What there was like no advance notice or anything of a final episode being so soon, caught me off guard. What a dull match to be the last one.

It is ending way too suddenly. And there is no mention of a next season... I don't want Area no Kishi to enter the graveyard of uncomplete anime :/

Sket Dance is being replaced by Gintama (recap?) episodes for at least the next season, similar to Zero no Tsukaima Kessakussen from last year.

My guess for Area no Kishi is that the series is so bad that it got canned one season earlier. Pretty sure it was originally set for 52 episodes.

As far as I know, Inazuma is aimed for kids on morning time, or perhaps because the similarity with Captain Tsubasa (though Inazuma has more super power).

Personally I think the show isn't necessarily bad.. the characters are great, story line is decent and the matches and are good. It's just really overshadowed Dx

It would probably do abit better if it wasn't so unfortunate enough to be competing with quite afew other sports shows as well, which have already acquired a specific fan base. Like Inazuma and especially KnB, which is also a shounen-based sport that is practically dominating and pretty much taking all the fan base.

WTH? The show is just gonna end with a preliminary match? I still wanted to see improvements to Kakeru's Phi Trick and possibly any romantic developments T_T

Still, this was quite a nice match which shows Ri's epic saves... and the coach finally saw through the New Total Foot. *Sigh* just when it starts to get exciting...
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

The fact that they said it was the final episode really caught me off guard.

The show is ending way too soon. I mean what was the point of even starting the tournament and then stopping after 2 matches?

We never even got to know what got Mai so upset a few episodes back.

Why would Asuka even say "I will beat your Psi trick" only to never show him get the chance to even do so.

This is clearly not going to end well unless there is some sort of indication for a season 2.

I keep hearing series ending from people and thats too bad cuz although this isn't my fav series it's still good to watch, however this "offsides" crap is giving me the shits and since I don't reeli know the rules of Soccer it's getting confusing as hell and any explanation online makes no sence because although I love this series Soccer is a stupid sport for poofs who don't want to dirty their hands and the only reason I like this series so much is that it makes soccer entertaining because on TV it's so mind numbing and incredibly boring.

The offside crap wasnt shit, it was great play by the opponents. In football (soccer) rules, if the attacker is past the last defender while he gets a pass, hes offside and isnt allowed to go on. The opponents defenders went all the way up to the middle line and Kakeru was ahead of them when he recieved the pass. Therefore he was offside.

What the opponents did is called an offside trap. Kakeru and the defence line are almost on the same line and when Enoshima is about to pass to Kakeru the defence line steps up a little bit to play Kakeru offside. This is dangerous because when it fails and the striker isnt past the last defender yet (communication fail between the defenders) he isnt offside and can go on to a 1 on 1 with the goalkeeper. But these opps are so well trained that it practically always works.

I dont know if theres any good explanations of this online as i learned the rules while watching the real game. But i'd expect theres some proper rules of football (soccer) somewhere on the internet?

Hope i helped you understand it abit tho

I enjoyed this episode. Ri-san was too boss for everyone else!

Without looking at ep37 spoilers, I'm assuming that next episode is either:
- They lose to Sagamiguara and that would be a bad ending.
- They win and then it rushes through all the other matches.
- They win and then there's a time skip.
- They win and that's it.

:S

Lol a person here trying to speak for public. He thinks his opinion hold a place in society, and trying to reject others opinion by claiming that his opinion should be right just because he watched 200 animes ^^

Area no Kishi is by no mean a bad show, but it's decent at best, and enjoyable at times.

I don't even know why Mondaiji (another anime) is so popular. Probably because of the arrogant main dude who isn't even appealing Their gift game system is cool but execution part is bad. Basically gift game is those tournament where you fight and win, and it's not the least bit interesting. Try to read Tower of God and you'll see what I mean.

Their world is the typical RPG like with guilds and magics. MC is ridiculously OP that it's not even fun. 3 females are there just to be the fanservice of the show, typical cute ojousama, a boyish girl, and a bunny girl. Even the silver hair old woman (presented as a cute little girl) is just for the fanservice (loli), and the comedy isn't even funny. Yet.. it gets a better score than Area no Kishi. -.- It's just so sad.

Edit: There are many more inferior product like Medaka Box too.

So the series will end with no Araki, or Nana in a World Cup game. I would have liked to see Enoshima compete in the finals vs Silva's team or at least end with Enoshima starring at the sky as they prepare to face Silva;s team. Still it was good, but I guess people didn't really like it.

A lot of questions left unanswered like
- Why was Mai so upset about ot scared of.
- Who was that reporter
- Will Kakeru ever confess to Nana
- Will Reo ever get to play
- Will we ever see Nana and Kakeru in a World Cup

Everybody is getting hyped in the field ~ .. that is really great to see !! nice cover and save !!
They have been saved by Aizawa's instincts and Ri's reflexes twice .. they need to discover their secret on that strategy and kick them with goals they'll never assume .. go enoshima !!
Victory smiles to those who works the hardest .. by that your efforts will not go to waste . but .. both teams gave endeavors more than anyone they encountered .. may the best team wins .
That's the spirit !! uphold your determination to obtain the triumph you'll guys desire !!
The Secret revealed !! an All-man defense/offensive with rotating positions and athleticism is the tactic of the sagamigaura that is unyielding to be penetrated . now , there's a chance to counter .
It's the stress that is making the game look tiresome in some ways .. the leftward position is the center of it as the rotating positions takes places . (more details on the episode)
The Strategy to counter the new Total Football draft !! Pierce the eye of the typhoon !!
Pretty Great Episode !!! Ri stands above in this episode with his fine constant saves ~ !!

Well looks like they figured out their opponents "trick". Guess they're going to win afterall after being totally outplayed so far.
