Giant Killing
Synopsis, screenshots, recommendations ~ Add Recommendations Discuss individual episodes and first impressions of this anime here; reviews and final impressions should be posted in the Anime Reviews Forum. Post format and full rules can be found here. __________________________________________ Seems alright. I haven't really watched a sports anime, so I'm going to give this show a chance. Seems like it might get really good near the end. The OP was interesting. I never heard a Japanese celtic punk band before.

Re: Giant Killing
I love how much sports anime this season has. And this one looks pretty solid - we've seen plenty of genius forwards, playmakers or keepers in many shows, but a genius manager - now that's quite fresh.

Re: Giant Killing
it's an interesting concept... i think I'll like it, though I'm not much of a fan of either soccer or the art (which looked rather old school, low budget)
that said... a good story can make up for lame art, so I'll give it some time.

Re: Giant Killing
I agree. I don't care for the animation, but if the story is good, I wouldn't care. I used to like soccer when I was a kid, but once I stopped playing I lost interest. Maybe this will spark an interest for me.

Re: Giant Killing
I don't usually watch sports anime (not that I don't like them or anything, I just usually find other things more appealing), but I think this one has oodles of promise. I especially like the OP, and find the animation sort of charming ( hatched shading = <3 ), though it's odd for japanese people to be drawn with those sorts of noses, as such stylistic choices usually mean the character is western.

Re: Giant Killing
Yea, it definitely did have some strange animation. I liked the concept too, a bit predictable, but then again it's hard not to be when it's a sports anime. Definitely look forward to more.

Re: Giant Killing
I have no interest really in soccer but it's not a bad show. It's keeping my interest pretty well actually, but I'm open to sports anime as a whole. The animation does have an older style, but you get used to it quickly. I think it's going to turn out pretty well.
