(Review up until episode 9)
"Inazuma Eleven Go", kinda like a spin-off show of Inazuma Eleven, but with grown-up characters...
Story - 5/10
The whole "Being controlled by a secret organization" thing seems kind of cliché but it was a nice change from the previous "season" as it actually adds a bit more of plot to it...The story evolves nicely in these couple of episodes but nothing close to being great...
And still, even though the story seems mediocre, I find myself enjoying it and waiting for it to evolve into something better...
Art & Sound - 6/10
...
The art doesn't change much, even when the characters are grown-up, they still look like kids...The hairstyle, clothes and even their height might change, but their voices remain the same and you can still see the "little kids" they were before, even with the "adult look" they claim to have...
One thing I do enjoy is the variety of characters, all with unique hairstyles and looks but...what is that? Is it me or is this "new" Raimon kind of the same as the old one? They have a big guy too...I felt like I was watching the original all over again and yet...something changed?
The main character now is a player and not a goal-keeper, inovative? I wouldn't say so, but it is nice to see the field from another point-of-view...
Sound...The opening is good and enjoyable, at some times the soundtrack seems a little too dramatic for the show that it is...I would espect the whole "orchestra" idea from an action / thriller show, not from a soccer based anime...The voice-acting is good but like I said, adults do not differ from the kids they were in Inazuma Eleven...
Character - 6/10
Clones, clones...they all look like clones...Tenma is a rip-off of Endou, he has the same attitude and "love" for soccer and the energy to make his team-mates "pumped up"...Then we have Tsurugi, which appears to be a cool character but doesn't do much...Shindou, at first I thought he would end up as some melancholic kid who cried over everything but it was actually good to see him "spark up" a bit and now he is playing "actual soccer"...
Not many characters had the chance to show off their cool techniques or personalities so, I don't have much to say...Oh, and Endou didn't change at all, besides the fact that he looks calmer...
Enjoyment - 7/10
Even with all the elements above and the feeling that this show won't be much different from the other one...I find myself checking back for subbed episodes and watching them happily...I am enjoying it and I hope I will enjoy it even more once more characters shows up and the plot thickens a bit...
I enjoyed the previous season and this one (Even without much inovation to bring) promises to be as enjoyable as the last one...Let us just hope they keep us busy with the episodes...
Overall - 6.2
If you liked the previous season, you might enjoy this one...if you are looking for something more realistic, don't watch this and go watch "Captain Tsubasa", if you enjoy slow-passed comedy and action, you might want to watch it...Either way, it isn't a great anime but it will keep you busy and away from all the other anime that like to bring "ecchi" to everything xD
