The Koganedai Downtown FC Golden Kids haven't won a single game since they formed. The captain and goal keeper, Goal Kitagawa is determined to win a game with the current members before he moves away next month. However, even after all the determination to win the next game they lose terribly, extending their losing streak to 22 games. Even the adults in the community who support the team begin to get fed up with all the losses.
At school, the constantly losing Golden Kids members start to get picked on and bullied, and the adults worry that the bullying will only get worse. When the team members become depressed and lose their will to play, they see Goal practicing outside, silently and as hard as he can. Once again, the Golden Kids start to practice intensely to get that one win. The next game for the Golden Kids will be against the second best team in the Jonan League, the Wild Tigers.
Will the Golden Kids finally get their first win ever? What will the adults decide to do with the team?

Where it came from
Golden★Kids was produced by the Japanese animation studio Shirogumi and released in 2011 as an original net animation. Created in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the project was commissioned as a social initiative to provide comfort and encouragement to children affected by the disaster. The production prioritized a gentle, optimistic tone, utilizing Shirogumi’s expertise in 3D computer graphics to create a visually accessible and heartwarming experience.
The character design and visual direction were crafted to emphasize simplicity and emotional warmth, stripping away complex narrative conflicts in favor of themes centered on community, resilience, and hope. By distributing the episodes online, the studio ensured that the content remained freely accessible to families during a period of significant displacement and uncertainty. It is widely regarded as a sincere, non-commercial effort by the studio to utilize their medium for immediate humanitarian relief.
