THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
After a 2 week break looks like we move into a training filler arc. This episode was nice, kinda disappointed there was no new OP but nevertheless it was still good.

¬ The brazillians show us how they play their football, I found Leonardo's constant "show off skill then glance at Kakeru with a creepy smile take!" quite funny xD

¬ Also Gotta luv Mai chans teasing and her acrobatic skills <3 hate seeing her depressed like that for some reason=/ I wonder who that person was that got her so freaked out?

¬ And Araki binge eating again, When I saw him with his bags packed I actually thought he was going away for some serious training lol -_-

Anyways looks like next weeks ep will be more fan service and some introduction to some new characters. With a tight summer schedule looks like im still be able to fit in more Area no Kishi ;)

Ignoring the random drama moment
it was pretty good. It was like make up for all the beach soccer all the other episodes missed, and there were so many good moments, and silly faces, and what not. And next time is even a beach episode! I cant wait til were back at the normal games though, GG made me realize how much I missed the other announcer.

And the new eyecatch thing was great.

I'm still watching this episode, but I like the new opening sequence, even if it is the same song. :P

I love the idea of Kakeru x Mai, even though it probably won't happen : (

Other than that, Araki sure gets skinny fast, I mean by next episode he looks all fit and everything.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Looks like Mai might be the focus of the story soon.
I wonder what will happen if that paparazzi reveal those things about her.

Love the new animation in the OP... though I hope we get a new song too.

Looks like Mai has some own problem to resolve there.

Next time it's BEACH time!

Nana should really start making her move on Kakeru and I mean it NOW. Mai's really not letting off the hook and that poor Kakeru boy doesn't know how to say no.

Dunno who that man going after Mai is, but he needs quite a beating from everyone.

Another average episode, but things could turn out interesting with Mai.

Brazilian skills

And I just knew that Araki was going to get fat again because he was running in the new version of the opening.

Silva is such a badass, lol.

This is, like, the best episode so far. Comedy and drama perfectly mingled, no stupid Suguru Mode, and a lot of heartwarming moments.

It's good that they changed OP animation, but I'd like a new one instead. The platform with episode's name and new eye-catch is cool though.

Next time it will be a beach episode, so a lot of swimsuits and comedy are guaranteed. I kinda like these fillers.

This anime is enjoyable so far but it suffers from overexposure of annoying characters like Mai.

Knight > two kings to enoshima's soccer !!
The Tokyo match !! Shukyu vs Teito !!
The Embodiment of Ginga .. Leonardo Silva !!
Victory goes to shukyu of the famed professionals !!
Loving the mood between the love triangle of nana-kakeru-mai ~ !!
Araki .. you did it again !! .. but reasonable enough for me !! keep training hard with "weights" .
Looks like it's about time they'll tell Mai's story .. hope she became more honest to herself .
Pretty great episode !!!
The "Changes" are nice ~ !!

Mai has someone she doesn't want to meet (I'm guessing it's her father or something like that) and Araki just went and got fat again. His excuse didn't sound that convincing.

So it looks like it was his brother afterall and not some latent potential bullshit.

And those girls are walking over 15-18 year old boys way too easily.
