If you're a fan of sports, better yet a fan of soccer, then I have the PERFECT anime recommendation for you!
The anime we're going to be talking about is "Blue Lock".
This anime will be based off the manga and let me tell you, it's going to be a WILD ride.
This manga has been my favorite series ever since I started reading it earlier this year.
Synopsis:
"After reflecting on the current state of Japanese soccer, the Japanese Football Association decides to hire the enigmatic and eccentric coach Jinpachi Ego to achieve their dream of winning the World Cup.
Believing that Japan has lacked an egoistic striker hungry for goals, Jinpachi initiates the Blue Lock—a prison-like facility where three hundred talented strikers from high schools all over Japan are isolated and pitted against each other. The sole survivor of Blue Lock will earn the right to become the national team's striker, and those who are defeated shall be banned from joining the team forever.
Selected to join this risky project is Yoichi Isagi, a striker who failed to bring his high school soccer team to the national tournament. After choosing to pass to a teammate who missed instead of scoring on his own, he could not help but wonder if the results would have been different had he been more selfish. Using this golden opportunity given by the Blue Lock Project, Yoichi aims to clear his doubts and chase his ultimate desire—to become the greatest striker in the world and lead Japan to World Cup glory." - [Written by MAL Rewrite]
This anime is on a level of its own. Gives me Kuroko vibes but much more extreme. The psychological impact each player gives and the character development is like no other series! From the depths of feeling like a failed player full of regrets to building the biggest ego of any other strikers!
Here is the trailer.
Just the animation alone is enough to put this anime on the top 5 of all time.
Stay tuned and look forward to this MASTERPIECE.
