Lol, a soccer game? I wasn't expecting this. That looks fun though. Those were some intense moves though. I wish I could kick like that..

LOL @ Petralka trying to kiss Shinichi. Kinda funny how he feels like he's in heaven for a moment there.

Epic tier soccer with intense moves and even more intense magic being used in the second match. Too bad it turned into a warzone near the end.

I loled at Petralka's clumsy kick in the cyclone, and both Petralka and Myucel are getting along a lot better.

Minori is a mess, she showing more of her extreme fujoshi tendencies and I'm glad the military tackled her in time because she was about to shoot Erubia for playing with that soccer ball.

Now if every football game was like that i might actually watch the boring game lol.

Those JSDF guys filming on the sidelines i can see as nothing but a sinister ulterior motive and Matoba just keeps screaming out the vibe of sinister, manipulative and scheming. Looks like modern earth Japan might be looking to invade eventually after gathering enough information such as recording combat abilities of them like in todays game.

Even if the last few episode have been calm Matoba just keeps turning up to give you that uneasy feeling.

Good Episode. Although it didn't as bright as previous episode. A little boring. But that was until Petrarca and Myusel do a high five and get along better. Yes, that scene was a thing that got this episode from 'good' to 'great' episode. Hope next episodes get better and better.

Elbia chasing after the ball like a dog was quite funny ^^

That soccer match was insane. And in the break.... Petrarca and shinichi...that scene... and her blushing... I died of moe.

And then the petrarca and myusel teamwork in the end... bonding at it's finest... screw shinichi, I'mma gonna ship petrarca and myusel. NEED RULE34 NOW!

Reference of Captain Tsubasa LOL

And those magic maneuvers from Izunami Eleven actually became reality because of Elf Magic !

And the Elf's name Elfuko (combining Elfa and Fujoshi) is just pure LOL

We even have something like God Warriors from Nausicca near the end!

And I also like how serious tones still found its way into the crazy show -- soccer as a way to incite nationalism, what impact the empress treating a lowly class subject to discrimination as a pal ....
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I enjoy the intense soccer match remind me of shaolin soccer match too. I really enjoy the part when shinichi and petralka picking each other rice from their face. I also like the bonding between petralka and miusel.

I don't want to say about the government using camera to spy on them. I have no clue what are they planning to do with the record as well.

Great episode and intense soccer match.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!

lol Captain Tsubasa reference and that Inazuma Eleven parody!

I think there was a parody of Tsubasa's and Misaki's twin shoot during the match.

This week's character's favorite anime are:

Uta no Princess-sama - might be interesting if there's a real one

Roukyu Club! - wtf is it about? a loli dwarf teaching high school men-basketball club???

So your mad that Petralka is finally getting some more screen time and some romantic flag time with the MC? I thought it was pretty unfair to Petralka so far since she is the Queen she gets a lot less with Shinichi. This now will level the playing field a little considering we have seen less of her and also have seen some of her worse sides in the beginning but she has grown, Myucel also is pretty much perfect so Petralka needs more time to interact with Shinichi and show off more of the good sides of herself that she has been showing more of recently to keep any love rivalry interesting.

Also she needs to be on screen with Myucel more to deepen their friendship which will take the story in a new direction like it showed at the end of this episode.

Everytime I see Galious I can't be serious LOL

I didn't expect to see they playing soccer. It almost became a war, but it was good to see that they had some kind of progression about the problems with discrimination.

It sounded like one of the Elves was named after Marco van Basten a soccer player, not familiar enough with soccer to point out any other character names tho.

Any usually not a fan of sports in anime, and most of the times i avoid sport anime and mange they are not my thing.
This episode had it's funny moments tho like Elbia taking away that ball from Minori who was in a delusional mood and the moment Petralka started playing at the end.

Lol "Gunshots don't even make me flinch anymore"

That first half was so one sided dwarves are so much stronger then elves :P

That whole rice ball scene was hilarious.

The game may have been a failure in terms of getting the dwarves and elves to be more peaceful, but Petraca changed that when high-fived Misuel :D

Wow what a perverted conversation between Roic and Romilia at the end, why would they even be showing eroge to kids that age :/

This episode was a little disappointing. It didn't really get anywhere. Matoba is clearly evil. The military guys filming the match were really suspicious.

Next episode looks like it will be interesting.

Is it just me, or do I think that Matoba is up to no good, his eyes are always closed and he pulls of this constant smile. I'm thinking that he puts this facade on to hide his true ulterior objective. He became awfully suspicious after this episode, considering that the whole soccer match was filmed....
I'm just gonna wait for the moment where he opens his eyes and becomes this crazy psychopathic maniac...

Galius picking off the rice on Shinichi's mouth with Minori in the background was funny :D

Matoba's definitely up to no good. Divide and conquer yo. He obviously let Shinichi go ahead with the game because he knew it'd worsen the elf-dwarf relations. That's why he saw Petrarca's fraternization with Myucel as something negative.
