Broadcast on Fuji Television from October 1994 to December 1995, the 47-episode run follows young soccer prodigy Tsubasa Okazaki as he pursues his dream of becoming a champion footballer. Studio Comet's animation brings the high-energy matches and character development to life, capturing the passion and determination that define the series.
