The story centers around Aizawa Kakeru, the younger brother of the Kamakura School soccer team captain Suguru. While Suguru is so talented in soccer that he has been made part of Japan's national under-15 team, Kakeru is so weak at the sport that he is nicknamed Mr. No Goal. Kakeru's life changes however, after a tragic accident.

reasons
I am in a new anime to watch and I was greatly beautiful. The characters were well designed and the girls were also added. The most attractive anime character of the story of a boy and girl who were trying to win the field. The anime is somewhat equivalent to football, but it still can not be set captain Tsubasa. I scored 9 out of 10 of the anime series and the previously noted 10 of 10. Playing time fans of the anime so good that most people are looking forward to making the second season of the series.

A little below average sport anime. It never kept me craving for another episode and the special skills of each individual of the opposing teams are boring. The outcome of matches were super predictable. There is only focus on two characters on improving their skills and voice acting is just meh. The non football episodes were quite good though.

If you like soccer anime you will like it. but it has some stupid things and stupid ideas. over all it's enjoyable if you are watching it while doing something else like eating :D

Not a bad series but also not complete, needs another 12 to 13 episodes or a movie to wrap it up. A lot of cliches typically found in a sports anime along with the usual fanservice.beach episode. Still recommend if you like this type.

A nice series however a warning that only 50% of the story was shown so hopefully there is a 2nd season. For sports anime fans who enjoy series like major, and whistle this one is good but again watch it without expectations.

It's a very nice sport anime. I like the fact that the story revolves around Kakeru's growth not Suguru's gifted talent like so many of the sports anime tend to do. What kills it for me is kind of the "supernatural" aspect... truthfully I really hope that Kakeru doesn't end up using it and grows himself but we'll see.

This is a really nice football anime , one of the best that i have seen so far (best in the way that the actual sport isn't affect by high core special powers ),the story around the main char is built nicely + he's not a simple sport idiot he has some brains

Being English that i am, i was raised to be a football fanatic, and have tried to watch many football anime over the years but they all suffered from fatal flaws like relying on shounen gimmicks of special power techniques or focusing far too much on football and having no character or real story development "A Knight in the Area" though is proving to be a very enjoyable watch with the right mix of football and story/character development.
Though the series is as yet unfinished i cant see myself putting this one down as i have so many other football anime.

Probably for sports/football fans only. It's not a bad plot, but kinda sad. And I was hoping that Suguru will be a main character together with Kakeru, but the story development went into another direction. Maybe it's still early to consider this show a failure but so far it's nothing great. I'll keep watching it and come back with an edit if I'll change my mind.

But expect to see a substantial amount of variety.

Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found.
