Captain Tsubasa (2018)

I have watched every episode with much gusto, and this is the best adaptation of Captain Tsubasa, even though there were some areas that David Pro could have done differently. Many people do comment on how the soundtrack isn't as good as the previous adaptations, and while I can agree partly, it's definitely also not the complete bore that people are making it out to be. The music in the second arc (29 to 52) greatly improves the dramatic flair. The tracks aren't as present, but on the whole, they complemented the animation pretty well. Also, every time Hyuga had the ball, they played a particulartrack that I'm in complete love with. Other areas of contention include cutting dialogue content and a few scenes in order to fit the first 25 volumes of the manga in 52 episodes. For example, they had to cut Kanda out, the boxing dude who falls in love with Sanae. More importantly, the Boku ha Misaki Taro one shot which gave important character development to one of the main characters (Misaki) was also missing, which is a shame. The other big issue with this series is the reuse of animation. I think I've noticed too many times where David Pro reused the animation, but I think I can forgive them for it, because those new animation pieces are frankly the best of the franchise yet. For the first time ever, the special shots look as good as they were in the manga. Which brings me to another point. Tsubasa 2018 is the only adaptation that has been able to bring Takahashi's dynamic and intense art style into animation. Maybe Tsubasa doesn't have "fluid animation" all the time, but it gladly made up for it with a lot of really well-drawn shots. Even the stills that often match those in the manga look like there was a lot of effort put into them. You can pause the series at any point, and you will simply not find a lot of "QUALITY". It's just great to look at. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with this series. It doesn't have the super amazing soundtrack of the original or Road to 2002, but is it honestly that important especially when you consider the fact that Takahashi's vision (story and art) has been successfully transcribed to anime format? It's all there without the useless extra baggage of the other adaptations. The final episode teases us for a future adaptation of the third and final arc of Captain Tsubasa which was sadly missing here. If it doesn't happen, it'll be the biggest blueball in anime history, especially after the last 2 failed remakes.

It was my precious childhood memories since elementary school. I watched it with my family and spending the evening together. This is almost a show I never skip when I was little. The new production seem to master that area, while being an easy animation for kids, the excitement from the play is beyond excelent. I kind of like the voice of each character, while it's not on the list, my favorite seiyuu-san Tomoaki Maeno is taking part to be the commentator of the game play. I knew this since the beginning but kinda confused since it's not mention. The building of the story is based onthe previous anime, and not really modified, and character design is the same as the old one too. With just a few of cleaning and matching. the game is supposed to be amazing with the effect of it. I remember my father commented on the old version while watching this together. "Tsubasa never going to lose." haha... what a heartwarming memory.

Truly, this is one of the best piece in Television history.Captain Tsubasa 2018 is a reboot of the classic football anime series that first aired in 1983. The new series follows the story of Tsubasa Ozora, a young boy with a passion for soccer, as he works to become the best player he can be. The animation in Captain Tsubasa 2018 is top-notch, with vibrant colors and fluid movements that bring the soccer matches to life. The character designs are faithful to the original series, while also incorporating modern elements to give the characters a fresh look. One of the strengths of the series is its focuson character development. Tsubasa and the other characters are given depth and complexity, with backstories and motivations that make them more than just football players. The series explores the relationships between the characters, both on and off the field, which adds an emotional depth to the story. Another strength of the series is its attention to detail in the football matches. The matches are well-choreographed and reflect the strategies and tactics of real games. The use of special moves and techniques, which are a staple of the series, are also well-executed and add an element of excitement and spectacle to the matches. Overall, Captain Tsubasa 2018 is a well-done reboot of the classic football anime series. It offers beautiful animation, engaging character development, and exciting football matches that will appeal to fans of the genre. However, its focus on soccer and pacing may not be for everyone.I cannot wait to see the enthralling and magnificent new season in the October of 2023!!!!!

English Version General (5.6 / 10) This has been all for me ... First of all I want to clarify that this review was based on the basic knowledge that I have of the industry and the respective adaptations that I saw in my childhood under this title that were "Road to 2002" complete and some chapters of the 94 'series. To start honestly, I don't know, if it is due to the passing of time and when I grow up, this story does not transmit the same thing to me, or if it was just a bad adaptation by "David Production", but if they rush me, I wouldbe encouraged to say which is a percentage of 30% my responsibility, against 70%. In general, this anime does not really stand out, but we go in parts, the different fields. Story: (7/10) I do not want to get too extensive with something that most of us already know. It is a typical soccer story with a protagonist who was "touched" by the magic wand to be the best and tells us his events since he was a child. So far everything normal nothing really striking, but it is not expected to be the core of the series. Art: (6/10) This is where I feel that the cheerleader house begins to make mistakes, although they have used a nice palette of pleasant colors, most events on the playing field are static, you really see everything between cuts and without giving that fluidity that one expects to the plays. Sound: (5.5 / 10) Another point that could have been a great catalyst to boost the series but it was one of the weakest, with an opening that goes unnoticed and an ED that turned out to be the best in the sound aspect, returning to bring the classic "Moete Hero". Unfortunately the rest of OST is unnoticeable, and leaves no representative or epic sound at crucial moments Characters: (4/10) We literally got to the worst, since while it is known that the strong and varied cast of characters that this installment represents, most of them do not delve into anyone. We get a lot of variants of Stories and personalities, but they only last a chapter at most and most of them become a discard and they do not seriously get any development or depth greater than 5 minutes, which means that when it comes to showing us the matches just give us some empty shells that don't convey any true feeling to the viewer or wanting to support them to win. Enjoy: (5.5 / 10) The reality of this Show is that I was only attracted to what the nostalgia of seeing Tsubasa and his classmates could mean again because history, especially in these primary and secondary stages, I learned by heart with the infinite number of adaptations that have done in all this time. The real hope I had in the production work is good and we could dream that they finally show the continuation of this title once and for all in the future, and we do not continue collecting intermediate adaptations with the same bows as always, unfortunately with this work I They wanted to see a sequel by "David production", I hope that one day they really take this series seriously and receive the adaptation it deserves Version en Español: General (5,6 / 10) Esto ah sido todo para mi... Primero que nada quiero aclarar que esta revisión se basara en los conocimientos básicos que tengo de la industria y las respectivas adaptaciones que vi en mi infancia bajo este titulo que fueron "Road to 2002" completo y algunos capítulos de las serie de los 94'. Para comenzar sinceramente no se, si se deba al paso del tiempo y que ya de mayor no me transmite lo mismo esta historia, o si solamente fue una mala adaptación por parte de "David Production", pero que si me apuran me animaria a decir que es un porcentaje de 30% responsabilidad mio, contra un 70%. En general no destaca realmente nada este Anime pero vamos por partes, los distintos campos. Historia: (7/10) No me quiero poner demasiado extenso con algo que la mayoría ya conocemos. Es una historia tipica de futbol con un protagonista que fue "tocado" por la varita magica para ser el mejor y nos narra sus eventos desde niño. Hasta aqui todo normal nada realmente llamativo, pero tampoco se espera que sea el nucleo de la serie. Arte: (6/10) Aqui es donde siento que comienza a cometer fallos la casa animadora, si bien han empleado una linda paleta de colores agradables, la mayoría de eventos en el campo de juego es estática, realmente se observa todo entre cortado y sin dar esa fluidez que uno espera a las jugadas. Sonido: (5,5/10) Otro punto que podría haber sido un gran catalizador para impulsar la serie pero fue de los mas flojos, con una apertura que pasa desapercibida y un ED que resulto ser lo mejor en el aspecto sonoro, volviéndose a traer el clásico "Moete Hero". Desgraciadamente el resto de OST es imperceptible, y no deja ningún sonido representativo o épico en los momentos cruciales Personajes: (4/10) Literalmente llegamos a lo peor, ya que si bien es sabido que el fuerte y variado cast de personajes que representa esta entrega, en su mayoría no profundizan en nadie. Obtenemos un montón de variantes de Historias y personalidades, pero que solo duran un capitulo a lo maximo y la mayoría se vuelve un descarte e no obtienen seriamente ningún desarrollo o profundidad superior a 5 minutos, lo que logra que a la hora de mostrarnos los partidos solo nos den unos cascarones vacios que no transmiten algún sentimiento verdadero al espectador o de querer apoyarlos a ganar. Disfrute: (5,5/10) La realidad de este Show es que solo me atraia lo que podía significar la nostalgia de volver a ver a Tsubasa y sus compañeros por que la historia, sobre todo en estas etapas de primaria y secundaria me las aprendí de memoria con la infinidad de adaptaciones que han echo en todo este tiempo. La verdadera esperanza la tuve en el trabajo de producción sea buena y podríamos soñar con que finalmente muestren la continuación de este titulo de una vez por todas a futuro, y no sigamos coleccionando adaptaciones intermedias con los mismo arcos de siempre, desgraciadamente con este trabajo me sacaron las ganas de ver una secuela por parte de "David produccion", espero que algun dia realmente tomen esta Saga enserio y reciba la adaptacion que merece.
