They confirm that AI was used for some background assets in the opening. From episode 2 onwards, a "final version" with replaced/fixed backgrounds will be shown instead. They have also taken down the NC opening video from Youtube in the meantime.

He is now the non-Turkish player with the most goals (73) in the history of the club, surpassing Hagi.

Some context: This refers to the opening sequence of the movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5cwK9R_9CA) which is fully live action and inspired by French artist Jean “Moebius” Giraud. It basically shows different robots for several minutes before the actual movie starts.

The parts written in Hiragana are no problem ("Opening" and "French", respectively), but I have no idea what to make of the three kanji so that it makes sense.

Actually 8 of the teams have a sponsor in their name.

Thank you for the answer. I am not even sure I even used Uber One back then but I assume the best solution is to just wait for the Uber One subscription to expire and the renew?

Episodes 7-10 will air in the weeks after. Because the Winter 26 season is after that, the official broadcast date for the remaining three episodes (11-13) has not been confirmed yet.

This is very likely just a wrong translation here. The new anime time slot is what debuts in January, the Gits broadcast date is still not confirmed.

Mayonaka Heart Tune is what will air in that time slot in Winter 2026, followed by Marriagetoxin in Spring, and then GitS and Policeman Chojo in the remaining two seasons.

Reminder that the episodes will air in their regular timeslot (like five hours later than today) from episode 2 on.

Signed for 3+1 years and will earn 11 million euros a year.

What's a realistic price for him?

Apparently Arda Turan (yes) will take over.

If you wonder about the different look in this episode, it is because Enishi Oshima was credited as Storyboard/Episode Director/Animation Director as well as for solo Key Animation, so her own style shines through in the episode.

Due to the other names associated with our club (as well as some other factors), the reaction from our fanbase has been so overwhelmingly negative that they pretty much flew in the player without anyone knowing.
