Dang, I thought they would film their entire episode but only had some parts.

Again, it seems this episode takes a step back from playing the show's sport on the field and more focused on character development. Too bad this show is going to be delayed to next month.

I'm not even sure what I just watched. Heck, I felt kinda lost for the most part, like, who even are these people? Ah well.

But damn, the last two episodes being delayed a month sucks. How exactly is that damn virus affecting anime production/distribution anyway? Workplaces just calling things off because the thing is around?

Too much time spent on side characters and not enough on Sei and Natsu being ghei.

This anime keeps getting more boring.

This is basically just a slice of life anime with a bunch of annoying, uninteresting boys with names that I can't even remember.

watching this ep made me realize I could honestly care less about the majority of the cast lol.

Most of the anime has focused on Natsu, Sei, Yasunari, Ibuki, and Yuu. While the other characters have just kinda been there to give some commentary/exposition, and a little shallow drama here and there. Their personalities are pretty one-dimensional because of that too.
They aren't really engaging to watch because of how little screentime/character development they've had. So I was mostly bored and only half paying attention to what was going on the entire episode because I just didn't care. But that's all bound to happen when you have such a large cast, with only 12 episodes for the story.

I'm ASSUMING they'll win this upcoming game, otherwise this whole anime will have mostly felt pointless...

[edit] just saw the comment above about the delay for the next episodes. No surprises there since there's been plenty of other production delays for other anime due to the Covid-19 virus. Most anime productions outsource to China and South Korea.

I'll still finish watching this anime though, since I've already invested my time in watching all the episodes till now.

Just like Azur Lane and Marchen Madchen, the last 2 episodes delayed due to circumstances. Honestly I could care less about this show, but how far we've come, just have to finish this.

IKR too, plus the rugby isn't the focus, which shows like this really do very badly. Not to mention containing slice-of-life moments also, which is decent to begin with.

Other than Natsusa, Ibuki, Seiichirou, Yasunari and Yuu who'd get more screentime as the first-year student group, the other seniors on the wayside just don't work it even for a large cast with majority of people I'd not remember, even if they have "plot".

Just waiting around to anticipate the last 2 episodes, no matter how good or bad they may be.

Guys, it's "couldn't care less", not "could care less". You're implying that you do care by saying the latter.

Anyway, more focus on their emotions during the games like internal monologues highlighting their thought processes or something would've probably been more effective in getting us to care more about everyone. That would also lead to more games in general because less time would be spent chatting and arguing outside of the games, making this less boring as people are saying. They probably don't have the bugdet for more animation than what they have shown though.

The most realistic remedy to all of these characters with little appeal would probably be additional episodes/another season focusing on each them, maybe in pairs or small groups and creating an intersting dynamic between them. That's what should have been done since the beginning so the next best option is to tack it on afterward.

Relaxing episode before the important match next episode, quite some focus on some of the other team members

I can now kind of understand why Kazutaka is mad on Ibuki, but I wonder why Ibuki just goes along with his brother's decisions

those rugby key chains look flash, someone give me one of them please.

Another lifestyle episode, I enjoy the small outings the team does outside of training and game day. Would like the character focus to be smaller it is a little overwhelming tracking the conversations between the team especially with the scene change.
