I hope you don't hurt your eyes too much, straining them like that. We wouldn't want you to go blind, now would we? Then you couldn't make any more facetious remarks on these forums (unless, of course, you used some of that slick software out there for the visually handi-capped). |

Shit, episode 17 was godly. The way Ginga e Kickoff does character drama is just great. That was nearly on the same level as episode 14. Honestly, this show often throws out stuff so much better than a lot of the other anime airing these days that it just blows me away. I almost have to laugh when I think about how many other viewers are missing this.
And of course, episode 18 was blood-pumping as well. I am hyped as hell for the matches coming up. Somehow, for a soccer anime, these latest episodes managed to jam in a lot more content than I would generally expect out of a mere 24 minutes. |

The delta between how great this show is and how little attention it gets in the English-speaking fandom is really huge. Episode 17 was really fantastic. Best anime about kids and sports since S1 of Major.

Well, Kuroko is certainly drawing a lot more attention (more so in Japan, of course) and it's nowhere near the show Ginga is. Of course fujoshi are a huge part of its demo (as it is for most sports shounen, including this one) both East and West.

18: How timely that Shou was finally rewarded for doing all the grunt work on and off the field to make the Predators a success. And totally fitting that it was Ouzou who took it on himself to make it happen - he's the sharpest and most mature of the Furuyas easily.

I've really liked this series. I agree with some comments that this one is far better than "Area no Kishi", and also think that is really weird that is not being subbed as fast as other series that are not as good as this one. Anyway, I even watch the raw of the chapters before they are released with subs because I like it that much.
And I think is time they really show Shou's skills. Thank you. |

I was hooked after the first episode. It's a shame that this is not more popular in the english community.

It’s a measure of how invested I’ve become in the characters here that when they show signs of real growth, I sometimes feel as proud of them as if they were my own kids (not that I know what that feels like, of course, but I can imagine).
