Ashito Aoi is a young, aspiring football player from a backwater town in Japan. His hopes of getting into a high school with a good football club are dashed when he causes an incident during a critical match for his team, which results in their loss and elimination from the tournament. Nevertheless, he catches the eye of someone important who happened to be visiting from Tokyo. How will things turn out for Ashito?

Episode 3:

Haha, just when they're down, another bad news. I guess it all comes down to whether they can score one goal for the honor of it, but actually winning the match seems out of question.

Anyway, I like this anime, although the pacing could be faster. Not sure where this can go with only 12 episodes. Even 24 wouldn't be a lot. But whatever, there's good potential in this football anime, best in a long time.
