LAboy456's Profile

I remember watching the "Kimba, The White Lion" series when it broadcasted in Portugal throughout the mid 90's and it was a very good one (I even loved one of the episodes, it was so touching)

This special (that commemorates both the 90th anniversary of Tezuka Osamu and the 50th anniversary of Fuji Television) is really different from the series: it's like it reinvented itself from them, centering the story in our current century and having current important issues included on the story

It's enjoyable in many ways: it has good comedy and drama moments and I liked the relationship between Leo and Kenichi. Its animation (art) is great as well

On the other hand, the story could have been much better if there would be a bit more of character developement on the leading characters (once more, talking Leo and Kenichi)

A good recomendation for the fans of "Kimba, The White Lion" and for the anime fans, all in all read more

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
