Cat's Eye Episode 62 Discussion

Toshi's training for a big football game with...mixed results:

But when they're forced to hide a stolen gem in one of the balls:

Cat's Eye takes the field! A silly premise to be sure, but a fun one. Who knew football was so popular in 1984 Japan anyway? :D Well the girls do about as well as you'd expect:

Flawless at every position. :D I think I found how straight the absurd situation is played out most amusing. Everyone just goes with the flow. :D There's a subplot involving a tutor/teacher in love with Ai that confused me. Was he supposed to be her age or older? And if older why was everyone okay with this? Well I think she's 18, but still! Besides manipulating the schmuck into tackling Toshi it doesn't really go anywhere anyway. I also get the impression there was a lost in translation joke regarding his name, Kaoru Saotome, early on as the girls laugh and compare him to someone else. It may have even been a now outdated pop culture reference for all I know. It isn't explained in the subs either so I dunno. Either way the real point of the episode comes across super clear: badass football playing girls. :D
