it?! My all hopes about anime fizzled out.

Arsenal poster, but it is quite present because you can see Wojciech Szczesny, I think Mertesacker and Nasri, and RvP. Also above them is Wenger etc. They know what to choose ; D

Fixed.

A touching episode, it's abit of a waste to see suguru pass away, would've been nice to see the both of them playing in a real match. But i guess that's how the story's going to be. And lol'd at the fat araki. Cant wait for the next episode!

It was so obvious that Alien was Seven...and looks like someone has out on some weight, but bet next episode or 2, his passion will be kindled once again by Kakeru and join the team judging from the OP...

This episode really made up for the last one in my opinion. I really wanted to cry for Kakeru when he was crying for Suguru, a very heartfelt moment.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I'm with this sentiment. It seemed sort of interesting at first, but the possession angle just seems so bad. It makes it really difficult for me to take any of the emotional elements seriously.

Maybe I would have been okay with it as a subtle little thing with Suguru's spirit making itself known at pivotal moments. It'd be cheesy, but it wouldn't change the show that much. I feel like he doctor has absolutely ruined that, though. She's just creepy, and her extreme interest in this possession concept is really inexplicable.

She just has a terrible attitude. If I had to see her every week I would not look forward to it.

I didn't think she was that bad in this episode, though. Just the previous ep.

Never heard of the word "convince" huh? Never show it doesn't mean they never did. Anime didn't show them showering, so they did not shower at all?

And yet no explanation on why it's ridiculous, good try though.

I don't get why the doctor is making such a big deal out of the heart transplant thing. Is she worried he's going to be possessed and completely taken over or something? The doctors just like, "you have to tell me if he starts showing any signs from his brother" and never gives a reason as to what the big deal is.

Now Kakeru has found out about his brothers' true intentions. But is he going to change schools just like that? Without even saying goodbye to his friends.

Well that was easy, no more trauma then. Though I wouldn't have wanted his decision to return to football to be dragged out, this was a bit too fast.
