Try Knights First Episode Reaction


Raw notes:

-Am I ready to commit to another sports anime? Honestly Haikyuu! ruined every sports anime for me.
-Apparently Haruma is a genius. Teacher notices that he's lost in thought and looking out the window (as what is always shown in every school anime ever!) but he was able to answer the teacher's question and then some.
-Kariya Akira is shown playing rugby, but why is Haruma so amazed by that? It's weird. Then they have an awkward interaction, but then he gives Akira science-y advice on how he should run so that he could turn faster, or something like that.
-The typical lunch in the rooftop - though it has been pointed out that students are actually  not allowed to go in the rooftop of the school. Akira asks Haruma to coach him since his suggestion before worked out in the end, but Haruma flat out refuses, saying he is done with Rugby.
-Akira obsessively follows Haruma around, and of course eventually Haruma says yes after knowing the reason why Akira asks for his help. He held out that long, the reason for him to say yes seems a little shallow.
-Somehow it ends with the two of them (Haruma and Akira) versus seven other team members. Of course the two kicked  their butts... because science.
-In conclusion, another potential BL ship is born in sports anime.

So will I continue to watch it? Nah. This first episode didn't reel me quite in. I don't judge by weak pilots, it's the story and where I think it's headed is what's pulling the plug.

I'll rate it 6/10.
