I watched this anime when I was in elementary school, and including me all my friends were really into it. This got us all into soccer too lol, I would imagine myself being Tsubasa, or Misaki and try harder at soccer.
I recently watched the first three episodes but couldn't find anymore with english subs, or dubs. If anyone knows anyplace I can find them in please let me know.
But as to the anime it is very enjoyable, it combines both reality and super powers such as Tsubasa's super kick (which, while playing the Japanese only Atari game with my friends and not knowing a bit of Japanese, for an unknown reason called it "Magnum"), and the Twins' super-joint kick.
It is about a student named Ozora Tsubasa who moves to Nankatsu from his hometown because he wants to play soccer in the famous Shuutetsu team. However, his encounters on the first few days forces him to reconsider, and with the advisement of the famous Brazillian soccer player Roberto Hongo who was asked to train Tsubasa by his father, he ended up joining Nankatsu Public School's soccer team, a rival to Shuutetsu that hasn't won in many years. Mainly it is because of Tsubasa's rival beginning with the famous Shuutetsu goalkeeper Wakabayashi Genzo, and the friends he made that go to Nankatsu PS. As the story develops Taro Misaki moves to Nankatsu a few days after Tsubasa and becomes best friends with him, also joining Nankatsu.
The series follows on the games of Nankatsu and friendships and rivalries of Ozora Tsubasa.
I recommend it to everyone. read more

I watched this anime when I was seven and I still I remember how much I hated it. The plot is about this ELEMENTARY school soccer team (OK the second half is about their junior high life but who gives a @$#). Soccer is a good sports but why elementary school kids? If you want to make a sports-genre anime about passion and dreams and all that stuff, elementary kids are not the way to go, trust me. This naturally leads to horrible characters since they are a bunch of brats anyways. The show literally turned the soccer field into a drama stage, where you constantly see two people arguing about their worldviews and solving each other's life problems during a soccer game. Of course, the worst doesn't come until the last game when the antagonist kicked the soccer ball straight into the protagonist's belly in order to wake him up. He was actually aiming for the goal but then he changed him mind, turned 90 degrees to the right, and then aimed for the progatonist. Awful awful show. Not even funny. read more

I always knew Hungry Heart and Captain Tsubasa had some relation. Later, I found out it was created by the same person! Hungry Heart is an anime I totally loved and still love as football is my favorite sport! It's story shows courage and determination like you'll never see it! Totally recommended! ^^
Another soccer anime from the same autor of Captain Tsubasa.

One cannot speak of Football anime (or soccer if you prefer) without reminding us of the granddaddy of them all, Captain Tsubasa. Both series are about young boys who love football and work diligently to be as good as they can possibly be. But Captain Tsubasa paved the way for how football anime are executed, being the first well-known and majorly successful in and outside Japan. While Captain Tsubasa does contain elements of shonen and 'super power kicks', they're not as frequent as it's usually made out to be, so most of the time it does feel like a proper football series. The only real difference in story is that CT is purely about football and hardly ever contain any side stories about anything else.
so as not to clutter the page with more Captain Tsubasa recommendations, this rec. also applies to its sequels in the order below.
- Captain Tsubasa: Europe Daikessen
- Captain Tsubasa: Ayaushi! Zen Nihon Jr.
- Captain Tsubasa: Asu ni Mukatte Hashire!
- Captain Tsubasa: Sekai Daikessen!! Jr. World Cup
- Captain Tsubasa: Saikyou no Teki! Holland Youth
- Shin Captain Tsubasa
- Captain Tsubasa J
- Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002
Both of animes talk about soccer
