Inazuma Eleven: Chou Jigen Dream Match

The 4 current reviews do this short movie really dirty, If anything this short movie is a fan service meaning you get to enjoy characters from both universes battling it out together (to be specific most of the popular characters)

sure storywise it doesn't really bring anything to the table, its just a "dream match" as the title suggests but in the end its about your favorate characters and their hissatsue techniques and if you ask me this short movie did not disappoint, we got to enjoy some of our favorite shots in combination with our favorite players both split up into the OG raimon ... and Royal

People really should appreciate the match for what it is rather then not liking it since storywise it doesn't bring anything to the table

If you are a fan of the Inazuma Eleven series you may or may not enjoy this.

This "movie" was very hyped up from before it's release as it had fans of the series vote on who they wanted to be members of the team Inazuma Best Eleven and their opponent Inazuma Battle Eleven.

Considering the actual match starts about 30 minutes into the movie (more than half of it) there isn't really any point in watching the first 30 minutes since it pretty much has no significance to it.

The actual match itself seems... lacking. I found nothing special or new about it that I could not ... find from the TV series, the animation even looks the same which is odd considering the previous movies had noticeably better animation.

For a movie celebrating the series 5th anniversary this movie was pretty sloppily put together and it does not represent the series very well.

You should only watch this if you're a hard-core fan of IE or any of its characters. Maybe even then you'll regret it.

The review might contain a few spoilers so read at your own risk.

Story: (2)
Arguably the worst aspect of the 'movie', which itself is barely 20 minutes long. There's no proper plot and the match is also terribly boring.

Art: (4)
The art is average and the animation is awful for its standard, after what GO, CS and Galaxy had to offer. The openings and endings are re-used from the previous installments.

... Sound: (6)
The background music was good, the openings were still pleasant to listen to and the VAs did a pretty decent job.

Characters: (3)
Characters are gathered from various time-lines and there's no explanation how. Even the characters seem to find it pretty normal. The characters are just dull and, at times, lame. One thing's for sure, Fubuki will be very happy he didn't make an appearance here.

Enjoyment: (4)
There's not much to enjoy here except for the slight thrill you might get seeing all your favorite characters playing together.

Overall: (4)
Inazuma Eleven: Chou Jigen Dream Match was utterly disappointing. Horrible story-line, character portrayal, art and animation marked a lazy attempt by Level-5 to create a match that every fan wants but not the one he/she deserves.
