>Cerezo Osaka noticed his [shinjis] talent and signed him at the age of 17. He was the first player in Japan to sign a professional contract before graduating from high school
shame that both this and Battery have been pretty crappy
John Mitchell
Because it isn't the 80s anymore.
Jacob Cook
Why are they bad or better yet which shows are good?
William Lopez
both suffer from having no sports in it
Battery is rubbish drama driven by an insufferable MC
DAYS was just boring, again with a shit MC
i dont know if either of them got better after epsiode 5
Matthew Bennett
It isn't gay enough for the fujos.
Blake Smith
Battery MC is pretty shit but this guy is the gayest
Andrew Bailey
>4 people can't tackle one. Messi can barely get away with that shit Japan.
Alexander Cook
>messi
Alexander Hill
You young kids have no idea what good anime is.
Carter Wood
>MC is modeled after Müller
Liam Walker
Is he trying to hit himself in the head with his foot?
Grayson Perez
I enjoy this show, not bad so far.
But desu I won't be satisfied with a footy anime until they make as Season 2 of Giant Killing
Jonathan Thomas
Maybe, they are nothing alike however in playstyle.
Mizuki reminds me of a Zlatan because of his unreal athleticism
Connor Martin
Does Shinji even start back at Dortmund anymore?
What happened to Honda, while we're at it? Milan is a shit nowadays, but is he part of the problem?
Aaron Cruz
How's the actual football in the anime? Is it GK-tier or are they pulling physically impossible shit?
Matthew Morales
Besides a high schooler pulling off a bicycle kick its pretty tame.
Evan Richardson
Same here, I expected something retarded but got something similar to Yowamushi Pedal, Aka: "the quick storytelling makes up for the whiny brat."
Brayden Garcia
>high schoolers cant do bicycle kicks nigga wot
Camden Howard
I'm murrican, so that shit doesn't exist.
Wyatt Taylor
It does. In Rocket League.
Hudson Lee
Nope, Shinji got demoted. Honda also fell from grace, albeit he was beast in his prime.
Animation ain't so bad, you'll see most of the dribbles in real footy. Build-up play is almost non-exist though, probably to cut time.
Luke Russell
What is that supposed to mean? Are you amerilards just too shit at soccer to pull it off or what?
Kayden Ramirez
Why was he demoted?
Wyatt Flores
at least the pussy MC got some cajones and is actively trying to get better, not some passive powerlevel bullshit
Probably because of poor form, and that they had solid players in Mihkatryan, Reus, Pulisic, and Gundogan in the midfield.
I don't follow Dortmund that much, but whatever news I heard about them last season did not involve Shinji. Who knows this season though, he might get some chances again
Brody Perry
Wait, which MC are you refering to?
Jayden Flores
To the MC of days (Tsukushi?); he's actively trying to make himself a better player and is already a source of inspiration to a high school team
Other MC's get this passive/hidden power and it irks me that they're still pussies and kind of shit. (Boku no Hero's MC is the absolute worst, I honestly wish Bakugo would be MC)
Brayden Morgan
Oh yea, tsuku is kind of hard at work. I think the next episode will feature that snippet that was shown in ep1. Will he score a goal or will he fuck it up again?
Jose Mitchell
all modern shows are fujoshit pandering unfortunately. we'll never get anything like ippo or initial d.
Joshua Rodriguez
I'll believe in MC; he seems like the type of player who shines in big moments
Giant Killing was a great anime and wasn't fujoshit. But idk if you call 2010 modern
James King
>cajones He is developing some sick organizational skills
>Zlatan >unreal athleticism Zlatan is not that great mate. The only unreal thing about the big nosed prick is his ego.
I love football anime but this one not so much. I'm still going to watch it until the end hoping it gets better at some point.
Kagawa was great before transferring to united, he did not get enough playtime with the mancs and his skill level and sef-esteem went to shit after van gaal sent his arse back to dortmund
Carson Foster
Is kagawa the best soccer player japan ever exported?
Brandon Wright
>Zlatan is not that great mate. The only unreal thing about the big nosed prick is his ego. He might be a cocky fuck but 12 league titles with many different teams is nothing to scoff at
I think Keisuke Honda takes that title due to his 2010 WC performance.
It's a matter of perspective.
Hunter Sanchez
Japan's brave Okazaki Shinji
Alexander Bailey
>He is developing some sick organizational skills Kek. *Cojones
Henry Cooper
>another shinji that name sure is popular
Robert Peterson
Who /lifelong/ here?
Andrew Garcia
oh shit, he actually did it! the absolute madman!
Jacob Hernandez
>all modern shows are fujoshit pandering unfortunately It's not the show's fault if you can't recognise male friendships as just being friendships.
Logan Powell
What's the appeal of football?
Leo Nguyen
The only relative good player Japan has bought out is Nakamura.
It's kinda just supporting where you was born pretty much.
Hudson Morgan
>ever exported I don't think so. To be honest Japanese players never really made a great impact in european leagues but there are players like Hidetoshi Nakata and Shunsuke Nakamura who did really well in Serie A (Italian League), and by that I mean they achieved more than Kagawa.
Okazaki was amazing with Leicester last season but he's far from being Japan's GOAT.
You are not gonna get it, amerifriend.
Jeremiah Morris
>weebs in charge of understanding male bonding/comraderie You sad fat fucks probably never played a team sport in your life or you would know there is nothing gay about this
Caleb Murphy
>shitting on ibra kadabra
Shame on you
Aaron Reyes
>sports shows are gay >say the people who fap to fucking traps top kek
Adrian Collins
>Traps >Gay
Charles Taylor
Don't you fucking start. Everyone knows traps are gay. If you don't, you are a faggot in denial.
Joseph Richardson
I second this! I fucking second this to the third season! But yeah liking Days so far.
Grayson Hughes
Battery seems to be a drama using baseball while Days is trying to be about soccer but also showing the kid growing. In Battery the dude is already at max baseball stats.
Landon Brooks
Chicharito once kicked the ball towards goal but it went wide to Muller who was watching next to the goal. He fell and it was funny.
Anthony Morales
Soccer isn't very popular in America. I hear it's moving up and they are making soccer stadiums now. Back in the day they played in football fields. Naturally no one cares about high school or college soccer, if they happen to exist.
Carson Roberts
I don't know about that but I remember this weird goal though
i played team sports and it was gay but thats not what was wrong with it
Jaxson Jackson
>posting Yandere-chan
Christian Howard
You do know why they are called traps though, right?
Elijah Richardson
Thanks for that, user!
Colton Nguyen
Was it autism ?
Bentley Brooks
The show could use more cutting inside
David Gray
Because i would rather watch football anime, not shitty slideshow about running.
Colton Harris
Sup Forums doesn't like sports that much.
Leaving that asides, DAYS is not a sports show, it's about football but it has nothing about the sport there, the guy is running like a headless chicken.
To say an example, the goalie doesn't get introduced until after the first tournament, WHAT THE FUCK?:
Austin Cox
After the first episode I thought DAYS was going to be gayer than Battery but boy was I wrong.
Asher Gutierrez
le liga tier defense.
Samuel Cox
Well it is about Football he's just completely garbage at it and is only good for pumping the team up and chasing the ball down.
Luis Lewis
Is the homo king for sure, calling the MC princess all the time
Joshua Green
...
Aaron Green
>To say an example, the goalie doesn't get introduced until after the first tournament And it's not about him being garbage, it's the fact that they don't have any strategy, the football is poorly done. And no, running around doesn't pump anyone up nor does it contribute anything, it just makes you look like a retard.
Maybe you never played football but if you did then it's unbearable watching this shit. I can get behind superpowers and all that if that's the setting but this is trying to be somewhat realistic yet it has nothing about football, you could change the entire theme about him running 100 flat and the story would be the same, hell it would probably be better because he can actually inspire someone that way.
Eli Rodriguez
>mysterious figure cuts inside
Gabriel Morales
They're high schoolers user, You're expecting too much.
I even complained about the little shit getting past 4 defenders, Of course the actual matches but I never was expecting some well though strategy or tiki taka matches.
Hudson Evans
>They're high schoolers user, You're expecting too much. ? Have you seen Highschoolers play?
> but I never was expecting some well though strategy or tiki taka matches I'm not even asking tiki taka, I literally just told you twice that they hadn't even introduced the goalie(THE FUCKING GOALIE) until after the first tournament.
It's a fujo series with friendship themes and then some minor football stuff to keep a bunch of boys together.
Lucas Russell
>everything is fujoshit Except that 99% of all anime is generic weeb bait
Jackson Perry
The anime lacks a lot in the tactics department, I mean if you compare it to Giant Killing there's a jarring difference.
Cooper Jones
Watch Giant Killing, hell watch Area no Kishi. Fuck, watch Captain Tsubasa. All of them are different in what they set out to do, but all of them are clearly about football, DAYS is not.
Change of sports, watch Prince of Tennis and Baby Steps. Both are very different series but they're still about tennis.
DAYS is the equivalent of Free! well, not that gay but saying Free! is about swimming is a lie.
The goalie not being introduced isn't that important for me since no one cares about Goalies are all sure they play an important role in the match but people usually care about attacking players.
Give me a break, Going from Barcelona to Japan high schools is a fucking fine margin.
Japan rarely and I mean rarely produces top TOP talent so no you can't put these two together at all.
End of the day, DAYS is Football just very basic tomfoolery Football that isn't going into tactics and this and that but just go and win the game with Friendship which is still Football.
Baby Steps is literally friendship and hardwork which is what fucking DAYS is about and you just said that Baby Steps is still about tennis and DAYS is not.
Landon Torres
Check out the goal being prepared starting at 1:10, those kids don't joke around
Grayson Murphy
Shit they are good. I would have to foul them to stop them.
Wyatt Brown
Why do you guys even argue with Lelouch? There is no point in this, it is fucking Sisyphean labor.
Logan Thompson
>Baby Steps is literally friendship and hardwork
Have you ever read or seen Baby Steps at all? Have you seen how Maruo trains himself when he needs to improve a certain area of his game or the how he busts his brain before, during and after a match?
If by Friendship you mean everyone that's not good enough getting an early retirement then yeah it's friendship.
Hudson Lewis
Watched both seasons, Tsukamoto was training his shots on goal, So whats your point? They both train in weak areas.
He became friends with all different kinds of tennis players to learn styles weaknesses of his and his opponents.
Not sure what you're getting at here.
Nolan Wilson
Maruo trains his muscles, improves his way of playing and he also comes up with strategies before, during and after a match.
If you're saying DAYS and Baby Steps are the same then you're an idiot.
>Not sure what you're getting at here. You're retarded.
Christopher Gonzalez
>he has friends >that means it's the same
Fuck off Lelouch.
Jackson Brown
Yes Maruo goes the extra mile to improve himself no denying it.
And Tsukamoto is trying to improve himself as well, So again what is your point? You can just throw out more insults if you like.
Two MC's that recognize weakness and try to get better at it.
Jordan Gomez
Except tsu actually works pretty hard on improving himself. The show isn't even done yet and you probably didn't watch past episode 3.
>he has friends >that means it's the same That is not what he said you retard
Zachary Reyes
>baby steps is realistic >mixed matches
Nicholas Perez
Few of them these days are any good, and it's usually the fighting shows
The drama tends to be the usual bullshit and you can just enjoy the actual sport
David Ward
One of the fucking opponents cared more about painting a picture on the court than actually winning a tennis match.
Anthony Hernandez
It was one guy though, and he literally retired after that match.
If I remember correctly the author was forced to draw that.
Joseph Johnson
>And Tsukamoto is trying to improve himself as well
>No strategy >runs like a retard >"inspires" people by running like a retard >somehow that works in matches
vs >Strategy >Training routines >Learning from practice matches >Travelling across the globe to git gud
>Two MC's that recognize weakness and try to get better at it. Even Natsu from fairy tail trains, you're saying Natsu is the same as every other character that trains.
Stop being a retard Lelouch, kill yourself.
Angel Stewart
>Purposefully skips where I said Tsukamoto is training his shots on goal.
>Also ignores where I said Maruo goes the extra mile to improve himself.
It's okay user, You just wanted to get your "Kill yourself Lelouch" post out, I'm use to it.
Aaron Murphy
>Training to kick the fucking ball
Kill yourself tripfag.
Tyler Wood
Yeah why would anyone train free kicks or corners.
Fucking idiot Footballers.
Jayden Butler
>ctrl + f >no Kuroko no BASUKE
How does this compare to that masterpiece?
Brody Roberts
...
Nathan Collins
im pretty thirsty about good soccer anime, what's your favorite soccer show (obv after capitan tsubasa)?
Jackson Diaz
>Baby steps is seriously getting compared to Days
I hate you fucking faggots so much you have no eye for quality all you do is shovel garbage into your fucking degenerate mouths.
Noah Lopez
Kuroko no Basuke is much better than it. Everyone who calls KnB a fujoshit show has not seen true fujotrash like Days
Owen Torres
>Everyone who calls KnB a fujoshit show
People seriously call it that? There may have been some dumb moments in the first episodes but it's hardly "fujo"
