But Wild Striker does provide enough different character designs to keep it interesting.īefore I get too deep into my sound explanation, let me just start off by saying the the first season OP was the best piece of music in the entire anime. Swap hairs and you'll swap the character. A bunch of the characters, if you look closely, have the same exactly facial structure, but simply different color eyes and a different hair style. It makes me wonder what the budget was for this anime. The same thing can be said of the character design. A very focal point of sports anime is how the animation during matches is done and because of the poor quality in Wild Striker, sometimes its not that fun to watch. Everyone knows that sports anime has a ton of repeated frames, but Wild Striker really pushes that to the limit as each match, it feels like you're watching the same exact match from an earlier episode, just with a different opponent. The animation and art is really brings this anime down a notch. There's a bit of romance in here as well, which is actually very interesting to watch. The matches are also very unpredictable, as Kyosuke's teams suffers plenty of losses throughout the show.
It keeps you on your toes and keeps the story very interesting.
However, let me say that there is a lot of plot twists that Wild Striker brings in that really catches you off-guard. That's the overall main theme that the anime always goes back too. So Kyosuke is always being compared to his older brother and is expected to follow in his footsteps (well, sort of anyway). The catch here is that his brother, Kanou Seisuke, is already a superstar that plays for AC Milan, and both of them are polar opposites in every way, shape and form. Although you still have your typical sports anime story with following a protagonist (Kyosuke, in this case) and his will to win the national championship. When I say that Wild Striker doesn't bring anything new, the one exemption from that can be with the story. Oh, by the way, this is a soccer (football) anime, for your information. However, after watching this anime, you cannot help but feel a special bond to it after following the journey and life's ups It's not a revolutionary anime by any means, and its relatively unknown compared to some of the other mainstream sports anime like Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21 Major, Shoot!, etc. Hungry Heart Wild Striker brings nothing new to the table. I was simply looking for a sports anime that I could watch in my free time and also was relatively long (52 episodes) that hopefully enjoyable. When I first started watching this anime, I really didn't expect anything special.
