Days (Anime) add (All reviews)
Oct 10, 2022
I'm writing a review for this show because it deserves WAY MORE HYPE!! It's crazy to me how I found out about this show by doing a deep search on Google when looking for a new sports anime to watch while waiting for Blue Lock. This definitely can be considered a top 10 sports anime (just from the ones I've seen, like Haikyuu, Free, Bakuten!, Kuroko's Basketball, Run with the Wind, Sk8 Infinity, etc.)

I loved this show sooo much! I'll start by addressing what people may consider negative first. Yes, it may have a lot of typical sports anime tropes, but that's what makes this show so fun and special in my opinion! It handles the tropes so well, and is that not the reason why we love sports anime? The skillful quiet character, the third-year leader, the journey the team goes through while team building, it's great. Days is a 10/10 because it keeps you interested the entire time. I never got bored or uninterested, I actually binged it in a few days.

The characters are what make this show so pleasant to watch. There was not one character that I did not like. The MCs - I loved Kazuma, the insanely good first-year star player who was quiet and cool, yet surprisingly really funny. and Tsukushi - the sweet and innocent beginner who found his love for soccer through his new friend Kazuma (can I just mention I loved their friendship, it actually felt authentic which is hard for some sports anime to pull off). The only major con I had for this show was I felt Tsukushi's growth was very slow, but at the same time it felt natural? When you think about it, a first year who's never played soccer isn't just going to come out and be a star. So, while some may criticize our MC for not being the best player, which I can understand, I thought it worked with the storyline. Tsukushi's struggle to learn soccer allowed us to really enjoy other characters outside of the MC, which I thought made the show more complex in a good way.

Characters like Kimishita, Mizuki, Usui, Ooshiba, Kurusu, Ubukata were all so great. Even the coach and other rival teams were great and essential to the plot. I just really enjoyed this anime. It was also very hilarious; I loved the team bonding episodes and the humor never felt forced. I just wish we got more than 24 episodes; I really do. MAPPA did a great job animating the soccer matches in my opinion and the flow of the storyline goes smoothly. There are some things that occurred that I wish were explained more with certain characters personal lives, but again because there's only one season, I'm fine with it.

Give this show a watch!! You will not regret it! It's funny, entertaining, and you'll find yourself really liking the characters as well :)
