    Days

    80690l.jpg

    DAYS is about two boys named Tsukushi and Jin. Tsukushi is a boy with no special talent or traits while Jin is considered a soccer genius. On one stormy night, Jin meets Tsukushi, and they get dragged into the world of soccer.

    4 Episodes in and we finally have a manager. I like her, and I like this show so far despite the weakling protagonist.

    I haven't watched the latest, but I'm following the series. I enjoyed the first 2 episodes, it had charm and some funny moments. I really disliked the 3rd episode... too much "he makes me remember playing soccer is supposed to be fun" shtick with some shitty flashbacks.

    Will watch episode 4 tonight to see this new manager, I assume it's the girl who was in the classroom making commentaries when they introduced the transfer students. If so, yeah, a good choice of character to have around.

    As an aside, any of you watching Cheer Boys? I gave it a chance, something different within the usual sports-anime themes. I guess it's alright as a palate cleanser. Though I think the premise is completely gay, I mean, who'd get excited forming an all-boys cheer group? Are they dumb or what?

    I'm actually enjoying this. This is the first sports anime I am watching since Major ended. For me, this Soccer anime feels similar to Major. Hopefully it lasts as long as Major.

    How can you compare the heroes though? One is a genius badass, the other is a loser.

    Just watched episode 4, and definitely my favorite episode of the series so far. More Ubukata please, and wonder where's the childhood friend. Don't think we've seen her since the first or second episode.

    I do like this anime, BUT Tsukushi is overly whiney/girlish. Seriously, itīs kind of annoying. Thereīs being humble and then thereīs this.

    I had the same issue with Boku no Hero Academia. Why do they overdo it when making weak protagonists?

    No clue. Probably to make it easier to show "how much they've grown" in the end. But you have to deal with the tediousness for a long time.

    Or maybe they figure the otaku demographic are THIS weak, so let's give them something shitty they can relate to.

    Who knows, it's dumb.

    It's just unreal how they cry all the time at the slightest (if any) provocation. It's like they have a mental illness.

    I agree about the MC. Its BS what they try to sell. If they made the MC a bit of a psycho, a pussy in daily life but a rage boiler inside that vents out playing, like kicking mad and tackling to the head and so, it could make some sense but this is just ridiculous.

    Anyway unless it goes downhill its a passable show.

    Here's episode 5:

    Another solid episode drama-wise and emotions wise. Of course, after you wipe your brain off all the crying.

    If my count is correct: 2 times of full-on crying, 1 time of being whiny.

    As for the draft, I hope we get to see more of the other team mates. Kazahara seemed like a really good, dependable player, so Iīd expect that those 13 (minus the 2 heroes and the goalie) other players are reeeeeally good.

    I thought this episode packed quite a bit of content, final scene was funny.

    Iīm starting to really hate Tsukamotoīs whiny behavior. Thereīs several scenes where he even puts his hands together in front of his crotch area and looks at another character with tears in his eyes, like som clichee "weak, innocent girl". Ffs. Itīs so annoying.

    Also, WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK: "It looks like I need to learn how to receive passes to play football." Whatīs next episode, he realizes that he needs to shoot passes to play football? :/

    What I find so weird is how so many people see potential in the crybaby. It doesn't make sense.
