In Giant Killing a ragtag bunch from East Tokyo are struggling in Japan's top football league. The team is going through an abysmal spell right now where they are nearing the bottom of the table and have lost 5 matches in a row. The loses haven't done much to team moral, because it was already low. Fan support, on the other hand, is looking bleak. In the world of football, once the fans turn on a team the end is near. Teams don't recover. Coaches are fired, players are sold, and teams drop to smaller divisions where profits often prevent them from ever being successful against even mediocre top division programs. East Tokyo United, ETU, can only blame their coach right now. And Coach is ready to give up this next game to prove to his team and fans, that against the biggest club in the nation he can make this team win.

Writing this review not even half way through the series, i must say my favorite thing about the show is the animation. Unlike having a style of Naruto or One-piece, your typical styles, giant killing brings an american-comic feel to the era of anime.
Unlike most sports anime, this show does not have players with superb skills. Theyre just your average people, nothing special about them. The coach however, is "rumored" to be one of the all time greats.
The story is a bit slow. The main problem with it i that most of the time is dialogue and not the actualy game.
This anime is not one of the all time greats, but there is not a flaw in the show that could cause people to hate it. If you have the time, this anime is worth it
