English Dub Review: Mix “Full of Spirit”
Overview (Spoilers Below)
Meisei and Senkou High Schools begin practicing for their upcoming clash and Haruka join the teach coached by her father as a new trainer. Meanwhile, the boys’ soccer team are witnesses to Otomi’s loss to a rival in a swim lap. Turns out she was just getting some guy’s keys at the bottom of the pool which caused a delay in her swim time but gains the love of Ryo Akai.
Our Take
Baseball takes a back seat to swim and, to a lesser extent, soccer this week combined with your standard romantic comedy slice-of-life type of material. Guys chasing girls, girls chasing guys, jealousy and competition. It’s all here folks! I rather did enjoy the swim action sequences which, mixed with the baseball seasons, give us two sides of a very well-produced coin. Everything in between you can have, but the sports action is gonna have to be the stuff that keeps me interested.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
