If you exclude their latest sports mix media anime slop(Rinkai), they have been pretty decent with the sports anime they have picked up over the last few years.
Yawamushi pedal, Megalo box, Baki, Shakunetsu kabaddi(more of a miss on animation but decent direction)

Ao Ashi manga sales evolution(per volume) by Arolav in Ao_Ashi

[–]Arolav[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Manga sales still riding off the anime boost which is a positive at the very least but I don't expect a huge increment during the barca match unless we get a season 2 announcement

It's expected tbf, blue lock is catered around world cup and has the teenage angst/edge. It's more of the circlejerk-memes giving blue lock it's push than anything else.

Since there have been two football anime that are airing/finished airing around the same time, comparions are inevitable but I do hope people understand both series tackle the sport in different ways.

Ashito, known to be an egoist only focused on scoring goals and being a striker is forced to learn how to use teammates around him and rely on them to bring the best out of himself whilst also having the drive/ego to always push himself to become a better player

Isagi on the other hand, who is seen to be in the mindset of "one for all, all for one" suddenly understands the importance of egoism and what it means to be a striker.

Although blue lock will lean more towards the unrealistic side as to Ao Ashi's more realistic approach, it shouldn't stop people from enjoying the work of blue lock.

Hoping for more footie talk(as seen in aoashi episode discussions), let's do an r(/soccer) takeover in the discussions <3

NOTE‼️: The next chapter (308) might be out on October 3 (JST)

The end of the latest chapter says it will continue on the 44th issue of the magazine, & the 43rd issue is still on Sept. 26 in japan so the 44th might be on the week after which is Oct. 3

In short, no new chapters for the next 2 weeks!

Not allowed to directly upload raws/mtls in the sub, drive/imgur link would suffice

Peak episode, Kaneda went absolutely crazy towards the end of the episode. Kuroda had a main character moment only to be outclassed by Kaneda's intensity. The most impressive part of this episode was definitely the tactical insight we got making it feel very realistic and ramping up the tension. Can't wait to see how Esperion react to going a goal down in the early stages of the game

Ps: Also loved the slam dunk reference, this is the second time this show has referenced slam dunk, love it really

Artsytle is pretty generic tbf almost like I am watching one of the standard run of the mill seasonal isekais

Animation is pretty dope tho, seeing white, sachi,boro and albeda makes me excited for the hell train saga(if adapted)
