Eyeshield 21 11
April 5, 2007
Yay, finally everyone’s back in Japan. One of the funnier scenes in the beginning was with Fatty Jr. and his father, where Fatty Jr. was just gesturing wildly with his hands and his dad was saying things like “You pushed a truck 2,000 k? GOOD MAN!”
The tryouts were in this volume. I was kind of surprised since I’m pretty sure the team is still short (and the people who sub for them at games mention this… Hiruma calls their names as having made the cut and several of them sound rather confused as to why they’re being called as regular members). They did make a cut though, which made me extremely sad. I guess… that’s this series way of not keeping the “you can do anything!” attitude that tends to pervade these types of series. He’s sticking around though, so I’m sure he’ll come back later.
There was also a very funny scene where Sena got separated from the group along with Chin Fuzz, and the two of them jump on a bus under the latter’s direction and wind up in Nagano. Chin Fuzz is one of my new favorite characters. He’s AWESOME. Unfortunately, I still can’t be bothered to remember his name.
