The anime & manga is a mixture of hunger games and soccer: A survivor game between teenagers between 16-18. If you lose the game you are eliminated and your career is over forever. That sounds extremely scary for the 300 players who are passionate about football. The only one standing becomes the best striker in japan, and maybe in the whole world! The anime is extremely well constructed. It keeps the suspense up to the end, especially the first episode doesn't leave you with enough and you always want to know more. The voice actors do a very good job and you can really feel the emotions ... through their voice. Also, the animation is clean and looks smooth! There´s nothing I can complain about since I really enjoyed it. Of course teamwork is very important in football but some seem to miss the plot. Blue Lock is looking for a striker who is that good and can even compete with Ronaldo. I've been playing football in school teams since I was in elementary school. So I can say: Why are you complaining? Everyone on the team has a different task. Strikers have to score the goal, be quick. They bring success and are responsible for the goals and without goals no team can win. This is the most important task. You can't expect the striker to play with the defender. They will play teamwork yeah..if they are playing real football. Everyone plays their own role until teamwork is required. Funny how non-football players are complaining the most.

However, I also think that Yoichi is a very good protagonist. Although he has a cool personality, he still has a bit of a 'blank canvas' as well, he's not 'over-described' yet, which makes him a very good identification figure for the watcher. Jingo or a Meguru, who stand out because of the stubbornness of their personalities, that wouldn't be so possible. Yoichi's character leaves more room for development and potential in all conceivable directions.
