Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stone

Inazuma Eleven Go: Chrono Stone is set after the Holy Road Soccer Tournament. The hero of of the moment, Tenma Matsukaze, traveled all over Japan to teach soccer to kids.

He returns to Raimon Junior High School after completing his mission, but to his surprise, it's no longer the same Raimon Junior High that he remembers. The soccer club is non-existent, and the members of the champion team in the Holy Road Soccer Tournament have no recollection of taking part in the tournament. They neither remember Tenma nor the game of soccer they loved. As Tenma is baffled by this twist, Alpha, the leader of the Route Agents and captain of Protocol Omega team, suddenly appears before him. Alpha declares that he and his team are responsible for wiping out passion for soccer in Raimon along with the memories of the soccer club members: and Tenma himself is next.

That's when a strange boy named Fei Rune appears just in time to save him. Just who is Fei, and why does Alpha want to eliminate soccer for good? Tenma knows that he needs to do everything in his power to emerge victorious. It's a battle that could seal the fate of soccer forever.

Okay,the Go Chrono Storm series story line is really unexpected,with all the time jumping and parallel world,since this anime target young age,the youngster hardly couldn't understand those thing and apparently give them a trouble to keep up with the story,well it will be a different if their a science fiction freak.
It is give you an enjoyment since there are new feature of attack and new character,however most of the character are unexplained.This will cause the audience to wait until the end of the serious to get the idea,however,it remain untouched.
Well the development of the character and the story are great maybe there a slightless error,well,i ... doesn't give the big idea since the other plot covered them.
Overall,the story are great.If you an Inazuma Eleven fan,it worth watching it.

Mixed Feelings

Chrono Stone was weird, especially as someone who enjoys Inazuma Eleven.

The biggest differential of this one in comparison to the other animes of the series is that this one is more lore heavy. And to be completely honest, the lore is great! Of course nothing is perfect, but there were plenty of moments I felt emotional and even cried, but some others sadly were awful. This was the first time I experienced an Inazuma Eleven episode that I did not enjoy.

The downside of having a bigger focus on the lore is that the matches, which were the main attraction, became worse. And I'm sure, as ... an Inazuma fan, you'll feel like this is a terrible way to go about it. The whole thing that Endou said in the end of regular Go about Raimon being about everyone didn't really feel super true here. Some matches were awful, whilst others were great. Some characters were done amazingly, while others were awful.

Another issue this anime brings is the same issue I've said on my last review, which is about plot points being forgotten. Again we have something interested that is presented from the get-go and then they stop working on it. And it's even worse in this case because they don't even try to bring it back. It just becomes forgotten.

The last thing I want to point out is that the OST is FANTASTIC on this anime. I definitely recommend everyone listening to "Oppression by a Great Opponent!". That one really hyped me up!

The thing I want to make this clear on this review, which is why I gave it "Mixed Feelings" despite rating it a 7 is because the whole experience made me feel weird. It wasn't the regular Inazuma Eleven we are used to, but it also brings a lot of lore, which is great for people who don't like the formula of Inazuma. The balance between good and bad characters, good and bad matches, good and bad plot points, etc. is also one of the reasons I'm giving it mixed feelings. This anime made me feel weird, despite enjoying a lot of matches!

This is one of the few times that I'd wish MAL had half grades so I could give this a 7,5/10. Chrono Stone is definitely in a void between good and very good.

Preliminary (8/51 eps)

Irrational (even for Inazuma), stupid (even for Inazuma), and campy (even for Inazuma). It has a needlessly confusing plot that keeps twisting into sideplots like a puppy on cocaine. An inbred puppy. The main plot is confusing enough, involving time travel and parallel timelines. We don't need random missions like going back in time to break Tsurugi's brother's spine (seriously) so that the proper timeline can return. Or when they need to fight to restore the team's love of soccer. Or when they get magically summoned to an island to get help from the soccer god in the middle of an oddly interrupted battle with ... the enemy. I'm pretty sure there are times when the writers forgot what was going on too because the plot shifts gave me whiplash.

Random sums up this show pretty well. Random characters show up to help with no explanation given (Including a talking teddy bear. Yeah). Random abilities and techniques appear unexplained only to fail. No set up appears needed anymore. When they do set it up it seems half-hearted. There's a new technique called mixi-max which is introduced when the teddy bear lets out a T-Rex and then gives it's power to some dude. Characters simply know things they couldn't possibly know with no explanation given. And the new Avatar Armed just gives them the opportunity to put on silly dresses in overlong animations that don't get shortened even in flashbacks. The battles are short and uninteresting, the characters keep getting switched, the plot is a mess, and the new characters are annoying. But most serious of all its flaws: it just isn't fun.

Now quit it guys. You're making soccer cry.
