Been looking for a good football anime, hopefully animation doesn't drop the ball (heh) and the writing stays consistent. Really hoping this stays good

I really liked the first episode, and I'm honestly curious to how well his path takes him. They really did well in presenting the whole entire episode from start to finish. Can't wait for more.

Good start. I liked the MC , at least he's not a wimp. I thought first he's brainless but actually, he has potential when it comes to playing strategically. Looking forward for the next episodes

For people who have played football in youth teams of professional teams or amateurs ones, football related sequences feel really stupid. Football is the least compatible sport for anime because there is not much action going on in 90 minutes compared to other sports and they try to spice things up with idiotic things that would never happen in football matches.

Also, the main character is a basically cheap copy of Sawamura from Daiya no Ace with his character and relationship with his teammates.

I’m always fan of an good sports series. This first episode is a banger. As an athlete in rl I know this guy has the right talent to be good, he is a sports bakka 🙈🤷‍♂️ Just like me 😂 - hoping for a long season 💫

That was a good start. I like the MC. He isn't all about instinct and stuff and actually practises and pays attention.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Yeah, well to a certain extent because they have not won the champions league in about four years, but they have been in the semifinals twice in the last four years, so I guess that is true.

This is soccer (or as you Americans call it football) much within the reigns of Captain Tsubasa and the like, and is at the core of it all, Shonen-ish for the young teens.


You got it wrong there. It's American who call it soccer, British call it football.
Also Ao Ashi is seinen, not shounen, because it incorporates real tactical insights of football which are used in top flight football in europe (idk if japanese youth implement it tho).
Many football fans will appreciate this anime since there is little to none bullshit superpower involved.



I think that's some unfair slander to Inazuma Eleven

I can see a few similarities to other soccer animes (which is only natural of course). I hope there will be some fresh ideas as well, though. For now, I think it definitely has potential 👌🏼

I never usually watch sports anime. but I'm a lifelong West Ham fan, and their recent form has reignited my love of football. As a kid I played and watched it semi regularly, nowadays I just watch the occasional WH game and follow England's international games.

I'd had my eye on the manga of this and Blue Lock for a while, thinking as it's a sport I'm actually kind of into, maybe they would be right the sports anime for me.

This episode was just average for me tho, boring in parts but I guess they have to set up the story, the ending was at least done well. I'll stick with it and hope it picks up in the coming eps.

I hope we meet some interesting characters in the Tokyo try outs.

Maybe Blue Lock will be more what I'm looking for, or who knows, by the end of Ao Ashi maybe I'll be super into it.

Unless the MC ends up being a football player in Oceania or Central America prioritizing the money and the party it would be worth watching it, otherwise I guess just watch the Sunderland serie in Netflix its the best football documentary ever done

After watching episode 1, I can only say this is the first time I don't like the main character of a sports anime. I've watched KnB, Haikyuu, Capt. Tsubasa, yowamushi pedal, Diamond no ace, all of these anime the main characters are not too distracting to look at .Is this maybe because the first time I see the main character who is arrogant?

I give 3/5

Truly a compelling start. Been saving this season for a while so I can binge it and its about to start wrapping up soon so I couldn't resist. MC is a hot headed ball hogging arrogant forward that defenders like me love to eat up. That mentality is definitely not going to fly in the big leagues so I guess that's the obvious direction of his character arc. He seems like a good dude otherwise tho which is interesting.

Also wow he straight up went Zinedine Zidane on that mf in the middle of the game. Can't say I blame him tho.

Gotta stand up for Mama no matter what.

I've always enjoyed sports anime, and I'm absolutely loving this one. The football team's pronunciation was perfect. The MC is still growing on me; his personality is chaotic, but he had every right to headbutt the guy who insulted his mother. The coach, on the other hand, seems to be a former pro football player, and our MC piqued his interest. Not surprised there.

His brother was honestly amazing. He provided his brother with the support he needed to achieve his dreams.
