Captain Tsubasa J

First episodes are recap of the original series in short form, the last 12 or so episodes are the real adaptation of the series.
I really wish they continued the series. My assumption because the first episodes were just remakes and people got bored, when it came for the new series the ratings were already so low. they should have just made the adaptation a different series with different name and OP/ED.

The character designs are really well drawn, but so does the Get in the Tomorrow Playstation Game anime.
The OP is still one of my favorites.
I really wish now they use the same character designs ... and have real adaptation of the World Youth series.

Welcome to the 90s with this series of 'CT'!

Looking at this series, you'll find yourself a little in those and you'll find, part of the manga story that is written in those years.

The first 33 episodes are a remake of the 'elementary arc' of '80 with some original anime content.
In this series you can find also Taro Misaki's story, exactly like in the series of '80, in a completely new guise .

In the second part you will find the first part of 'Captain Tsubasa World Youth', the part written by Yoichi Takahashi in '90, with the arrival of new characters, which will be fundamental ... to the story.

The only problem is that, this series, stops abruptly just when the game starts to get really interesting and leaving many fans with a bitter taste.

You will wonder why!?

Because the Japanese national football team, at that time, failed to qualify for the '94 World Cup in U.S.A .

In fact, 'CT', is the only anime/manga whose destiny seems to be boundlessly linked to the fate of the Japanese national football team.

The graphics are really better than the 80s version, like the music too.

Aniway 'Tsubasa & Co.' are always the same!

As a teen I loved it!
