Hope you guys all enjoyed the video! Not often that I get to mix 2 things that I enjoy into a single vid. Also this took a millenia to edit so if you did enjoy it and wanted to drop a like...I wouldn't be opposed lol. Appreciate you all 🙂
1:16 this is for brand new equipment and for goalies only. Always buy usedequipment. It is costly to play however especially travel hockey . Buy used, hit up salvation army, used hockey stores , kijiji etc..
This was a really great review and I have never seen a single game of hockey and didn’t know this anime existed but I was really impressed by your input
The editing and humour is honestly top tier. I'm glad you find a genre of videos you love to do and I hope your videos get more traction. This is great
@@ToeKnee would've been great if the main characters had a character that was the fighty type. The type to mainly just body people and get into fist fights (because brawling is a pretty big part of hockey. Obviously you know that tho)
Hockey is as close as you can come to a religion born of a sport. They need to stop, this is one of the few religions left to us, I am the Lisan al Gaib, the one who shows the way. Stop besmirching our sport.
I really appreciate this review! As someone who spent 17 years of my life playing hockey, when I started getting into sports anime I was sad that there wasn't any hockey representation. I was hopeful for this, but you confirmed my fears. Great vid!
As a Swede, I love to see Hockey content. More of this please! Maybe trivia videos and/or match analysing? (It's nothing new but it's interesting non the less). Or just play some NHL 22 from time to time?
Man... i hope one day we gonna have our full shonen Hockey anime. The fucking crazy anime special move with the puck and all... man i'd kill for that... And the fights man... it would be sick...
@@vizenbre1658 I can already picture on one of the "manga panel" being the Protag team's goalie getting gazed by a slap shot that missed his goal, but shattered the glass panel behind him. Then we learn that this particular defenseman is known for his crazy powerful slapshot, and intimidates goalie by breaking glass panel behind them. Hockey is too good to miss out on a shonen anime.
@@ToeKnee ah that's a shame, I don't really watch sports and knew nothing about basketball when I first watched it, sometimes I wish I could go back to those blank slate days 🤧
Well goalie helmets are traditionally much more expensive than player helmets, but your leg pads are the most important part to a goalie. There's actually a crazy amount of stuff that goes into creating a leg pad so that's why they are super pricey.
As a massive hockey fan, thank you dad, I wanted to watch this show since it got announced back in 2021. Holy fuck is the beginning dull and unimportant as hell. Granted for me once it hit episode 7 then we really started to get into the more meat of the anime. That 2nd half saved my enthusiasm for the show, I rated it a 7 on MAL, and I'm wanting more of what you talked about when we hopefully get a 2nd season.
I watched this up to Canada being beat by Japan through “love and friendship” and I legit almost threw my console into my TV… It was genuinely insulting… I was hoping to have a cool anime about hockey, but… it did not happen.
Sick editing skills. Ping Pong gets my vote as the best sports anime (and also one of the best in general). PS: You're my favorite shitty youtuber and as your dad I would secretly be very proud of you.
And there were barely any Canadian characters as well. Honestly, this could've been a great counter-anime for Yuri on Ice as the concept was there, instead of boys figure skating, it was girls playing hockey and yet, we got a cutesy, tame, bland anime
One of my friends got me into ice skating and well I'm good at field hockey so I figured I could try ice hockey then I realised how fucking expensive that shit is like bruh I don't even have £100 where am I gonna get £4000? 😂
@@HxH2011DRA Lol no, most of my life my mom worked in a school and my dad is an engineer. But sports were pretty much all I did back then so I wasn't getting money spent on a lot of other things.
So our ice rink wasn't actually at the school itself, you won't find that too commonly. We had a home rink though that was relatively close. Maybe 10-15 drive from school
Bro hockey is awesome. havent seen a game in years unfortunately.. if anyone here hasnt watched a hockey game before, please take toeknees advice. Watch. Some. Heckin. Hockey
Hey we're friends. That's pog! let's go do things cuz were friends. Feeling down? Don't be! Because we're friends! That volcano in the distance about to erupt in the distance, potentially killing everyone in the town? Pssh, I'd like to see that lava get through our friendship! basically every slice of life anime I've seen. So I don't like most of them. Maybe I'l go watch the Fate series someday.
The thing that annoys me most about this is that they're all wearing fishbowl helmets. I played hockey from the ages of 6 to 18, and I can count on 1 hand how many fishbowls I saw, everyone wore the metal cages.
I second this, this anime was quite meh. It had a few nice smooth animations for the hockey, so I have my hopes up there will be a new anime in not so far away future with some slick hockey action.
Id sit through a lot of moe slice of life stuff if the girls tackled the lights out of each other once un a while. Hell, show would of been legendary if two if the girls tossed the gloves. Could you imagine?!?! Cute girls do Mixed Martial Arts anyone?
Big fan of hockey and anime, sad they completely butchered this chance. Who thought depicting the intense, gritty, mean sport of hockey with middle school girls who act all "cutesy" would be a good idea lmao
Hope you guys all enjoyed the video! Not often that I get to mix 2 things that I enjoy into a single vid. Also this took a millenia to edit so if you did enjoy it and wanted to drop a like...I wouldn't be opposed lol. Appreciate you all 🙂
Hey Toeknee I loved the vid dude, it’s super fun commentary and just an interesting subject that was fun to watch.
Cowboy Jake or hockey Jake. (DBD)

Highway robbery the anime: a group of highschoolers spend there freetime together robbing people on the freeway.
Bruh that sounds awesome lmao
every time i see this anime, i remember the 1993 world juniors where japan finished with a -70 goal differential 😭
Please do more Hokey related content, I'm now so intrigued by the sport and your expertise and would love to see more.
If ever the opportunity arises, you best believe I shall!
This was a really great review and I have never seen a single game of hockey and didn’t know this anime existed but I was really impressed by your input
Glad you enjoyed!
The editing and humour is honestly top tier. I'm glad you find a genre of videos you love to do and I hope your videos get more traction. This is great
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying myself
@@ToeKnee I wish there was another hockey anime that was more fleshed out and made really well. I wanna see some characters get CHECKED-
@@spaghettisnake2238 nothing against women's hockey but some good hits and scrums would be awesome
@@ToeKnee would've been great if the main characters had a character that was the fighty type. The type to mainly just body people and get into fist fights (because brawling is a pretty big part of hockey. Obviously you know that tho)
Finally, we grow ever closer to the full anime sport collection

It's funny at how we get some great sports animes out of no where like Haiku and Kuroko no Basket, or something a like.
Yeah I didn't think I would even like sports anime, but haikyu ended up being my favorite anime lol
As someone who just moved and doesnt have any friends, friendship is kinda pog
Friendship is indeed pog. But writing about friendship can also be entertaining
3:38 Hmm…… yes Inexperience indeed…. I feel you bro
As a Swede, I love to see Hockey content. More of this please! Maybe trivia videos and/or match analysing? (It's nothing new but it's interesting non the less). Or just play some NHL 22 from time to time?
I would totally play some chel but it's one of the only sport games they haven't brought to pc
@@ToeKnee did you play juniors in your career?
12:17 excellent use of the regular show intro noise
That bass is just so good
Stange that a UA-camr of your size would like and/or replie to most, if not all of the comments. It's a nice change.
When I used to do my more gameplay focused content it definitely became harder, but I want to interact as much as possible.
Fantastic video Toeknee, This made my monke brain have the big think and enjoyment. Also ice skating is just walking in cursive, change my mind
I...uhh..well....he's right.
Man... i hope one day we gonna have our full shonen Hockey anime. The fucking crazy anime special move with the puck and all... man i'd kill for that...
And the fights man... it would be sick...
Yeah, I’d say hockey is more fit for shonen or an action seinen. But not idol shit

yea hope they make a mens one to i wont even watch this one lol womens hockey sucks
@@IDFCClanI agree, no contact is bs
Oh and my favorite sports anime is Kuroko no Basket. Rewatch it every year, never stops being hype (and now it even has a suprisingly decent dub!)
I've been told to watch it many times, but I really just do not like basketball lmao
@@ToeKnee ah that's a shame, I don't really watch sports and knew nothing about basketball when I first watched it, sometimes I wish I could go back to those blank slate days 🤧
I love kuroko no basket dub!😍
@@toonasag.beauty it's suprisingly good!
I have never read the rule book and I passed my reff test
Ah when your helmet is is a fourth of the cost of your pads. That explains a lot about Toeknee lol
Well goalie helmets are traditionally much more expensive than player helmets, but your leg pads are the most important part to a goalie. There's actually a crazy amount of stuff that goes into creating a leg pad so that's why they are super pricey.
@@ToeKnee i would argue the helmet is more important
I can tell your scoliosis acted up when you seen that hunch back lmao

As a HongKonger, I am surprised that our Hockey TV Drama called SPARKS is outdoing Puraora in terms of quality
They don't even shove people into the boards!
If the olympics right now were not an indicator of how that opening game would have gone in reality I don’t know what is.
At 9:46 that clip was from my rink
Tbh Japan beating Canada in hockey is funny asf. It's like watching Shohei Ohtani beating Connor McDavid in a 1v1
I watched this up to Canada being beat by Japan through “love and friendship” and I legit almost threw my console into my TV… It was genuinely insulting… I was hoping to have a cool anime about hockey, but… it did not happen.
Bruh, what the fuck
If this was based on men’s Japan is not making it out without at least 12 injuries
I learned two things from this: 1. lmao friendship bad, and 2. Canada stomps Japan at hockey (what do you mean im biased)
They literally play on Flyers uniforms
I know at least three people who could put skate the entire team
Our team pays for everything jersys and the socks that go over your Shin pads
Sick editing skills. Ping Pong gets my vote as the best sports anime (and also one of the best in general).
PS: You're my favorite shitty youtuber and as your dad I would secretly be very proud of you.
Hockey is mostly in canada/usa too
Facts
…I, actually did read the entire NHL rulebook. Multiple times.
Apart from that, yeah pretty much
YO you were a goalie that is so cool, I was a goalie in hockey too!
.... pain... pain.... 50k? Dude. You HURT your parents but that's okay....
Lol I have no idea why they let me. But I have a lot of good memories and enjoyed my time playing
this video is just a vibe
Oh jesus they had one job, and they totally messed it up lol
It was painful
And there were barely any Canadian characters as well. Honestly, this could've been a great counter-anime for Yuri on Ice as the concept was there, instead of boys figure skating, it was girls playing hockey and yet, we got a cutesy, tame, bland anime
1:26 wtf you payed $650 for skates that’s a rip off I got mine for $150
My mans meme game is off the charts
Yoo I was a goalie too. Hell yeah. Luckily nowadays they'll donate goalie equipment to youths because of the cost.
One of my friends got me into ice skating and well I'm good at field hockey so I figured I could try ice hockey then I realised how fucking expensive that shit is like bruh I don't even have £100 where am I gonna get £4000? 😂
Yeah one of the sad things. It would be so much more popular if it was more affordable
Ye ik a bunch of ppl here that would play it if we could afford the equipment
McDavid got nothing on these girls
yo, movie at 0:13 sauce?
Not a movie that was real. The name of the guy who did it is pavel datysuk. Watch some of his highlights
YOUR PARENTS SPEND 50K ON HOCKEY? HOLY SMOKES
Ohh def more, that was just during high-school
@@ToeKnee are you parents doctors???? Hedge fund owners????
@@HxH2011DRA Lol no, most of my life my mom worked in a school and my dad is an engineer. But sports were pretty much all I did back then so I wasn't getting money spent on a lot of other things.
@@ToeKnee a simple man, all he needed was the ice and his puck. You could make an anime out of this~
When you played hockey, did your shcool have an ice rink or was it on a floor?
So our ice rink wasn't actually at the school itself, you won't find that too commonly. We had a home rink though that was relatively close. Maybe 10-15 drive from school
What the hell happened to this channel? I used to watch your for honor videos all the time
you should check out for honor
Too bad Noda's hockey manga got canceled
I know I'm late to the party, but I know they would hate Mike Babcock as a coach.
yeaaah
Would definitely like to see a more realistic hockey anime
And make it about males so we can see all those bodychecks and fist fights.
Bro hockey is awesome. havent seen a game in years unfortunately.. if anyone here hasnt watched a hockey game before, please take toeknees advice. Watch. Some. Heckin. Hockey
It's been a while since I've been to one with the whole pandemic, but we have essentially every package to watch hockey at my house lmao
Thats the way to do it. Red Wings fan from FL here
Hey we're friends. That's pog! let's go do things cuz were friends.
Feeling down? Don't be! Because we're friends!
That volcano in the distance about to erupt in the distance, potentially killing everyone in the town?
Pssh, I'd like to see that lava get through our friendship!
basically every slice of life anime I've seen. So I don't like most of them. Maybe I'l go watch the Fate series someday.
There are some really good slice of life shows though. I recommend barakamon. It's about calligraphy, super wholesome and overall good vibes
What happened to all of your Videos on For honor?
you can still watch them in the playlist i created on the channel
Finally! dead by daylight anime!
I really expected atleast one character in the anime that is like matt cooke and does a ton of cheap shots for her own enjoyment
Lmao that'd be hype, but pretty limited on the intensity lol
@@ToeKnee trueee
good video tony 2 tone
Didn't watch this anime yet but what happen if there is a fight?🤣
Unfortunately no fights, woulda been nice tho lol
The thing that annoys me most about this is that they're all wearing fishbowl helmets. I played hockey from the ages of 6 to 18, and I can count on 1 hand how many fishbowls I saw, everyone wore the metal cages.
Yeah it's 100% so they wouldn't have to animate the faces, which I guess I understand, but yeah no one rocks the bowls lol
I wore a fishbowl for one season in the absolutely sucked I could not see a thing clouded up so much
"Middle school girl" sir I do believe you've made a mistake with your choice of clips to put under that
it's cuz felix is in fact not a girl
I second this, this anime was quite meh. It had a few nice smooth animations for the hockey, so I have my hopes up there will be a new anime in not so far away future with some slick hockey action.
Id sit through a lot of moe slice of life stuff if the girls tackled the lights out of each other once un a while.
Hell, show would of been legendary if two if the girls tossed the gloves. Could you imagine?!?!
Cute girls do Mixed Martial Arts anyone?
They could still beat the leafs in the playoffs tho so I'll give them that
Let's go bruins
Oh no...I hate the bruins lmao. But nice to see a fan of hockey here lol
You’re not shitty
I play hockey, and personally... I'm disappointed. And yet, this review was really amazing. I'm just really disappointed with the show..
Big fan of hockey and anime, sad they completely butchered this chance. Who thought depicting the intense, gritty, mean sport of hockey with middle school girls who act all "cutesy" would be a good idea lmao
The idea is not bad in concept thou
any I would love an Aur Gear style Hockey series
Air Gear is Rollerblader Manga an Anime genius
Do they power up and skate away every time dude gets his ass beat? Jesus Christ...rather watch naruto
weeb
What gave it away?
