Giant Killing

Duratrix · **Giant Killing -** 04-07-2010, 09:20 AM

Synopsis:
In Giant Killing a ragtag bunch from East Tokyo are struggling in Japan's top football league. The team is going through an abysmal spell right now where they are nearing the bottom of the table and have lost 5 matches in a row. The loses haven't done much to team moral, because it was already low. Fan support, on the other hand, is looking bleak. In the world of football, once the fans turn on a team the end is near. Teams don't recover. Coaches are fired, players are sold, and teams drop to smaller divisions where profits often prevent them from ever being successful against even mediocre top division programs. East Tokyo United, ETU, can only blame their coach right now. And Coach is ready to give up this next game to prove to his team and fans, that against the biggest club in the nation he can make this team win.

This anime will be the FIRST and most likely, ONLY sports genre anime that I'm willing to give a try

EDIT: ok... like I thought... Sports anime series completely suck, IMO =_=

Okay, don't mind sports anime and I expected much worse on first episode, guess it was fine. I'll stick with for a while.

Sport anime is epic, Major in particular...
Stoked to see a new football anime, think the last one was wild striker, and that was like 6 years ago or something

Hmm... sports anime + the synopsis wasn't all that interesting.

Hmmm... No.
I'm not gonna bother with it, unless someone says it's epic and can back that up.

I never heard of the manga watched the ep today got to say liked it im not the biggest football (soccer as they consider it in usa) fan anymore.
but this will amuse me because the main character is a trainer and not a player and thats something I find new and interesting
