Summary of the story:

Aoi Ashito has become the center of the school’s football team in his third year of junior high school. Ashton, who is the main reason for his team’s wins with his thirst for scoring and unpredictable movements, loses control in a game, and one wrong move leads to the loss and elimination of his team. Ashita, who sees his hopes and dreams lost, then meets a man named Fukuda Tatsuya, who wants to bring the Japanese national football team to the top level in the world.

Fukuda, who noticed Ashito’s exceptional talent and potential, invited him to participate in the Tokyo Spurion youth team test. Traveling from a small town to Tokyo and being in an unfamiliar environment where other talented and experienced people are present creates difficult and different conditions for Ashito’s talent to flourish.

Sports anime have always been among the popular genres of anime. Now, if the desired sport is football, this attention will be even more. But football animes do not have the easy task of creating attraction and becoming a work that attracts the audience.

Sports animes, primarily if they are focused on football, apart from the need for a coherent structure, need a distinct and non-stereotype feature to advance the events and matches. For example, the Captain Tsubasa anime showed an exciting and memorable fantasy habit breaking in the football game by using the charms caused by the exaggeration of sports movements surprisingly and epically, by introducing the heroes who crushed the laws of physics.

But in Aoashi’s football anime, everything happens logically and realistically.

No more wildly exaggerated stunts, fancy tricks and jumps, net-splitting, wall-piercing ballistic shots, never-ending watermelon-striped grass, huge stadium crowds roaring for a school game, and long waits for a shot in the middle of a flashback. Memories and dialogues are not lined up.

Even Ashito’s highlighted talent expresses the natural logic of football, which has been seen in various forms in the myths of its history. Well, with these conditions, at first glance, we can expect a boring series that introduces the principles of a popular and well-known sport. But what is Aoashi’s trick to save himself from being caught in this vortex?

Aoi Ashito, being at the top of the story, is its central character. This issue is emphasized in the naming of Aoashi’s manga and anime. The makers have combined the first part of the protagonist’s name and surname with a word game. A combination in which Ao means blue and refers to the color of the Japanese national team shirt, and Ashi means foot reminds us of football. This combination also refers to its new generation in other ways. Aoi is also a character with an innate talent that should be developed by interacting with experienced players and coaches. Therefore, all the essential characters around Aoi provide grounds for her growth.

Thanks to its experienced creators, Aoashi’s anime succeeds in realistically portraying the fundamentals of football.

A lent and successful example of such a character in the anime world is Luffy from the Piece. Apart from having a big goal in mind, Luffy becomes the center of attention and acceptance with this impact and effectiveness of gathering and revealing his great hidden potential. For this reason, Aoi, as a character whose entire basis of the story originates from the definition of her situation, steps forward as the center of attention. With the help of the powerful presence of the side characters, she accompanies the audience along this path. This modeling from other leading examples requires a flourishing characterization, smooth storytelling, and standard formatting, which the production team’s experience, especially in anime, has helped to improve.

The fact that the anime production was done by IJ Production Studio is a part of the quality of the output.

Have another quality. A studio whose numerous productions include famous sports animes such as Prince of Tennis, Ace of Diamond, Run with the Wind, and Haikyuu is enough to expect a sports anime. In addition, the presence of Masahiro Yokotani as the writer of the screenplay raises the level of expectations. Yokotani is the writer of anime scripts such as Beelzebub, Bunny Girl Senpai, and the sports anime Free.

The coherence of the script is visible when the story outside the competition field sets the stage for the introduction of the next challenge and competition. Besides, part of the catchiness of the story is related to the interaction of the co-stars and, on another level, the emotional relationships between the attractive characters of the anime, whether serious or comedic.

On the other hand, the drama in the story that starts with Ashito’s relative poverty, although it is faint, opens the account to issues such as financial problems and the family’s living conditions in polishing the motivations and focusing on the primary goal of the story.

In addition, the fact that Ashita came to Tokyo alone from a small town has expanded the definition of his independent character (the same thing that many people prefer to support Kojiro Hyuga – or Kakuro Yuga) in front of Captain Tsubasa. In addition to these characteristics, Ashito has a strong presence even in comedy sections.

In fact, in the creation of this character, we have tried to use all the events that are effective in the development of his characters, such as the conflict between financial wealth and talent, being in the center of attention and being alone, being innocent in behavior and playing dumb while being talented. So it is natural that this rawness and ambitions related to Ashito’s age range are more noticeable at the beginning of the work.

In addition, Arashi’s anime pays attention to professional football issues and perspectives, such as the thinking of a coach or nutrition consultant and even psychology. Therefore, wherever the techniques and tactics are tied with the team spirit and the players’ physical conditions, the capacities necessary to step on the professional path are carefully addressed.

To read the rest of the text, it is better to have seen the anime’s first season.

With Ashita as the hero in the spotlight, it’s only natural that some of the action outside of the match is dedicated to Ashito’s emotional connection to characters like Hana, other than teammates and rivals. In the same way, if the account for Hana is about other competitors, it will end as an excuse to enter into the technical aspects and structural information of football. Of course, Hanna’s presence in the story also addresses the importance of sports nutrition, which is an essential factor in professional football.

But all these issues turn into an exciting climax in the narrative in the most important twist of the story in the first season, which is the change of Ashito’s position. This a problem that the anime was secretly preparing for from the beginning, and if Aoashi was only a realistic sports anime based on the principles of progress in professional football, now it has an important message like the need to change the style of play (or life) based on hidden talents. Becomes.

That is, the story does not rely only on having interest, effort, and perseverance for progress and considers change based on existing conditions necessary to grow with full strength. In the same way, Arashi anime expresses how to find ways to succeed in life from the heart of its inherent charms. For this reason, paying attention to these listed points at the heart of the story’s events is not dull at the story’s events and is not vapid, teaching ambitions with a warm tone.

Anime similar to Aoashi anime

The fact is that sports animes are similar in general, and these are the central ideas for establishing the story and shaping the competition, which makes the difference.

The two animes introduced below have implemented this distinction in the type of sport and the style of their talent competition, respectively, which is needed to make a non-repetitive and refreshing anime in a sports field.

Haikyuu anime (!!Haikyuu)

Hinata Shoyu falls in love with volleyball after watching a national championship match on TV. After joining the school volleyball team, he lost against a team with a star named Kageyama in the composition. Still, with more motivation to pass Kageyama’s level, he soon plays with him in his new team, and now he has to face more significant challenges together to progress. let them

Haikyuu is another highly successful experience of IJ Production Studio in making sports anime. In addition, apart from the symbolic presence of the crow in both animes, the main hero is passionate and has an innate talent that plays a vital role in developing the team’s game.

Blue Lock anime

Three hundred of Japan’s top football talents in the forward position enter a project called Blue Lock. Shinichi is a mysterious and eccentric coach who sees the achievement of the world championship dream as finding a full-fledged striker in Blue Lock. Only one person who wins the tough competition of Blue Lock has the right to be in the national team. Yuichi Isagi, who missed out on being selected for the national team due to the weakness of the school team, decides not to miss this opportunity to fulfill his big dream.

Both animes deal with football, but Blue Lock has a different setting than Arashi. However, there are similar goals, such as reaching the national team and making it more robust. In addition, the main hero has high potential in terms of mental and alertness to situations.
