This was fun, we got to see more of the guys trying to improve themselves on the field. Akira looked a bit amateurish but I'm sure he'll improve more with time.

I see a lot of potential in him and the team.

I know this is the moment I should abandon the anime and pursue the manga but I also wanna know how bad the anime can be.

welp at least they didn't use cgi during the match. Still though with the way it was animated I'd rather they did use it, I think that was probably the worst animated sports match I think I've seen lol

Soundtrack is pretty lit though, sounds like something straight out of Need for Speed

Most of the sports anime I've watched have been animated by Production IG, Madhouse and KyoAni, so I didn't know the animation in sports anime could get this bad.

So much of the animations were repeated, and they used a lot of motion tweens.

The speed and position of the ball was quite hard to understand.

The flaws actually start from the story board itself.

The opponent team is basically a villain organisation.

Everything about this anime is so bad that it is oddly satisfying to watch.

Silver-haired boy sure loves his captain, although he's way too conceited.

Haruma's tactics helped them to finally get on the scoreboard. Hopefully they can win.

I seriously cracked up when I saw that captain(sitting on a throne) giving commands.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Continuing on from last episode, Riku has asked for a friendly against one of the Big Three, Sekirei. Challenge accepted then.

The silver-haired guy Tetsuya seems very loyal to the Lord on the throne. Which in a Josei series it's no surprise.

Strategy-wise, other than the hierarchy of Sekirei, the rugby boys of Soran still have too much brawn over brains. Only with Haruma's brain and Akira's brawn will the team overcome the odds.

Again, the animation is more like stop frames rather than fluid action. Which is no surprise at how absurdly bad it is.

Looks like Riku Haruma has another rival...

Never seen such a badly animated sport match ever before, felt like some powerpoint animation at times

Riku and Akira make for a pretty decent tag team but they still have many ways to go, especially considering they struggled against a second string
