I'm excited. Picking up that first manga of Whistle! when I was a kid was what made me love soccer again and dream to play it.

Late to the news, but I was excited then immediately unexcited lol. Revoicing huh... I've read the manga twice cuz I really like it, although it's been a long time. Didn't know the anime sucks, it's kind of an odd choice to just do a revoice. Seems like little to no point to me. I might try it out then since I was planning to watch the anime some day.

You guys are complaining about Whistle and not mentioning the most important problem in the anime: they never take run-ups on dead balls. How do you get any proper hit without a run up?

it's not, days is much better than whistle and has less shitty characters

which character on whistle that really shitty? IIRC, i know they are less likeable than days, but the character relationship is much feel natural than days... so i rate their character same...

the main kid, the other main kid and the other one

i recall only the blonde kid was good

the relationships felt forced and awkward
