Sure the show has some downtime moments but it’s not the type of downtime that you expect. For a long semi-tournament arc we don’t see the characters actually train let along bond with each other. Now if you thought the pacing in Ares was bad than guess what the pacing in Orion is somehow even worse. She has no motivation whatsoever other than to use children from various countries to take over the world with her contrived Orion Foundation plan. It doesn’t help that the main villain of the show Irina Girikanan is so one dimensional.
#INAZUMA ELEVEN ORION CHARACTERS SERIES#
With the inclusion of politics the tone, pacing even dialogue go to shit as the devolved into this uninspired and badly written political, sports, spy series that contradicts everything that this franchise has stood for since 2008. This wouldn’t been a problem if the politics stuff was foreshadowed in Ares but nope it popped out of nowhere just like the rest of the so called plot twists in this show. The show had the nerves to throw in politics in a series that was meant for kids. This generic written plot was only made worse by the inclusion of politics in the second half. It is the most generic and stock evil organisation plot imaginable and it’s not even handled well. This plot is only interesting if haven’t seen an organisation plot in your life. Not only it was terribly written it’s also incredibly generic. It’s vapid, boring, hollow, ham-fisted and most importantly tedious to watch.Īs for the Orion Foundation plot itself it was hot garbage. Ladies and Gentleman that’s the plot of Inauma Eleven Orion in a nutshell. The same student thought it was a brilliant idea to add dark themes and topics on a franchise that rarely had dark themes and topics in it.


The writing in Orion feels like it was written by a clumsy student who had no creativity and passion. This was a massive problem in Ares that ultimately plagued it but Orion takes it to the next level to a point where became unbearable. One of the main problems you will notice right out of the gate is its fanfiction nature when it comes to it’s writing.

It’s like the staff took everything that was wrong with Ares and managed to crank it up to 11. I just going to say this right now Inazuma Eleven Orion is not only the worst entry of the series but is also one of the worst animes I have ever watched in a long while. Like with many Inazuma eleven fans I was super excited for it as I thought Orion would be the tasteful main course that would overshadow its amateur hour starter that was Ares. It had some good moments but those moments didn’t save the anime from being painfully disappointing.īefore Inazuma Eleven Ares finished airing OLM announced a squeal for it called Inazuma Eleven Orion. The writing was shallow at best, most of the new characters sucking ass and the visuals were underwhelming. The story was incredibly rushed thanks to its dreadful pacing. Inazuma Eleven Ares was one of the most disappointing series comebacks I’ve ever seen.
