| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh a game against another university. I feel like this is a test for the rugby club to see how the team can work with each other. That Natsusa sure is popular though. Team still needs a lot to improve but learning is part of the process. Ibuki is still someone to keep an eye on. |
 |
| It was weird how quickly the latter part of the match was basically just... cut. Natsusa sure isn't shy OR subtle though. x'D |
| There are so many relationships we didn't know about like the red head boy with Natsusa back in middle/high school. In the ED, we learned they all kinda shared a childhood together, the main trio and him. Speaking of the ED, I love how this anime switches EDs so often that it's interesting to watch them for the illustrations! The Ibuki x Ethan stuff is lols, I'm surprised Ibuki can carry the team so well. Again, really wish this anime was more than 12 eps :( phantomfandom said: LOL That scene got me! I'm like "thank you god for the BL fanservice"Tell me I'm not the only one who want to sit on Ibuki's dick LOL |
| I want to sit on my crush's crotch the same way Natsusa sat on Ibuki's. lol. I am not familiar with many sports, so I have a question. Does Rugby always look homoerotic or is it only looking like that here because of the designs? Natsusa is not delicate at all; he gave such a nice speech to his man-spreading friends. The train had a lot of empty seats. Why were some of the boys standing? It didn't seem like they wanted the team members sitting together since the boys were quite spread out. I think the animators should have added more background characters to fill the empty spots and have the scene feel more genuine. |
| Oooh, I wonder what the story is between Natsu & Yasunari?! Seems super like they have a very complicated relationship. Yet again, Natsu's shady bitch vibe had me laughing so much! I really love his tsundere attitude towards Ibuki, especially since Ibuki seems to like it... little masochist! Seeing how Number14 of the other team plays and everyone saying he's so similar to Natsu made me so sad; it made me realise what a loss Natsu has had no being able to play anymore... |
 |
| Ok I'm seriously thinking this show is really underrated. If it had some better flow with the directing this could easily become a really fun sports anime. Natsusa is a really good protag. (Kengo is doing an amazing job with him) and tbh the animation during the key moments of that match was really well done (otherwise it was kinda PowerPoint slide ish lol) |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Lol, when Natsusa lectures the boys on manspreading, that was unexpected but really funny. The relationship between Natsusa and yasunari tsuru seems complicated and some history™ i cant wait for us to uncover more :') im so invested in this series |

Short_Circut said: Same lol. It's sad most of the anime community will brush this anime off as "trashy fujo manservice" because of how it looks on the outside. So far I think this anime is a solid 7/10 and can be even higher depending on how it's handled for the next few episodes.Ok I'm seriously thinking this show is really underrated.

Yo can a fellow manga reader tell me if natsusa gets to play again or not just answer with a yes or no don't want any spoilers ty |
MehmetY said: Not blaming anyone, it's just the truth. Yeah, there's definitely at least one fujobait scene per episode. Nothing to complain about since male-targeted shows do the same with yuri. Regardless, this anime is actually pretty good which is surprising because it could have gone the easy route out and just had only fanservice with little effort in storytelling. Seeing your score, we probably disagree on this.Mayuka said: Same lol. It's sad most of the anime community will brush this anime off as "trashy fujo manservice" because of how it looks on the outside. Well, you can't blame them. There's already some moments where the show gives fujo manservice vibes. Also Rugby isn't a popular sport in most countries so it's normal for this show to be underrated. |

Definitely with a bit of polishing this is actually a pretty good series. Kinda sucks that it's just barely above 6 |

| The fujoshi manservice is DAYUM strong this episode. With Natsusa trashing more of Ibuki (such as sitting on his dick), and the seniors manspreading, he's more of an "elite" character in the serious sense, but sure knows how to play around. WELL, on top of being an "elite" player in the past, he also has fans from opposing schools. Case in point, the 1st-year fan of Natsusa is displaying imitation footwork just like the "elite", which is putting Yasunari in disarray of memories of distant past (when Natsu was still playing for the team). And finally, the reserve player Ibuki is given his moment to shine...albeit learning from past experience from support player Ethan. With the first loss, in part due to Tsuyu's endless frustration, it's time to get his act together. I'd consider this series good if it stuck to a formula that sticks and lands, but right now it hasn't reached there yet. |

| I liked the game. Simple but useful for characterisation. Ibuki is still the best character in the show, and he's only improving. |

| first half of the ep made me chuckle once or twice but the rest was such fucking shit. boring dialogue 90% of the time, trash rugby animation, and the foreign blonde dude + ibuki's voices (esp when they imitated english) made me want to die. |

| Tsuru couldn't handle the idea of being bested by Natsusa's double, and ended up getting a penalty because of it, and the team lost. |
 |
| I feel bad for Ibuki, getting chewed out by Natsusa lol I'm curious to see what the deal is with Yasunari, I have the feeling he was a big fan of Natsusa |
