heh, since unicorn seems to be getting orion kids, it would be funny if russia really was the only team with no orion disciples.

also, about hyouketsu no gungnir, i wish saginuma would take a more permanent defense position and somehow alter that hissatsu and use it with atsuya. they can't just rob my boy's gungnir theme like that. plus, it would be fun to see them interact considering desarm and fubuki in OG

my fav episode would definitely be episode 21 for....obvious reasons (sakuma's "i can do thing kidou can't do)

i forgot the episode number, but the ep where endou confronts ichihoshi about his hospitalized brother had really good direction, and i liked the eerie tone.

idk about matches, i simultaneously like and dislike all of them, but i guess i would go with australia since that's when the ish really hit the fan. and i'm really looking forward to the unicorn match.

that makes sense since they're trying to make it as close to the irl world cup as possible and they did something like that when the zeus vs raimon and seishou vs outei matcher where at eeeeh almost the same time.

Having watched the group stage matches recently, it made me realise how much I hope Tsunami is one of the additional members they add to the team. I'm all up for new faces obviously but he had a big personality that brought a lot more to the team than I remembered.

speaking of tsunami, he's getting a combi license with tachimukai (which doesn't affect the anime in any way, but i thought it was cute)

I was wondering if anyone has any international teams they're particularly hoping return in the finals stage? It could be unlikely but I'd love to see The Empire again; they're genuinely a defensive team but still exciting team to watch, plus it'd be great to see hissatsu like Zig-Zag Flame, Million Hands and Hellfire with flashy re-interpretations.

yeah, it is unlikely to see any of them other than unicorn, but the empire would be fun to see again, compared to this inazuma japan where the only players who stand out are forwards and some midfielders.

i know who i would NOT like to see back, though: england. unless they come back with a different concept. i liked edgar but i always find it boring when english characters have the whole chivalry/royalty/freaking king arthur (or alice in wonderland, but that doesn't apply to knights of queen) thing as a main concept.

in orion's defense, the teams are less stereotype-y so it's not like i'm expecting like...a french team where the gk just swings the ball away with a baguette. they actually managed to do something fun and new with australia instead of the kangaroo down under thing, so i'm looking forward to the new teams.
