“Stand Up – Because You Were There”

Yagami’s all angsty again.

“Home – The One and Only”

A fun—if incoherent—break away from the action.

「壁 – 追跡,まだ遠く離れ」 (Kabe – Tsuiseki, Mada tooku hanare)
“Wall – Chasing, Still So Far Away”

A strong entry which develops multiple characters at once.

A nice break from the action to strengthen our main cast—both in skill and character depth.

Strides in the right direction, even through a few stumbles.

「GALAXY いま、星たちが輝く」 (GALAXY Ima,-boshi-tachi ga kagayakimasu)
“Galaxy – Now, Stars Who Shine”

Running a little too fast.

“Believe – I Will Always Be Here”

A second entry that, despite some missteps, proves to be a strong one.

「ON YOUR MARK 運命のはじまり」 (ON YOUR MARK Unmei no hajimari)

A promising entry into the contemporary renaissance of sports anime
