The plot continues where it left off, Tsubasa and some of his teammates joins up with the rest of the Japanese national team in Paris, France, where they play in several matches in preparation for the International Junior Youth Tournament to face off against worlds best national teams.
Captain Tsubasa season 2 junior youth hen suffers from stiff movements, rubbish animation, bad art composition, average sound design and 'imo' is one of the worst adaptations of this franchise so far. The matches lack fluidity, characters move awkwardly and the overall direction is not at the usual standard. It's 2023 and this adaptation is bland in comparison to previous seasons.
The show's presentation is mediocre, you're easily disconnected from events happening directly on screen thus, it creates a lack of engagement and interest. The matches are half baked and boring visually, characters lack so much details especially in moving scenes. Captain Tsubasa 2018 done by David Production was objectively better in all technical aspects which made it a decent watch whilst the current studio have butchered it.
It's really a shame that what made many childhoods globally is done and dusted in this manner, although older releases had technical limitations, they poured more soul and passion behind them. e.g captain tsubasa 1983, Captain tsubasa J & Captain tsubasa road to 2002.
It pains me deeply to see yet another beloved classic childhood series get this kind of treatment similar to what Toei did to dragon ball & Digimon in recent years. All in all, only watch this season for nostalgia purposes. Captain Tsubasa Season 2: Junior Youth-hen is yet again an another case of a bare bones reboot.
