| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, they really raisd the stakes with that challenge. A very bold challenge tbh. It looks like this show is finally getting into a more serious mode. Joutarou probably still has a lot to work towards but at least he's not backing down. The training in the gym also has a degree of realism imo. |
 |
| KajiKaji's character read the article about main guy not retiring, and got mad. He challenged him but one week later. The coach showed him KajiKaji's character's performance, and thinking it's impossible to win, but believing he would say he will accept challenge. Others also happy about the duet. Even though KajiKaji's character has potential, he is unstable. Training inner muscle to lessen shoulder pain. Ninja actor saw main guy's daughter getting bullied (for liking samurai), but not understand it as bully. Special skill hurts shoulder so not letting him use that. Main guy doing well, and made Ninja actor shiver. KajiKaji's character doing main guy's 3 turns. Ninja actor and coach asked that main guy to stay instead. To next competition. Mysterious 3-person in black after ED? |

| That training montage was some serious 80's corniness haha, loved it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Good stuff, loved the training montage and the gymnastic performances at the end were very pleasing to watch. Has a nice air of elegance about it. |
 |
| Thats the power of Dogeza at its max could even persuaded that kid! But seriously, Jotaro plain reaction absolutely unexpected and surprising me. Unbeliavable samurai gymnast xD. Well, ngl, its understandable, no way he could beat that prodigy kid, on his unstable condition. Surprising he could surpassed his burden and the nervous after too much absent, in a good terms. Yeah, he still had a chance to improved, and i believed the next competition would be lit! Interesting to see a little glimpse of Jotaro's little daughter life there. It seemed she had a bully situations and respect much of her dad's job by not responding much of her bullier. Well, i am curious to see how Leo resolved the girl problem, and more importantly his own trouble that somehow ready to hit him in the near future. Another built up, and its still in a nice way. In the other side, BB always became my comedy material after such a serious tone at the entire duration. Yes, you were a bird, BB. So, you should shut the fuck up! Thats it for me. |

| It was a good episode, Joutaro trained hard but still couldn’t beat Tetsuo. I can’t get enough of this opening, I really like “Shanghai Honey”. I’m glad they used it in a op. |
 |
| Lmao that corny training montage xD Joe lost this unofficial match against Minamino but hopefully he can improve enough to win at the actual tournament. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I don't have enough facepalms for the last scene... why the fuck did they take that brat's request so seriously? Who the hell is he to dictate other people what to do. Duel or not, he has no right to demand such a lifechanging decision from someone he barely knows. The whole scene when they begged him to let Joe continue his career is so silly. Come on, guys, you are grown up dudes. You don't need permission from this random brat who isn't even connected to you in any way. |

chicken521 said: Yeah, I'm surprised to see it this this low too. I thought for sure score would pick up after first episode but that hasn't been the case, I guess it'll be only when it completes airingAs someone who started and did gymnastics all four years of high school, this show is a dream come true. While it's been a couple of years since then, from what I remember most of the moves are rather accurate, a few small liberties here and there of course but not nearly as much as other sports anime. The CGI is a smart choice as I think it's better to show the complex moves in a fluid fashion. One thing I disliked was Testuo's attitude, back when I was competing, that sort of attitude is highly frowned upon. I assume more so in Japan, a country known for respect and politeness. Also, in competitions regardless of what club/school you were in, you'd root for whoever was competing. All in all, great start to a concept I've been dreaming of for a while. Don't understand why it's at 6.73. The soundtrack is a banger too, characters are better than most within the sports genre, at least for me. Also, that duel at the end reminded me of when I had to defend my spot at a meet from some of the other guys on the team, great times. |
 |
| The soundtrack at the start is unbearable to listen. It make the audio sounds like is corrupted |
 |
| The outcome was obvious but the duel was still enjoyable, I knew he'd do the aragaki too. Jotaro gotta give it his all if he wants to take down that kid. |
 |
Ten said: yeah it was cringe af. Like the practice duel is fine cause it helps you learn each other but its not like you have to listen to some 17 year old kid just because he said so.I don't have enough facepalms for the last scene... why the fuck did they take that brat's request so seriously?

 |
| Actually it annoys me to hell how bandana guy shows no respect towards Joe at all, despite the fact that he even used Joe's move during his performance. Like, dude, sit down. Joe represented Japan at the Olympics, won several medals during his career, and he's well know throughout the country as a succesfull sportsman. Learn some respect... |
| Good episode. It's good to see Joutarou training hard to get back in shape. Too bad he lost against that Minamino kid. I'm looking forward to seeing Joutarou in an actual competition. |

AaronYami said: The op is a bop,but the ending is probably one of my favourites of the year Shelby_cat said: Honestly im enjoying this anime a lot more then I thought I would! OP is a bop too The ED is so good. Honestly ED of the entire season for me. Tetsuo is a big jerk. I don't know why he cares so much about Joutarou, you think he'd be busy improving on himself than bringing someone else down. |
| Competition for spring? hmm it's sure going to be a tense one, that black hair dude seems better than Jotaro but that's where it's interesting, I can't wait to see how Jotaro will train to beat him |
 |
| The young athletic Minamino vs. the Gymnastic Samurai Joutarou. To be honest, Coach Tetsuo only cares about his recovery and wants him back onto the gymnastic scene ASAP in tip-top shape, even for such a "fierce" competition such as this. The training montage is just so corny LOLs, but it was really well done with the insert song. Getting down to serious business, Joutarou really is pushing his limits even with his signature Aragaki move, but Minamino's stances, more than beating Joutarou at the game, his behaviour is kinda overwhelming, like everyone should listen to a mere 17-year-old's words. Hope things can go better from here. |
 |
| This show finally got going, I like how they paced it with the training montage lmao. The bar routines were animated very well and the ost added a lot of hype. Even if the story isn’t all there yet at least we have a goal now, I’m definitely gonna follow this to the end. MAPPA has been going off recently and seeing the quality (especially the 3dcg) in this little side project gives me even more confidence in the final season of AoT. |
| Another good episode. I'm glad Joutaro didn't win the duel, it makes it more realistic and show that winning the competition won't be easy for the mc. I hope next episode we learn more about Leo the ninja, he seems like an interesting character and I'm curious about his backstory. The only thing I don't like in the anime so far is the bird, makes me cringe everytime he comes on screen. Having a talking (actually talking not just reapeating sounds he heard) giant bird just seems really out of place to me, and doesn't fit very well with the rest of the show, even if the characters are very colorful. |
Tetsuo and his superiority complex. He's indeed skillful, but he should act like that. Welp, at least Joe's fighting intuition is back, and people around him are suporting him. It's sad tho that Rei is being bullied.  |
| A really good episode, I think that was my favorite episode so far. It was very satisfying to see Jotaro doing the thing he loves again which is gymnastics. And he managed to lessen or completely remove the pain in his shoulders. I await for the day he can pull off the Aragaki again. And looks like Leo's pursuers are catching up, fuck. Looking forward to the next episode. |

Come on, guys, you are grown up dudes. You don't need permission from this random brat who isn't even connected to you in any way. I'll have to agree with this. I could get that reaction from Leo because he's kinda cringy and over the top but Amakusa begging him was laughable. I already dislike the cliché edgy brat, but I'm liking this anime so far. |
 |
| Cheerful episode again. Minamino kinda gives off that vibes, like he actually wants Joutaro to continue but expresses it in round about way XD Most of you all don't like Bigbird but I this it's interesting (´▽`) Next episode will most probably be Leo focused, can't wait to know about his backstory. |
| Man, thank god Joutarou is an adult and doesn't respond to Tetsuo's stupid claims but still, why taking the brat's request so seriously? Come on, as if MC, being a grown-ass man and a father, was going to retire just because a kid says so... Overall, it was being a rather decent episode until the last scene with Leo and Amakusa begging a 17 yo to let Joutarou continue his career. So unnecessary and stupid, honestly. |

| Now that's the gorgeous MAPPA animation I've been waiting for! The animation during Jotaro's routine was so stunning... but I'm disappointed that during Minamino's routine the animation kept switching between drawn & 3DCG. The after-credit scene has just escalated my curiosity about Leo... who the hell is he?! I'm also really intrigued by Minamino's anger at Jotaro. I wonder where that rage comes from... |
 |
| so ...no more Tai Chi? |
| another good episode! Tetsuo telling Joutarou to quit is not really a good move because it will only make Joutarou more fired-up because it will be more competition! Rei-chan so cute when cheering her dad! 5/5. |
 |
| I have an obsession with the op. its so good wtf. I rewatch it atleast twice every episode :) |
 |
| The episode was as much enjoyable as the previous two. I’m liking this one. |
 |
| Did anyone notice Leo's reaction when Jo finished his performance? It seemed strange to me, I don't know. I feel like Leo is going to play a very important part in the story. It wouldn't be called Taisou Zamurai otherwise. |

| It's been a good show so far. Loved that Rocky training montage lol. |
| Pretty great episode. Can't help feel that if MAPPA had just slowed down and limited how many shows they're doing, this could've been even better animated. The transition from 3D to 2D and back during the gymnastic scenes just doesn't work. I really like this so far. Angsty shounen rival #123233 needs to calm down. |
| Great training montage. Also, looks like Jotaro's doing fine with his shoulder now. That duel was amazing. I'm just looking forward to them at the Spring Tournament. |
 |
| Tetsuo is a brat, so annoying. I wonder what's going on with him. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Leo is a true homie, sticking with Jotaro during his training and even using his secret 'ninja art: dogeza' to help him out. |
 |
| The bandana kid was annoying, the episode was fine but with exception of the training montage and a bit of the "duel" the rest felt dull. |
