I loved every openings, they were exciting, the visuals were good, and the songs are perfect. Among others, Stardust, The General, Shinning Birds, Inabikari Dash, King's Lance, Death Crater, Burning Hinotori, Death Samba, Carnival Shake, Red Break (and many others) looked really great. Cosmic Blaster, Glaciar Gungnir, Penguin The God and The Devil, Perfect Penguins, Overhead Penguins, Shark The Deep, Emperor Penguin n2 featuring The Shark, Ice Arrow, Ice Javelin, Death Crusher Zone, Maximum Circus, The Explosions were awesome, I really love them. I like God Knows Impact, Patriot Shoot, High Beast Fang, Wormhole, Drill Smashes, Skywalk more than the original ones and Death Zone is on the same level as in the OG for me. They could always rotate the team, and there was a great rivalry in the striker section. We got a lot - I mean a LOT - members, and the bench actually felt useful. It was an interesting twist, that the main villain isn't a multi-billionaire business-man, but his widow-wife, who slapped everyone in face, and Bernard was actually terrified. I prefer this Brasil team insted of the original one.) I loved the dilemma of the seals, and their origin story. The writers didn't need to make them bad guys, and the tension-level was still good. Froy and Clario were really good rivals, but they were on the good side in every episode. I loved that the opponents were not bad guys. Hiura Kirina has the best desing in the whole franchise in my opinion, and Heruse Arisu, Hiyori Masakatsu, Mansaku Yuuichirou, Froy, Ichihoshi (Hikaru), Haizaki, Nosaka, Nishikage, Zhou Xing have a great desing too. There were some really good (new) character design. Ichihoshi, Haizaki, Nosaka, Mizukamiya, "Kira Hiroto", "Atsuya" (Yes, they aren't new characters, but we haven't seen them before a lot) I liked the "Fearsome Reputation" of Gouenji and the badassness of Kidou, and how iconic Endou was. I liked how Kabeyama improved a whole team's defense "The Absolute Commander of The Pitch", "The Demon of The Field", "The Tactical Emperor" "God Str." It made the matches more realistic and exciting. I loved that a good tactic could beat strong opponents. Of course it was obvious that Nosaka's team will be the final boss, but we saw a lot more rivalries, and Kidokawa, Seishou, Zeus, Teikoku, Eisei were strong competitors, and Endou and his team is always a factor. I always wanted to see other teams and matches, not just the Raimon/Inazuma Japan ones, and it maked the show a lot more interesting. The Seishou Gakuen vs Kidokawa Seishuu match was awesome with a lot of feelings.
I loved that we saw full match without the main team. The first one looked really good, and it was nice too see that players visited matches, the second one is logical and bit futuristic in a good way. I loved the player-cards and the watches. It was a nice little addition, and I loved the short-movies before the matches, they were creative. We saw seasons where the "bad-guy" wanted to rule the soccer-world, because of the economy, but we have never seen sponsors. There are many things that I really liked in these shows, so I tried to collect them, but I'm excited to see your opinions. Actually I really enjoyed Ares and Orion, but not as much as the OG or GO, but because of the nostalgia I think thats natural. Sometimes I feel I could seem like a "reboot-timeline" hater, but thats not true.
