| Coach Fukuda's tip for the selection team that the Youth team are handicapped by playing positions outside of their comfort zone, even with a year's difference it still feels too much for them to overcome, losing willpower and morale altogether. Even to Aoi, it feels like he has also given up altogether as well with Akutsu's goading, but the fire in him hasn't let up, enough for Hana and the audence to cheer him on and playing by his own rules (plus lil' Hana's inspiration). Others like Ohtomo and Tachibana follow Aoi's lead, and in the spirit of competition they managed to outwit the Youth team and inch a goal with Aoi's swift thinking like a Crow for their final 10 mins of the match. Nice goal, and magnificent teamwork to the trio. Aoi coming to learn that Fukuda's decision for the strong Youth team to play in a reverse formation, is deliberate for their training as well as in their mental fortitude, that's typical out-of-the-box training. But for Aoi, the reason for scoring that goal was more than just subtle footwork, it's family that changed his attitude to becoming a true professional soccer player, and that he'll take it to heart. A letter from Hana, but unlike the contrary love letter, it's a meal schedule for soccer players...plus her own phone number if Aoi needs clarification (jealous enough friends?). But Aoi needn't look for her, as the official letter sent proves that he's accepted and signed in the prestigious Tokyo City Esperion soccer club. Soccer got Aoi's future for good, and it's gonna grow from here on. |

|
| That was a nice goal and great he made it. |
 |
| I love how it was his family's expectations that pushed him forward. That's certainly a nice family he has. And I'm glad he's aware. Definitely shipping Aoi and Hana, just like his friends. |
 |
| Everyone suddenly lost their fighting spirit after the reveal by Coach Fukuda. None of the players were able to play as they did in the first half of the game and were playing dead zombies on the field until Aoi gave a thought about what he wanted to do and what he wanted to become, he made a change. Thanks to his crow vision, he managed to pull of a great goal together with the two other players. I'm pretty sure all three of them will pass, they're not half bad. Anyway, Fukuda really picked a great player out in the bounties. The last half of the episode was hilarious where his old teammates and girl friends were talking about his upcoming plans and so on until they noticed a letter sticking out of his pocket. A love letter from Hana, everyone got a little bit jealous after seeing it. A soccer meal schedule and a phone number? She knows how to play it. Not sure if Aoi hung up the phone after he got the letter from the mom or she's been listening along with them. Not really a fan of the thing with the mom but it is what it is. |

| Wow! Another beautiful episode. I think im loving this anime so much because i was a football freak for so long. Although for certain circumstances I dont get to play soccer now but i was in love back then. Anyway good episode... |
| My boys did! Super happy for them. Being a good athlete is 50% mentality and perseverance and our three boys have shown they have it. They are so adorable lol. I am sure that will be one of my favorite things about this show. No official info on it but so far everything about this show feels like a two-cour at least. |
| Another great episode. |

| Another banger episode! Finally, he got accepted! I wonder if he'll be staying at some kinda quarters provided by the club. Pretty sure Ohtomo and Tachibana got in too. Hana X Aoi ship confirmed? Really wanna see a mini-training arc with the new team lol. I really want this show to have 24 eps at the very least. |

| Great episode. Aoi reassuring himself and finding the confidence within him to continue on was great. The goal was awesome too. I kinda get what he says about just knowing what the other person was thinking and understanding instinctively from looking at the field. I played a little football when I was in school and I kinda get it. Not sure if I said it before but, Hana is cute. I really like her. xD |
 |
| UEHSSHRHGJJJHHHH IM SO HAOPOYYY FOR THEM. seriously, great on ashita for getting back up. because he also unconsciously encouraged the other two with that, im liking this trio already ashita back home ahhh his friends are really great people. im glad none of thems jealous or anything like that bc god im sick of pre story drama. his mom :')))) what a milf. i mean Wow did u guys see her in that teal-ish dress? WOW. but that ending scene fit so well into the ed lol i got a lil emotional |
| Great episode again. All the praise for this anime is 100% justified. From production to likeable characters, it's a super entertaining package. It's always a good sign when a sports anime already hooks in the very beginning. You know it will get lit. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Woah to think that Ao almost fell into the breaking down trap, until he remembered the two person that he mostly cared in the home. Its surely pumped him up, right? Not to mention he got all the support from behind especially from that one angel. Oh yeah, no wonder he nailed in the right time and the right place to score the goal. Then don't forget about the love letter from her! Though, that last sequence with his mom saying, soccer took him away, really brings such an emotional value right cut through the end. Well enough said, mama, this is still an enjoyable episode, and lets just see how well Ao adapt to his new lifes in Tokyo.. |

Wonderful! I really felt that win in this episode   |
| Truly one of the best episodes in this adaptation! I'm proud that there is a better quality in the gameplay, yep definitely that is the major highlight of the episode! |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Of course Aoi got accepted to play with Tokyo City Esperion after being the only candidate to score a goal. Now its off to Tokyo for Aoi. So far this series has taken the same beats from Ace of Diamond which is not a bad thing. |
 |
| Best episode so far. Really proud of Aoi; of course he was going to score the last goal and get accepted, but it was still exciting to watch everything unfold. Finally the tryouts are over. Time for him to move to Tokyo and play in the prestigious soccer team. But Aoi you better respond to Hana, don't just call her and leave the poor girl hanging lol. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| This bird eye thing is cool. Best episode so far |
| Great moments in this episode. But I'm still not 100% convinced. For example: I don't know if it's a translation error and/or if I'm really nitpicking here, but when Aoi shouted, "Who said I'm giving up?" my first thought was who says something like that in a team sport. In real life, he would have said something like, "Who said we are giving up?". |

In real life, he would have said something like, "Who said we are giving up?". I don't think it's wrong for him to say I, he was very caught up in the thoughts of his family and his personal goals and it seemed as if Fukuda personally asked him "Are you giving up?" Anyway, in Japanese he said something without pronouns at all, like "Who said about giving up?" But depending on situation it could have been translated as I or we equally. |
  |
| oh this anime is getting good, i like how they are giving each character a little introduction and such, i hope it gets better overall |
| Lots of shounen in this seinen |
 |
| Despite that he's pretty scummy, Akuta's still the only one worth noting out of the youth squad so far. Even if their team is playing out of position, they still couldn't mark a whiteboard. I expect we'll see their true potential later on, as of course, we're still focusing on Aoi and co so far - with Akuta as a rival. Congrats to Aoi for making the cut. It's not like I had any doubt though, both narratively, and the fact that only two others were really playing. |

| I feel like soccer's taking you away from me.. Damn, that single moment from his mother is all i wanted but this show is just too good. The soccer battle gave me goosebumps and I already love the characters |

| Noriko Aoi is freaking hot... I wonder why nobody has made a move on her.. i mean when any woman who looks that good they would probably be dating one of the pro football players.... |
 |
| Goosebumps there. Nice Goal!! The three of them did and a great job and everyone too, arigato for believing. And yatta Ashito-kun's accepted!!!! |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Ao has a strong sense of himself and where he came from is a really nice touch. A good adaptation on this part because it does add to his characterization. Family and upbringing are important and I'm happy to see it. I do also notice consistent animation of movements and gameplay. My worries are gone at this point given the past few episodes. Yeah, it's a good adaptation with good pacing. Some sacrifices need to be made for better pacing and enjoyment. |
| So as expected, the match was mainly to test one's resolve and spirit. Good thing Ashito is your standard sports anime protagonist and has a lot of both. That said, I'm glad he managed to get in. By the way, Ootomo's free kick was actually pretty decent. He should keep practicing. |
| I freaking love it that we have a good football anime that we football fans deserve. Looking forward to the rest of the season. ❤ |
 |
| Ao Ashi is literally more about proper strategies so yes you can't expect strikers and attacking mids to play full backs/centre backs if its not their original position. Of course there are a few unrealistic parts in terms of what some of them are capable of, but the vast majority of the tactics, strategy, and everything else is legit. |
| Man, that was a great episode. That goal had me feeling Really looking forward to the next episode, didn't have to leave Hana hanging like that though. |
 |
| Very cool! Ao Ashi really blew me away. As a person who loves football, I am very grateful to be able to watch Ao Ashi. When Ashito got the letter containing his pass from his selection, it really touched me that I ended up crying. I give this anime a 10/10 score. |
 |
| Another amazing episode. Easily my favorite episode so far Cant wait for next week |
 |
| Another episode down. I still don’t have strong feelings either way about this series. Very middle of the road for me. Maybe it’ll get better once he joins the youth team. |
