I think it is all interpretation. I don't personally think it was their intention to show him as a coward but intention really doesn't matter in relation to what you actually see on the screen and how you view it.
When a person is accused of having no heart and then you change a scene like that statement can be taken in a different way now. If you can logically see how someone can reach that interpretation from the scenes shown, which I think you easily can, then that interpretation is thereby valid. You might not agree with it but it is still a valid interpretation. I hope we do actually revisit the ending in the next episode. It should help at least clear what actually happened because the ending wasn't as clear on the events leading up to and just before the accident than I would have liked it to be.

I don't see how anybody could reasonably say that he was anything like a coward because he didn't react fast enough. I think the changes helped make Suguru more heroic while it didn't change anything for Kakeru. |

Kakeru was shown to be the only one who was able to see and react to his brother passes but you would have us assume in your interpretation that Kakeru reflexes aren't "world-class" like his brothers. Now his ability to react to those passes isn't really seen as an accomplishment in lieu of more evidence that Kakeru is "just your average in-shape middle schooler". Your words and you can see how this event has already shaped a different image of Kakeru that you most likely would have had if it had been different.

Not sure why people didn't like the change of the accident from the manga. If anything, the vagueness of not actually showing the actual accident is yet another nod to Adachi's works. But that's just me being an Adachi fan... :Heh:

I think allien dude is obvious one, it's a girl. The allien showed up the moment she arrived.
Also I found accident scene weird... how come it is Suguru that is protecting Kakeru and not other way around. Suguru had his back facing the car while Kakeru had a perfect view and did nothing!

Well, the last scene helped convey that Suguru-mode does exist in Kakeru.
What I liked a lot is how Suguru told Kakeru that he didn't have the heart to play soccer and now, he has his heart. Makes his words a lot more meaningful and gives a lot of depth to the characters. |

I'm fairly neutral to most of the changes... I actually like the flashback a bit, actually.
Sure, the ending scene was a bit ridiculous, but I can live with that. But how dare they remove the Spoiler for manga:
I MAD. With that being said, I think we can expect this adaption to be slightly closer to how Eyeshield 21 was adapted, as in liberal changes all-around are made to the execution of scenes and additions, but it doesn't really alter much as a whole. I'd be happy with a proper adaption because that would actually capture the original approach and feel of the source material, but I guess this kind of changes are fine too since it'd make the watching experience a bit more original. I just hope the animation team knows restraint when it comes past the prologue.

Like I said, I'm okay with most of the changes since it definitely makes it a different experience compared to the manga.
