Kakeru struggles to become a "true striker".

Anyways, interesting episode especially near the ending minutes as a new girl is introduced and a challenge declared by a strong team.

Also, lol'd @ Nana's beach video. Mm :)

Waah! Are those players who played in The Netherlands based on real life people?
Because Honda was a Japanese player who played in the club where I live VVV VenBut the guy in Area no Kishi is named Michael Honda and black haired and I'm talking about Keisuke Honda with blondbleached hair :P

I am watching a soccer anime but all I see is Seven and her fashion, please excuse me >__<

Back to the topic, it seems like this show doesn't like to develop their opponents in a long term. It is like one episode introduce them and then kick them out the next episode.

HAHA that was kinda funny when nana played the wrong tape . Also the new girl that joined Nadeshiko japan looks amazingly cute @_@, thought I wanna see more of her personality first before deciding whether i like her or not. Also Hibino knew about Suguru's death and didnt know Kakeru was in the SAME accident is kinda weird .Oh well Kakeru master that feint!

I am glad its not a 13 episode anime. I find sports anime always feel too rushed if they have to be completed within that kind of episode limit.

This episode was pretty good. Looking forward to more plot developments. Surprised that its not more popular, sports anime is the best genre of all :)

4/5

Hibino reminds me John Arne Riise, with the whole cannon free kick thing. Good episode. Eager to see what happens with Kakeru and his new feint, and what kind of strategy Tsujidou uses.

Nana plays a beach recording accidentally, and she looked cute as always in this episode.

So Kakeru still cannot develop as a lethal striker. He's having issues when looking at the ball and this episode just showed that if he doesn't change he'll go back to warming the bench because after all in real life forwards who can't score or have problems like Kakeru won't start games.

Araki says no to cake. It's about time he becomes serious. At first when they introduced Araki in a flashback he seemed like a God now as more crack players are introduced Araki even says he can't win in his body currently.

Nanas video situation got me chuckeld and the mishievous reaction of Touro was pure gold.
Very curious now of the upcoming match against Tsujido sounds like they play ol fashioned boring english "lets hoof the ball" approachment.

I think Hibino-kun is based on Ronald Koeman his whole brash demeanor resembles him too. Koeman was well known for his powerful & accurate freekicks, played as Sweeper/DM, number 4 jersey etc. Can't wait for their upcoming match.

Kakeru is going to face the reason of his trauma, cool. Hopefully they'll be friends again by the end of the next episode.

I did not expect Mai's voice to sound this childish after seeing her character design.
