I can't get enough of this 17-18 Forest Leaves squad. They're like Himeji before Himeji was cool, but they're also beastly. And they play great defense. They have two furious MBs, a couple fan service swingers, and a real talent at OH (who's the only one still with the team). The créme de la créme though is the setter. I don't like her but she's so weird it's a gas. On a perfect reception play she'll do a very lazy style jump set but she jumps and lands before actually setting the ball. Sometimes she sets the ball flat-footed -- and then does the jump! She thinks she's being devious. She staggers around drunkenly beneath high passes. Very entertaining. She was just named Captain of the current JA Gifu team, which is odd because in the couple years I've watched them she's barely played.
Seems only the last couple months of 17-18 season got full DAZN level broadcasts. I guess because they were fighting for automatic promotion to V1? Even the Final matches of 16-17 & 18-19 were typical V2 video without commentary.
How tragic for the team to have qualified to V1 but lose the opportunity because their company went bankrupt.
