| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Tsukushi cries more than I had thought. I like the team's manager role so far, she's pretty tough. The practice match felt awkward imo, Tsukushi making many missed plays, getting yellow cards, and even fell on his knees. At this rate, he needs to really improve himself but I think there's room for that. However, I really like his determination especially with trying to go for the impossible. |

| I can't tell you how many times I laughed during this episode Tsukushi is so cute. I am so jealous of how passionate he is |
| So Seiseki won 12 vs 10, not bad... Seriously though, this episode was as cheesy as ever. The characters are still endearing and the show still "feels good" but I really want to see Tsukamoto improve already and become able to do something other than just morale support. |
I can't wait to see Tsukamoto become godly at soccer |
 |
| haha that guy who had his eyes closed the whole time looked like he was constantly in pain. |
 |
| Tsukamoto the best hype man any team could get lo000ol. I feel for Kasahara senpai but it is what it is. Glad to see them win their first game of the tournament. Tsukamoto was running like crazy. That rival school's Captain at the end lol. |
 |
| Tsukamoto is fucking great. True morale booster for the team, can't wait for him to be a soccer star (he can already run fast as shit through his endless training) The first half was sad, i felt bad. |
| I was wondering if Kasahara's nickname "Kassano" was some kind of reference to this. I didn't notice at all until my mom passed by while Kazama was talking about "Kassano", and she made me notice this :D Well whatever Anyway, I too think that Tsukamoto being able to play just because of his fighting spirit is going to get old soon, also because it's totally strange that such a clumsy guy gets to surpass his sempai that easily just because of that. Also, tbh, I wouldn't call that way to prevent the ball to go out a wise move. I cringed. |
| Great episode and I found it quite funny at times as well xD Chikako has Tsukushi in her palm xD Sad that Kasahara couldn't get picked but that's that I suppose. It was kinda obvious it was gonna be Tsukushi as the 17th member but I couldn't real find a reason as to why they would pick him though it's pretty apparent why the coach picked him after seeing the game. It's great to see how Tsukushi's appearance reinvigorated the entire team, His pure passion is helping the team relax. I laughed hard when he said "I want to win" after forgetting the coach's orders. I didn't like Chikako at the beginning of the last episode and by the end of this episode I love her <3 , It was nice to see her set Tsukushi straight and stop him from being all moody. Lol at Saku's captain xD |
 |
| There's a lot going on in this anime......except playing football. Still enjoyable episode tho. |
  |
| so they chose the worst player instead of the hard worker good one |
 |
| I like the story so far for the feels and characters, but I wish they focused more as well on the football part (tactics, training etc). |
 |
| It was pretty obvious that Tsukamoto was going to be picked over Kasahara due to the power of MC. However, it was nice to see Tsukamoto boosting his team's drive to win. Hopefully he starts to improve his skills so he can do more than just being a cheerleader. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

I actually started reading the manga last week to know to when will Tsukamoto improve. And I was a little frustrated because his development is really slow. I still like the manga though since he has something that really inspires the team! So far, manga is still on its 46 chapter so I am glad that they will do 24 episodes of this! More matches to come!!! |
| i feel bad for kasahara, but i kind of had a feeling he wouldn't be chosen after all the focus he got at the beginning of the episode. and tsukamoto did the best he could i guess, can't wait to see what he will be like when he improves. |
 |
| This anime is about a ditzy, uncoordinated girl who tried out for the cheerleading squad but got placed on the soccer team by mistake, but everyone keeps her around because she peps up the team and activates their maternal instincts with her clutziness and they're utterly amazed when she does something remotely useful. *Tsukamoto, Best Girl 2016* |
| That guy on the train though. |

  |
| Well that was a nice episode! I like the fact that we are starting to know a little more about other members of the team. I would feel really awkward being in tsukamoto"s position! It really sucks for the senpai, but he is a good guy and takes it gracefully. The "I choose you because your will boost the team”s moral" was a little too easy to see coming but I guess it cant be helped... Want to see a real match! |
luccide said: Watching this show makes me want to run too! general effect of sports anime !...Although it usually never really works! XD -did start tennis because of Prince of Tennis, but just do it form time to time- |
| Tsukushi's a total loser and the show has some cringey scenes, yet I keep coming back each week for this crap. |
| There was so much wrong with this, I can't even... ARG! D: For starters, nominating a complete beginner for the Interhigh Prelims over obviously better and more exerienced players? Dude, that's what you have test games for, not the real deal. Seconds, Tsukamoto is being subbed in to "change the mood". This was a game against their rival school, no? Weren't they supposed to be good or something? Playing with 10 people on the field + someone the rest of the team has to cover up for the entire time is not going to work. Again, this is something you're doing in a test game, not a tournament. Tsukamoto reaching that ball was downright impossible. Being fast does not make you good at soccer. You can go to the olympics as a runner, but not as a soccer player. That hand play right in front of the goal, should've been red. However, that would've resulted in Tsukamoto leaving the field and not allowed to play in the next game, therefore we can't do that. *facepalm* Until Ep4 it was alright, but now it's drifting off into lalaland. |

| Good grief, I really didn't expect him to play already, since he's still godawful at playing... though I guess it's given since we already saw him wearing the jersey number in OP. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| wow he got chosen. kasahara Senpai 😢 |

Playing with 10 people on the field + someone the rest of the team has to cover up for the entire time is not going to work. Again, this is something you're doing in a test game, not a tournament. It's not a rival school, since it's the first round it's safe to assume it wasn't really a strong school. The Seiseki players were merely nervous (as is the case with many first game of the season matches almost no one kicked into gear immediately). Having someone like Tsukamoto made them relax and give them the motivation. I suppose hearing encouragements from the stands is different than hearing it from the pitch. Just look at Simeone and Conte who turned their limited team into giant killers with their motivational skills. While on that subject, both coaches weren't exactly known as technical players during their playing days yet they were renowned as on-field leaders. There are many others like Gary Neville, Dunga, or Roy Keane who are all somewhat limited as players yet they are all captains who are able to drive the team forward. Obviously you can't compare the overall ability of those players to Tsukamoto but as far as their impact on the team is concerned, they all have the same effect. Plus, although this game didn't show it Tsukamoto has been shown to be deceptively strong in last episode. Maybe he's kinda useless in attack but he'd be very useful in defensive phase (as a defensive forward ala Simone Zaza or Vardy) kennikitty said: That hand play right in front of the goal, should've been red. However, that would've resulted in Tsukamoto leaving the field and not allowed to play in the next game, therefore we can't do that. *facepalm* Depends on the referee. Not every handball in penalty box resulted in red card especially if it was unintentional. Boateng's and Schweinsteiger's handballs during the Euro looked more ridiculous yet Schweinsteiger only got a yellow card (Boateng didn't even get one). From the snapshot it seemed like the opponent kicked the ball towards Tsukamoto and accidentally hit his palm, perhaps he shouldn't have raised his arm (neither should Boateng) but this kind of instinctive reaction happens all the time. |

| That match was so short. :( I felt nothing about the whole thing. I really hope that the next matches will be better. Shouldn't matches be an important part of sports anime? |
Isn't that the main selling point of the series? To see a passionate, honest and hardworking young man strive to get better and become an epic player? :D I like the whole dynamic going on with the characters. From the comradeship of the players, and the chemistry between Tsukushi and Chikako. There's two tournaments. Will each cour of the series focus on each of them, I wonder? Should be interesting! |

Most referees never give a red card in a fault inside the box (except for agressions and such) because it would be a double "penalty" for the team (the red card + the penalty shoot) |
| I really liked this episode, the rating on mal 7.23 is kinda sad as it's not that bad, it's pretty good infact. The first few episodes have been alot about characters and emotinal but i feel like soon we will see more awesome games and tactics and more. |
 |
| I literally sat there with my mouth wide open during the game scene because Tsukamoto was put in for the same reason I was during my first game and WE BOTH RAN THE FASTEST AND STOPPED THE BALL FROM LEAVING THE FIELD! Of course, I royally fucked up after that and instead of kicking the ball to the MF who was my captain, I panicked and hit it straight to the opposite team. It's nice to know that the main character fucks up too though but I'm glad he doesn't stay discouraged. |
| Almost didn't think he'd be picked to be a regular. Good episode, don't think there will ever be romance though |
 |
| Do the animators know how to play football? It's not like that. What a shitty anime. |
| I hope they use some romance in it as all sports anime seem to just be missing it an days has set itself up to actually have some if they decide to also i dont think he will be godly or probably not even good in the first season which i will be happy about if they do make him progress slowly. I hope days does lean to much toward Kuroko no Basket an Haikyuu!! cause it has the same feel to me an it will be nice to see it go its own way. also on him not being good in first season it takes time to get good an unlike other sport anime the main character only has spirit no background or skill in the sportso at earliest he might become ok by ep 12 Imo. Anyway im really enjoying this series :) |
 |
| I think Tsukamoto was chosen not only because he's the perfect cheerleader but also because of the actual Captain who said that he would be the next captain |
| SEISEKI!!!!!!!! FIGHT!!!!! O!!!!!!!!!! man i really like that scene alot and i didn't see it coming. it was full of spirits, hype. first time i have felt that from this series. i wish they will make more of that in the future again. a pretty good match actually imo even tho it wasn't that long xD looking foward to the next episode. and tbh Bluuu said: Do the animators know how to play football? It's not like that. What a shitty anime. ^ this art is great but the animation, the way they made the football into animation is.....not...good/well made imo as football fans. wish kyoani was the one who made this anime xD |

I actually hoped production IG may pick it up . |
 |
| Really great episode, first half was kinda sad though :/ |
| Damn, Tsukamoto's annoyingly loud when cheering for Seiseki... 4/5. |
 |
I'm waiting for that too! And I wish he wouldn't cry as often. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
