Thoughts
The first season had me hooked, I think I binge watched all of it within 2 days. I don’t even care for soccer, I don’t ever watch it or play it. Honestly, I don’t even know how the sport completely works, the rules, etc. The energy the characters and their passion for soccer was so exaggerated and silly yet it hyped me up and made me excited throughout the episodes. I even wanted to continue by reading the manga which I did for a while, but I eventually forgot about it. The 2nd season came out not too long ago, and I tried watching it. People online were comparing the animation to a powerpoint slides which I found funny and I still tried watching despite that. However, I feel like this season isn’t as engaging as the last maybe due to the animation issue. I will see if I pick it back up in the future.
