The World Cup is coming up, so it only makes sense that Toonami is running a soccer anime.

 

Don't get a yellow card; check it out tonight at 1 AM.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!

Only TOONAMI!!

Man, nothing is more exciting than a game that can go 5 hours and end in a 0-0 tie.  This is Demarco's idea of ACTION?!

Well, it can't be worse than Prince of Tennis. 😄

[ben0119]

Hey that's someone else's catchphrase...

[DangerMouse]

Damn

[DangerMouse]

If you were on the same team you say, looking like thats about to happen

[DangerMouse]

LOL and it's a full house

[saito34]

Sports anime always do a great job with character variety. One stud athlete after another.

[ben0119]

Wtf were those two fucked up Demon Slayer looking guys. 😄

This scarecrow Steve Jobs looking fucker is creepy too.

[OwlChemist81]

So I'm watching this interpretive dance to Huntr-X, and it's more interesting than this...

[DangerMouse]

ROFL

[DangerMouse]

Intense face 

[ben0119]

Locked in a facility with a bunch of dudes.  Which means there won't even be any waifu side characters.  This show is off to an even worse start than I expected!

[DangerMouse]

Savage

[DangerMouse]

Pile of dead bodies haha

[OwlChemist81]

"Shithead!!"

[DangerMouse]

LOL, nothing about that letter told the parents they aren't coming home

[DangerMouse]

LOL ripped

[DangerMouse]

Hey there "Connie"

LOL, he looks so much like him

[saito34]

When do they play red light/green light?

[DangerMouse]

Red haired girly looking guy looking like Kurama

[ben0119]

Yeah I've never been into sports, and the only sports anime I watched of my own volition were girls sports. 😁

Demarco is really testing my Toonami completionist streak by making us watch a guys sports anime... and SOCCER of all things!

[OwlChemist81]

This is actually pretty wild!

[ben0119]

A guy sucking his thumb, really?

[DangerMouse]

LOL

[OwlChemist81]

Here we go...

[ben0119]

Soccer... tag.

[ben0119]

Come on just old yeller that fucker!

[DangerMouse]

Additional time lol.

Oh yeah that is a thing. Though I know basically zero about soccer lol.

[OwlChemist81]

Asking Santa for a World Cup trophy...

That sounds like something trump would do... 🫩

[DangerMouse]

The only other soccer thing I've ever seen lol

 

[ben0119]

The gave his mom such a young voice but made her look oddly overly old for some reason.  And the dad has the One Piece narrator's voice.

[ben0119]

It would be funny if this guy wasn't sanctioned by the Japanese government at all and was just some crazy rich guy doing this on his own. 😄

Well, it can go on for hours and end in a 0-0 tie, and it's even more boring than golf and curling!

Dude, say what you will about soccer but the one thing it doesn't is go on for hours. Minus a bit of extra time bullshit it's on a fixed clock like no other timed sport is. Also you shut your mouth, curling kicks ass.

Anyways, that was...um...a show all right. I don't know what to make of this yet but that was not the most compelling first episode of all time.

Ok, it FEELS like hours!  Soccer is so dull it distorts our perception of time. 😄  Yeah curling kicks ass, unlike soccer!

Yep it was not the best first outing.
