The story takes form from the anime written by Yoichi Takahashi. The story is inspired by many soccer superstars like Zinedine Zidane, Neymar, Andres Iniesta, and gameplays that are truly amazing to watch with stellar animation.
The story revolves around a kid star Tsubasa Ozora and his journey with soccer and his determination to be the best.
One Piece
Age 6-10
If your child is into pirates and loves stories of the ocean like the moby dick and little mermaid. This storyline is one of the best I’ve witnessed with over 1000 episodes and millions of fans around the world.
This is my best recommendation of anime for building life skills and creating a high level of ambition and determination among your children as the main character Luffy is all about that.
The story takes place in a fantasy world ruled by pirates and the navy, where there are special characters who have gained the power of a devil fruit that gives them a unique power but takes away the ability to swim by the user.
Luffy is one such character who aims to find the treasure that will crown him as the king of all pirates while being a devil fruit user that gives him the power for his body to behave like rubber.
Luffy’s journey of following his dreams and finding friendship is truly inspirational to watch.
