「激突! FC対SC!!」 (Gekitotsu ! FC tai SC !!) "Clash! FC vs SC!!" Whatever miracle diet “King” Araki was on, he needs to patent it, because he’ll never have to work a day in his life. Seriously? Two weeks and what, 50 pounds? This kid should be in bed hooked up to an IV, not playing soccer.

「兄のパルス」 (Myaku no Onee) "A Brother's Pulse" Events continue to barrel along at a breakneck pace, but my suspicion is now that “that” has happened, things are going to slow down quite a bit – and we’re going to find out just how good a series Area no Kishi is. Or isn’t.

Episode 1 My impression of Sports series is that they usually fall under two categories – ridiculous in nature or realistic with a touch of drama.
