Synopsis

After fighting to free the game of soccer in Japan from the Fifth Sector, the country's soccer squads can once again look forward to stepping onto the field. However, a new challenge will emerge for Japanese players in the form of the Football Frontier International Vision 2, a new tournament that will bring together the best teams each country can assemble.

Tenma Matsukaze and his Raimon teammates, Takuto Shindou and Kyousuke Tsurugi, are once again part of the action as they have been selected to play for the Japanese representative, Inazuma Japan. Much to their surprise, the coach selects eight other players that have no previous experience playing soccer!

Team Inazuma Japan will have a huge mountain to climb, building chemistry and skills as they go along. What they don’t know is that the tournament will set the stage for something much bigger, something out of this world in Inazuma Eleven Go: Galaxy!

I find it odd that despite being the best written of the six Inazuma seasons, this is the one no one talks about. Sure, it's not outstanding compared to a lot of other anime out there, but it's nothing to be ignored.

The plot is a little rocky and predictable at worst, but as a children's anime, it's actually very well done and doesn't needlessly drag on certain points for many episodes, especially after around episode 18. The flow was a little too predictable about midway through the anime, but towards the end it definitely got interesting.

The new eight characters on the main team are ... developed super nicely, which is something we haven't really seen in Inazuma since Fubuki Shirou and Kidou Yuuto. All eight characters are given a reason to be there, and backstories that while are not deep, get the job done and fill in the reasoning behind their personalities. For instance, Nozaki Sakura's self-centered behaviour and need to be number one on the team is due to her parents always pushing her throughout her childhood to be the absolute best, and that there is no room for her to make mistakes. It definitely strains her relationship with her teammates

The characters that weren't in previous seasons aren't so lucky, as aside from main character Tenma, we don't see much new development in Tsurugi or Shindou. I found Kuroiwa's backstory to be very frustratingly lacking. Very few of the aliens are very well developed at all, which was very odd as they were the true main focus of the anime. A select few aliens such as Bitway and Lalaya are interesting characters as they are, but more insight into their history (especially Bitway's) would've been fantastic.

Art and animation is very good throughout the anime especially compared to the very first season of Inazuma Eleven, though I feel the bright colours became a little hard on the eyes after a while. The art style is still slightly cringe-worthy at times, but it's nothing too bad. Scenery was very pretty, the CGI throughout the anime blended much better with the animation cels in Go Galaxy than it did in the previous five seasons.

This anime has possibly one of my favourite OSTs in anime. Nothing to rival Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji, Free, or Fullmetal Alchemist, but it definitely has a very captivating musical score, everything from fast paced rock with violins to slower piano melodies. Several tracks from the previous five seasons are reused (I recognized several from Chrono Stone at various instances), but several tracks from the new score top a lot of the old stuff.

The voice acting is all very nice and emotions are captured very nicely, but something that really stands out to me are the sound effects. Particularly, there's a scene in episode 42 where the main team plays against the final antagonist team, the captain of the main team falls victim to a sliding tackle, and lands on the ground with a sickening crack. I've never heard anything in an anime so vibrantly painful enough to make my stomach turn, even after seeing gory animes like Higurashi and 3x3 Eyes.

You don't notice it as much in other seasons, but you can actually hear small sounds very distinctly such as the vibrations of the rubber of a ball being kicked, footsteps in different environments, and other little things like that. A lot of the sounds used in space and on alien planets are very nice to the ears.

All in all, as a fan of Inazuma for a few years, I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. Aside from very few factors like Kuroiwa's backstory, Zanakurou's personality compared to Zanark's from Chrono Stone, and some of the early stuff that happened between the three main characters, I think it could work very well as a standalone anime if you haven't seen the other seasons. Despite being targeted towards children, there's several factors that I feel make it enjoyable for all ages.

Mixed Feelings

Spoiler

Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy is, by far, the worst season of Inazuma Eleven in my eyes! Galaxy left me feeling unsatisfied compared to the other seasons, which, in my opinion, were flawless. Firstly, there are a few positive points to note. The concept of traveling through the galaxy is interesting in itself, staying true to the spirit of Inazuma Eleven, and the introduction of novelties such as Soul adds a welcome diversity in terms of strategy. But then, it's a series of disappointments and poor decisions.

Firstly, the concept of inviting random characters such as Nozaki Sakura (Cerise Blossom), Hayato Matatagi (Falco Flashman), Shin Tetsukado (Frank ... Foreman), Jinichirō Manabe (Zippy Lermer), Ryūji Kusaka (Buddy Fury), Konoha Morimura (Trina Verdure), Munemasa Ibiki (Terry Archibald), and Kazuto Minaho (Keenan Sharpe), who cannot play football besides the trio Arion, Riccardo, and Victor, is ridiculous! And even if that's not a big deal, it just needs to develop the new characters and train them thoroughly (Shonen spirit!). Well, no! It's exactly the opposite! For most of them, they have no interest in football. Moreover, despite their participation, their motivations are purely financial or familial! In the end, the new characters introduced didn't leave as much of an impact on me as the previous ones, lacking charisma, attachment, and especially depth.

Furthermore, I found the plot less captivating and less well-developed, with less gripping stakes. The anime presents a succession of fantastical and science-fiction elements like exotic planets, extraterrestrial creatures, Celestial Kings, and even a black hole. To me, these elements are sometimes a bit far-fetched and hard to believe, which can affect my ability to fully immerse myself in the story and feel the characters' emotions. Moreover, this can create inconsistencies in the plot and give the impression that the writers are taking some shortcuts, which, for me, undermines the credibility and overall quality of the anime. For example, the anime follows a repetitive and predictable pattern where Earth Eleven team successively faces different planetary teams such as Faram Obius, Gurdon Eleven, Ratonîk Eleven, Sandorius Eleven, and Sazanâra Eleven, solving their problems one by one. This repetition can sometimes make me feel like the anime lacks originality and surprises, and it diminishes the tension and suspense a bit because I know in advance that Earth Eleven will always end up winning and befriending its opponents. On the other hand, the shift in tone towards a more fantastical approach made me lose the emotional aspect and the relationships between the characters that I enjoyed so much in the earlier seasons. As a football fan, I'm disappointed that the sport is relegated to the background.

Although Galaxy has its strong moments, it failed to match the excitement I had for the anime's previous seasons. Furthermore, the lack of support for the video game makes it difficult to fully enjoy. It's really regrettable to see that many fans of the anime, myself included, have abandoned it, hindering its potential for success. This also deprives the gaming community of the enthusiasm necessary to thrive, thereby limiting its ability to generate engagement and success among dedicated fans. I hope that later on, I could go to Japan and buy Galaxy, given that I don't mind playing in Japanese, even if I don't understand everything.

Preliminary (1/43 eps)

This is the sixth book in the Inazuma Eleven series.
Is it because the plot has become stale and boring, or is it because the main audience has grown up and stopped watching?
Either way, it was too long and trite.

Before this anime was aired, information on the Korokoro comic was released ahead of time, but many people didn't like the development of a total replacement of all but the usual three members, and some people said they wouldn't watch it.
I don't understand why they left out Shinsuke and Kirino, who have been fighting alongside the main character until now.

I think one of the reasons for the ...
