Lol that was kinda amusing except for the part where Kagami gets his ass tackled on the field. Where the hell is his uniform??

Kinda funny how Seijuurou is part of the girls' team though. And going by the match, his team isn't doing well at first. I actually thought the match itself was somewhat decent as it emphasized some of the shots at the goals and momentum.

It doesn't surprise me that Seijuurou used what he learned from playing the soccer video game though.

Well I wasn't expecting Seijuro's team to actually win, but looking back it seems kinda obvious. I'm not sure I really liked how it played out though. Junichirou's plans always ultimately ending with him getting what he wants, as they have and likely will continue to do, kills any tension or sense of surprise. I wouldn't mind this if I liked his character but he mostly comes across as smug so I don't...not yet anyway. Guess Seijuro's given up on Kanou, too bad.

Ugh... this is not what I expected (nor wanted) from this show. I feel like each new episode, I think to myself: "It can't get much worse..." but I mus by jinxing myself because it always does.

I really loved the first episode too....

Despite the animation playing catch with Nanami's poor nose between frames and the ridiculous concept of the soccer game being used to "teach a lesson", this episode did its job. The main character is still a pain, but I quite like the catchy OP/ED now.

I say this every week but... That's just about the stupidest thing I've seen.

I know you'll think I'm just a feminist but like... really??? The poor little girl team is absolutely powerless in front of the almighty boy team UNLESS they have a man to goal for them? I won't say girls don't have a disadvantage, physically speaking, but seriously? They couldn't even score one point by themselves? That's ridiculous. Especially at high school level I doubt the gap between genders would be that big. Realistic or not, it angered me P:

Also, if Nanami's soooo incredibly fast and powerful, he wouldn't need to imitate the tactics of the game to win this. He'd already have a huge advantage, even though his technique isn't as good as the others'.

I don't think I have to mention the match's animation was horrendous. The ball was just kind of moving here and there in a choppy fashion, the characters were blobby, not to mention Nanami's face is a constant mess. Does he have a backstory of being horribly disfigured and losing his nose or something? What blind person approved of his character design?

I know... "if you dont liek it stop watching it", right? But I can't get around how insultingly cheap this production is! I thought when a company made an anime they at least tried to make something decent with whatever budget they have, but really this poor series is getting zero care, and that's just sad.

I actually got used to the sisters voice, but Oh my, dat animation.

I usually don't care about animation or character design, I prefer good story or comedy... But this really bugs me, which happens very rarely, and keeps me from enjoying the anime in the least bit.

Probably not going to finish this anime any more, the story has gotten so dull... And again, an episode about some girl with voice problems? Geez.

Funimation's subs betrayed the fact that Americans don't know anything about football lol. It just wasn't very well worded in context to the sport at all.

This show's animation seems to get worse every episode, but I'm not sure how. This is the worst animation I've ever seen, and that's really saying something. The necks on water bottles aren't even centred. The plot's flimsy too and Kagami's still an awful character that I want to see get the shit kicked out of him.

As many are saying, animation quality continues to get worse by each episode which totally kills the enjoyment this show has to offer. Quite disappointing since I had good expectation for this before it started airing.

Nanami winning the game was very much predictable, as everything always seems to go the way Kagami wants. I really want to see him lose once/twice though.

Below average episode. Cute girl arc next week, so can I at least expect a bit better animation? Probably asking too much from A-1 here.

Did they say the female team was the next up and coming team?
If not, how is it that you apparently assume they are (or at least, should have been)?
Maybe it is "They're a female team so they must be the ultimate team, regardless of abilities..because they're females!" logic?

It would make sense if Kagami gave the absolutely weakest team to the cyborg in that scenario.
They didn't need a random boy/man, they needed the "cyborg".

Every day many teams worldwide fail to score a single goal in a game, regardless of gender.

Btw, in the (translated) manga Kagami didn't say "stay as you are", he said "You just
have to be yourself, and that will be enough". No idea which one is correct, but there
are siginficant differences between those sentences.

Did they forget the rules of soccer? When you score, the other team gets possession. You can't just go on a 6-0 run like that without giving the ball to the other team.

As if this show has anything to do with reality. Remember that the main character is somehow able to have a video get like 10 millions globally within 90 seconds of posting a livestream to YouTube or BS like that.

I really liked this show when it started, but the longer it lasts, the more I dislike it. The MC is a smug idiot and always succeeds with his plans regardless of circumstances, there is no real overall plot development, and the animation, oh dear lord the animation. At this point the only thing I still really like about the show is the ED.

Hey, maybe if they animated the whole show chibi-style the overall animation quality would actually improve.

I i am not mistaken that tactic is agains't the rules, it's off side or how it's called.
Someone with actual knowledge about football might be able to explain.

Yeah, the offside rule states that two players from the opposing team must be between you and the goal. These are usually the goalkeeper and a defender. Seijuurou was even passing the goalie every time to score so it was definitely breaking the rules but Kagami got a referee that didn't know the rules in the first place probably for that very reason. The offside rule is also stereotypically called "too hard for women to understand" which is, of course, sexist bullshit, but it wouldn't surprise me if Kagami was opting for that being true with a female referee and female players as well.

Don't listen to people when they tell you that the anime that you want to see doesn't exist, and to quit asking, and quit searching. I found my dream anime, and yours could be out there too. Speaking of which, watch Record Of Grancrest War, you're missing out.

First, it’s from when the ball is passed, second, the player also would have to be ahead of the ball. So it would only be off-side if he was behind the second last defender at the time the pass was initiated. And once you have the ball in front of you, it’s not relevant at all. So, as stupid as the episode was, and as stupid as the game was, being off-side wasn’t one of the problems.

But remember, their ‘fight’ had no rules, so it’s doubly not relevant.

Cyborg went all Tauros mode lol. Rammed the team straight to the depths of demise.

What I didn't like was how the girls team pretty much scored, still kept possession of the ball and scored again. Second, Cyborg should have been red carded multiple times, one for literally punching Kagami from behind, another foul on Kagami where he falls face first, ramming the entire boys team in the final goal. So one sided game.

90% or even more of the episode discussion consists of weekly animation rant and how bad they think the show is. Lmao MAL never fails me. I got bored halfway reading the comments. You would think that after 6 weeks which is approximately 1.5 month, they would shut up about the animation. Apparently not, they are expecting this to get better all of the sudden. Good lawd.

Anyway, this is the arc that got me really interested in Denpa Kyoushi when I was reading the manga, and the anime just did the same for me. The main reason I suppose, is "Face Punch", I really like her and I hope that she gets to appear more later on.

I'm more fascinated by how they're possibly going to hold the budget together for 18 more episodes than the show itself. Holy smokes, the character designs and soccer game were just...I'll admit this episode didn't make me cringe to the fullest though, it was more bearable and alleviates DK's chances of being dropped for another 24 minutes.
