Captain Tsubasa S1-S5

My brothers and I used to watch the old version of this anime in Iraq, so we are very familiar with it. This version is so beautifully animated and I'm so happy that they made this. I would love to hear about season two soon and continue the story until the very end. The good thing is there's a lot of demand for this and I want to thank everyone who took part in producing this beautiful show.

Captain Tsubasa is a fun anime to watch even if you don't like soccer. The usual recipe of the underdog team that goes for the top and exceeds expectations, the protagonist who overcomes himself to overcome problematic situations and exciting matches full of incredible goals, saves and spectacular skills does not disappoint. Last but not least, if he was introduced to the Captain Tsubasa franchise as a child, he will probably enjoy it even more as it might bring back some childhood memories.

This series is one of the most underrated anime shows. It's a beautifully done animation. The story is inspirational, characters are well developed, and each episode has a strong story revolving around one or two key events. Even the filler episodes contribute to the importance of the grand finale. I do wish that, towards the end, there was more inventiveness. Some things become repetitive and less new skills are introduced. The voice acting is great. The art style is amazing. The imagination of the artists is exemplary: if a shot/skill has a name, it's because it deserves a name and the animation and sound effects show it really well. The Razor shot, the Falcon shot, the Skylab Hurricane (lol), etc. There are two weaknesses to the show, however, that you'd only notice if you have seen the original anime. This show has toned down the drama in the original series. Because of that the sound track is often happy and less suspenseful. Moreover, some dramatic events in the original story have been toned down. Overall I recommend this show, if you liked Haikyu. But keep in mind this show is less about being realistic and more of an epic.
