Giant Killing – 03



Another excellent episode, three episodes in and Giant Killing still is able to consistently entertain with its excellent chemistry. I love how, instead of trying to play as nice as possible, the coach seeks conflict. Now that Murakoshi isn’t allowed to take the lead anymore, the hierarchies that unfold are really interesting to watch. This episode also showed that he isn’t perfect: one of his experiments goes completely wrong and everyone just ends up arguing with each other.

A new player also makes his entrance, some sort of narcissist who actually turns out to be quite good. The next episode should be interesting to see what he can do as the new captain of the team. It’s pulling something similar to Ookiku Furikabutte: instead of building up, go against a really good team right away.

I also think that this is the series with the most amount of variety in terms of ages this seasons: there are teenagers, people in their thirties, we have supporters in their forties and also the kids are part of them. The only ones are missing are the really old people and high schoolers. And to be honest, I’m not at all sad about the latter.

  1. these episodes need to come faster than once a week haha this is definitely my fav new/current anime along with FMA:b

  2. this is such a cool show XD
    You think Tsubaki’s like the next Tatsumi? hehe, just a random thought since he’s the new no. 7 of the team 🙂

  3. I wonder what the role that “prince” will play in the match? Concern about conflict that happened in this team now.(Damn…the root of it all because Murakoshi..) It’s look very hard to make them work together.
    But I think he(and Tatsumi) can do something for sure.Although Tatsumi already make something wrong in this ep -_-“.

    And why the people that look like superstar(that prince) became stuck with ETU ? I’m very curious.
    Another player that i’m very interested is Tsubaki. My sense say he will be at the bigger role in the future for sure.

    Looking for the match in the next ep. Ep2 can make me satisfied a lot. So.. wish next ep didn’t make me disappointed.

    Hmm..Due to how good that Giant killing be now. I plan to catch up on Oofuri soon. I heard that series is very good sport anime too. So..I ‘ll Try to watch it !
