Shippu! Iron Leaguer! Thread

I wanted to start a Iron Leaguer thread since there seemed to be none and was curious how many people know about this show.
The show recently had a chance to appeal itself on Super Robot Wars NEO a few years ago, and it is a show that I recommend to hot-blooded and Super-Deformed mecha fans. It also had a OVA after its run on TV.
For those who want a glimpse of this show, here are the OPs:

(Rough Synopsis)

Silver Castle is the protagonist soccer team that is also the worst ranking team as they are also the only team that refuses to play dirty be it drill spikes from feet to high voltage shocks that could fry any leaguer's circuits. After their match with Dark Prince, ace soccer player Mach Windy quits his team having grown tired of the unsportsmanship they portray. After some convincing from some loyal fans and a nomad pitcher named Magnum Ace, Mach Windy joins Silver Castle starting a whirlwind of change in the league that has forgotten fair play and sportsmanship.
Spoiler
[Silver Castle] * These are just the main protagonists
Magnum Ace: The enigmatic drifter who is a baseball leaguer. No one knows who he is or where he is from. He does however seem to know owner Ruly Ginjo's father Dr. Ginjo and a lot about Dark Prince's technology. His signature move is 44 Sonic.

Mach Windy: A hot-blooded soccer leaguer who was a former athlete for Dark Prince. He is one of the fastest leaguers out there and is known for his signature moves Mach Spin and Zigzag Shoot. He is the first outsider to join Silver Castle.

Kiai Ryuken: A karate leaguer who has been a Silver Castle player even before Magnum Ace and Mach Windy joined. He is soft-spoken and calm, but when angry releases his full power. His signature move is Ryutetsuken.

Bull Armor: An American Football leaguer who has a sad past that costed the lives of his teammates. Though hesitant at first, he joins Silver Castle as their new goalkeeper after Magnum Ace helps him control his abilities and power.

Kiwami Jurota: A kendo leaguer who has taken an interest in Magnum Ace's 44 Sonic. After meeting Magnum Ace, he joins Silver Castle as "training". He carries a shinai, and his signature move is "Suigetsu no Ken", or Sword of the Water Moon.

Top Joy: A happy-go-lucky basketball leaguer known for his engrish and his goofy attitude. But underneath that lies a dark secret. He is known for having springy legs, and his signature move is Galactica Pegasus Shoot.

GZ: Short for Ground Zero. A ice hockey leaguer who seems to know Magnum Ace, and at first starts off as an officer for Dark Prince. He later joins Silver Castle.
SIXSHOT HAS NO GAME AGAINST SEVEN CHANGER
