Preliminary (20/24 eps)
I've seen moderate hype around this anime and was wondering - so I gave it a watch.

oh boy I didn’t expect the hellfire I got myself into. However, the most insane thing to me is the score. I truly can’t wrap my head around on why this anime is rated highly. Maybe this is just me going insane, but let me explain my point of view:

The entire premise is nonsensical. You know what doesn’t go well together? Football and Singleplayer Battle Royale. It has some promising ideas in isolation, but these shouldn’t be mixed. It’s like eating Nutella with KFC. You can do that, but by all means, you shouldn’t.

But it could still be executed decently - right?

I knew this show was going to be bad the moment the “mastermind” showed himself. This got to be one of the cringiest dudes in anime history. Feel free to watch the first two episodes and tell me that this is not the most cringe, down bad, pseudo-evil character in recent memory. He overstays his welcome so much in fact, that I visually wince every time this guy shows up.

The plot and story are weak. The main MC and the other "handsome" football-boys are unbearable. Noone has a brain, all tropes, all visuals catered towards fanservice; there is literally nothing of any substance. Sound I don't care about, animation is mid to horrific at points, everything around this anime is at maximum a 4 out of 10. How is THIS, as of writing this review, so highly rated. I can't understand. No matter how I look at it, no matter how much I give it the benefit of the doubt, I just can't find a goddamn answer.

Oh, and the pure DOPAMINE OF CRINGE I GOT WATCHING THIS... People, FOOTBALL PLAYERS, talk about their inner demon telling them where to shoot and apparently Ronaldo has one aswell... SIUUUUU!

I get it, you do not always want a deep story, people have guilty pleasures, I myself like anime that objectively could be considered "bad", but THIS shouldn't be a standard for a good show.
