| Yikes...that was an awful first episode. Story was all over the place and the art and animation was GOD AWFUL. I really do not have high hopes for this anime but Ill give it two more episodes. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Winter 2525 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| IMO most of the males in this was so annoying, except their coach he was mellow to say the least =P No problems with him The animation was ok, not the best but maybe it will grow on me I do love the cute Yuri vibes. Aya and Midori was flirting like crazy. Awwwww the little soccer lesbians are in love,,,YEEEEEES their love quarrel was so fucking cute Hahaha they really like each other. They will get out of the closet sooner or later and embrace their lesbianism  |

| Visuals were kind of bad to me at times and content hasn't fully hooked me to be honest. Not the greatest of signs but it's my favorite sport so hopefully it'll improve from here on |
 |
| A great beginning,glad to see a work which focuses on women soccer. ED is perfect,if every game scene can have the quality of this level,there's no doubt that it'll be a masterpiece for a soccer fan. |

| Compared to other sports anime, this chapter felt lacking character personality and a lot of development. But it isn´t a bad start either. Let´s see how this develops. Also sponsored by Adidas, Puma and Nike but had to put "Obibos" as sponsor at the beginning... no, well... |

| This episode was... weird. Not necessarily terrible content wise since I actually love the manga, but the presentation really did feel flat. I liked how the anime tried to showcase some pace with having the movement feel a bit more lively and try to animate some actual skills for shots and passes to show how talented the players potentially are, but it's also clear that LIDENFILMS aren't quite as I wished to be, to execute such detail really well. Sure, Hanebado was done extremely well but a sport with multiple teammates on the pitch with so much actual skill and flair to add to the objective of football, is just too difficult for them. Detail wise, this is much better content wise than Captain Tsubasa and most other football manga, but it was just a bit too difficult clearly to translate to a TV anime. |
| Absolutely loved it. Must've been because it is the author of Shigatsu's, and the director is using the same music composer, Masaru Yokoyama. Oh, and because Kurosawa-san is main character again, what a blessing. The whole squad of girls is kinda interesting to a point, and the episode just flew by. Since I am a huge fan of football, my opinion on women's soccer is biased. Let's see how these high school football promises hold up to their challenge. |
| "Manga readers are annoying, all they do is complain or spoil the anime we discuss in an anime forum. They should really do their whining at manga forums." Stolen from Janethan23. Add in visual novel readers too |
| I like some of the characters. It's a red flag when they use name tags for introductions, so I'm not expecting the pacing to be good. Animation-wise it was subpar, the background art sometimes looked good but the character models/cgi were poor. The story should be pretty straight-forward. I doubt it will get much worse but it has potential... if the animation improves. I can't see this doing very well in such a stacked season. |
 |
| This anime make a triangle, even a loving quartet between Onda, his friends and the rival, but ignores that and the only long interaction they have with a guy is with the coach. I guess it will be the same as hibike euphonium where the protagonist has more time on screen with another character, but in the end her crush is a guy who almost never appeared in the story |
| I liked it although the art is pretty rough. I'm fine with the character designs but some of the still shots were just terrible. They really need to erase the fences from their digital art template because they look super bad - especially when a character is "behind" one. |
| already really liking this but it might be because I just like soccer, but I especially like that one tall weird girl so hopefully we see more of her; the animation could be better but I’m not complaining |
 |
| Ok ok, I am really liking this, I kinda agree that the art is kind of inconsistent and looks weird sometimes, but that's definitely Naoshi Arakawa's artsyle, just not as polished as the YLIA anime. Animation is honestly fine, not the greatest but not really bad either. The characters seems pretty great so far, I like that there are eccentric characters in here, makes these kinds of shows more entertaining you know. Looking forward to the next episode. That ED looked amazing though, definitely liked it better than the OP. |
 |
| didnt realise that this was a sports anime lol just thought it was some sol/drama highschool one. but it was a nice surprise ! haven't seen a lot of girl sports anime so this'll be interesting. story is pretty decent so far though the animation is a bit ... okay im not gonna sugarcoat it it looks like shit. after credits scene was pretty funny. would've definitely dropped this if it wasn't an ongoing anime so i hope it gets better |

| Nothing really appealing. Animation is decent. Character designs looks dull. Only plus in my opinion were some good OSTs used in the first episode. And wtf is that "eye bag" from the Warabi coach. The goofy faces look horrible lol. Too bad, I guess I was expecting more from this premiere. |

 I accept random friend requests! |
| It has so much potential...with football they have a sport that many many watch. I watch every CL, EL, BL match but I am not interested in women football tbh.. The animation is so weird...dunno why it is that way though Story is top, football is top...well it's worth the watch. |
 |
| As for the first episode, nothing really special about the story and the studio doesn't make any effort to fully animate the show so I am just gonna stick around for a few more episode before I might just gonna drop the show. |

Short_Circut said: RobertBobert said: @Short_Circut Don't worry, the only goal of this work was "women's football is cool". So this is literally an all-female spokon shonen with zero fanservice and zero politics. If that's the case then that's good. That should be the case with series' about things like women's sports. Show how good it is, not spend most of the time telling about it. Well, this case is quite similar to Hanebado, whose author said "hey, I want to tell a good story with strong female characters, not sell you a fanservice with female characters." Both authors consider it unacceptable to use female characters as a way to sell work.

Not to mention, there are shows that don't really focus on romance and you might find that odd, but sometimes character interactions are just character interactions, not a ship war. With this logic, any incels is more gay than any gay hood. And let's not even talk about applying that to the all-male shonen show (Hello, MHA!). And yes, the original Shuichi had a lot more time on LN, thank Okada who felt that the topic of female friendship required a reduction in the role of male characters. |

| I hate the characters designs. The VAs were great, episode was alright I guess. I liked the ED visuals. |
 |
| That art looks interesting, not entirely bad but the story looks pretty promising. Women's soccer is a refreshing feeling after all the other sports anime. Let's see how well the story progresses. |
 |
| Not a fan of the art-style. That's my main isseu so far. Animation-wise is a bit iffy at times, but I can deal with that. First impressions is a mixed bag, honesty. I'll be contineuing anyway, since I do like my football every now and then. |

| Eh, I don't know what I was expecting. For now, it's just a generic sports anime, but with females. |
 |
| Unfortunately, this looks like it will a poor adaptation of the source material. The character designs are strong and while the premise isn’t anything too different, it still feels like it has its own spin to the sports anime formula. The OST is good when it actually plays. There is a lot of uncomfortable dead air that would be improved if there was some music in the background. The animation is average at best, but the most disappointing aspect is the art. It feels very under-detailed and borderline bad in some instances. I’m worried that may be a deal-breaker. |
viniciust48 said: what the fuck are you even saying ,A1 picture is one of the top tier studio have you watched your lie in April, seven deadly sin S1 and 2 , Anohana, kaguya sama, erased, don't get trigger but go and check out Sao S3 and S4 fight scene, they are currently handling 86, don't embarrass yourself by speaking all this nonsenseSo sad that another good story is gonna be butchered for a bad studio, even A1 Pictures would make a better work than this garbage named Liden Films |
| I guess I'll go read the manga. I guess LIDENFILMS never miss, eh. |
| Finally a girls sports show that doesn't involve butts and fanservice(though Keijo wasn't that bad. Also there was Hanebado too but still). Really hoping up to see some camaraderie and ace players in action. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Just rewatched it. I still really enjoy the story. and it definitely has promise. But the animation is just plain bad in parts, especially when they're running and the clipping with the fence. Hopefully this will improve over the season |
BlichoBoy said: I hope this will become a Giant Killing, and not like many half-assed football/soccer of the past few years. AND WHO OR WHAT IS "CRAMER"? In Japan, (Dettmar) Cramer, a German football player, is known as the father of modern football. |

| Nice story, nice characters, absolutely horrendous animation. Shame as it could have been something good and a nice change for female sports in anime. Definitely needs to be remade by a studio willingly to put at least a few extra yen into the animation budget for this specifically. Definitely got the Z team and interns working on it |

| Meh. The premise is generic but does have potential, and I guess the characters are fine, but the animation? It's..... questionable. A lot of the times, the faces are poorly drawn and the eyes feel very emotionless. What's up with the running by the way? Can't the characters run naturally? Lidenfilms isn't really a bad studio. They were the ones behind animating Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo, and it was mostly beautifully animated. Maybe Sayonara isn't on their priority list.... I kinda like the soundtrack though. Also, what is this? Why did the bars disappear?  |

| This is a weird one, I usually give sports anime at least a chance, but especially football always disappoints. Surprisingly one of the biggest sore points on football anime was at least kind of fixed here, the plays made kind of sense even with it being a bit stiff. The problem is that every person on the pitch moves and that is very expensive to create which is why these shows either rely on CGI for the players in wide shots or stills and the flow of the game or play gets completely lost, here they at least gave it a decent shot to make the play comprehensible. Yeah the animation was stiff for the most part, but at least the fakes and movement paths made sense and gave you at least for the players in the picture an idea what they were doing (even though we have no idea what the other players are doing and some of them come out of nowhere to do something, like scoring). The story seems to be extremely standard, but at least the problem with women playing a sport that is extremely popular while played by men is something to work with. |
 |
| It seems like it might be okay but the art design of the characters is hideous. |

It just seems so weird and undeserved to see the protagonist in the end kissing / marrying a character that we really do not know in any way, I do not understand why getting married is like the culmination of a story that has nothing to do with him romance according to the Japanese. The best example of this is seeing the end of Naruto marrying Hinata. it's like the writers didn't know what their story was about and they just want it to look pretty? cute?. |
| How foolish I was. I thought there was no way a decent studio like Lidenfilms could mess up a decent manga I liked especially with Aoi Yuuki as one of the leads. How foolish I was. |
| F's in the chat despite not hating this i feel like this one is being sent to the grave looking at the chars designs before they all looked super cursed still do and it's a pretty big turn off doesn't help it all looks pretty darn cheap. will see how this fairs with the rest of the season i hardly keep up with football anime and this wasn't that strong of a opener |
 |
| I really love this art style. But I am not sure if it could hold up with this plot. Let's see if it gets good. |
| really liked the characters, story and the game even when it was a simple game; didn't like the art and animation at all, I just hope that the animation doesn't ruin the anime for me, I really like football and enjoyed this episode |
  |
| God I wanted to like this. |
Lelouch0202 said: I loved it, great start. Such a straightforward story but full of potential and heart. The execution of the first episode was nice too, as long as they keep this up, I think it'll be the dark horse of the season. It's quite a shame to see everyone complaining about the art style and the animation, it was fine to me. It's not Haikyuu levels of animation but it's still done decently enough to be very enjoyable. It's been such a long time since we had a new football show (Captain Tsubasa remake doesn't count), I think the last one was Days? Anyhow, I'm very excited for this. I hope they keep it up. Yeah, the style isn't bad. It's even charming imo. This definitely left a better impression than 2.43 xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Looking like a standard sports anime but i can see myself enjoying this. The characters seems fun and interesting and they're girls which i really prefer at this point, getting tired of those male sports animes. The visuals ain't the best i hope it won't affect my experience. Overall i think this can be quite good, just need little bit of consistency. |
