Synopsis:

Raimon Middle School’s soccer club is led by the boisterous and determined Endou Mamoru. Armed with his grandfather’s notebook on special training and a fierce spirit, Endou desires to lead the team to victory; there’s just one problem: the team is weak, unskilled, and disheartened. However, when several new members come on board, including soccer star Gouenji Shuuya from Kidokawa Seishuu Middle School, things begin to look up for the team. With ruthless opponents to defeat, special moves to acquire and the Soccer Frontier tournament to win, Endou and the gang will kick and block their way to victory!

Shippu and Inazuma Eleven are both sports anime that are clearly aimed at the kiddies. While it's true that Shippu is inhabited by mostly robots and Inazuma's cast is of the human variety, each has a very childish feel and will be aimed at the same audience.

Ganbare! Kickers

Alt titles: Fight! Kickers

Ganbare! Kickers main image

Failure has a new name: the "never-winning" Kickers. Having lost every match and scored zero goals, the downtrodden soccer team can’t find a single team to play against them. With low spirits, the Kickers are on the verge of breaking up – that is, until the high-spirited and energetic Daichi joins the team! Determined and filled with hope, Daichi organizes a match against the Devils – the strongest team around – in an attempt to revitalize the Kickers and stop the breakup; and thus, the Kickers take their first steps towards a better future. For their friends, for love, for joy, and for the ball!

There aren't a lot of sports anime out there that are aimed solely at young ones; Ganbare and Inazuma Eleven are two such anime. If you liked one, try out the other.

Live On Cardliver Kakeru

Live On Cardliver Kakeru main image

Welcome to the game of Live On! In it, people known as Cardlivers use collectible cards to summon mysterious creatures for battles. One such Cardliver is Kakeru, an elementary school student who wants nothing more than to beat his friend Ai in a game. During a stroll through a park Kakeru runs across a hurt puppy named Petal and, using a card that it gives to him, transforms into a wondrous wolf and defeats the dog's would-be and sinister captors. Alongside Petal, Kakeru sets forth with his new cards to become the best Live On player around!

Admittedly, Live On Cardliver is a card battle anime while Inazuma Eleven is solely sports, but they both have a very, very similar feel and I'm almost certain they'll be enjoyed by the same audience. Each is stereotypical shounen fare with an overly eager protagonist and plenty of glorified battles (whether on the field or with monsters). Try it on for size.

Meimon! Daisan Yakyuubu

Meimon! Daisan Yakyuubu main image

Asunaro is a new student at a school with three baseball teams; the first is renowned as being one of the best in the prefecture, but the third, Asunaro’s team, is filled with the rejects and unskilled of the baseball world. As the baseball instructor deems them to be nothing but trash, he informs the team that they will be disbanded in one month – that is, until one of the players begs him to let them play a single game. They’ll be up against the first team, and if they win, they’ll get to take over the title and even work their way towards playing at Koshien Stadium. With the help of Kaido, an ex-member of the first team, Asunaro and his friends will do whatever it takes to show they’re more than meets the eye!

Inazuma Eleven and Meimon may be about different sports, but both are kid-aimed series about an underdog team that strives to make their way to the top.
