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.

Well in a nutshell, my title sums it up. This was a generally good anime. I thought the characters were well thought up + excellently developed. They could be both amusing + interesting at different occasions. The soccer itself was enjoyable + extremely realistic. It may not be as crazy as other sports animes but I felt that its realistic portrayal of soccer made it, if anything, even more enjoyable. The story itself + the way it was developed was also quite good. I found episodes 7 - 9 hard to watch but as you'll c 4 yourselves if u watch it, they're meant to be the difficult ones. All in all a really good anime. My 1, small, regret is I wished it could be longer but 2b honest it was probably good enough with just 26 episodes.
