Bro WHERE WAS THIS ANIMATION BEFORE??? I know so many ppl who dropped this cause of how bad the animation was just for the last episode to go INSANE. Tho im glad they did so well with these scenes as I was looking foward to them the most. But overall this episode was amazing in my opinion and Rin's VA was WORKINGGGG. I honestly hope that they finish adapting the rest of the series, but I desperately need this animation problem to be fixed.

Outstanding conclusion. From start to finish. Literally, a masterpiece of an episode. From Rin, to Shidou, to Sae, to Rin, to Bachira, everyone literally shone brightly in a way they haven't at all in the previous episodes. Excited for whatever that "Neo Egoist League" is. Can't wait for an upcoming season!

THEY COOKED. THAT FINAL SHOWDOWN AND RIN'S AWAKENING WERE CRAAAAZY. they gave us so much in the after credits too... Mamoru Miyano as Kaiser is great... expecting a Fubuki Shirou performance out of him. 10/10 episode
I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23.

That goal was the greatest thing I've ever seen in an anime , everything aside Isagi's goal redeemed the entire season and we're all in for next one , The Neo Egoist League !! Also Kuigami's reveal in the end gave me goosebumps

Always remember, this is a sports manga. So please explain to me WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON??? We got this dude DROOLING ON THE FUCKING FIELD WITH HIS TONGUE OUT... bro. This show man... and this studio had the FUCKING NERVE TO PUT THE LICKING SOUND EFFECTS WHEN HE CAME FACE-TO-FACE WITH OLIVER... LIKE HELLO???

But yeah, again, we in a shounen, so Rin whipping his tongue out and drooling all over the field is all that it takes to make him untouchable... unless THIS DUDE SHIDOU JUST FOULS HIM???? But even with that foul, Rin LOCKS THE FUCK IN... and misses the shot and passes it straight to Sae... LMAOOOOOOOOOOO. Though, I gotta hand it to them, only a second into the second half of the episode AND GOD THEY MOVED... IN 2D??? NOT CGI??? HELLO???

And that kagenashi style part with Rin vs. Sae... god. 8bit man WHY COULDN'T YOU COOK LIKE THIS ALL SEASON??? No dialogue, good animation, AND THE MC ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING FOR ONCE??? NOW THIS IS A SPORTS MANGA. Was this payoff worth the tourment of the all the rest of the season? FUCK NO. I think in my head I remembered this arc to be better, but nah man. The constant talking was so tiring PLUS the animation... what a blunder of a season man.

But that post credit scene does get me scared. I mean, one, ANOTHER SEASON of this would be an embrassment PLUS, this next arc, well, isn't the best lmao.

I've really grown to hate the fact that I have to spend the first few seconds of opening a random thread by reading a stupid ass comment made by a Sasuke pfp, who clearly doesn't like what they're watching, but still feels the need to rush in and be the first one to shove their abysmal take in everyone's face.

I feel embarrassed, but I think I should vent occasionally.
@certifiedbinger I mean, you aren't obliged to read my comments in case you didn't know. I'm just simply doing what the dictionary definition of a discussion is, that is, to discuss the topic at hand.

If I don't like something about the episode and or show, I'm going to say it in the discussion, again, quite literally the dictionary definition of it. And I don't know why your getting mad at me specifically when the other user who started the threads wasn't anymore positive about his comments about the show as I was lmao.

We won’t see season 3 for a couple of years. The manga is finishing the Neo egoist league arc. It’s a long arc, but it could easily be fit into 30 eps. I doubt that Bandai wants to fall into Toei’s past failures of getting too close or at the manga’s current page. Those anime never recovered.

Wow, what an episode! They clearly saved all the budget for the finale. The Sae vs. Rin flow battle was amazing. And Isagi's goal was incredible—if only they had animated more of this season like that!

With everything shown, it's hard not to think there will be a third season. I'm curious about the new player and Kunigami's return, although it seems he won't be the same as before. Now Rin has officially declared his rivalry with Isagi. Poor Rin—his face was so hopeful, thinking Sae would tell him he could be the forward to save Japan, but his heart was crushed when Sae said it might be Isagi instead. Haha!

Even though this last episode was great, I don't think this season was better than the previous one. The animation didn't help much, and while the first season didn't have the best animation either, at least it wasn't just PNGs pretending to run.

Man after the disappointing episodes i was waiting for the season to finish but the production quality sky rocketed to PEAK! Not just the movements but he atmosphere,the OST,the voice acting all of them entered ''FLOW''. it's sad to see how capable the animators was but couldn't make it.
HOPEFULLY season 3 will have consistent quality.

Really unexpected with the double final episode. Even though the whole series seems dull with the slideshow, ngl the final hits the egoistic spot. That damn Isagi really use those final piece of luck puzzle to close the match xd. Also not to mention with the after credit scene which sure open a possibility to continue this shit further, right?

All in all, i used to dislike this, but since Anri is so lovely with the win, i can't help but still support this, no matter what....

despite the bad animation from previous episodes, they redeemed themselves with this last peak animation of a finale. i know the talented artists and animators that worked super hard on this could COOK and it mustve been either a production or management issue with the previous animation problems
this episode proves that when the “flow” state happen, anything is possible…let’s continue to support for season 3 and leave the mistakes behind

Football in a nutshell. All you have to do is score the winning goal and you're the MVP, I'd be mad if I were Saechin, Rinchin or Nagichin.
Lil bro waited 90 minutes for a random rebound, even Barou's kyun kyun goal was more creative.

Goal and celebration scenes were handled very well, the hype was super strong!

But honestly my favourite part is that Kunigami is returning. Best character is back!!

Referee not stopping the game right after Rin made Niou fly over him was a miracle, not gonna lie.

And woah, studio remembered they were working on a football anime. I even saw feet walking... in 2D!!
But seriously tho, 8bit sure reached their FLOW with this episode's second half. The whole sequence with ultimate edgelord Rin (my god...) facing shitty aniki Sae was superb and the conclusion with Isagi's shot and goal while the "Luck" puzzle piece was falling into place was absolute cinema. Not enough to make up for this season's overall mediocrity in both visual and writing department but it sure was nice to have this amazingly directed cut as final picture so we can remember this underwhelming season on a slightly more endearing note.

5/10 - Kunigami, my boy! You are finally back. What? Got tired of fighting Hollows and stuff? (I have no fucking clue of what they are fighting in the current season of Bleach)

They were the reason why most of the animators work/season looked trash and were the reason why Hajime Nihari had to draw 80 cuts on top of drawing the storyboard for that section of the EP

The really locked the fuck in with that 16:9 aspect ratio. If only it were like that the entire season. Season 3 is inevitable, but they really need to change the studio or just take their time to release it. It shouldn't take 14 episodes to get actual animation

Aw, the whole match was about the "FLOW" but in the end Isagi didn't go into the "FLOW", hopefully it get reserved to Season 3 and later!

But nonetheless, the "LUCK" that ended the Season 1 is also the "LUCK" that ended Season 2. It is a cool plot.

They put all the animation into this finale, and it pays off splendidly. It heavily builds up to the upcoming arc of the neo-egoist league, foreshadowing many character arcs as well as showing the new and returning cast.

I haven't commented on a thread to MAL for a long time, but this finale made me come back.

So what I'm thinking is right—that they're saving that f****ng animation budget for this final episode, and they didn't disappoint us. That was truly EPIC and that's what you call an ANIMATION and not some powerpoint presentation bullc*ap.

There's also a ton of cliffhangers on the end, so you better give us a 3rd seasaon, 8bit studio. I, or WE, don't CARE how long you will do it; just please give us an announcement very soon.

I'm supposed to be giving this a 6/10, but yeah, a +2 for this last great episode.
