Genres: Animated, Drama, Family, Sport

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa is athletic and quick and goes straight towards the goal starting from the kick-off spot at midfield, but a couple of opponents he dribbled try to tackle him again, and are incoherently shown as tackling from the front even if they came from behind. (00:07:00)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Tsubasa dribbles 9 to 11 players in his first sprint, never stops advancing when tackled (he jumps over the offenders), dribbles 5 more, but in front of the penalty area there are at least 8 new guys ready for him. (00:07:05)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Tsubasa hits his header, he is far from the box; Genzo punches away with 4 of his teammates in front of him, but then in the aerial shot there are 13 (!) teammates on the field, about 6 close by, plus... Tsubasa himself. (00:07:55)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When the two aces compete for Roberto's centering kick, Tsubasa is on the outside, in front of Genzo, going parallel to him yet as they land he's on the opposite side. (00:09:00)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: Needless to say, having a football on your belly can't cushion the impact with a truck. Even forgiving this obviously cartoonish impossibility, still the way Tsubasa lands looks all kinds of wrong, with the forward momentum instantly halted as the ball touches the ground again. (00:14:25)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Other mistake: When Sanae tells to the team "Ishizaki is right!" and gives them a pep talk, she's practically a hobbit next to the others, and a couple players are on odd mounds as if it were a baseball field. On a soccer pitch you just can't have that sort of uneven ground. (00:19:00)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: When Ryo tells Roberto that a drunkard like him is unfit to be the coach, next to him there's someone with an orange jersey, but there's nobody wearing that color in the wider shots. (00:21:10)

A Career Begins - S1-E2

Factual error: Genzo challenges Tsubasa to a rematch, this time in a regular "90 minutes match." They are elementary school students, their matches last only about 40 minutes.

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: Spurred by his new deskmate, Tsubasa juggles the ball and sends it with a header right onto the empty seat. Pretty sure it's forbidden in any school to just come to class with a football, but besides that; look at how the football is in view. How tall would the chair have to be for that to happen? Whoever sits on it has no room to put their legs under the desk for sure. (00:10:35)

Kick-Off for the Future - S1-E3

Other mistake: The kid who wants the soccer team to stop training is told off by Sanae, who points at the good efforts on the pitch. The animation of the team in training has noticeable errors, with a player that suddenly appears coming out of nowhere from behind the rightmost one, who is standing immobile in front of the goal and after a second disappears abruptly. (00:14:05)

Where Is the Rival? - S1-E5

Trivia: When Sanae starts waving the flag she made for Tsubasa, in the background you can see a couple of grossly disproportional characters most likely drawn as a joke by some animator, and even the Road Runner. (00:14:55)
