Victory Kickoff!! · review
Okay, so let's get this started, shall we? I haven't done too many reviews so spare with me here. A football anime that's unique from others would be a way to describe Ginga e Kickoff. It actually had the potential to be a 8 or even a 9 but why is it a 7? Well, read ahead. The story is indeed quite unique and the main character isn't overpowered like in other soccer animes but guess what? Other players are overpowered twice as much to make up for it. I wouldn't mind just strong kids but we have a kid here who can force otherkids to make Own goals and a 9-10 year old with PERFECT accuracy near the goal post, in elementary school. The characters aren't exactly the most likable either. There is at least one mention of being the Best in the galaxy every episode and i thought of quitting it several times, because frankly, it gets annoying. The beauty of this show would be that it's not just for kids. It's a show ABOUT kids becoming the best but people of all ages can enjoy it. All in all, it could have been better if they made the 10 year old kids less overpowered or if they didn't try to use the sympathy card in an innocent anime near the end, (can't spoil it) but it was worth the time. The growth of the MC is good, and if they actually focused on him a little more it would have been a lot better but I still would recommend it to others.
