It's called Eyeshield 21 and sadly the anime does kind of suck *due to the best character having to be watered down to extremes and a large chunk of the story having to be removed due to it having gambling*


The manga however is fantastic, and that's why I stormed into this thread all excited... soccer's fine too but ; ~ ;

Soccer and Baseball are popular in Japan. Expect mainly those two. Sport's anime's are more about character development most of the time anyway.

No no, football is the word Americans think they made up themselves, but actually stole from the Brittish, because they wanted another word for their special form of Rugby, but when they couldn't come up with a nice name themselves, they just took football and hoped no one would notice it.

Well, depending on how good and how long running Area no Kishi is I might or might not check this out.
I probably regret this post by now.

Meh, didn't really like the character designs. I just hope it's not an Inazuma Eleven v2 (which is actually not that bad for a kids' show, but not my piece of cake).

I wish this was anime about them playing American football instead. Wouldn't make any sense, but that would be what was so great about it.
