This is technically soccer related so nya The anime adaptation of Giant Killing starts on Sunday! The animation kinda looks iffy but it's a World Cup year so I guess they figured they could bank on it easily enough. I probably wouldn't start a thread for this except that The Cherry Coke$, a Japanese Irish-Punk band whom I've shot many a time and am on favorable terms with, did the OP theme. And they're pretty cool so you should listen to them
I was waiting for this to come out for a while. I think the premiere is on the 4th. The manga is pretty interesting and I find the story a lot more directed towards teens rather than other football manga's such as Captain Tsubasa and Whistle!.
I agree, the manga is not bad at all. With some good music and nice pictures, it could be a hit among adult watchers.
The first episode for anyone who missed it. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU0X0RRsiWM"]YouTube- Giant Killing Episode 1 part 1/2[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8aEnrx-92w&feature=related"]YouTube- Giant Killing Episode 1 part 2/2[/ame]
