DAYS' first episode

Well, Im going to give a chance to this.

>>143594559
This.

>>143594324
Is the manga any good?

>>143594324
Isnt this fujoshit though?

>>143594324
Shame it's really really bad, it's like the author wanted to draw a fujobait series about friendship and stapled football on top of it just to have an excuse.

The main character is shit and the whole thing about him "running" and eventually winning stuff because of that is retarded as shit.

Even Kuroko no Basket was more realistic than this and the guys could go hand to hand against Goku.

The manga is actually good, it actually won as the best shounen in the recent Kodansha awards.

It also isnt fujoshit, at all. Dont believe the retards who said that.

>>143594324
Probably wont be as good as Haikyuu

It'll look like shit and be badly animated because MAPPA has bigger fish to fry.
Just making sure everyone has their expectations checked.

I think I'll watch this.

>>143594324
It starts in 15 minutes, where is the stream?

What part of Seiseki are you guys from?

>>143595200
It isn't fujoshit, but it is shit. No play-by-play explanation of what's going on in the match, just montages of "people playing soccer" with some guy inner monologuing about how the protag runing around like a headless chicken is inspiring the team to give their best.
Every match until the Sakuragi one is like this.
Shit, just the fact they hadn't introduced the fucking goalie until after the first tournament ended shows how little focus there is on soccer.

>>143594709
Well, that depends. It's not bad but also not very good. It does some thing nice but suffers from some bad stuff. I don't really like it much. But the anime looks decent. The staff said that they want to focus on dynamic play so if they manage to pull that of it could be fun to watch. The shame is about Nakazawa. He can do much better charadesigns than this, although recent materials show that it won't be so bad as it seemed from first promotional materials. Too bad that he won't be doing Chief AD. He'll most likely be featured only in first episode where he could do some KA and possibly AD. But now he's too busy on his Perfect Bones so we cannot really expect him to be putting a lot of time into DAYS. Shame.

>>143595427
If it's not on neetball, they there probably isn't one.

Welp, it seems that we will have to waitforthe raws to come out. Also, I think CR got this, so there is that.

Livechart fucked up it seems, airs in ~20 minutes.

I watch all football anime.

Let's see this one.

>>143595786

>Shit, just the fact they hadn't introduced the fucking goalie until after the first tournament ended

That's ridiculous.

Is there any good recent football (soccer, let's not start this shit) anime or manga?

>>143594324
Time to get triggered every time someone says soccer

>watching sports anime of sports you actually like

Not even once.

Hope they don't give me shit like nippon being the world's best or something when the only nip players I know are Okazaki and Kagawa

Long as no super powers shit I'll give it a try.

I need more sports anime in my life.

No Hosoya in a sports anime ;_;

>>143597362
He's going to be in All Out this Fall.

It started.

The animation is good as expected from MAPPA.

>>143597623
Thanks m8.

>>143597205
He doesn't know Honda-sama

>>143597421
Perfect.

Is looking good so far. The MC is a pussie tho.

Not as bad as I expected

This is my only problem with it so far.

I see alot of cuties in this, Im in.

There's less to fuck up by virtue of being character driven rather than plot driven. That's not to say they're all 10/10 naturally but I generally enjoy the genre.

Come on that would fucking hurt really bad, The only thing I disliked.

I enjoyed it though, I'm a sucker for pussies MC's being developed into a strong one through hard work.

He'll tie it up and it'll be a power boost.

Well, that was generic and boring. I also hate MC which only character trait is that he is a pussy. I assume his special power is run forest run.

Does he not feel pain? I understand the MC needs to have resolve, but all he's doing is destroying himself.

He's like Ei-chan but with twice the autism.

I was thinking about watching that, is it shit?

Football matches never ever look good in anime but I'll give this a chance. MC looks like a little bitch too.

Not a bad start overall, but I feel it a little rush. The end should have been when he gets rejected from the club.

Also, the long haired guy remind me of Ohta from Tanaka ;_;

I'm a huge footballfag so obviously I'll watch this
But, mangafags, spoil me pls

Cute mum.

>>143607887
I didn't like it. It felt cheap as fuck, the production values were low overall, the pacing made it boring, it was mostly fucking bland as fuck, aside from animation which was horrid.
The only good thing i can remember is that the feMC was kinda cute and that's it, but most /sp/ show have them like this now, so it is nothing to write about.
It also didn't help that anime was going out of its way to not show you how they play football, but instead wanted to you watch some shitty drama about searching yourself and coping with death of a sibling, whose death helped you stay alive.
Overall it was bad, just watch Giants Killing.

I gave it a chance but I can't watch this to be honest lads. That montage of him being shit was just too much and I don't want to watch anymore. Might come back if it picks up though.
The wait for a good football anime goes on.

Korea-Japan 2002 was a long time ago, I guess the fad must have died.

>>143608453
What's the problem with the protag with the protag being bad at football on the first episode?
I mean, he keeps on being shit at it forever, but that's a shitty complaint to make at this point.

>>143597906
At least he isn't a crybaby like Deku from Boku no Hero.

>>143608935
I'm a football fan so I don't like watching bad football. I don't have the patience to watch him playing shit while waiting for him to turn into a good player. Him running the wrong way and getting hit in the face with the ball isn't funny or endearing to me and he's too much off a faggot for me to support him or want to support him.
It's bad enough that actual football doesn't look good in anime. The players not enough knowing how to play just makes it worse and even less enjoyable to watch.
I can understand if you think it's a shitty complaint though. I hope you enjoy the anime.

>>143609244
>endearing to me and he's too much off a faggot for me to support him or want to support him.

I'm hoping that the rest of the players act like this towards him. It's a bit silly to think that people who are serious about football would be cool with some shitter on the team.

If everyone starts acting like the blonde dude it's getting dropped for me.

>>143608592
Is this a Tanaka-Otah kind of relationship?

If so picked up.

I so want to give this a chance, but this looks just bad.

I mean just the animation looks bad, I get it they want to avoid the "MC is an unpolished diamond" but even I play soccer better.

Hell I just started rewatching Captain Tsubasa (80's Anime) and even that was more exciting than this

Why don't they just make Giant Killing S2?

>>143609342
You can already see how they are going to treat him just by looking at the opening.

The tsundere just shits on him every time she cans. She is still best girl though.

>>143608453
>The wait for a good football anime goes on.
This is barely about football.

In fact it's about the MC RUNNING and inspiring people, no he doesn't run in specific directions to fuck the defense up or anything, he just RUNS from one side to another of the pitch.

It's fucking awful.

watch Giant Killing instead, Area no Kishi maybe if you like less realistic stuff.

This is futsal, not football.

>>143609678
Football is played in a much bigger area and play is a lot slower in comparison to volleyball or basketball. It'll always be hard to make it look good.

I bet most people don't even realize that Fantasista had a sequel, and that sequel had 3 OVAs.

Days was smart to keep the fan service, but nothing will ever top Giant Killing as that series managed to overtake Whistle! even in Japan I think.

>>143609812
Read the mango friend. It's a natural progression.

Stamina is the only thing he has in the first arc understandably since he's new to football.

Later on the coach zeroes on his personality and puts him in an important role in the team.

It's already selling well. The only other sports series to sell better consistently is Haikyuu right now. Diamond no Ace can't touch it.

>>143609979
So he's the opposite of Kubota trying to be Kubota?

>>143609990
You would need to convince someone to give a huge budget to a studio first, before deciding which series to use it for.

>>143609918
I've read the manga which is why I know he only runs around like fucking retard and that somehow helps the team.

This shit is not about football, it's about friendship or some garbage, like some anon said they don't even introduce the keeper until after the tournament

>>143609499
Did that ever get out of scanlation hell?

I read the manga and caught up to it before the anime even existed but then eventually had to give up because no updates.

>>143609979
Makes sense. Would be boring to watch a game focused on him though.

How sad is this series going to get? I want a happy and exciting show to finish off the week with, so I don't go into Mondays feeling bitter. I think this is the one.

You're not fooling anyone fujoshi.

>>143610115
This is like Oofuri but Soccer instead of baseball

The difference is the MC has no experience whatsoever and doesn't have the typical competitive personality you need for sports.

>>143610139
Really not that unique or specific. Loads of teams that play with two strikers use one in that role. Leicester just won the league with Okazaki playing like that.
It's actually the least interesting and fun position too.

>>143610151
Noice, time to reread from the start. I only remember the the basic plotline.

Baby Steps is extremely good and better than Haikyuu imo.

Just stay the fuck away from the threads, the anime is seriously hype as hell with a great soundtrack and animation.

You want to know why Haikyuu is bad?

Because of the same reason as 90% of sports manga it makes the characters into sports machines, they don't have lifes outside playing the sport, the outside world doesn't influence them, they don't develop as characters outside of playing the sport and that just makes them plain as all fuck.

Top that with the fact that Volleyball is for faggots and that the series is aimed at fujoshi and you have WHY Haikyuu is bad.

But the whole plot is about the character and his passion for x sport.

I don't see why the viewers want to see the MC do some shit that isn't related to sports like going to the shops or whatever.

If that's your reasoning for why Haikyuu and other sport shows sucks I dread to question what you think of other genres.

>>143610230
Oofuri is full of realistic, detailed baseball strategy and sports psychology. This looks like it's gonna be another shallow portrayal where the sport is an excuse for shounen 'hype' moments.

>>143610584
Haikyuu is just Slam Dunk lite.

The difference is that Slam Dunk has better characterization and more backstory with the characters.

However, If you want more development then read Inoue's other work Real which is about wheelchair basketball.

And if you want something else more character driven read Adachi's baseball mangas.

>Imma ignore his entire post because 1 sentence

Retard you're not even trying here.

Try to deny what I said, try to correct me when I say that the characters DON'T EXIST outside of playing x sport, try it but you won't be able to because you know it's true.

They're not real characters, they don't act like people, hell they're barely people. The only thing we see about them is volleyball volleyball and volleyball.

Sure it's a sports manga but that doesn't excuse having 1 dimensional characters, Volg from Hajime no Ippo has more going on than the entire cast of Haikyuu.

Now fuck off

Is this at least Haikyuu level gay?

How irrelevant are the girls?

>>143610584

Haikyuu isn't fujoshi, stuff like Prince of Tennis is.

Oofuri is also fujo but beautiful fujo and the amazing baseball makes up for it anyway.

>>143610769
This.

Anyone who enjoys Haikyuu owes it to themselves to read or watch Slam Dunk.

My boners for sports animu forces me to continue watching this for a while. It's not the glorious Sports Sunday with DnA, Baby Steps and Haikyuu from a few seasons ago but it's better than the nothing from last season I guess.
Hoping for GK S2 during the next World Cup. please

>>143610533
Not the same anon but it's legitimately good sports anime with a really nice romance on the side. The only problem I have is that the first season's art and animation is a bit subpar but improves quite a bit in the second season.

>>143610738
>I don't see why the viewers want to see the MC do some shit that isn't related to sports like going to the shops or whatever.

Because characters are supposed to be people too, you don't need to make entire arcs about them going shopping but you need to show the reader that these characters actually EXIST in the world they're in, you need to show that things from the outside have influence in them and then you need to kick ass when they're actually playing the sport they like.

Haikyuu and majority of sports manga fail to do that.

>b-b-but why do you care about what they do outside of volleyball

Because why would I care about a fucking robot winning a game when he doesn't have a fucking personality? Kill yourself Lelouch

Tell that to Rukawa. And I don't even like Haikyuu.

>>143610584
> the series is aimed at fujoshi
Please try to actually articulate how it's noticeably aimed at fujos and if so, why that is bad. If you actually took a second to think about it instead of blindly hating things because girls like the idea of the male characters fucking, you'd notice that at absolute worst we see their legs in shorts, and they have close male friendships. That's literally it for the 'pandering' and in no way affects the quality of the show.

I don't even particularly like Haiykuu. It suffers from boring, never ending matches that drag like every other long running sports series.

>>143610584
>they don't have lifes outside playing the sport

Huh. I never noticed this but now that you mention it, you're right.

Sakuragi has a fleshed out one
Mitsui, Akagi and Kogure too.
Even coach Anzai has one.
And so does most of the opponents too.

Rukawa though doesn't have one but the dynamics with him and Sakuragi, their rivalry and that climax at the end where he trusts him to take the winning shot is rewarding.

>>143611050
It is, the character designs and archetypes, the fanservice and the scene compositions are specifically targeted to be appealing to fujos.

The action may be good and it may be borrowing from the formula Slam Dunk made popular but it is undeniable that it is a fujo show.

>>143611294
But it really isn't. I don't understand how people like you are so delusional about it.

>>143611252

Half the cast is written in a way only a child would truly like them.

And how does that make it bad? Fanservice for girls is so fucking low key and innocuous compared to regular fanservice, don't tell me you're bothered by occasional tummy or legs when other series have panty shots and heaving tits all over the place. The characters are only as archetypal as 99% of anime, they'd be the same no matter which gender they were aimed at.

>>143611400

I myself watch Haikyuu and enjoyed Yowapeda, K and other fujoshit shows.

>>143611508

>>143611508

Let's just call a spade a spade.

>>143611509
I know there's nothing wrong with liking fujoshit, but when it comes to Haikyuu the source material isn't fujoshit at all. All of the homo stuff comes from fans.

>>143610230

I really prefer Mihashi who has actual mental issues that need professional help rather than a complete bitch like this MC.

I hope he gets better as the series goes on since it's my biggest complaints.

Speaking of Mishahi, isn't it weird that his personality is used as comic relief and his parents and friends don't care much? The guy is really crippled by anxiety to the point of paranoia.

>>143611008

Stop being retarded, just because it's a sports manga doesn't mean the characters need to be 1 dimensional little shits with the only redeeming quality of liking Volleyball.

>>143611491
You are absolutely correct. The female volleyball club is full of qts too but we'll never be allowed to have an anime about cute tomboys playing volleyball so they'll never be relevant.

>>143610584
I have to agree. Haikyuu started out with a lot of promise, but the character development is awful. The main character will never truly progress because he ALWAYS has to be the underdog. Other relevant characters have remain more or less the same to maintain the status quo.

None of the characters have a life outside the volleyball club. The most we get a chapter where they failed a test and couldn't go to practice camp but the rest of the high school experience is non-existent. It makes sense that the sport is the main focus, but athletes have other stuff going on and other stuff that effects them.

I just can't understand why people praise haikyuu character development when there are so many overlapping characters and the character development is static for the most part.

>>143612206

She was more relevant than the other manager and quickly became a good friend of Hinata. It's just difficult to do anything with her character since 99% of haikyuu is on the volleyball court.

>>143612952
His mom

By that definition almost all sports anime are fujo.

Fujos are way more into sports anime than actual BL stuff. If you ever look into doujin or fanart of any sports anime it's obvious.

>>143616205
I would agree that all sports anime are made fujo. Excluding older ones, where there's less because I would suppose the art style is not as appealing.

Search any title and you'll find at least 50 doujins: http://myreadingmanga.info/

>>143616496

That's because BL is creepy, I'm not sure why but it's always about rape or weird stuff that feels unnatural.

This was pretty gay. But I'll give it a chance.

>>143616939
>Look at me, I've seen Boku no Pico and seen a couple of Harada works refrenced so now I can talk about all BL!

In all honestly, some is creepy but most isn't that bad. The tropes are annoying, but any genre has tropes so it is kind of difficult to complain about that. But there is a definite appeal in a bunch of sweaty guys who are so called friends. Ambiguity is definitely a big factor too.
