ANBU-Umai - Episode 08



--------------------------

While Gino may find Tsubaki's simple-mindedness cute, his insecurity actually annoys me a little - explainable since he's noob, but still. Kuro's mindset, on the other hand, fits the "cute" description. He's stubborn as hell, but his character is rather infective (largely due to how LOUD he is). Tatsumi made a good choice bring him around first (besides Koshi) before moving onto the rest of the less mood-influencing players (besides the "defence comes first" reason).

With that, Crunchyroll sweeps yet another show under their banner.

you are absolutely right about Tsubaki, you would figure that he'd have his character development turn around by this point, or at least he'd be punished for not doing so well.

HorribleSubs - Episode 10

Decided to give them a try this week because I was itching to see it

--------------------------------










Pacing was great. Dori made some good saves, but Sugie and Kuroda played well. Kuro's pass-reading scene made him shine plenty. His precise timing is almost at odds with his fiery personality.

Pepe's arrogance is a tad annoying, but he was surprisingly funny to watch. He's pretty much just a kid who doesn't talk, and lets all his emotions show on his face. The offside was great.

Yes.. I've found out the hard way.

Guess I'll try my lick with these then:

Seems like they might be portraying Tsubaki as having a developing sense of field positioning. Combined with his fast and tireless legs, he'd make one awesome wing.

"Guess they noticed"? If there was a weakness in Tatsumi's play, it would be as he said before that they're purposely creating that opening where Itagaki is, and relying on Kuroda/Tsubaki to save them when it happens - so putting a different man on instead of Itagaki should upset that balance a bit.

They've got Tsubaki running around free-reign at the moment, so I wonder who's supposed to be onto him.

Poor Buffa all alone in this thread. Anyway i keeping up with the series and i really like how it keeps you guessing if ETU will win or not and how it manages it's characters giving them development on the field.

Sera's last run today was pretty tense. I'm not that attracted to his character, but I suppose they'll need stuff like this to give each player some exposure since ETU isn't a star-studded team to begin with.

My favourite parts in this series were always about Tatsumi's deep analysis and having his plans revealed though, so these last couple of eps have been a little dull by comparison.

HorribleSubs did worse than usual today. There was a know/now mix-up, and on at least 2 occasions they translated something "positively" when it was meant to be "negative"

eg: during the corner kick, Sera was meant to say "he knows he CAN'T win with his height, so will charge in with speed" or something or rather.

Oh, what on earth is going through that head of yours Tatsumi? Everybody's excited that ETU is going strong, and here you are moping around with that gloomy face of yours. What's wrong with you?

^ That might be what everybody else in the show thinks, but I'm with Tatsumi on this one. Natsu is their best forward, one who's probably a class above the rest. The idea that having him around would boost performance is a no-brainer. But exactly what he did there was put his team into a sense of false security. What if he injures himself again? What if their midfield is totally locked down and can't get the ball to him?

Natsu is one valuable asset, but having him around before the team matures will be like that previous match where Carlos was too central to the team and caused it to fall apart.

It would be great to have him play, and he's a fun to watch to watch, but having the team drop their guard at the same time is a very bad spill-over effect.

They need to make these forwards a bit more special. It's a tad boring to watch when they go on about improving, but we're left in the dark about exactly what they're good at or what they need to work on.

I'm LOVING this atmosphere!

It's tense as hell, but seemed to drag on forever. Just like the start of a match should be.

[The1LittleMchale]

I'm still here watching with you too Buffa... I'm just lurking to get my soccer fix though.

[MFauli]

Im really excited about how this match is going to end. Hope, ETU wins, but this show seems to avoid typical scenes, so a defeat is possible, too.

Great episode. I wonder what they´ll do about their defense. Offense seems okay, but they just cant get a chance to attack.

And boy, this ep flew by, almost as bad as a HotD-episode
