| Just rewatched it. I still really enjoy the story. and it definitely has promise. But the animation is just plain bad in parts, especially when they're running and the clipping with the fence. Hopefully this will improve over the season |
BlichoBoy said: I hope this will become a Giant Killing, and not like many half-assed football/soccer of the past few years. AND WHO OR WHAT IS "CRAMER"? In Japan, (Dettmar) Cramer, a German football player, is known as the father of modern football. |

| Nice story, nice characters, absolutely horrendous animation. Shame as it could have been something good and a nice change for female sports in anime. Definitely needs to be remade by a studio willingly to put at least a few extra yen into the animation budget for this specifically. Definitely got the Z team and interns working on it |

| Meh. The premise is generic but does have potential, and I guess the characters are fine, but the animation? It's..... questionable. A lot of the times, the faces are poorly drawn and the eyes feel very emotionless. What's up with the running by the way? Can't the characters run naturally? Lidenfilms isn't really a bad studio. They were the ones behind animating Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, and it was mostly beautifully animated. Maybe Sayonara isn't on their priority list.... I kinda like the soundtrack though. Also, what is this? Why did the bars disappear?  |

| This is a weird one, I usually give sports anime at least a chance, but especially football always disappoints. Surprisingly one of the biggest sore points on football anime was at least kind of fixed here, the plays made kind of sense even with it being a bit stiff. The problem is that every person on the pitch moves and that is very expensive to create which is why these shows either rely on CGI for the players in wide shots or stills and the flow of the game or play gets completely lost, here they at least gave it a decent shot to make the play comprehensible. Yeah the animation was stiff for the most part, but at least the fakes and movement paths made sense and gave you at least for the players in the picture an idea what they were doing (even though we have no idea what the other players are doing and some of them come out of nowhere to do something, like scoring). The story seems to be extremely standard, but at least the problem with women playing a sport that is extremely popular while played by men is something to work with. |

| It seems like it might be okay but the art design of the characters is hideous. |

G0ldStark said: This anime make a triangle, even a loving quartet between Onda, his friends and the rival, but ignores that and the only long interaction they have with a guy is with the coach. I guess it will be the same as hibike euphonium where the protagonist has more time on screen with another character, but in the end her crush is a guy who almost never appeared in the story You talk as if most people do not spend more time with same sex friends than with partners (at least until the start of a serious relationship and wedding), and the fact that two girls like to spend time together must necessarily talk about something between them. Not to mention, there are shows that don't really focus on romance and you might find that odd, but sometimes character interactions are just character interactions, not a ship war. With this logic, any incels is more gay than any gay hood. And let's not even talk about applying that to the all-male shonen show (Hello, MHA!). And yes, the original Shuichi had a lot more time on LN, thank Okada who felt that the topic of female friendship required a reduction in the role of male characters. It just seems so weird and undeserved to see the protagonist in the end kissing / marrying a character that we really do not know in any way, I do not understand why getting married is like the culmination of a story that has nothing to do with him romance according to the Japanese. The best example of this is seeing the end of Naruto marrying Hinata. it's like the writers didn't know what their story was about and they just want it to look pretty? cute?. |
| How foolish I was. I thought there was no way a decent studio like Lidenfilms could mess up a decent manga I liked especially with Aoi Yuuki as one of the leads. How foolish I was. |
| F's in the chat despite not hating this i feel like this one is being sent to the grave looking at the chars designs before they all looked super cursed still do and it's a pretty big turn off doesn't help it all looks pretty darn cheap. will see how this fairs with the rest of the season i hardly keep up with football anime and this wasn't that strong of a opener |
 |
| I really love this art style. But I am not sure if it could hold up with this plot. Let's see if it gets good. |
| really liked the characters, story and the game even when it was a simple game; didn't like the art and animation at all, I just hope that the animation doesn't ruin the anime for me, I really like football and enjoyed this episode |
  |
| God I wanted to like this. |
Lelouch0202 said: I loved it, great start. Such a straightforward story but full of potential and heart. The execution of the first episode was nice too, as long as they keep this up, I think it'll be the dark horse of the season. It's quite a shame to see everyone complaining about the art style and the animation, it was fine to me. It's not Haikyuu levels of animation but it's still done decently enough to be very enjoyable. It's been such a long time since we had a new football show (Captain Tsubasa remake doesn't count), I think the last one was Days? Anyhow, I'm very excited for this. I hope they keep it up. Yeah, the style isn't bad. It's even charming imo. This definitely left a better impression than 2.43 xD |

| Looking like a standard sports anime but i can see myself enjoying this. The characters seems fun and interesting and they're girls which i really prefer at this point, getting tired of those male sports animes. The visuals ain't the best i hope it won't affect my experience. Overall i think this can be quite good, just need little bit of consistency. |
 |
| plot looks butchered, but tbf I don't think even slower pacing will save this horrible mess. Plot's a snore-fest, storyboard's definitely drawn by someone who doesn't watch football regularly, half-asses animation that's probably the result of not having enough time. And those lines... man so cringe. Not even getting the best seiyuus out there can save those lines. |
| Art and animation was 3/10 at most. I thought the work of the author of well known series (your lie in april) should get better care. It just not interesting to watch. |
 |
| Sad that it's the way it is, but the story seems maybe interesting. I don't drop anime so guess I'll be watching this through to the end anyway. |
| girl's soccer huh...seems generic...but i have a feeling that this might be fun compared to other girls sports out there... 4/5. |
 |
| I hate the art style and the skirt without lines for the pleats looks weird, their faces completely visible through the net looks weird, animation is not all that good. Looking at the white haired girl staring reminded me of Ex-arm. I only gave it a shot because I heard the it's by the author of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso but looks like it's just an average sports anime, not meant for me. |
 |
| An odd first ep. Odd in the sense that halfway through it switches to different characters, making me question which one is the true main protagonist. Oh well. It seems like the team will take a while too come together as a unit. Not surprising, since it's full of first years, and odd characters. The character design looks kinda bad imo, and the running animation looks a bit off. I hope it improves tbh. |
 |
| A wild Aoi Yuuki spotted :v and I like it. |
| That's one of those moments when I'm glad I was born in Italy, we grow up "a pane e calcio" (literally "with bread and football") ^^ Football is great and I am looking forward to seeing how Japanese see it and what is their vision about it ^_^ |
 |
| when most of the girls look like guys, it's time to drop. unwatchable. dropped. |

| Nice start. I haven't seen a single sports anime for a long time, so it's kinda refreshing to watch this. :) |
 |
| Okay, the art and animation dept really a let-down, its an obvious. But at the same time its really an unfortunate because the story part and the voice acting so far pretty solid and i will considered that no matter how facepalm the art compartments were. Such a shame. But well, at least i got another Yuuki voice action again this time, and its pretty funny to cover any shit this series got. So yeah, an okay pass to waste my damn time. |

| What... tone is this show even going for? The lack of music and slow pace makes it feel like it's trying to be a serious drama, and then it randomly digs into these jokes and jokey characters that feel awkward and out of place. It feels so dull, and worst of all, nothing about it makes any effort to interest me in the sport, which is the kiss of death for an anime like this. Knowing the creator's pedigree and witnessing the lackluster animation, I assumed it was an adaptation issue, and the comments seem to back that up. I'll have to give the manga a chance sometime, but this anime was incredibly boring and flat. And that weird lack of an OST certainly isn't helping. It legitimately feels like I'm watching a pre-soundtrack pass most of the time, and then there's these random moments of music that lack any sort of consistency? This is just... WEIRD. And uncomfortable. |
 |
| Curious. I liked this first chapter, I'll see how it goes. and the opening and ending are good. |
| One of the defenders actually got nutmegged and the entire team didn't go all crazy? Unrealistic crap (jk). Nice to see some early bonding between the two forwards, quite promising so far. |

| Well, we started on the wrong foot from the beginning: "if we don't win football in Japan it's over", the Japanese nadeshiko is the best national football team, so I was not happy with that statement, second, the MC said: " I don't want to play with girls because they are weak, girl, you are one. Like I said, in Japan girls are better players than boys, so those kinds of comments piss me off. After some impressive arrogance on the part of the protagonist, I will see him until the end because I have decided but I do not expect much after this. |

| (English Text) I confess I expected more from the first episode of Sayonara Watashi no Cramer. The author of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso has established himself as a great drama builder, but creating a show with football as the main theme is not easy. Of course, Nozomi, Suou and Soshizaki are characters who had a quick but adequate presentation, but it's a title that has had problems of adaptation from the beginning. The manga? Well, of course it has the potential to be better, but anime needs more focus and a goal to set. Without that, it's me who gives the "Sayonara" to the show. (Portuguese Text) Eu confesso que esperava mais do primeiro episódio de Sayonara Watashi no Cramer. O autor de Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso se consolidou por ser um ótimo construtor de dramas, mas criar um show com o futebol sendo a temática principal não é fácil. É claro, Nozomi, Suou e Soshizaki são personagens que tiveram uma apresentação rápida, mas adequada, porém é um título que apresenta desde o início problemas de adaptação. O mangá? Bom, é claro que tem potencial em ser melhor, mas o anime precisa de maior foco e um objetivo a traçar. Sem isso, sou eu quem dou o "Sayonara" para o show. |
| Football in japan is already a problem but feminine japanese football...xD, at least it can be entertaining |
 |
| Not a big fan of the animation quality (although luckily no bad CGI) but an anime about female soccer seems interesting. |
 |
| This national player at the beginning looked just ridiculous. Nothing motivate your to save japanese sakka more than whining bitch on TV. Now, Ms. Ugly Lips is back to her old school to teach some CGI girls how to save japanese sakka. I like how everyone got hyped when two rookies high-fived each other. Like, what are they doing, they're fucking high-fiving, now we're definitely gonna win high-school championship or something! |
