Inazuma Eleven

While other schools in Japan compete for the title of being the best soccer team in the country, Raimon Middle School's soccer club, Inazuma Eleven, struggles to rise from the verge of being disbanded. The grandson of Inazuma Eleven's first generation goalkeeper and captain of the team, Mamoru Endou, takes the challenge of kicking the long neglected club back into shape. To do this, he'll need a little help and more than a little luck.

Mamoru Endou finds hope in the hands of Shuuya Gouenji, a brilliant young player who has given up on soccer. Mamoru is determined to get Shuuya and other new recruits to join his team, no matter what the cost. Is his passion and determination enough to treat the ailing club? Or is there no more hope for the team?

This is my first anime review.

Inazuma eleven is based in a game series by Level-5.

I liked the Story, is a great plot with a big variety of characters and unrealistic attacks. But... it has some differences respect the version of the original game.

The art is great, especially in the shoots and attacks.

The Sound is composed for Yasunori Mitsuda, he did a good job in this, and sound effects are awesome.

... I really loved this anime beacuse is really emotional in occasions and others funny or many more.
Inazuma Eleven values the meaning of friendship and teamwork.

Mixed Feelings

Inazuma Eleven is what you would expect from a kids' sport Anime. Full of sparks and over-the-top flashy moves, but little to none substance or story depth. I'm totally not against the characters having super powers, but when this overused feature starts damaging the actually good on-going action, it doesn't work for me. The characters can apparently freeze time or increase the length of the soccer/football field so they can do one of their signature techniques (which makes no sense by the way, it just alter how strong the shoot will be, apart from some few dribble moves). I was also bothered by the repetitive ... formula that the anime kept after the first arc. After awhile, the final scores of the matches became futile as we all knew our heroes would emerge triumphant. I found myself urging for something unexpected to happen, but everything was just painfully predictable.

The Anime, however, kept me insterested into it because of how amusingly absurd it was. I also enjoy this touring around style, so I got that going for me.

Not Recommended

Preliminary (2/127 eps)

Story:

I couldn't watch past the second episode of this Anime. The story has a major problem in the “willing suspense of disbelief” department. The idea of the soccer players having super powers just didn't sit well with me as I was watching this. Now, I'm not saying you can't add the fantastical element of super powers to an Anime, but this Anime honestly took things too far. You're given a bunch of really cool “super power moves” in the second episode and there is no build up to the idea. I also know that this is supposed to be a little kids show and ... I can see why it would appeal to the intended audience. However, I also dislike the idea of treating kids like they are simple minded and couldn't grasp a more complex series.

Art:

The art in my opinion is horrible. When people read this part, they may very well think I am refering to the style that is used for this Anime. I actually have seen other Anime shows that share similar elements to Inazuma Eleven and I have to say they are better animated and far less jarring then what I saw here. It was almost as if the person who came up with the character designs really didn't try. There is no consistency in the style either and it is all over the place. There is nothing appealing about the art work except for the characters there is more focus on.

Sound:

Inazuma Eleven's strong point is the sound and that isn't saying much. I absolutely love the opening line of the opening lyrics. And then there is nothing else that is memorable. Actually, I kind of wanted the umph for that opening line to run through the entire Anime, but it simply didn't.

Characters:

The characters are horrible. I know I've only watched two episodes and people will likely tell me it is to early to judge. The truth is though, the characters are really obnoxious Gary Stues. I felt like I was reading a bad fanfic for one of the better soccer Anime out there rather then a show that could stand on its own. I mean, its even got your pre-teen/teenager angst which is so annoying in fanfiction because it is just not at all realistic.

Enjoyment:

I did not enjoy this Anime at all. I might come back and give it a second chance later on, but the honest truth is I was rather disgusted with what I saw in this Anime's first two episodes. I'd rather go and pick up a different sports Anime because this really doesn't cut it.

Overall:

I suggest not picking this up. The first two episodes were boring and had indicators that the show was overly repetitive.
