It started with Shou, our main character, an elementary student soccer player meeting Erika, a transfer student whose ability in playing soccer succeeds Shou in many levels. From asking her to play with him and then miraculously meeting a female professional soccer player, Shou then strives on to bring back the Moroyama soccer team with its old and new members and a better coach that can accepts all of the players, both in personality and skills.
Story wise it is (9/10), the team does not just strives to win a competition, but to become the number one in the galaxy. Very exaggerated and impossible to achieve, but the team put fire and determination behind that dream that makes us cheer for them as they grow, skill wise and also in teamwork as some of the characters are not the easiest to get along to.
Characters (9/10):
This anime is played with two team, half with 11 players and the other half with 8 players. All are determined but distinct from each other, they mesh very well. Shou, our main character, loud and brash but given a flaw that makes him just what he is, a child, but he grows to be better and the most notable characters are the triplets for the are, in my opinion, the most complex characters. And c'mon, they are triplets. Every characters are different from each other and is given the time to grow.
Art: (9/10)
Nothing to be awed for but the players are all in elementary students, and the anime did a good job on making them look like one with it's simple but cute design and flat coloring. This anime is not like kuroko no basket or inazuma eleven, there is no special out-of-the-world moves, all they used is normal soccer skills that is not exaggerated and kept very simple and easy to understand what's going on. The animation is clean and flows very well.
Sound: (8/10)
Once again, the soundtrack is not popping out but flows smoothly with the anime. The opening and ending has some catchy songs but isn't anything of much praise. The voice acting is done perfectly for they doesn't sound awkward and is just right for the characters.
Overall: (9/10)
Enjoyable with wonderful and believable story with good pacing and good characters.
