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.

It does get better. Its where all the growth occurs. I was kind of on the fence about it as well until I read the manga and I binged it up to the current chapter.

It just gets better and better.

Even as a manga reader, the last play got me so hyped up!! Can't wait to see them play the actual matches!

I was so happy for that goal, and that Ashito passed. I mean, they still got crushed, but I'm overjoyed to see that douchebag having to eat his words.

I really like the take on Akutsu's character in this episode. He was initially introduced as a typical antagonist but the episode has shown his own desire to win in soccer.

Ashito's goal reminded me of Pavard's fantastic goal against Argentina in the 2018 World Cup.





I still remember watching that match like it was yesterday. Such an incredible performance by both the teams. Anyway, enough of that for now.

This was a great episode. Ashito is accepted! He is finally a part of the Esperion Youth Team. That last line by his mother was emotional. It can be difficult to see your kids growing away from you. But they need to chase their dreams too.

"Soccer's all about what you do off the ball, when it's not at your feet."
True. Off-ball movement is an important part of football.

Also, I am pretty sure Hana is listening to this conversation. Ashito didn't hang up the phone.
Oh and it seems Hana is trying to become a sports doctor/nutritionist. Best of luck to her.

I am excited for the introduction of the entire team. I have mentioned this before, but this series has really exceeded my expectations. I am going to start reading the manga when I can.

Wow. This anime is really really cool. The cliffhangers in the end of each episode is effective cuz i keep wanting to know what's gonna happen next. Ashito is already admitted and I can't wait for him to grow more as a player. I can't wait to see the other characters as well. It's really interesting. I love the comedy/humor in it too. I saw banger manga spoilers and i can't wait to see that in anime. 10/10 episode.

Aoi's fighting spirit just not only had him getting selected but maybe the two other ones. Glad to have a goal at last getting connected though.

Also answer the damn phonecall first lol.

Yeah, I'm talking about how slow the subs comes out.
This is dependent on Crunchyroll themselves, having to extract RAWs from different TV stations take different processing times.

Why does the official subs comes so late, when it releases this early?

I think the official subs release is 2 hours after the streaming depending on on your timezone.

Might be missing something but seems like a un-supportive mother, reminds me of MHA.
Had the same feeling in the early eps when she was complaining about having to take time off to watch him and him hitting the guy. (without even asking why)
I get that they're struggling financially but actually all the more reason why she should be more encouraging and supportive since he's actually talented and shows promise.

Very cool. That last goal made me really excited. And finally, no cliffhanger, the cliffhangers are killing me but it's effective cuz I keep wanting more and can't wait for more. Wonderful.

Amazing episode!!!!! I really like the characters. And the ending actually made me tear up. It’s not that his mum is not being supportive, I think she’s scared too. That ending with what she said was so bittersweet. His brother is such a great brother too. Ah, that feeling when your family & friends are all on your side......

I like the subtleties a lot. My favourite kind of SOL sports. I can see why this has a good rating.

While it hasn't really gripped me so far, I'll keep watching. While some of the actual soccer has been a bit off (and as usual in manga/anime, these kids are an at absurd level for their age), his finish for the goal looked great, they legit captured the satisfaction of a volley.

What I'm dreading is that the show will probably try hard to make me like Akutsu, and I won't be into it. They've made him far too much of a prick early on, and when inevitably the story tells me that he's "nice in his own way", I'm gonna throw my phone at my laptop screen.

He DID IT! HE DID IT! Our boi made it! whoo, I mean of course he was gonna make it but still! Good job kiddo! Thats the fighting victory or death spirit that make sports Anime the spectacle that it is. Way to stick it to that bald twat too!

Best part of this episode was highlighting just how difficult offense is. Even beyond strategy and positioning, literally need to read the mind of not just the opposition but also your teammates. Is pretty much the closest humans will come to telepathy and the biggest reason why I primarily play defense.

He was admitted. I was confident that he would. I believe his mother will support him now that he has been accepted into an official club. They're not financially secure, but they'll get by, hopefully.
