New anime puts football at the center of the story and grabs fans’ attention

Anime is a variety of works that can cover stories ranging from demons, monsters, and aliens to cooking, sports, and school life. Among this variety blue castle this is a new anime that debuted on the day October 8 and its central plot element is a very popular sport among Brazilians: football! With intimacy World Cup 2022let’s find out more about the offer of this anime?

blue castle this is a work written Muneyuki Kaneshiro as well as Yuusuke Nomura tell the story of a sports training program that aims to bring Japan to champion world championship. But how will that happen, given that Japan has never won the Cup before?

It is for this and blue castle – the name given to the program – which brought together about 300 high school students train together in a kind knock outuntil the best striker is chosen and voted as the best player in the world, bringing victory to his country along with the title.

Isagi Yuichi, the protagonist of the anime.

Even though the plot sounds juvenile, it makes interesting approaches to Team work, team sport as well as individuality/selfishness. The best players in the world (in history) are admittedly selfish, and even if they work in a team with 10 other athletes, they always prioritize their own development and success.

The goal is for a group of 300 young people not only to understand football together, but also to strive to become “best of all“who wouldn’t care eliminate your companions learning. Yes, I said delete.

In the first episode, young people are recruited Japan Football Union and, after acceptance, the rule is imposed:those who dropped out will never again have the opportunity to play for the Japanese national team.. It makes every boy give everything for their dream, even if it means ending someone else’s dream. As it was said: selfishness is the key word here..

The boys train together at Blue Lock.

O episode 1 already showed us this dispute between Isagi Yuichi (the protagonist) and his other comrades, making it clear that this will not be a fun sports story filled with “One for all and all for one“. This approach, still so different from the sports bent, caught the attention of the public and has already generated a storm of comments on social networks for the first episode.

If you are a football fan, you will definitely love this story and pick up a few references to real players. Two Brazilians are mentioned in the first episode: Leather as well as Zico, great names in the history of national football.

blue castle is in the catalog crispy roll and its episodes will be released weekly every Saturday.
