DAYS ‒ Episode 11 Review – ANN

At long last, DAYS has given me the soccer I asked for. This episode offers sweeping aerial views of the field, complicated plays that extend far beyond kicking and passing, and discussion of offensive and defensive strategies. This is the kind of gameplay I asked for from this anime, but I'm not sure it's what I actually wanted, because the heart of this episode doesn't come from the (often sort of wrong) soccer rule tracking, it comes from the characters. Returning Tsukushi to his starring role makes this story leagues better than it's been for several weeks.
