Captain Tsubasa J (キャプテン翼J) is a TV anime series, and the second adaptation of the Captain Tsubasa franchise in a TV anime series.
Description[]
The series is divided into two parts:
- First part - a retelling of the Kids' Dream arc;
- Second part - the beginning of the Battle of World Youth arc, the prologues of Shingo Aoi and Tsubasa Ozora, and the events that followed up to the end of the AFC Youth Championship qualification.
Production[]
The anime was originally broadcast by Fuji Television in Japan from 1994-10-21 to 1995-12-22 with 47 episodes. The animation was done by Studio Comet.
The second part of the anime series adapted the first 31 chapters of the Battle of World Youth manga, with the end of the match of Japan Youth vs. Uzbekistan Youth (pages 27-28). However, the series was suspended due to budget constraints as well the studio running out of material to adapt (during the anime's run, the manga was still in progress).

Trivia[]
- In the first episode, in Tsubasa's dream, where he scored a goal in a match against Iraq national football team for Japan to win 3-2 is a reference to the Agony of Doha, a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier match, where Japan did not make it to the 1994 World Cup after Iraq scored a goal at the last minute, with the match ending 2-2.
- Episode 34 was a summary of episodes 2 to 35, while the last episode was a summary of episodes 35 to 46.
- In episode 35, during the scene where Shingo Aoi arrives at the Milan airport, there is a cameo of Roberto Baggio.
