Review of Giant Killing
This anime is as genuine as it could get when it comes to animation modulation of football world. It really provided a realistic image of the professional football and tackled every aspect in sports from players, coaching staff, management, and fans with absolute purity. Tatsumi is a very interesting character with a unique personality and a strange sense of humor and work ethics. You will not get bored easily as every team ETU encounters add up many different yet very entertaining characters. The challenges rookie coach Tatsumi and ETU have to overcome just to survive in the top-flight Jleague just adds-up to the intensity of theshow.
The pace of the series and the gap between every match is well-calculated, and
I really liked the idea of having the foreign head-coaches and players speak their native tongue. It added a touch of creativity to the work.
Giant Killing is definitely a must-watch for any sport fan, and besides Hajime no Ippo, there isn't and there won't be many sports anime that could match this high quality of a work.
