Eyeshield 21 is an anime television series that was first broadcasted in Japan from 2005 to 2008. It is an adaptation of a popular manga of the same name written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The anime series is produced by the animation studio, Studio Gallop and it has a total of 145 episodes.

The show follows the journey of a high school student named Sena Kobayakawa, who has extraordinary speed and agility. Sena has always been bullied throughout his childhood and he has never been able to stand up for himself. However, his life takes a turn when he is recruited by the school's American football team, the Deimon Devil Bats, to be their running back.

At first, Sena is reluctant to join the team but he soon discovers that he has a talent for the sport. The team is led by Yoichi Hiruma, a devious and cunning strategist who will do anything to win. Hiruma forces Sena to wear an eyeshield to conceal his identity from their opponents and gives him the nickname "Eyeshield 21".

The team faces off against various opponents throughout the series, each with their unique skills and personalities. They participate in the high school football tournament, the Fall Tournament, hoping to win and become the best in Japan.

The characters in Eyeshield 21 are diverse and interesting. Sena is the protagonist and his character arc is one of the highlights of the series. He grows and develops from a timid and insecure individual to a confident and skilled player. Hiruma, on the other hand, is a complex character who is often portrayed as an anti-hero. He has a dark and troubled past, which is slowly revealed throughout the series.

Other notable characters in the series include Mamori Anezaki, the team's manager and Sena's childhood friend, and Musashi, a large and intimidating lineman who is fiercely loyal to Hiruma. The show also features a range of other supporting characters, such as rival teams and their members, who add depth and excitement to the story.

One of the strengths of Eyeshield 21 is its animation quality. The show features dynamic and fast-paced action scenes, which are enhanced by the use of computer-generated imagery. The characters' movements are fluid and detailed, and the visual effects add a level of intensity to the football matches.

The show's soundtrack is also noteworthy, with a mix of upbeat pop and rock songs, as well as more somber and emotional tracks. The opening and ending themes change throughout the series, adding variety and freshness to the show.

Overall, Eyeshield 21 is a highly entertaining and engaging anime series. It combines elements of sports, action, and comedy to create a unique and enjoyable viewing experience. The characters are likable and relatable, and the story is gripping and full of twists and turns. Whether you're a fan of football or anime, or both, this show is definitely worth checking out.

Eyeshield 21 is a series that ran for 3 seasons (147 episodes) between April 6, 2005 and on
