There are different kinds of genre in Anime and one of them is the “Sports Anime”, where the MC’s have an underdog story most of the times and the story proceeds them reaching their dream. We have Captain Tsubasa which is a retro football anime, Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, Hajime no Ippo etc, these are some of the best sports anime out there. Sports anime are motivational and powerful to people who love the sport and they help the fans fight their personal battles, as anime is influential and people do take it seriously.
The Second Blue Lock trailer looks promising with its unique animation style, you see some of the characters including Yoichi Isagi our protagonist playing football. Now its confirmed that the Blue Lock anime will release on 8th October, but they have a treat for fans as they will release 2 episodes in advance on September 23. During the trailer you can hear the Opening Song called “Chaos ga Kiwamaru” by Unison Sqaure Garden, the response of fans on this new trailer has been amazing and they are delighted with the quality.
Blue Lock was written by Munemuki Kaneshiro and Illustrated by Yuusuke Nomura, they began their serialization in 2018 and it was accepted well by the otakus. It has over 20 Manga Volumes and still running, and it is published under Kodansha Magazine.
The Concept of Blue Lock is based on the defeat of Japan’s team at the 2018 World Cup, and how they were missing a lethal striker upfront. This leads the Japan’s Football Federaton to create a striker who can turn the game to their side in seconds, a dangerous machinery in their team who can break the oppositions net. They gather around 300 Best players from Japan and put them in a system called “Blue Lock” where their Ego is their power and they are trained like superhumans. The story has different kinds of players trying to outsmart each other with their ego and skills, it is definitely one of the best stories out there.
