shironishi is not happy with how they've been playing against ETU

As much as I love a great underdog story, I really really really love seeing how a winning/champion team deals with failure and not being the best anymore. The whole thing with "being at the top means there's no where to go but down" has always been really interesting to me and it's why teams like Tokyo Victory get my attention more than the other teams (other than ETU). It's the same reason why I found Ojo (from Eyeshield 21) and Velshtein (from IGPX) so interesting too. The struggle to stay at the top entertains me like nothing else.

Also it's a great way to see the character of...the characters lmao. Like Kurt Vonnegut so artfully put it in his rules for writing fiction:

Be a sadist. Now matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

The farm action was great.
Herschal is pretty amazing with that gun.
Glenn and Maggie make me smile so much aww.
I loved Rick being so frayed mentally (honestly he's not doing that bad considering he's on like no sleep after killing Shane and that farm mess. not that he wasn't being horribe, he was, but i'm just impressed he's got that much mental energy left).
Andrea was hella awesome.
And omg Michonne. :)
