Yep, I caught the Football fever and so did Anime this year! Japan blessed us with two great football anime in 2022, Ao Ashi and Blue Lock. Both of them propose a way to win the World Cup. But are any of them viable?

    The Ao Ashi manga has slowly emphasised on "youth development" more and more, especially within the recent arcs. The ideas of club fees, player-assigned agents, clean pitches for kids, continental-network of scouts, local communities that have integrated football in their culture, and the restrictiveness of Japan's managerial certificates. Ao Ashi's manga has brought up so many topics about cultivating itself as a country and how it compares to Europe. Kobayashi has a legitimate idea for how Japan should go in the future and how Ashito is going to be the one to revolutionise Japan.
  • captain tsubasa not only changed japanese football forever,that anime is crazy popular in spain and latin america,it inspired many later football stars like aguero,inesta,torress etc

    W for calling it football
  • @xaviscorner
    This was a great analysis of both. I'm just insanely happy we got 2 good football animes last year and I'm hoping they both get 2nd seasons because damn they're exciting
  • Definitely the most I've ever learned about soccer, I mean foot-NO WAIT! PLEA-

    Akkutsu and Ashito presence is the message on how to improve Japan as a football nation. Akkutsu came from abandonment. His mom left him. Has to feed himself. Ashito come from some country side town. Both struggle economically. The message is that talent can come from anywhere. Financial situation prevent some talent from being found. Make the financial barrier a thing in the past, allow more scholarship, make more 18 yo athletes but still teach them how to mature. Then, Japan can improve as football nation.
  • The only players that were wasted were the players from first selection because after that players were the ones who gave up to tho ego of the stars in blue lock, example how team x gave in to barou's ego they didn't have the competitive edge required to be the best in the world after that the second selection was a series of permutations and combinations where you make a team of three and move ahead where you face other team in that round everyone had at least 2 chance to go ahead and even after that there was the wild card round and people don't understand that the power scaling between blue lock and ao aishi is completely different while ao aishi starts from bottom blue lock already starts from the top they already know all the tactics and considering Japanese style of team defense unless you are a special case like nagi everyone has to learn defensive schemes we see this in ao aishi too when Fukuda asks everyone from team a except gk to play on the opposite position against team b so they are decent defensive playera

    On that game against Belgiun you talked about, japan lost not because their defense was bad, i was because on the second half of the game Belgium switched their tatics while japan remained almost the same turn out their plays are predictable once you get it, their players can't adapt on their own almost like they are robots who work only in one function which is major flaw if wanna play on a world class level

    I think blue lock is unrealistic but I think character lile barou would never arrived to that development without blue lock it makes mindset better at least what I think though people has lives outside socccer or football so ao ashi is good more reaalistic..... In the end even if it does not directly change the world cup, it could indirectly be what the players needed and lack to improve and better.. They might be there as they almost got but what matters is to keep the drive and maybe you will get lucky and can grab on the W...... The mechanism of luck.... Japan I doubt willl win the world cup but they can get up there and should not be underestimatrd

    whos gonna tell him (about meta vision in the blue lock manga)

    as a mangareader, Bluelock itself mocks the very idea of having 11 forwards in a team and they get to play vs the U20 japanese team. The early premises gives you a false impression that strikers is above everything else. later on it dissuades from that idea and actually focuses on other positions.
