So though there is a bit more latitude (youвЂ™d thinkвЂ¦) to stretch things outside an adultвЂ™s belief, a younger personвЂ™s entertainment has room to fling around reality. I started watching knowing this show was aimed at younger teenage boys. So, why is this show that is simply a tournament fighter using sports so special? Why is this show that is aimed at young boys half my age (has it been that long? Wow IвЂ™m oldвЂ¦) one of the best pieces of entertainment IвЂ™ve seen in a while?ДЇirst, my expectations are set based on the audience. ItвЂ™s a show that encourages teamwork, love for one another, and overcoming trials through dedication and honesty. Get stronger, play in matches, overcome difficulties, and get stronger. ItвЂ™s actually a pretty basic plot and progression.ДЄnd for that, it shines.

ThatвЂ™s about all I summarize for the plot of the show. The show centers around him as his team plays various soccer matches, progress through the world, and meet new friends, teammates, rivals, and villains.

Endou is the central character to Inazuma, a boy who loves taking on strong teams, never, ever gives up, and is a goalkeeper. Hot-blooded, kiai (spirit, as in put some spirit into it), never-give-up, various words for all the same basic feel. The genres this falls under are some of my favorites. Yes, Inazuma Eleven has those вЂњaliensвЂќ and super-powers and evil people that really need to get whatвЂ™s coming to them. But they add twists, like super-powers, aliens, people who want to control the world through sports, etc., to make it more than just a simple soccer show. Hungry Heart: Wild Striker is one of my older favorites. Japan loves making sports anime, and there are plenty of soccer-themed ones. ItвЂ™s based off a role-playing game, which is apparent when you watch it.ДЇirst off, this isnвЂ™t your average soccer. Inazuma Eleven is a Shounen (young boys genre), hot-blooded, tournament/progressive, super-powers, soccer-based anime. High boys, 13-15.ДЄnd one of the best pieces of entertainment IвЂ™ve seen in a while, though IвЂ™ll have to explain why. One hundred and twenty-seven episodes down.
