![]() That’s why it’s nice to have a soccer anime that’s specifically about a group of friends. They all attend the extremely new Kakegawa High due to the presence of Kubo Yoshiharu, an incredible player who as a freshman managed to take Kakegawa’s soccer club to the top 8 in the prefecture practically by himself!įar too many soccer stories focus on a single individual’s influence on an entire team. Now it’s time for high school, and they just won’t let go of their past glory. The three were joined by their junior high school’s soccer club and created a formidable trio as a result. That’s certainly the case for Tanaka Toshihiko, Shiraishi Kenji, and Hiramatsu Kazuhiro. Some best friends are totally inseparable. There are bits of drama underneath the gags dealing with Aoyama’s disorder, however, so it’s not all just wacky hijinks. It’s mostly played up for laughs, though, and serves as a nice introduction for younger anime fans just discovering irreverent humor. But Keppeki Danshi manages this just by virtue of its hero having a fully developed social disorder. After all, there have been so many stories told about soccer, that it’s tough to find any new ground. It’s hard to find a unique take on soccer anime nowadays.

Aoyama, in fact, suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and cannot deal with even a speck of dirt on him. There’s just one problem he’s too perfect. Many children of the 80s still very fondly remember the show and was a gateway series for many older European fans to get into anime!Īoyama is the perfect human. That doesn’t mean that Ganbare! Kickers is bad, though! In fact, Ganbare! Kickers is a rare anime that has survived over the years thanks almost exclusively to European fans or more specifically, German fans. Ganbare! Kickers was made when Captain Tsubasa’s popularity was white hot and everybody was wanting a piece of the pie. If the plot summary sounds a bit like a certain other, incredibly influential soccer anime that has the words “Captain” and “Tsubasa” in it… you’re not really wrong. Now the Kickers have begun their underdog story and hope to at least beat their biggest rivals, the Devils! After tasting defeat for so long, the team’s new player with a “can-do attitude”, Kakeru Daichi, starts to turn things around. As a result, the kids have started internalizing their failure as a lack of talent. ![]() Ī sequel television series that adapts the final arc of the manga, titled Thousand-Year Blood War, premiered on October 11, 2022.Even for elementary school students, the Kickers aren’t exactly a very good team. 32 DVD compilations of the English adaptation of the series have been released by Viz Media, and twenty six season boxsets have been released that contain all the seasons of the anime.
