The disappointed Kazumi wants to see the trio reunite, so she takes matters into her own hands in her mischievous way. When Tanaka starts to lose hope, an encounter with Kazumi Endo-a girl from his childhood-becomes the unexpected key to his freedom from despair. Although Tanaka and his friends were once known as a deadly soccer trio in their junior high school days, Kenji and Kazuhiro have both quit soccer for personal reasons. The final nail in the coffin is the reluctance of Tanaka's friends, Kenji Shiraishi and Kazuhiro Hiramatsu, to join him in the club. To make matters worse, the freshmen are not allowed to practice alongside the sophomores or become regulars on the team. Kubo-the captain of the club-is absent due to illness. Now a high school freshman, Tanaka is devastated as his expectations suddenly start falling apart. If you can look over the bad animation I'm certain you'll enjoy this.Inspired by Yoshiharu Kubo's phenomenal performance that led Kakegawa High School to a miraculous victory in a soccer tournament, Toshihiko Tanaka decides to enter the same school as his idol and join the soccer club, hoping to become as successful as Kubo. Not to mention the soundtracks are beautiful and will give you goosebumps. Its unfinished and that's not a sly on the anime but just the fact there are just 52 episodes. I hated it simply because I was left wanting more. I loved it because it went against the grain and there are few things that surprise me in an anime ending, you usually know where it's going but this was different. It was emotional and i loved it and I hated it too. The ending was simply poetic to put it best. Coping with family issues, love, setbacks it really has everything. Although it's a sports anime, it's so much more that limiting it to just football is simply wrong. The story revolves around him being compared to his elder brother who is a young star for AC Milan and him not being able to show that ability. Hungry heart starts out as a story about a school kid who is a delinquent but also has a great football instincts. It's childish in parts but as an overall experience there are few sports anime that can come near this one. I rewatched this anime after I first saw it as a kid.
