This is an original series that's based on Tsukasa Ooshima's 90s Shoot! manga that has Toei Animation's 1993-1994 series. While it has some characters from the original series making cameos, it's purely its own thing that has the same setting, but with new characters. You'll probably waste your time watching the now-dated TV series.

Yet another soccer series, but too bad it's in competition with Ao Ashi, and you can easily guess which is the better one. And the over-the-top drama starts from Hideto Tsuji, the boy whom was once a stellar player that now, doesn't want anything to do with soccer due to his haunting past, and relegating to being a NEET for a useless character.

People finding trouble with Hideto, as such with one Jo Kazama ridiculing at him with the school Kakegawa High's once-prestigious position as champions, and orders a PK-match against him, scoring goals. To all you 3 people in the know, the original series' character of Kakegawa soccer team's vice-captain Atsushi Kamiya is back, but as a coach in the school's new generation of soccer.

I can't help but feel that this anime should've been released in the mid-2000s instead and be left forgotten. A mediocre start and an absent-minded one at that.

EDIT: @LavosCracker thanks for the character clarification.

The coach is a character from the original, So its not true that ''none of the characters made it''
You dont need to watch the original but the flashbacks point out that other characters will appear

This is definitely a "so bad, it's good" kind of deal for me. Everyone is so over-the-top emotional for absolutely no reason whatsoever straight out the gate. I know it's not what they were going for, but I was just laughing hysterically through this entire episode. This anime has total funny B movie vibes. I'll keep watching as long as it's entertaining, one way or another.

Kazama is a wuss, how could you be intimidated by someone so small. No wonder Hideto scored against him, he's a weakling.

As for Hideto, I wonder what happened for him to quit soccer. It definitely had to do with his happy weird friend. Maybe the friend made some moves on him, judging by the way he hugged him there. Hmmm?🤔

Oh look, an angry kid who has some kind of hate to a sport activity that he's good at, an childhood friend that still does practice that sport, an not-that-old guy who's gonna train the team which this kiddo is gonna end anyways... It's the same formula again!

Great episode! The OP was really good! Jo got angry at Tsuji for badmouthing football xD. He took it very seriously. He also asked him to try shoot the ball into the net and asks him to have a faceoff to which Tsuji declines and gets mad about.
It seems after Tsuji's friend left the team, he couldn't score any more goals.
He accepts Jo's next challenge of soccer when he sees him but requests a penalty match match.
He scores many goals! Jo couldn't see where the ball was heading.
Kamiya is going to be the team's coach. It seems Tsuji's friend turns up as the enemy team that Kamiya called in!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Same same. It was bad in my opinion and I'm really tolerant of bad shows. But it was so bad I was laughing several times. There was no character development or even an understanding of any of the characters. Just dramatic boys.

I just watched Aoashi so my expectations are high. Didn't really liked this new series. Some scenes are way to exaggerated. Drop episode 1 sorry

This anime screams 90s from its artsyle to its tropes, which makes sense as this is a sequel to a 90s manga called Shoot!that had Toei Animation's 1993-1994 anime series. While it has some characters from the actual series making cameos, it's purely its own thing that has the similar setting,
felt like Tsuji's partner had passed away with how emotional he was getting but I am guessing he just moved away but without warning. It was kind of amusing to watch him freeze...

Straight up from the 90s, nothing tactical like ao ashi .

The original was quite heavy on (hetero) romance.
I don't understand how they dare going into BL for this one just to attract fujoshis sales...

I was a 10-year-old boy when I watched the original series. That series was brilliant and memorable, with so much drama on/off the football pitch. Judging from the first episode, I was turned off by the lame character, bullshit BL and lacklustre story. I'll continue watching this series until the 5th episode, and if it is still terrible, I'll drop it.

Can't a man grin at a school football game in peace? Heavens above.

Troubled Hideto can't quite rid of his dreaded football nightmare, to the point the word 'shoot' sets off his ptsd. What can solve this? A PK match, of course. Oh, and a legend booking a match that features his 'fap material'... eh, I mean 'ex-buddy'.

From here on out, Hideto shall be called 'Shoot'. I proclaim this so.

The mum is easily the best character. You can tell. They put the most effort into her, hehe.

If I wasn’t aware of this show and you told me this was from the 90s or early to mid 2000s, I would believe you. If the intent was to make it faithful to the original (which I’ve only learned about through the comments), then it did it’s job. If we’re taking about how the wow-factor and art style, it was definitely lacking. With Ao Ashi airing, this show won’t be poaching eyeballs of sports series fans who love compelling art that go with a tight storyline.

Even if they heavily lean on the fruity-esque aspect of MC’s relationship with his blonde friend from the past, it still wouldn’t gain that much traction since the show’s art style doesn’t stand out at all. Gunjou no Fanfare didn’t have the best story - even for a horse racing show, but at least the shippable boys looked good (assuming they weren’t riding their 😬 CGI horses), which was enough to convince me to stick it out until the very end.

As this show is building upon an older series, I can understand the nostalgia on why some would want to revive the franchise. However, with the anime industry already stretched way beyond capacity as it is, I question why a studio should pour time and resources into something this unremarkable.

With Shoot! Goal to the Future, 2022 now has three football series. The other two being Ao Ashi and the anticipated Blue Lock. However, I won’t be surprised that, even for those who do watch this, most will only remember Ao Ashi and Blue Lock in the end.
