Shoot! had left sports anime fans heartbroken but also completely in love with it. So, the upcoming installment to the series has high expectations to live up to.
Although Toshi and Kubo will no longer be present in the series, a fresh protagonist is here to fill that void to some extent.
Tsukasa Ooshima’s Shoot! franchise is receiving an all-new original anime series in 2022 titled Shoot! Goal to the Future. A new visual has also been revealed, which gives us more information on the anime’s plot.
The visual shows Atsushi Kamiya, the former captain of the Kakegawa High soccer team, looking somewhere far away. Before him is Hideto Tsuji, the new protagonist of the series.
Tsuji is apparently disinterested in soccer due to its now-weakened team. Will his meeting with Kamiya spark a new flame of love for the sport in him?
Kamiya had the reputation of being a cold person in the actual anime, but after the events of his school life, he might have changed.
The new series will act as a sequel to the 1993 anime as it begins with an adult Kamiya. EMT Squared is helming the animation production after Toei had produced the first 58-episode series.
