Soccer anime Inazuma Eleven will be moving from its 9am Sunday morning slot to a new primetime slot on TV Tokyo next month on the 8th beginning at 7:26pm JST to 7:56pm according to Famitsu.

Inazuma Eleven is based off of the Level 5-developed Nintendo DS game of the same name released last year and deals with the main character, Endou Mamoru who is a very talented goalkeeper and the grandson of one of the strongest goalkeepers in Japan who died before he was born. Even though his skills are incredible, his school lacks a real soccer club as the 6 other club members don’t appear very interested in training.

As soon as a mysterious forward called Gouenji moves to Endou’s town, the young goalkeeper sets out to find and recruit members for his soccer team.
