Enjoyment
Overall the story will make one root for the characters and hope the team will win. One of the rare anime series, which I had no expectations. But ended up rooting and getting curious how the characters overcome their struggles.
Shoot! Goal to the Future! is one time watch for me. To me animes with slice of life are more rewatchable, such as K-ON!, Shin Chan, Classic Sailor Moon.
If there is a sequel or more of Shoot! Goal to the Future! I will definitely want to watch it!
Story
First episodes is getting to know more about the main character. Most of the time 1 or two episodes finishes a story and you will know more about the characters (main/side)
Sometimes one might get confused whether an episode has been skipped… but that was not the case. Once a story is finished, the nex…

Shoot! Goal to the Future is sequel to the 1993 series Aoki Densetsu Shoot! which was a fairly standard sports narrative that became defined by its major character death midway through the series. It was an interesting exploration of how a death of a renowned player affects not only his team but also his rivals on other teams denied their chances of ever getting a rematch. The story often took a turn deep into melodrama, but the emotional charge is what sets the series apart from all the dozens of no-names to champions sports narratives out there.
Shoot! the sequel takes that melodrama and throws out everything else. Characters will suddenly turn incredibly jaded and selfish after some miscommunication. Situations will bring up crazy ultimatums and resolve with lots of loud sobbing. My fa…

I had high hopes for this anime. I loved the original Aoki Densetsu Shoot and I was hoping for similar vibes from this one. Long story short, this anime is visually ok, though it seems cheap and the football matches scenes are a far cry to the original's. Also, the core of the plot is classic (turning a losing team into a winning team) but in terms of pace, storyline and characters this anime completely sucks.
It's obvious that whoever created and produced this anime had not seen the original. Even the way they are trying to address friendship as the source of football joy is ridiculous. The original anime was centered around the love for football, friendship and even romantic love, all in a very natural way. It had a captivating magic that is touching even after 28 years. In the 2022 sp…

It was expected to be better than that, especially with the new modern techniques. The animation during the matches is not good, also the story is not the best. However, there are few episodes which are very good, such as: 2, 9 and 13.
The best thing in it is that, the old charachters appear with the new generation, although two of them were just secondary.
There are also some OSTs which are very nice. I do not know if the others will enjoy it, but I did not stop watching it despite many weak points which I found, and also I am willing to see the two opposite/friend characters playing in one team.

This anime could be a 7 if the writing wasn't so bad:
-The blond guy says shoot at the end of every sentence and everyone just laughs at everything with a super annoying laugh.
-They all cry about their problems that seem to be solved just because a friend tells him to stop being sad like bruh what is happening here.
- Let's not talk about the super gay friendship, it's ok to be gay just don't force it like that you made it look like you were trying to prove a point instead of actually creating a gay character, looked super artificial.
- ENOUGH WITH THE ANNOYING LAUGHS PLS I CAN'T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH, EVERYTIME THEY LAUGHED I WANTED TO STOP WATCHING ty.
Overall the animation and the plot are not bad, only the lines of every character are horrible.

Shooto! When I'm with you, I can play better, because I love the way we work together! Be my gay buddy in soccer so that I can date you on the playing field! Can I? Please Shooto? PRETTY PLEASE???
This is a prime masterpiece example of how to destroy the semblance of the original source material, and for one, Aoki Densetsu Shoot! was at least a decent 90s soccer/football show that exemplifies its existence of anime trying anything to thrive back in its heyday.
But Goal to the Future? More like Gay to the Heartstrings, because whoever was scriptwriting this original show most likely had a penchant for BL stories in sports, he/she succeeded for the most part. Giving us all the cringefest of a soap opera that mixes both human feelings and emotions, and sports altogether to create an experie…
