Giant Killing the anime has finally came to an end with 26 episodes.
I generally like this anime series a lot and had always been looking forwarding to watching the next episode next week. The story and concept is really very well done.
I would rate this anime series 8.5/10 stars.
I can't really remember clearly how the story flow, but here goes~
The story goes whereby the general manager and assistant of the soccer club called ETU, were looking for their former star player, Takeshi Tatsumi.
The general manager and assistant were in England watching a match between a strong and a weak team, the match ended with the weaker team winning. When they got to the street, they heard very loud cheers from their back and they saw Tatsumi being carried by the local fans. They had finally found him.
In the past with Tatsumi in the team, they are the top team of the league. However, one day he left and abandoned the team and the team have been experiencing a long streak of poor performances for several years since then.
Once again, Tatsumi returned back to ETU hired as manager and coach.
The fans considered him a bad choice and protested against him being the manager and coach. They hold a grudge against him because he was considered as a traitor for leaving ETU at the peak of his career in the past.
Tatsumi showed confidence during a football event that he may be able to bring glory back to his team again.
In the beginning to get to know his club better, he was in a losing streak and fans were protesting again. However, things gradually change as he proved himself capable. In the end they even won the big teams from the league.
I feel that the plots of the story were very realistic and sometimes moving. The characters were unique as well. The anime has ended, but the manga is still on-going :)
