If you're looking for a traditional soccer anime, you'll be very disappointed. Putting that aside, if you're looking for a short-running show with some comedic moments, you may find enjoyment in Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun.
Aoyama's perfect character is very boring to me, he doesn't have any conflict or any sort of progression in the twelve episode season. He doesn't have any motive to join Fujimi High School's underdog soccer team besides that the jerseys are white. Aoyama has a legion of followers, both male and female, that see him as an idol. Their "Clean, clean Aoyama!" chants get annoying very quick. Aoyama's only interesting character trait is that he's a germaphobe. He won't eat food prepared by other people, he rarely allows people to touch him. One of Aoyama's underdeveloped traits is that he's a gamer, and he acts very differently in-game while in-person.
Most of the side characters are dull and they are only used for comic relief. Most of the jokes that are from the side characters are used time and time again. There's just not enough time to develop the side characters to be multi-dimensional. Most of the other people on the soccer team are given one trait, or just there. Bottom line, they're mostly forgettable. I'll give the show some slack because there are only twelve episodes. Only occasionally are the side characters successful in their comedic attempts, and I find it most often with Gotou's interactions with the other characters. The times when Aoyama interacts with the other germaphobe makes for some interesting dialogue.
The times when Fujimi High is playing soccer is very predictable, and with Aoyama only actually trying in the final five minutes, the result can always be known. The most interesting episodes in this show are the times when Aoyama & crew are put into a unique situation outside of school, or when the side characters get the spotlight.
Unfortunately, some of the most interesting characters are the ones only seen in one or two episodes. The Ozaki-centered episode is by far the most interesting, with his attempts to make an interesting manga based on Aoyama's actions in school. Umeya's episode with Gouto is also one of the better ones.
The OST is nothing special, its generic j-rock that you can find in most animes. The animation is clean and fluid. The animation style used while Aoyama is gaming is a nice change of pace. The outro animation also has a unique style. Passable.
All in all, Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun seems rushed, poorly planned, and executed inadequately. Aoyama's singular trait is boring, and most of the gaffs of the side characters are overused. The show's strongest strength is when they do succeed at comedy, and it's seldom used side characters. There are better shows for you to watch.
