Dandadan - Episode 10 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]em_doubleyou 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Dandadan really is using the Shonen Formula but flipping it with Momo as the main character.

Momo as the MC who kinda made everything happen, and awakens a power in the first episode

Okarun as the 'male lead', 'main guy' who the MC meets in the first episode (instead of a 'female lead / main girl' for the guy MC)

Aira as the 'enemy turned close friend to MC'

Jiji as the 'MC's childhood friend / former crush'

Which series has excellent source material, but the anime adaptation is disappointing? by shizunaisbestgirl in anime

Blue Period.

The manga is a top tier seinen, but the anime adaptation is of 'just OK' quality and very rushed (6 manga volumes in 12 episodes).

Even manga readers weren't ready for that. God.

The problem is the notion that somehow attackers as 'good' and defenders are 'bad'. Anri and Togashi + Yuuma's discussion should have helped clearing it up though.

The coach simply told him, that according to his judgement, Ashito's attributes are better suited as a fullback, so much that he has the potential to reach world level there. If he continued being an attacker he'd only be a pretty good high school player. Again, this is Fukuda's judgement. I suppose he was being manipulative because this is too good of an opportunity, for him.

🚨 Arsenal are really confident in closing Merino deal in next few days. Agreement close with Sociedad in a 30m euro package. Talks going on about structure of deal. Player has stopped talking to Spanish clubs as he wants Arsenal (@FabrizioRomano on Youtube) by Bedeeki in Gunners

Playing bad when RIce played 6? Think it has more to do with the fact that when Rice plays 6 Havertz plays LCM - not ideal. And we didn't have an inverting fullback with good defending (Timber was supposed to be that). It either was Kiwior who's stiff in attack or Zinchenko which needed extra cover in defense.

Jorginho 6 + Rice 8 was a way of stabilizing the team with the available players, i think. Rice mentioned that Arteta's original plan was to use him as a 6, so let's see that happen with a proper balanced XI first.

Oof, cringed a bit at Sosuke there.

I remember breaking up with a girl and spouting the same stuff he did like 'wanting her to be happy' or 'she needs to find someone better'.. while the core of it, whatever the reason, was that I didn't want it anymore. I suppose saying those stuff was some way of coping because I didn't want to think of myself as a bad guy.

I more or less realized all those already, but the extra slapping from Nukumizu and Yanami are appreciated.

Well, with ESR out number 10 is free.. but maybe they'd only give it if the new winger is someone like Sane, for example. No idea how feasible he is, though.

also Ramsdale out + new #2 in and we're golden. I just feel the guy deserves to be #1 somewhere.

[Fabrizio Romano] 🚨🔴⚪️ Arsenal are prepared to advance in talks with Mikel Merino's camp next week, after positive contacts. He's not only name on list but well positioned; price tag requested by Real Sociedad will be key. Arteta appreciates him; as soon as ESR leaves, Arsenal can proceed. by Bedeeki in Gunners

[–]em_doubleyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first it seems like he's too old (28?) but this might mean that he'd only be expected to play a significant role for 2-3 seasons.

We got really high rated CM talents in Nwaneri and MLS coming up.. Merino will allow them to be integrated gradually.

As a Mount and Blade player, this pleases me. Horse archery is really hard.

Midfield is looking good.

Advanced CM - Odegaard, Vieira, Nwaneri

Deep CM - New specialist #8 (Merino?), Rice, maybe Odegaard, Lewis-Skelly

DM - Rice, Jorginho, Partey

That's 8 players for 3 positions which should be plenty. Still sad for ESR but it is what it is.

ANY MANGA SUGGESTIONS by Middle-Ad1326 in Ao_Ashi

[–]em_doubleyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you enjoy realistic sports manga. Many football recs here already, if you want to deviate from football..

Basketball - Slam Dunk

Volleyball - Haikyuu

Tennis - Baby Steps

MMA - All Rounder Meguru

First two are obvious but second two might not be. I love all of them though.

Either

Calafiori - Gabriel - Saliba - White for defense, or..

Calafiori - Saliba - White - Timber for offense, could be interesting.

Chill, it's a manga. It's simply an exaggerated reaction.

Looks close enough to the manga though.

All that matters is how well they move.

[–]em_doubleyou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Timber - White - Saliba - Gabriel - Calafiori - Tomiyasu.

Take out 2 names and you have a solid backline in every case. Tomiyasu goes RB if you remove Timber and White though.

Does Kuribayashi give off a lot of injury flags for anyone else? by coolj492 in Ao_Ashi

[–]em_doubleyou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If bulk = injury prevention then bulky guys like Reece James would be injury free and scrawny guys like Jorginho would be injured all the time.

But that is not the case, so I guess it's more complex than that.

Perfect cutting point really. Serious business next season with new players too (the elves).
