I will try to be as unbiased as possible as title suggests so I will list down arguments below:
Pros:
-Soundtrack is beautiful and bring tears to my eyes to this day
-Story is captivating and well thought out
-Characters are very real and voice actors are perfection
Cons:
-Too much clutter between games, unnecessary wait time between goals
-Ending during a climax seems cruel given I wanted to see what happens after in same timeline
-All animes follow different story, very annoying
Overall one of the best animes I've ever seen as I associate it strongly with my childhood, even removing the emotional aspect this is still highly recommended as a must see anime, especially if you're a fan of the 90s.
