Heh, this show loves its fan service in the locker room.

Kinda disappointed we didn't get much gameplay this episode on the field but whatever. It seems the pacing is slowed down a bit to get the team members together. There's also some other prominent players outside of their team they should keep an eye on.

I love how deliciously and unapologetically gay this anime is.... x'D

That said, I also love its other details. Pacing seems ok, and we actually get to know the characters while it still keeps them in the sport environment. I think the proportions are just about perfect.

OMG the fanservice that I have wait for so long, but I want more!

Just like how in Disney's cartoon that dance scene = sex, in number24 it's bully = sex.

Though in the changing room scene, in one shot Tsuru's boxer shorts are very short, and in another scene it suddenly gets longer. The production team might need to consult with KyoAni on how to animate consistent male's sexy clothes.

Oh no! At the end Natsusa was infected with coronavirus?

So many guys in their underwear!! That was somehow unexpected, but completely appreciated. lol.

Natsusa has started "bullying" another character. He's really interesting and charming.

It's nice watching something light hearted, where I don't have to worry about plot or anything. I love complex stories, but it's nice to watch something without getting too invested in it.

I kind of . . . want to. . . try putting ribbons on my hair...

Oh shit, what's happened to Natsu?! It's so horrible to see him that helpless when he's usually so vibrant!

His sadistic was showing A LOT in this episode haha At least poor Ibuki got a break while he mentally and emotionally tormented Yasunari!

I was very grateful this episode for the abundance of doujinshi worthy scenes hehe

Manservice in the men's locker team, that's nice. Along with all that gayness overflowing...

As usual, Natsusa plays his cards well, and now that Tsuru has to cover for said player-turned-manager, he's on the conflict side, and Natsusa has to control him on his usual "creative bullying/teasing" side for improvement while being worse for the most part. And I love it when the derogatory is used differently for the long-lasting benefits, to have a character like Natsusa, I'd really want a friend like him.

It's nice to have someone like Yuu be the players' strategist when it comes to player records, and in ultimatum, to get Tsuru back into shape.

And the preseason match starts with little fanfare, but mostly concerns on Tsuru's side, and with the usual goading of Natsusa, he is able to get his style back.

A frightened and nervous Natsusa means trouble...what could this be?

This anime is enjoyable so far. Rugby is just a contour line, while the main genre seems to be slice of life. The seriousness of Natsusa's altruism is blended with his sadism and humour in order to lighten the atmosphere, preventing this show from looking overly serious.

The best savage anime character award goes to Natsusa that's for sure. Omg, his character development with Yasunari was so entertaining to watch!! I love how Sei is probably the only chara who Natsusa doesn't bully hehehe. And how he called out to call Sei,,,,..(。♥‿♥。)

This show is slowly stop pretending to be about rugby and slowly making clear it's about the MC collecting a harem of various colored hair boys.

Hopefully Sei wins.

So many yaoi doujinshi are going to come from this show lol.

Natsusa continues to be great. Tbh he's my favorite character from this season out of the 10 shows I'm keeping up with.

Tsuru has finally got his groove back, due to becoming Natsusa's bottom bitch. :P

But, what's happened to Natsusa? Is he paralyzed?

Natsusa sure knows how to get to people, mentally. He's really clever and using dirty tricks which makes me love him even more.
I'm really enjoying the show actually, Natsusa is a 10/10 character, him being delicate while having such a strong person is so hot lol

Natsusa really is one hell of a main character, being blunt and all

Just when I missed my episodical Ibuki bullying, we got some near the end
