Firstly there is the premise of the show where the main character Kikeru was a football player, but being in his brothers shadow made him quit the sport and become the manager of the team instead. Eventually Kikeru goes through a ltragic event that brings his passion for the game back. I personally reallty like the premise of the anime but in my opinion the show didn't explore the story the right way and is why I give it a 7, because it most definitely had promise, but personally didn't capitalise on the promising premise.
Let me talk about the main characters Kakeru, Kakeru's brother Suguru and finally the Love interest Nana. Firstly there is the main protagonist Kakeru who I personally really liked and was most definitely the highlight of this show, but I feel like they missed out on some of the opportunties when it came to his character. Next we have Suguru who I also really like and I felt like his character was the best in the show at least from what I watched since I could only watch the first 5 episodes before I was bored. Finally we have Nana, and I am usually up for romance in any genre but this time it just felt wrong, something was off I don't know how to explain it, but I am pretty sure it is because I did not enjoy this character in the slightest and is where this show starts to lose points. Firstly her character isn't really developed from what I have seen, which is a problem since she is the main female protagonist of the show, and then the fact that I have literally seen no flaw in this character as of yet she is completely perfect and hence completely unrelatable and in this specific genre I expect good characters that do make mistakes, this character is amazing at football(soccer), she is also kind and there for everything Kakeru needs, I assume she is also smart since she knows all the technical details about football as well, she has literally shown no flaws as of yet, and I knew I had to drop it when I noticed that I was literally skipping episodes because she was in the whole episode.
Let me put this out there I like football and therefore do tend to judge this a bit more stricter than other sports anime out there.
The art and sound was really nothing special.
And as you can guess I didn't enjoy this show thanks to Nana, I might of been able to if she wasn't integral to the story of this show, but she is, so that's that
5/10
