Aww, that was kinda cute for an episode. The night festival, Tachibana in a yutaka..(she looks adorable!), and stuff made that felt like a date tbh.

I think at mid-season, they chose a decent timing for a breather episode. I have confidence the team will make a comeback soon. When life knows you down, get back up!

Good episode, Did they improve the art? Everything looked really good this episode, The lighting was really really good.

Sayuri was really cute in the first half, Nice little outing she and Tsukushi had. Was kinda funny how she was crying over the soccer team stealing Tsukushi away from her.

Second half was pretty fun too, Kazama is a genius in academics too, Poor guy was sent out though. XD
Kurusu's perverted comments were funny as well.

Was nice of Usui to advice Tsukushi to focus on improving himself before thinking about the team, That's something he really needs to do. Always nice to see how well rounded the Seiseki team is.

I like the visuals for the new OP but I think I prefer the old song over this one. ED is great.

First things first, the new OP and ED are both great, visually and with sound, you can jam to both.

Also some guys in the OP with red jerseys looked like AC Milan, that's hype right there, can't wait for them to debut.

Overall pretty cheerful episode after the break. The running continues.

I have to start by saying that the new opening was great.
And just when I wondered what role would fulfill the female characters in the series, a chapter is sent each to demonstrate the proper support they can be.
In addition to Sayuri you look cute in Yukata.
A nice studio session with the necessary advice and excellent results of a study group.
The ending also improved.
5/5

It was a nice change of pace to have this breather episode after what went down in the last several episodes. Simple festival stuff (Sayuri looked nice in the yukata) and some comedic study time. Poor Mizuki failed his exams lol.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I liked this episode, because I didn't have to get irritated with this anime's football scene in this episode, only normal slice of life scene lol (which maybe it's not a good news to this anime, since it is a football anime)

Nice episode. The girls are cute, though redundant. Should have just been a romcom, as the writer seem to know nothing of the sport nor did any research.

So even now after that major loss which should have changed the MCs mindset, he decided to go running instead of practicing actual soccer after being told to do his best at the end...

I officially give up, this was the last episode of DAYS that I will watch.

Considering how it's going now the MC will probably play for the Japan national team in the olympics and join the champion's league in europe without ever having touched a ball during training, he just runs marathons every day.

Tsukamoto's gettin' a harem~

Welp, we've restarted on a relatively quiet note, but it was still a good episode for developing the backstories for many of our side characters.

Next is the second training camp, which will be more intense than their first one, with bigger, better teams to go up against.

After watching the preview, you know that next episode is gonna be waterworks for sure (well... I know cause I've read it already)... and good development for Tsukamoto's up and coming teammates.

Not sure why everyone's so pissed off with this show. They balance out the SoL and the Soccer bits quite well. Just because they don't show you every training shot doesn't mean that they don't train on the pitch with the ball, yo. The first arc was all about developing Tsukamoto's mental game and changing his loser mind-set. You'll be seeing Tsukamoto's skill improvements on the pitch soon enough.

tsukushi man, just running all the time won't help you improve, do some real soccer training.

this episode was pretty funny though, i guess the series isn't so bad when it's not just still image soccer matches.

When he was asked to help in the kitchen, I expected him to fuck it up, then go out for a run to learn how to cook.

It's directed by Utsumi Hiroko (the director of the Free! franchise and Free!'s EDs) I don't watch Days but I thought the ED was pretty great and now I know why :P

At least I'm not the only one that hates this anime logic.
Can't score a goal to an empty goal? Go for a run. That'll solve everything.

13 episodes in and we still see Tsukamoto running instead of training with a ball. Even that fail in the last game should have been an obvious hint that he needs to improve his football skills.

Saying that this sports anime doesn't do justice to football would be an understatement.

So much to comment on... hmmm...
in the flash back they made it look like he completely whiffed it when I'm pretty sure he hit the goal post.
Sayuri :>... poor girl, got boy stolen by men.
Of course he is a top student, he makes the calculated passes!
I feel you Kazama :<
MOM knows what's up.

Finally, a new OP. It sounds livelier than the first one. "What are you doing now!?"

Do any of these guys have girlfriends? Why are they freaking out over Ubukata and Sayuri spending time with Tsukamoto? lol

Wasn't really sure about this series but I guess I'm still watching for now. This was a good episode, a nice breather before we dive back into the actual soccer. Sayuri was super cute in the kimono and her reaction to Tsukushi getting taken away by the soccer team XD

The second half was pretty funny with all the guys studying and Kimishita in glasses! I enjoyed the slice of life bits and I want to see more of the team members just interacting. Captain and Usui kinda seemed like the team mom and dad, and parenting Tsukushi lol. Nice to see Usui get some development.

I'm actually disappointed that this show hasn't really introduced the other Seiseki players much-- if you don't really like Tsukushi that much, there's not a lot of other characters to really connect with on the team, and I think that's one o the show's weaknesses. I actually don't really care much if Seiseki wins or loses their matches since I feel like we haven't really gotten to know the team that well and aren't invested in them (and even if you like Tsukushi as a character, he's too weak as a player).

The logic in this anime though.. Tsukushi talks about how he's the slowest on the team, even after all that running?! Even though that's pretty much his only physical ability right now... He should really practice with a ball sometimes instead of running so much, just saying...

Clearly not. Besides guys/girls always freak out in anime over things like that.


Though why did they need to help first years when all of them are part of cheering squad to begin? It's not like they would contribute much to the team at this stage.

Glad Sayuri only sees Tsukushi as family. Some romantic tension would be the last thing this series needs.

Decent episode I guess. Tsukushi still runs instead of practicing with a damn ball. Study session at Ooshiba-senpai's house with Kurusu and co. was quite funny tho.

This entire episode was better than the whole anime up to this point. New ending is kickass too, even better than the previous, specially in visuals. This is the first episode I can say I really liked.
Pretend there's something flashy and cool here.
