The match between South Africa and Mexico just ended with a 1-1 score. The first half was quite boring but fortunately, the pace picked up in the second half. To commemorate the start of World Cup 2010, I am going to review about a football anime which I recently started watching. It's called
Inazuma Eleven! It's an adaptation of a soccer RPG for the Nintendo DS.
Inazuma Eleven is a pretty enjoyable series. Even though the action is over-exaggerated and too unrealistic, it's surprisingly fun to watch. It has a comedic feel to it and this makes the over-exaggerations more fun, cute and acceptable.
Inazuma Eleven is an ongoing series with 85 episodes to date, out of which, 64 episodes are subbed.I think
Inazuma Eleven is quite popular in Japan as the July issue of Shogakukan's Monthly CoroCoro Comic magazine will be announcing next Tuesday that a movie version of the
Inazuma Eleven game franchise has been green-lit for this winter.
Characters: The characters are what I like best about
Inazuma Eleven. Almost all the players have their own hissatsu waza (certain kill techniques). Though the hissatsu waza are over-the-top and totally unrealistic, it's funny to see how the players work hard to improve or learn new hissatsu waza.Here are some characters I like:
Gouenji - he's the coolest character in
Inazuma Eleven!
Kidou - I love his character development! I also love his cloak. It makes him look like a hero!!
Endou - he behaves like Naruto (the never-give-up spirit!) and he shares the same voice actor as Naruto! =.=
Fubuki - he has 2 personalities. I like his badass personality more!
Tsunami - I love his easy-going personality!
Hiroto - he's a relatively new character but he has a certain cool factor!
