jujutsu kaisen episode 19 reddit berserk anime vs manga
Of all the random sports to pick, football isn’t the least popular by any means, but it is surprising that, well, Japanese people play American football. There isn’t even a national Japanese Football League. In fact, I had to actually do a double take when Eyeshield 21 was based on a real competition. People in Japan actually play American football in high school, and the Christmas Bowl is an actual football competition. Regardless, I doubt most people who are not native to or living in the US are familiar with Football, and that . goes for more Japanese people as well.
Beyond just the strange sport, which is almost never a bad thing when it comes to sports anime, the show is not bad at all. There are 13 or so characters that matter in the show, 11 of which are part of the football team, and 2 are cheerleaders/managers of the team.
