Overall My Review - It's a great sports anime to watch. This is one of the best football / soccer anime. It has a good storyline, from the beginning of the series to the end of the series the situation around him changes, those situation helps him to get more closer to become a pro player. This anime not only focuses on the sports but also shown emotion like the bonding between his mother and his brother. This anime will give you joy and excitement and at the same time it will make you emotional. If you love sports anime or basically say football / soccer anime then it is for you.
Need To Watch ? - Of course (Recommended)
What will Happen in Season 2 (My Thought)
So he is now in Team A, so the path becomes more tough for him, he have to work hard to overcome it and I believe that he will overcome and rise up. And also Aoi and Hana's relation will get a push. So it's going to be great.
