The main character, Endou Mamoru, is a very talented goalkeeper and the grandson of one of the strongest goalkeepers in Japan, who died before he was born. Even though his skills are incredible his school lacks a real soccer club as the 6 other members don't appear very interested even in training. But as soon as a mysterious forward called Gouenji moves to Endou's town, the young goalkeeper sets out to find and recruit members for his soccer team.
This anime is one of the best I've seen. And It's not that I have 8 or 10 years like some people say. This anime isn't for children only; it gots a big potential of education and entertainment all mixed together.
It's not boring, or childish only because it's main story is Football. NO.
At first I didn't like soccer, Indeed I hate it. But now... It's totally different, I also like to see real soccer matches and all that. At first I thought of this anime "WTF?" But then... I gave it a chance and I'm so lucky I did.
And I'm surprised of myself that I choosed This anime over One piece or Bleach. Not saying it's better than them, but it's my favorite.
And also another thing: This anime ISN'T anything alike with Captain Tsubasa. I liked that show but I prefer this one because the animation and the story line are more Ficctional and not so real-like, Captain Tsubasa was kinda like more of a 'real' thing.
