Before "Inazuma Eleven" came along, I always thought "Captain Tsubasa" represented very well the football issue ("football" in UK, "soccer" in USA). It still does, altough it can be a bit boring sometimes (the first episodes of the 1983 version are unforgettable)
But in my opinion, so far, "Inazuma Eleven" is really the best, with "Ganbare Kickers" coming in second place. Sure there's a bit of exageration with those football moves when playing a game, but the football game moments are nice to see (nice sound and art as well)
What's really the best is the story out of the football games combined with a great cast
of characters (when a character is included, the story only gets better): there's some great moments for comedy and drama in there
Junko Takeuchi is always great when she voices the main character, Endou Mamoru. No wonder: she also showed that in "Hunter x Hunter" (Gon Freecs) and "Naruto" (Uzumaki Naruto)
All in all, a great anime and hoping for more suprises in it read more
