Kobayakawa Sena is a little guy who always get picked on by the bullies in school. Since elementary school, he always play the role of the 'errand boy' to the extent that he has become swift and fast in his movements. Coincidentally, Hiruma Youichi and Kurita Ryukan are looking for a fast running back for their American Football team (Amefuto) and want to put Sena in the team. To hide their new 'star' player from the eyes of other High Schools, Hiruma encases Sena in a Amefuto helmet with a dark visor and name him Eyeshield #21.
Prior to me watching Eyeshield 21, I knew absolutely nothing about American Football, thus leading me to believe that I wouldn't enjoy this anime. How wrong I was... Eyeshield 21 is a humorous anime with a large cast of unique, lovable characters. The show will most definitely make you laugh, Hiruma's character really is just utter genius. The story is excellent, the characters are superb, and as previously stated do NOT be put off if you don't know about American Football, half the characters in the anime itself don't know either. Eyeshield 21 will draw you in and take you for a ride like none other. I suggest you watch this fantastic anime, you won't regret it.
