As a fan of the series for over 9 years i still belive that this is an absolute masterpiece ,
this anime made my childhood , it has one of the best characters ever written , an amazing soundtrack , a great story line , a beautiful art style and a really good animation for an 18 years old anime .
In my opinion Inazuma eleven is one of the best game adaptation anime in history almost every single detail from the first 3 inazuma eleven games were put in this show
not only that but the gameplay from those games is also very well shown in this anime.
Besides that inazuma has aged incredibly well and it never had any controversy.
The only real flaw that inazuma has is the english dub beacuse its just terrible but other then that its perfect
Ps. Surprisingly the first 26 episodes have an…

i have known inazuma eleven for a long time; it was the first show i watched on tv. when i was a little kiddo, i recall going up the stairs at school while singing the opening. as i got older, i forgot about the show, but years ago, the title popped up in my mind and i began to binge-watch it!
most people think that ie is a show made for people who like football, but i disagree. inazuma eleven is not only a football show, it shows you the value of friendship and how the characters bond while playing. there are a lot of characters to love or hate... i believe that inazuma eleven is a must-watch anime. you will enjoy it so much. even if it doesn't look like it, this series has a deep plot.

5 sentence review:
Moves are cool and the characters that matter are also cool.
Football but dragon ball z is a very cool concept.
Powerscaling is so bad that it's funny.
Show has its moments of genuine sadness that made me feel emotions, yes even though it's just a "kid's show"
It struggles in adapting some post game content of the OG games, particularly in season 3, but other than it's absolutely GOATed.
My favourite was Byron Love (Aphrodite) Random thoughts:
Mark Evans motivates to be a better person in real life and I just think that's beautiful.
If I ever have a son in the future, I'm gonna introduce him to do this show to become a football genius so that he becomes a professional and he'll make me famous. He probably won't even be upset when he finds out about the scheme cuz of ju…

It was just a normal day when I was 8 years old until I watched the first episode of Inazuma Eleven on RedeTV's TV Kids program. The year 2010 was one of the most memorable of my childhood, and this anime became a huge source of nostalgia for that era, which I remember fondly. I won’t lie, i miss these days, rewatching some episodes still brings a tear to my eye as I think about those times, lived fully but never to return. For a while, there was some hesitation about Inazuma Eleven due to the success of Captain Tsubasa. However, it not only stepped out of that “shadow” but also secured its own place in the spotlight, completely innovating the sports anime genre. Its charming characters, each with unique abilities, united by their passion for soccer, make the anime captivating, But that’s…

Just as Pokémon has done, Inazuma Eleven undoubtedly marked the childhood of many kids from the 2000s. Many of us probably watched the episodes on TV when we were younger and had a great time. But with a more mature perspective, is Inazuma Eleven really that good?
The first saga of "Inazuma Eleven" is composed of three arcs/seasons:
-1: Royal Academy/Football Frontier | EP 1 - 26
-2: Alius Academy | EP 27 - 67
-3: Football Frontier International | EP 68 - 127
Let's start with the first 26 episodes. If you only know Inazuma Eleven from a distance and have never really been interested in it, this is probably the part you have in mind. This large introductory arc revolves around the Royal Academy, allowing us to discover the characters, their personalities, and the universe. It’s a solid in…

Insanely good epic fiction construction.
A never disappointing story considering a non-exhaustive main character. Epic masterpiece everyone should watch it at least 0.5 times!!
If you do not enjoy it then your opinion must be slightly wrong -_-.
The anime strongly advertises a never surrender position while mantaining a considerable fast pace throughout the story.
Solid developed characters with a strong team spirit. Not as much plot twists as in Neymar's career but still good to give it a go!
Some crazy abilities are revealed throughout the series and team spirit is unrivaled! Of course that there are some stepbacks from the original goal but what makes this series unique is how they get over those same stepbacks together and stronger as ever.
Extremely epic content!

Inazuma Eleven stands tall as a timeless classic, a beacon of nostalgia and inspiration that continues to captivate audiences with its boundless energy and unwavering spirit. As a fervent admirer of this remarkable series, I can attest to its enduring appeal and unmatched brilliance in the realm of sports anime.
From the moment I first laid eyes on this masterpiece I was entranced by its electrifying action, endearing characters, and heartfelt storytelling. The series effortlessly blends the thrill of soccer with elements of friendship, determination, and teamwork, creating a captivating narrative that resonates with viewers of all ages.
As a child, I was drawn to the vibrant world of "Inazuma Eleven," where dreams were chased, bonds were forged, and victories were earned through sheer d…

This show is a masterpiece. To me, at least.
I, of course, have some nostalgic bias. I grew up watching Inazuma Eleven on the TV with my brothers when I was very young, and it's something we still bond over now as adults. So, here's my review with as little bias as I can manage.
Plot - 9/10
The plot of this show is solid. It's grounded in reality without being boring. For an innocent-looking sports anime, it gets surprisingly real and deep and dark. The story is gripping and you really do end up cheering for these teams, especially after you go through so much with them. It's entertaining and deep, there are high highs and low lows. Never EVER a dull moment. There are twists, and backstories, and developments, and mysteries, and...my god.
World-Building - 8/10
As with the plot, the wo…

It's very good I used to think soccer was boring before I watched this, I love all the characters(mostly Shirou) the dramatic scenes and stories of each character is amazing and I like the action and friendship towards everyone. I say to watch it it's my favorite anime and If you like shonen/digimon/sport animes watch it! I thought the football frontier was interesting seeing other countries compete. I learned many things about soccer and makes me play it. Shows you practice and hard working is part of life. It felt like I was watching a soccer soap opera. If you love energetic/serious/adorable guys it's for you. The girls weren't annoying like in most animes they helped and tried their best for the team. The music is amazing and I suggest you listen to ryuusei boy or the 7th ending. All o…

7-year old me thought this was the best show ever, so that is why I’m giving this a 10. Sneaking downstairs at the crack of dawn to watch this… it really takes me back. Then I rediscovered it five years later or something on my Nintendo 2DS. Ah watching those episodes deep in the night while burning my eyes because the brightness wouldn’t go any lower. Haha I still do that today with other anime.
I’m afraid that if I watch the show now, I’d notice how ridiculous the show actually is, so I’m preserving the memory of it being the best sh!t I’d ever seen at the time.
10/10 for the childhood memories
PS: Axel was my favourite:))

Inazuma Eleven holds a big spot in my heart
This review will be completely biased, so be aware of that haha
I found this anime back in 2011, and have rewatched it almost anually ever since, and it not I went throughcthe 6 main games in order
To say I love this franchise would be an understatement
Inazuma Eleven is an anime with amazing characters and a very good plot
Animation is always on point, some of the special moves got me jumping around back in the day!
The story is written very well with giving most characters at least one moment to shine, the character of fubuki shirou is in my eyes still one of the best written characters in anime
Inazuma isn't scared to tread darker territories, and it fits perfectly within the story and even the more slice of life parts in the story make my h…

My first sports anime, that shattered my belief that animes based on sports are boring. It sure was anything but boring. It initially starts off when the protagonist is presented with a big challenge and he has to overcome it, all the while there is this sense of something ominous lurking behind the scenes. The anime does not disappoint on that and gives a good storyline for that. I've watched plenty of animes from various genres and the storyline seemed fairly unique.
SOUNDTRACKS:
They were surprisingly good. Most of them went so well with the current scenes being presented. The openings were good too, not all of them, but a fair number of them were epic.
CHARACTER DESIGN:
Well, the characters are a bit weirdly designed, and sometimes it just feels odd, however, that is not to say tha…

When I first watched this anime I was probably around 6 years old. This anime is also the reason I started playing football and eventually join a football club. The story is if you watch good not bad actually. The art for that time is not bad either. I enjoyed it so much and the special techniques are also a fun twist to add within football. It’s something different from your usual sports anime, and that’s what I like about it too. I am just a big fan of the series, because I like the story, the characters and the vibe it gave while watching it.

Before I begin, I want to disclose my biases towards Inazuma Eleven. First off, it's been with me for a huge chunk of my childhood. Second, it's always number one in my heart. My personal stuff aside, I whole heartily recommend this 127 series because within its seemingly childish formulaic soccer storyline lies a story with a heart of gold.
The story is straight forward and well done. Its arcs reveal a level of progression as the characters grow in skill and character. The soccer matches are always exciting, with pretty decent character drama. Inazuma Eleven shows the importance of having passion and something to believe in. With friends by your side and something you love, you can do almost anything you put your mind to. The super power aspect of the show is also very exciting and I get…

Ive watched whole series 2 times. One of them was when i got into adulthood and the first one was when i was rly young. When i first saw it, i was intrigued especially by Gouenji who was looking badass in the 2nd episode. Idea of hisstatsu things is awesome. I don't like football but these magical things and ideas of kicks were mesmerizing for me. Soundtrack and openings are awesome, the positivness that they carry in them is the best.
Well about story line... it is good but the 2nd arc with aliens doesnt make any sense for me. "The best team on Earth" maybe in Japan but not on Earth what theyve proved in 3rd arc, where they were going internationally and who watched it knows what doesnt click there for me.
I love 3 main characters, Endou for me is a littlebit too positive and others espe…

Ah, Inazuma Eleven this sure brings back memories. I grew up watching this show, but I never really watched it, I am talking about how I have seen most of the episodes but I never really followed it. Untill now, I watched the anime in its full glory, and it didn't dissapoint! So today I shall share my opinion and thoughts on this anime that I myself consider a classic. Lastly for the sake of this review I will use the subbed names of the characters and not the dubbed names.
Story 7/10: So the story is just your average underdog sports story. We follow the likes of Endou Mamoru and his school team Raimon. In the first episode we get straight into the good stuff. They have to face off against the strongest team in the competition Royal Academy and if they lose thei…

'm not enjoying Ares at all
I can't help but facepalm every minute
I'll start by talking about the things I like though : Chou Kunin is funny, I like him....I guess that's actually it.
The series is so fast-paced. We barely see the characters train, to see their strengths, the efforts they have to go through in o…

Inazuma Eleven is what you would expect from a kids' sport Anime. Full of sparks and over-the-top flashy moves, but little to none substance or story depth. I'm totally not against the characters having super powers, but when this overused feature starts damaging the actually good on-going action, it doesn't work for me. The characters can apparently freeze time or increase the length of the soccer/football field so they can do one of their signature techniques (which makes no sense by the way, it just alter how strong the shoot will be, apart from some few dribble moves). I was also bothered by the repetitive formula that the anime kept after the first arc. After awhile, the final scores of the matches became futile as we all knew our heroes would emerge triumphant. I found myself urging…

In December of 2015, I decided to pick a bunch of non- seasonal anime that I wanted to watch alongside the Winter 16 anime season. One of these series was Inazuma Eleven.
Now I went into this anime with very low expectations due to the fact that I don't like sports that much plus some of my least favourite sports are football, boxing volleyball and baseball. So I was expected to hate this anime because of it. As again I don't like sports that much and honestly I was expecting to kinda hate this anime. Was I wrong in my personal judgement or I am right?
Story.
The story in Inazuma Eleven follows a cheerful goalkeeper captain named Endou Mamoru who is looking for members to join the Raimon Soccer Club. However due to Raimon Soccer Club only having 6 players the student body council presiden…

I picked up this show because I wanted something that wasn't too heavy, and was enjoyable and lighthearted. And that's exactly what this was. Though silly at times, the essence of this show is something that was created purely for the enjoyment of children. This show achieved just that. A plot that was easy to follow, lovable characters with distinct personalities, and super-cool and flashy powers. Too often I see shows that fail at doing these things and end up being trashy, but Inazuma Eleven manages to capture this spirit perfectly.
The fact that this show was sponsored by two large companies, P&G and McDonalds, ensured that there was no lack of budget. This means that the art and animation were flawless. I can't tell you how many times I've rewinded and replayed 3-second intervals of…
