Crunchyroll began streaming all 39 episodes of the 2012 Galaxy Kickoff!! (Ginga e Kickoff!!) anime with Japanese audio and English subtitles on Friday.
Crunchyroll describes the anime:
When a soccer club breaks up due to a lack of players, one boy aims to start a new team, inspired by a girl who plays professionally.
The series adapts Hiroto Kawabata’s 2006 soccer novel Ginga no World Cup (Galactic World Cup). Hiroshi Wakamatsu launched a manga adaptation titled Ginga e Kickoff!! in Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump magazine in April 2012, and ended the manga in 2013. Shueisha published the fourth and final compiled volume in September 2013.
The anime received a three-volume novel adaptation by Tomoko Kanemaki from 2012-2013.
