Review on Eyeshield 21 by
http://animeworld.comDon't be put off by the sports-movies cliches the story starts out with; Eyeshield 21 takes a tried-and-true sports underdog formula and gives it an over-the-top anime twist, producing a brilliant combination of serious football drama with spectacular physics-defying action scenes and zany, off-the-wall humor. It's also not about simple main-character heroics; at its heart, Eyeshield 21 is about building a successful football franchise from the ground up, at the individual player, supporting staff, and overall team level. The series' epic length allows it to introduce the game, then gradually dig into its nuances through its large cast of interesting characters, almost all of which have significant roles to play. Its only real flaws are the somewhat repetitive structure of the games, a lack of coherence in field position, and, most tragically given the length, the unsatisfying spot that it ends the story.
Oerall, Eyeshield 21 is one of the best anime TV shows I've ever seen. It's got great characters on a remarkable journey as they learn all about respect for the game and each other, filled with nail-biting action, beautiful animation, good comedy, and an epic adventure story.
