Wow the Furuya's were amazing, Kota was pretty epic and their actual combination. Pure unadulturated soccer is actually pretty interesting.

Another good episode! Looks like the drunk from the first episode is set to be their coach from the preview as expected. Something tells me he was once a soccer superstar before he fell off.

This series is better than area no kishi imo.The majority of people are disliking or dropping this is because of the elementary school cast,if only they would have replaced them with middle school or high school then this would receive more attention.

I dropped Area no Kishi because I didn't get the same feeling of fun and football (Giant Killing ) that I get with this show even if it uses a more simple artstyle/setting

Isn't that... kinda cliché? But that's exactly what I'm expecting.

I'm not sure if I'm surprised, disappointed, or happy that there isn't any drama. I thought for sure the triplets would be total jerks, but apparently not really. I like the setting and the characters are fun. It doesn't get me excited, but it's definitely fun.

Kinda funny when they spiked up their hair. XD

Well, it was ok. It seems to become interesting right now.
If the drunk will be their coach... I will really think in Roberto Hongo from Captain Tsubasa.

I like Area no Kishi better mostly because there wasnt much happening just running and shooting in this , Area no Kishi focused more about tactics and improving as players. Being a soccer fan i guess i like both though i wished they could make one really great Football anime. Basketball animes are alot better :(. (Kuroko no Basket lolololol)

So there team practiced passing football that leads to attack. They should get some tapes of Barcelona football matches. They are the masters at that.

Lol at the end. They threw him under the bus. Poor kid, they really making his life difficult. All them a bunch of tsundere players lol.

Well this actually shows football better. Area no Kishi hasn't managed to show anything about the sport at all. Just some magical stuff that have no relation to real football.

Emm..Area no Kishi had more tactics? Yeah tactics that don't exist like lets pyt all out players in the center so we can lure them to the corners where is a trap or lets throw it out by hitting the others so that we ca have a magical man make a 20 meter throw. there also the magical faint and all that other crap like single players passing whole teams. Yeah football doesn't work like that.
Arean no Kishi isn't worth watching for the sport, just for the characters and their story if it interests you enough.

The passing game as a fundamental of not getting got by your opponents and always having a wide view of the field knowing where your teammates are, that was shown in this is a strong basic principle in football and it was a very good choice to be shown.
It from the things anyone playing football and wanting to perform should realize. This shows you the fundamentals very nicely. In term of showing you how the sport should be played this show is miles ahead than Area no Kishi.

True, but the vast majority of those points were scored off the weakest team who was almost certainly underestimating them in the beginning.

Loved how fast the team fell apart XD
I foolishly thought he had some kind of plan for keeping them together after the match ;)

I liked Area no Kishi for the tactics as well, that and Nana.



The 3 Furuya's aren't that bad, a bit hilarious with the spikey hair. As they as they returned they left the team again lol.

Based on the preview at the end of the episode it seems like Reika will have more screentime.
