After this 3rd episode, I have a better handle on the concept behind this show. The comedy is decent enough that this is a keeper for me this season.

So far, with each episode, they seem to be slowly peeling off layer-by-layer of this large onion of a germaphobe called Aoyama.

Honestly you cannot take this show seriously and over analysing it. I am always the opinion that in comedy and in love everything is allowed, there are no boundaries.

My point was that his is a guy who wouldn't be able to touch Kana, at least not until she'd washed, several times. Also, the show DOES take his phobia relatively seriously, talking from the beginning about how big of a handicap it is and how much more amazing his performance is when one considers just how dirty a sport soccer is and he still plays because he loves it. I'd say it'd fit fairly well to say that he's able to last the last five minutes not because he views it as crunch time but because that's as far as he's able to stretch without desperately needing a shower.

well past the 3 chapters, I'll keep going but I won't expect more than just that bad comedy and some soccer.

An intresting episode this week, story told from a different perspective/person and almost no football, except for the iron ball, in this week's episode.
This episode is kind of interesting, because we haven't/never seen Aoyama own thoughts. By using another character with similar condition, not the same, to describe their circumstances is a neat idea.

The narrative style of the series is really brilliant. You got Aoyama as the main character in the show, but most of the time he isn't the active MC in the episodes.
This week's episode was funny, it kind of shows one, that you cannot control how people see your work. Long lives the Blue Wizard !

Lol, Ryotaro Okiayu sounds like he had a lot of fun voicing Blue Wizard XD

Tenzen12 · 2017-08-06, 15:20

Why exactly Aoyamas ED is recycled one from Sora no Otoshimono? Is it even legal? Not that I mind, but I really wonder how that happened.

Guardian Enzo · 2017-08-06, 17:54

That's a famous Japanese pop song from the 70's. Keppeki didn't "steal" it any more than Sora no Otoshimono did. In fact, thematically it makes even more sense here.

Tenzen12 · 2017-08-07, 00:40

Make sense, thanks.

Guardian Enzo · 2017-08-07, 01:06

Digging into it, looks like 1972. I believe this is the original group who had a hit with it (though a later recording, obviously:

thundrakkon · 2017-08-13, 18:21

I bet it's because Mio has a clean heart and is so pure. It's funny, since it might mean that she is literally the only one he can ever get married with.

Roxanne · 2017-08-20, 16:51

I hope Aoyama will understan Moka's feelings because she does do everthing for him

also, in manga Aoyama touched Moka

thundrakkon · 2017-08-20, 17:25

I can definitely see the pairings now. Umeya was introduced in order to pair up with Gotou, since Odagiri seems destined with Aoyama. Aoyama has no interest in any girls, but at least he is alright with Aoyama touching him and cooking for him.

moridin84 · 2017-08-22, 08:22

Just caught up on the last two episodes.

Maaan, how can Odagiri be so good??

Diluc · 2017-08-28, 04:19

This Yurippe girl is so annoying don't she ever considerate of her boyfriend feeling?
that dumb captain should dump her already there are many pretty good looking girls in school to replace that biatch.

There is only one main reason why Aoyama should end up with Odagiri.
She is the only girl that treats him normally and doesn't worship him like every freaking girl in the series.

I agree. Doesn't matter how much he loves her, it's not even a real relationship if she'll drop everything, him included, to be near Aoyama, much less if she's so obsessed with him that she won't even notice that her boyfriend is injured when Aoyama's around. Seriously, he needs to dump her; if she truly does love him as much as she says, this could be a good wake up call, and force her to learn to look only at him. And if she doesn't love him as much as she says, then she can reexamine her feelings and become nothing but a fan leader. But it's just too sad to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't even really see you. It'd be better even to do like the Judo guy and become a supporter.

On a different note, Moka's pretty darn impressive. They need to figure out a loophole to let her on the team; I'm pretty sure she's second only to Aoyama himself. Not to mention that it might help her improve her own relationship: when he faced her on the field, he became so engrossed that he pulled a slide on the sand everyone'd been trampling, and I'm almost certain it wasn't the last 5. Off field she's like everyone else, but on field she's able to inspire him to forget his phobia. A few months of that and she might be able to reach a point where he can touch her. Of course, she'll die from such a deliberate touch, but still I think she'd consider it a small price for the reward of actual physical contact.

All the diving, though - that's bad form.

She did it TWICE, and one of those times was a result of her freaking out when his shoe brushed her. "All that diving" doesn't seem to really fit when it's a trick she used ONCE.
