| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, business sure picked up fast. We got rugby gameplay on the field and it's rough. But at the same time, I see the characters are willing to learn and adapt. Surprisingly realistic episode. I want to see how far these characters will go this season. |
 |
| Natsusa is the worst, haha. And I mean that in a good way! His personality is really interesting for a protagonist of a sports anime. I've had trouble keeping all the players straight, but seeing the group of all the third years set apart for their own scene was helpful. That Li person at the end is a Chinese student, I guess? |
| The rugby part confused me. I guess we are required to know how rugby works before we watch this? Not that I care. I only watch anime for the characters and the stories, and so far I am liking them both. |
| So many characters, so many names to remember! I love that this anime has created a character that's manipulative, which is usually considered a negative trait, but he's so frickin' likable... Natsu-senpai, teach me your ways! |
 |
| Quite surprised by this epsiode tbh. Really liking the characters now and the actual rugby scene was decent (was expecting it to be a bit shit but it isn't!) Ethan still the best |
| What do you mean Natsu won't be rooming with his husband?? >< |
| Dayum, Natsusa knows how to weave his way through the complications of the huge rugby team, showing off his calibre of being manager. Of what should be a easily hateable character, it was a nice change, definitely liking him more! Having Ibuki back in the rugby club of many people was a triumphant win, but a hard one because of his long absence and getting used to it will take sometime, but the team eventually accepts his return (well most...). The rugby action isn't that bad, I'd say a leap over Try Knights. Decent animation though that doesn't puke. This episode just goes to show that the rugby sport is a back-burner while the characters take over story plot and progression. |
 |
| Ok ngl.....I'm actually kinda enjoying this one. Natsusa is an amazing protagonist so far and him and senpai were pretty funny together (lol at all the casual roasts). Don't know how long that'll last though. Kengo Kawanishi doing a fantastic job as always. And the actual rugby match at first I thought it was just gonna be powerpoint slides the whole time but the animation towards the end wasn't too bad KANLen09 said: The rugby action isn't that bad, I'd say a leap over Try Knights.

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| There are way too many characters. I understand rugby needs so many players but apart from the main trios and a couple of players I barely can tell anyone apart. |
 |
| Wow actual rules applied here like the Knock on and they feature the conversion kick after they score tries. I am glad that at least they know the rules. |
| I'm actually really enjoying this show so far. Looks like there's always that one dude in the group who hates the guy who was popular back in the day lol |
 |
| I love Natsusa's character. He's a great protagonist for a tumultuous and turbulent show like this with polarising characters and intense conflict. |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
| Once again Natsusa's personality never fails to make me laugh. I really like the whole team dynamic. There were so many shippable moments with different shippable pairings. Truly a fanservice anime. This anime has become my top fave of this season c: |
  Although we part as I leave for Inaba, —Hyakunin Isshu (小倉百人一首): where pines grow on the moutain peaks If I am to hear that you pine for me I shall come back to you again Poem #16 "Tachiwakare"© |
| Ibuku is really good at Rugby! even if he's not that big or strong or fast, what makes-up for is lacke of physical build was because of his genius mad skills at rugby and is area awareness is top class! 5/5. |
 |
| ...What? This anime is actually good. I'm shocked. I really expected this to be a manservice show without much substance but it's good. I really like Natsusa. A lot of the members are also very interesting. It's such a shame this anime is only 12 episodes. The rugby plays were fun to watch. :) |
| Ibuki is a rugby god. Wow. Amazing episode and I loved the formal apology before the third years just like threw it all away and embraced their hot player. Also Ibuki x so many ships for me. |

| The animation of practice game is fine, but rugby sports seems boring for me.. it's all about force lol I will just watch it for the cute boys. |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| So, they finally played rugby. That Taisei guy still isn't ready to welcome Ibuki back, though. |
 |
| First match we see in this series Looks like Natsusa's harsh plan worked out in favor for Ibuki I'm just as excited as some of those third year players to see some seppuku and hara-kiri |
 |
| A protagonist that actually drives the plot forward? You dont see that often. I am impressed |
