Tradução: Captain Tsubasa road to 2002 mostra a história da formação da equipe japonesa para mostrar ao mundo a excelência do seu futebol e técnica. Na pessoa de Tsubasa, toda a arte e a grandeza do futebol ... são mostradas de modo único e fantástico. É um esporte empolgante que faz todos os que assistem almejar jogarem bem o verdadeiro futebol. Captain Tsubasa road to 2002 é de fato, o anime do futebol.

This series was created on the occasion of the soccer world championships that took place in Korea and Gaippone in 2002.

As you will have understood by now, this story inevitably binds and intersects with the real life of Japan, but not only.

In fact this series is full of references to real soccer players and real football teams.

It can be divided into two parts of 26 episodes each:

- 'Elementary arc' + 'middle school arc'( personally I think they cut a little too much of the story) + 'shin captain tsubasa arc' (quite good)
- first part of 'CTWY' (Tsubasa in Brazil) and the first part of 'CTRT2002' ... (Tsubasa in Europe): it is as if they had taken these two parts of the manga e. for some strange reason and mixed them together

The perspective is completely new, in fact the story begins with Tsubasa who is playing his last game in Brazil and remembers his football career, from the beginning.

This match continues to be present in the first part of the story, as the episodes continue.

In the second part you can admire a completely new match, Japan vs Holland, with all our beloved heroes lined up on the field.

There's only one special manga, based on this game, and, a movie, which is only found in Japanese with subtitles.

At the end of the 52nd episode it's already possible to see which challenge will await 'Tsubasa & Co.' at the end of their journey, which just seems to never end in the manga ...

The new graphics are very appealing and music is exciting.

We must admit that 'CT' we can also admire the evolution of Japanese animation and find the reflection and magic of past times.

What can I say ... I wanted them to continue where it ended ...

Nothing to say 'CT' is always the same, even if the years pass!
