Whistle! is a most read manga for all ages. Even if you find that you don't care for sports, or like Shounen Jump Manga, I honestly recommend that you give this one a try.
I've reread Whistle! so many times now that I've lost track of the exact number. But I thought I would tell you a little bit about why I love this series so much. It's one of the most inspiring manga series I've ever read. And the only one I own most of.
I have a hard time finding any fault in this series. I think the story is amazing. The artwork
...
is fanominal. All the characters tend to grow on you. The enjoyment is intense and exciting. And overall this manga series is bewildering. After each volume... each chapter really... I couldn't wait for more. I still get those same feelings every time I pick up this series.
I think the author did an excellent job on capturing what it means to chase after dreams, the stumbles one may go through to reach those dreams, and the people who may be on the sidelines silently showing their support, through love and care. But most of all, the author, through this series, shows that anything can be achieved through hard work and devotion.
I love the spirit of Whistle! It has such great moods and a different atmosphere from other Shounen Jump Manga, that I've read. Because you get to see through the eyes of a character who really struggles, it feels more believable in a lot of ways.
Sho Kazamatsuri, he doesn't believe that he's very good, and he isn't at first. But he works harder to make up for what he lacks skill-wise and technique-wise. His passion (obsession) makes it hard not to fall in love with him, as the main character. His drive could make it impossible to beat him. But most of all, his personality just draws the best out of those around him, it doesn't matter if they're his teammates or not. Through each volume Sho meets many amazing characters who continually influence him to do the best he can, and to be the best he can be.
I could go through just about all of the characters this same way... telling you just why I love them... but I don't think I'm going to. I'm sure you could just read this series and find out for yourself why I love it so much.
So please just check it out. You might find that you enjoy it just as much as I do.
"If your opponent is a superior player... you need to polish what your best at then use it in the fight." -Ko Kazamatsuri
Thanks for reading. If this Review makes you, in even the smallest way, want to pick up a volume of Whistle! and start reading today... then I'm glad.

Kanon 2006 has a lot of emotions in it. How shall I describe it? An anime of many miracles... cute, funny, sad, its a relationship builder. Yes, I think that's a great way for describing it, a relationship builder. A boy who makes many friends while staying with his aunt, as a child. And then completely forgetting them, only to become friends with them all over again seven years later. Theres a very little bit of action, not much. And not every moment made sense until the end of the anime.
I think it surprised me how real the characters made the anime feel. I really
...
did get lost inside that world somehow. To regain his memory, Yuuichi had to go through a lot of trials, he had to lose and regain them to realize their importance. To me this anime had a sweet and yet tragic taste. A never ending dream, and yet at the same time, reality. I think this anime deserves its rating of nine because it really did keep me glued to my seat this time around.
But I really should be honest; it took me three tries to get through this anime. Okay, so I started watching Kanon (2006) a few years back. I couldn't decide if I wanted to watch it in English or Japanese at the time. So I tried watching the first episode in japanese but out of curiosity I started it over and swiched to english. Normally I'd be fine just watching an anime in japanese with subs, but after hearing the voices in english it sort of just stuck. I decided to watch it in english because after making it through the first episode I realized that most of the voice actors I had grown up listening to.
At that time I only got to about episode 7 or 8 before I moved on to watch something else. I decided I'd watch it some other time. Finally this year I started watching it from the beginning again. And before I knew it I was far beyond where I stopped the first time. I was able to finish all 24 episodes in about 4 days, that's how much I enjoyed it.

Okay, so I started this anime already knowing that it would make me cry. I just didn't know how bad. The first anime I watched for Clannad took me a while to get through. But the After Story, only a matter of days. The story kind of just pulled me in. I tend to over rate anime a lot, even for me. It always takes me a few days to get over the shock the anime leaves me in. Especially if I enjoyed it (tradegy or not).
Clannad and Clannad the After Story are anime that can take you into a different world all
...
together. They have a sort of fairytale aspect to them, one with both tradegy and a happy ending. The idea goes that there are many different worlds, and many different choices we can make. Making one choice can change everything, and I think thats what this anime is based on. I also think its based on the difference between being a child and not having to worry about anything, then becoming an adult and having the entire world to contend with. The aspect of growing up, leaving your friends and your family behind to start a new life, one in which you have to work. And then finally starting a family of your own. So if not anything else this anime refects life in a fairytaled way.
This anime has a lot of twists and turns to it. There are a lot of good and hard times each character has to go through. But you only hear about one person's troubles. The happy and sad times are still meant to help grow a character. I didn't see to much of that at first.
While this anime made me cry, it made me smile, and laugh too. So I'd have to say it's a cute tradegy, fairytale anime. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks so, and I hope I didn't spoil too much for you in this review.
One encounter can change everything. Without that encounter with someone special, you could lose every happy moment you might have had together.
