Hmm, compared to the others, Sakaki seems to be colder and less friendly. He's almost like an opposite of Yamato, who is friendly and energetic.

In terms of of skills, Yamato needs to improve more. It seems the episode is still preparing its main cast for upcoming matches.

Nothing extraordinary again, but it's cool to see the boys playing some futsal and improving their skills.

So far, this has been an okay show. And at least this is better than Sayonara Watashi no Cramer IMO.

So boring whenever there's no matches going on, this unfortunately fell into the sports genre trap of being uninteresting whenever they're not playing

As for the developments itself the "solo player" troubles seem interesting, his backstory on why he plays that way should be revealed soon. As for our main red-haired protag he's still the "newbie but very enthusiastic" trope. Not surprised this went straight to a national competition with no regionals considering this should only run for 12 episodes

Is it just me, or do the lip flaps not really match up with what's being said sometimes?

It's not a big issue, just something I noticed when watching it.

Music slaps and the story seems OK so far. Might watch the rest of it πŸ‘

I can't quite put my finger on what makes me like this more than most other low profile all boys sports anime we used to gez. Setting aside my frame of mind, I would say it's somewhere between the sport being futsal and that it's a bit flashier and less grounded.

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

What's better than stopping a rigged match? Have high-profile Ikemen come to the rescue and give a taunt for first impressions.

Hmm, going off to the Tournament arc THAT FAST? Yep, liked it better than most average mixed-media shows where it takes eons to get there. And training starts now to get them in shape, especially to newbies Ryuu, Yamato and Sasaki. The problem doesn't stop there as Sasaki is pretty much a one-man team whom earned the ire of his past teammates, and the same issue affects the current Koyo futsal team.

Sasaki to play ala, the play-caller of the team, team captain Toi Tsukioka is putting in a bold risk move that he's betting that will work to bring him out of his self-centeredness. This is even worse when they're called to play Adalbert School, Sasaki's former teammates whom achieved U-18 statuses as their first opponent.

Just fingers crossed.

Hmm...I would hold off that thought.

Those who have watched Haikyuu! can easily say that this is the cheap copy of Haikyuu! with Sakaki's character totally based on Kageyama from Haikyuu!

Anyways, it is not that bad and the OSTs are good tbh

Although I don't know why every character is too much colourful and unrealistically handsome and the way those kicks of Haru were shown, lol is he getting power ups or something all of a sudden?

The friendship between Toi & Tsubaki was a highlight of this episode, let's see what is there in the tournament arc for us

This show is ass, lol. I had to pause the episode when MC did his special move at the beginning of the episode, because I was laughing too hard. And that was the BEST part of the episode. The rest was uninteresting, the MC is obnoxious, Sakaki is a jerk, and the animation is poor. And that's to say nothing of the fact that futsal is just football with smaller goals and less players. Why "make up" a sport if there is no tangible difference to it's real life counterpart?

There's always a Kageyama that doesn't want to work with others! For me, only "Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru" did a good job with such a character. This anime is doing a worse job than most other anime I know.

I can tell the artists of this anime are really skilled, but their abilities are not being used to their full potential! But, I won't blame the artists. They are probably not paid well enough.

Everybody looks so pretty. They look more like idols than athletes. I can't imagine any of them liking sports. They don't even sweat! lol

Clearly, the creators of this anime were not trying to tell a story. But, I can't figure out what exactly they wanted to do other than fujo-bait.

I'm at my limit now, can't get myself to continue this anymore.

If I wanted to compare then this is just like Try Knights. Both give off super average and boring vibes to me. But I would've continued this if the characters weren't such Chuunibyous, giving their shots ridiculous names.

Woah I feel like seeing a cheap footbal version of Haikyuu there ... ?
Same MC interactions it's kinda boring and not fresh at all.
Hinata X Haru and Kageyama X Sakaki. They only changed chara-design and name.
Disappointed.
