I liked this anime so much at the beginning. What I loved in this anime is the realism eventhough Furuya triplets’ talents are a bit exaggerated. The tactics shown in this anime are all based on the tactics used by Japanese players in 2012 olympics. But as the episodes progresses, the realism slowly started fading as the Reika character losing weight within a short period of time looked like a joke to me. It would take atleast one month for a fat person to become slim. One month is a bare minimum I guess. But here it seems the time taken for her to lose weight is probably even less which is not realistic.
And in the later episodes of the series, the futute cup tournament is shown very well. Especially the match between Momoyama Predators and New Tokyo FC Amarillo is shown very intense. But after that the episodes are not that good. Basically it felt like the anime has already ended after that match. The galaxia cup is not given importance and in the end, it was revealed that the tournament is not their target in the first place whereas playing with professional players is their target which is absolutely a joke. As much as I loved this anime, the last two episodes annoyed me to the hell. Grade schoolers defeating professional players, pro players acting immature, seriously I don’t know what to say on this. I don’t know whether to get angry or laugh at these things. Atleast they should have shown imaginary players but they had shown real life players instead. I wonder how much Ronaldo fans got angry by the last 2 episodes. Reika advising the pro players on how to enjoy football literally made me laugh. And the Epilogue of the anime is really satisfying.
My overall thoughts about this anime is, except for the last 2 episodes, the anime is really good. I felt like they should have given importance to Galaxia cup tournament no natter whether they win or lose. And this stupid thing of facing pro players completely destroyed the realism in the anime. Weight loss in a short period, MC father setting up stall in football stadium without permission, they should have avoided these unrealistic jokes. Other than that, this is a really good anime. My score is 6/10. Please comment me your thoughts. Thank you.
Note: I won’t recommend Ronaldo fans to watch this anime. If you want to watch this, please avoid the last 2 episodes except for the epilogue.
I thought of adding poster image of this anime but the automoderator is not allowing me to do so.
