Anime & Manga Discussion
Where you should start is the films, just to get a bit more ground on the films. Now they are independent stories, and have nothing to do with the OVA. But SAC Season 1 & 2 connect with one another. Solid State Society is the last of the trilogy to the OVA stories. Arise, the new series is out later this year. (*No word on official release, but Funimation has the rights now)

Eyeshield 21

It does have it's bad points, largely it gets a little on the racist side during one match and the series goes on a little longer than it needs to and devolves into being about the sport itself during the endgame of the series.
Still it's something I highly recommend.

It'd be easy to ignore Eyeshield 21 due to its theme, but to do so would mean missing out on a great manga. Even if American Football doesn't appeal to you it is well worth checking the series out. Why? Because it puts focus on the characters, not the sport, and has some great character development throughout. It's also drawn by one of the more talented artists working today.Wimpy Sena Kobayakawa has been running away from bullies all his life. But when the football gear comes on, things change--Sena's speed and uncanny ability to elude big bullies just might give him what it takes to become a great high school football hero! Enjoy all the bone-crushing action and slapstick comedy that this heartwarming coming-of-age story has to offer.

I have seen the films already. Also - I didn't know Solid State Society was seperate...I just presumed it was a movie of sorts, edited together from episodes of SACkadosho wrote:Where you should start is the films, just to get a bit more ground on the films.
