As a HUGE fan of sports anime I have the eerie feeling this will be crap, the PV is speaking to me. Too many bad signs.

I have high hopes for this one since a lot of people have been hyping it up almost as much as with Blue Lock (Which I love) so I hope this doesn't end up being kinda meh-ish like Futsal Boys is

Trust me, it's really good series and this not will end up like what Futsal Boys did.

THE HYPE IS REAL AND DAMN THE VISUAL LOOKS NICE, though it may not have the same art level as the manga, it manages to look pretty good. Also Alexandros is back with another banger and this time is giving me some sport vibes
