| It's wild how this can be hype and boring at the same time. I like the parts that are actually happening, but the presentation of those events are severely lacking |
 |
ooo yeah this had some peak, better than ep2 for sure. animation still not amazing but i'm enjoying it nonetheless!!   hype for the next tryouts!! |
 |
| the animation is still far from good but i thought it was still better than last week's episode. shidou's goal and hiori's pass were especially, isagi's VA fuckin killed it during that scene. although they immediately added green aura and the animation ruined it, everything else is still solid. |

@FMmatron I thought the animation kinda upgraded from whatever last ep was but ig not lol. Last ep felt like a visual novel at times...
I don't think they'll show the Nagi and Reo game in its entirety but I'm looking forward to how that pans out as well. It's weird bcz I'm a manga reader and not remembering many things that happen in this arc just allows me to relive the hype again.

| @samsince04 I mean you can see the comments, whatever improvement there was, it ain't the saving the grace. Even if we get back to serviceable animation for the U-20 match, this season already took a heavy blow from which it may not recover. Anime fans are pretty unforgiving, lol. I honestly don't remember the upcoming matches at all either. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

How do animators (and just... staff in general, whoever watches it, but especially those actually supervising) look at an episode, see so many instances of flashback-replay-seconds-after-they-happen, and go "oh yeah that's good"?? Just. Genuinely curious at this point, I guess. Especially when so much of the episode is, indeed, a barely animated slideshow. Did too much of the BL money pool gp down the Blaze Battle drain or something, because if there's a franchise with seemingly infinite amount of funds, this would be it? I don't get it.
At least Hiori's kansai gets to be a saving grace, though I'm not so much into the translation trying to emulate things so forcibly.
Even additional time got a kick in the nuts - hilarious as it was in other aspects, did they really have to put in that "i'm not into dudes" line? Come on...

| @yellowheartren What's wrong with the last line? It's just a joke |
 |
| Some BL teasing for the additional time segment, of course there is. |
| i literally hating this anime ...can you imagine the highest selling manga of 2023 is getting such a bad adaptation of its one of the most hyped arc of the series....just fxxking still frame in every key moments.... |
| Only the flow state, Shidou's goal and the triangle between Isagi, Rin and Hiori were animated properly |
 |
| How come those 2 other players from the opponent's team didn't do shit? lol. I like Hiori man, hope he makes it to the team. |
| Got goosebumps watching this; Isagi Yoichi was on fire! 🔥🔥🔥 |
| Hiori the unsung hero |
 |
| He finally managed to hit a score. More awakening :) |

| Peak sports shonen scene right there, those 1-2 second cgi though |
 |
| Isagi looked like he was ice skating 😭 |
| Isagi discovers "the zone" but on steroids. Continuation of the match was genuinely entertaining to follow. Loved the combination plays between Isagi, Nanase and Hiori. But yeah, such a shame the animation is so awkward to look at. By the way, Shidou is kinda cool. |
| I can't believe they're butchering my boy like this I feel like everything I saw on this and last episode should have been more impactful than it was, but with all of it being mostly still pictures with glowy effects I couldn't bring myself to feel anything Might have to actually go and read the manga instead of watching this, but what a chore man If the next episode feels the same I might have to actually do it |
| somebody said png lock im crying kjhjhbjhb say it with me everyone! Girls are the best! Nin, nin... |
| They really couldn't help themselves and had to throw in a Gojo reference. |

You described Record Of Ragnarok Season 1.
At least they improved in the second season.
| @AmirKazeXD Oh god I almost forgot about that show. I still need to watch S2 so it’s nice to hear things improved. |
| 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. |
