Hmm, based on the comments in this thread, I guess I should check out the manga.
As I know most manga(s) have better scenes, storylines, and characters than the anime counterparts. And yup, I did not find episode 3 emotional.

Oh, it definitely is different..the manga depicts the accident scene as much more brutal:

yup of all the sport anime, soccer is my favorite sport to watch though i am a die hard fan of tennis IRL. yea manga is always better, but i like how the anime is being executed so far.
next episode looks fun with the guy that suguru rivals to be fat and all.
only thing i don't like is the cliche of death to help push the main character to the end as a basis. he dies especially early. only disappointment; and i feel like its moving a lil fast, especially with the transfering of schools.

Does anyone know if the time skip before the high school timeline is important? Just curious since I'm not following the manga.
Based on the episodes that aired so far, I'd say the timeline is pretty important as it shows how Kakeru, Seven, and his brother got into soccer. I've not read the manga yet but I think they showed alot of flashback scenes related to it.
Ok thanks for the heads up Stark! I'll check out the manga and see for myself. I saw comments on another site that it's probably what happened in the middle school after the accident. So I was just curious.

Ya, the manga is definitely executed better now that I've read the accident scenes. I think someone mentioned before that it was a bit censored cause of the airing time period. So yes, in terms of storyline telling and visual art, I recommend the manga.

Afterwards, both SC and FC disbands and forms a union to represent Enoshima. However...they don't seem to be on good terms:
Now, to the main part of this episode. It seems that Seven (little witch) has a hard decision to make:

Last two episodes have been better than a lot of the other ones. Nice to see the continuing little moments between Kakeru and Nana(I usually use the Seven nickname for her on another forum). Good to see the two seiyuu from Touch continue their roles as the women's captain and the women's coach. Hope they stick around for a while. Incidentally, I hope CR gets Touch and/or Cross Game some day.
Love to know if this will be 2 cours or 4 cours. It will be really interesting to see how the ratings of these last two episodes are(whether they stay above 1.0 or fall down like 0.2 for a few of those lesser quality episodes)
