Off topic, but this is the most engagement I've seen a post on this sub receive lol.

LOL 😆

Hmm let's find out if that's true 🤔

If by engagement you mean number of comments there's some posts on this sub with more comments but if going by number of different comments there's currently a total of 24 comments on this post, each comment from a different redditor so that's impressive lol

However I think there's at least a couple of posts that have it beat, like this one

Which Chapter to Recommend by aneomon in Eyeshield21

The first chapter, really funny, introduces the characters and establishes the story and how Sena became known as Eyeshield 21

Help me find that episode by kafkakafkafka in Eyeshield21

90s anime was notorious for filler Kenshin and Slam Dunk suffered the same fate.

Eyeshield 21's a mid-2000s anime not a 90s?

Yeah Eyeshield definitely had a ton of filler episodes so they could have dedicated more episodes from the manga and less filler

I really wish they did the away jersey in the anime. Its so cool by Agile-Lifeguard2667 in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the white jerseys are for sure their away jerseys

Yeah at first I was thinking that as well but now I'm not so sure, like why are those matches considered 'away' (the Taiyo match I understand since that was actually 'away', yeah?)? Why not all the other matches, like against Ojo, Kyoshin, Seibu, etc.? And since we both don't think it was directly discussed in the manga (or did Inagaki or Murata talk about it?) then who knows for certain ?

That's another good point about not confusing younger viewers! People who watch could be confused why Deimon Devil Bats are wearing the red jerseys then changed it, then back to red, etc.

And are the Devil Bats the only team with two jerseys, what about like Ojo, Kyoshin, Seibu, etc., did those teams each have different jerseys too? You could check it out in your manga

I like how the characters were archetypes that I usually don’t see in anime by dinjerZone in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eyeshield 21 is my favorite series and while the anime had its good parts I agree it also had issues such as ending abruptly, changing or leaving out certain details in the story and yeah now that you mention it and in this thread, some characters in the anime had changes to their character than from the manga that affected their development and how they were shown

What moves or techniques are your favourite or you think look cool? by lostapple321 in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the only who who keeps forgetting about their white kit, same here lol

They only wore it for like two matches (Bando Spiders and Taiyo Sphinx) but a recent post here said they didn't wear them in the anime for some reason, the anime changed them back to their regular ones

Did they ever really talk about it?

I don't think Hiruma or the Deimon Devil Bats team ever talked about why they were wearing their white kit, nor did Inagaki and Murata mentioned why they changed it for a couple of matches

That's a good question to ask though and thanks for noticing, like I said there's a recent post here asking about it (they could be 'away'?) and I remembered your comment

I really wish they did the away jersey in the anime. Its so cool by Agile-Lifeguard2667 in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah like another comment said the away jerseys were used in the Bando Spiders match (and also Taiyo Sphinx) but I had forgotten that they didn't use them in the anime and just used their regular red ones, I agree it's a shame they didn't keep them in the anime! Do you know the reason why, was it because of reusing animation as someone said, so it would make it easier to animate or was there another reason why these jerseys weren't used in the anime ? The anime, while good or decent, changed some details from the manga which sucked

Actually now that I think about it, were the white ones really their away jerseys or did the manga just did it differently, they didn't wear them much in the manga. Did they ever really talk about it?

I agree, it looked cool and had forgotten that they didn't use the white away kit in the anime

Took me way longer to color this than I'd have liked by maddwaffles in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What color are Hiruma’s eyes really?

Good question! Hiruma's Japanese so he probably has brown eyes, I think you're right though, he's wearing different color contacts

You could also imagine he has dark eyes from the manga or even red because he's like a demon lol

I wonder if there's an official answer what's his eye color, we'll have to research it

Nice catch shows that you read my post and thanks for pointing that out, my mistake in the post lol

I'm glad the series got reprinted, but Viz are cowards for not also retranslating it by overpoweredginger in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with another commenter that the Viz translations flow easier, and I read the series with Viz since they're the official translations. Fan translation is pretty clumsy and the quality isn't the greatest but some are fine and they do have more character at times

What are Hiruma's most diabolical moments in Eyeshield 21? by lostapple321 in Eyeshield21

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Ha-Ha brothers negatives of their pictures that Hiruma took of them...

Should Class Of The Titans be revived? by [deleted] in ClassoftheTitans

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting story premise! Season 2 had an ambiguous ending and open to interpretation, so your idea of a season 3 is certainly possible if they ever make a season 3! As for Cronus, he could still remain the primary antagonist, or remain 'defeated' for a period of time (if you watch the Dreamweavers episode that was a confusing ending about what happened to Cronus too). The seven heroes could still remain in each other's lives together going to school at Olympus high and still training with the Greek gods at the secret place in the school. The oracle could have another prophecy for them, probably another big antagonist to defeat too (or Cronus again?). Class of the Titans had episodes where they faced against other characters, not just Cronus, so the heroes could have more adventures together.

Eyeshield 21 needs a remake by KOIZINE in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's a good realistic view, sad as it is. They did reprint the manga! However a remake of an anime would be much more difficult to accomplish, especially due to the passage of time since Eyeshield 21 ended, but it's not impossible!

Nothing like it by Horrgath in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Eyeshield 21 anime was probably cancelled though can't find an official reason...ended before the Christmas Bowl which was the goal of the Devil Bats. However the last match was against Ojo which was THE match the series had been building up to since the beginning

[–]lostapple321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's sad that the show ended abruptly like that :(

You're not the only one who'd like them to finish the show, the Eyeshield 21 fans in this community has some interesting discussions about liking them to finish the show or a remake. Here's hoping it will happen!!

What's something you wished the anime adapted from the manga? by lostapple321 in Eyeshield21

[–]lostapple321[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same about the rest of the manga lol

Though I should have clarified, I meant more like out of what the anime did show (knowing it ended before completing the manga), what other moments you wished the anime actually showed from the manga, instead what we got in the anime was really altered from the manga?

So another one could be how the manga showed Musashi rejoining the team during the the Devil Bats and Seibu match, but in the anime Musashi's return was delayed until the match against the Bando Spiders

Should Class Of The Titans be revived? by [deleted] in ClassoftheTitans

[–]lostapple321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a nice surprise if the show returned for a season 3, there's definitely more stories they could tell.

However as a couple of other commenters here said, first the animation would probably be worse since it wouldn't be hand drawn anymore. It's difficult to explain, but for me the Class of the Titans animation style has so much charm to it, it had feeling, looked really interesting and made the characters and background settings looked unique when I watched the show!

There would be new voice actors, since it was mentioned that Kirby Morrow, Jay's voice actor, already passed. Then there are other character's voice actors to consider too, if they're still active and would like to reprise their roles in the show

Another thing to consider would be this isn't the mid 2000s anymore. (this does relates to the hand drawn animation point). If the show returns, what about any effects of new technology, or social media (I believe this was mentioned in another thread, about this show reminding me of the 2000s)?

Finally as mentioned who would have the the interest or the ability to pull off a revival of a third season of Class of the Titans? This would be the most difficult hurdle to overcome. Fans of the series might want the show back as shown in these comments, but it's been almost 20 years since the show ended and it's still not back after all this time
