Ao Ashi is the first 24-episode anime I watched while airing, which means I watched this weekly for 6 months. And I loved it. I won't deny that I did not enjoy some episodes in the 1st half as much, but the 13th episode completely surprised me and turned the story on it's head. It seemed like I knew exactly where the story was going in the first half but that completely changes in the 2nd half, and it made sense later why the first half was slow and why they created a certain environment before going in the 2nd act. This anime did a great job in showing the mental struggles of an athlete and that things won't always go as you want in this profession. You have to adapt according to your skills. And, as you would expect from a sports anime, there are plenty of cheer-worthy moments as well.

I sometimes don't watch anime in dubbed because they often choose the wrong English voice for some specific characters, it just doesn't fit sometimes.. but with this one they did excellent 👍 everyone's voice fits them perfectly!

This show doesn't stray from your typical anime sports show where the MC is the underdog but he must work his way up, but with this one the story feels a lot more genuine, thanks to the drama and the emotions expressed very well in the animation

However my one problem is the movement, while they're actually playing the game, (and all the other sports anime I've seen are victims of this too beside like 2), moments that should be intense are watered down due to the slow movement and choppy scenes like it's a flip book! Times like this should be greeted my fast paced fluent actions like a fighting scene in other shows

Overall it's a great show and the drama revolving around the MC and his own personal issues is what makes this great 👍

Btw there's also a love triangle going on, it's settle but its there, and it's a lot to build on if they choose to, that would take this anime to the next level.

I'm mid-season (episode 12) and I'm still not sure if I like this show. The protagonist is your typical dumb obnoxious kid that has a lot of potential to become a professional football player but ironically doesn't really know how to play with teammates and lacks all kinds of basic skills. He's given the opportunity to play in one of the best school teams in Tokyo after the team's coach sees him play.

In theory it sounds great but in reality it follows the same pattern many other shows have already overdone: protagonist can't do something, people make him feel dumb and useless for it, protagonist has a mystical revelation and does something "amazing" in a crucial moment, outsiders have a 10 minute commentary about it, etc. Rinse and repeat.

Hopefully this is only the beginning and the show gets less repetitive in the second half of the season. It's pretty good tho'.

Aoashi is one of the best sports anime that is beginning to air in Spring 2022 and is similar to Blue Lock and Captain Tsubasa. The animation even looks professional because it is based on true manga stories. It describes how the youth of candidates becomes a beautiful kid in Japan. The casts of the characters sound perfect.

I don't often go out of my way to rate things or publicly share my thoughts on things, but this anime is incredible and if we don't get a season 2, I might start a riot. The characters are well crafted and feel unique. They sometimes fit some preexisting anime stereotypes, but the characters also feel fresh and worthy of investment. The in-game action/player development/power level creep is exciting to watch and the episodes end on cliffhangers that draw you in. They do such a good job of creating tension with on and off the field obstacles in Aoi's life. It's also wonderful to see a love story developing that isn't based on fan service. The art style and actual animation is really high quality and for 24 episodes, they've done a beautiful job of making sure the cuts/transitions flow well. Intro and outro songs are playlist adds, absolute fire. I can't say enough good things about this anime, please check it out for yourself and help get a season 2! I don't normally watch shows as they come out, but this show had me in front of my TV or computer every Saturday, y'all are lucky and get to watch the first season in one swoop.

As people tend to watch a lot of sports anime, some of the story become as cliché as it can get. They follow the same route like many others such as, a kid, with or without any special abilities, meet friends, training, enter competition and the story end with a high note (usually the team that MC plays for win the competition).

But, Ao Ashi, while it seems to follow the generic road, it does not lead to the same conclusion, the story itself is about a kid from Ehime, enter a youth team for an existing club (in the anime not real life) and began to know what soccer is all about. His brain and knowledge on the game change from a Sunday League IQ into a professional player mind during the course of the story, The story itself is just a summary of how a kid enter a youth team in order to become a professional. While there are few exaggerate element , this is the most real as it can get.

There is no super power like Captain Tsubasa or Inazuma Eleven or there is no illogical skills which can be seen in Blue Lock. All the training and tactics seems to be more lean towards realism and while others soccer storyline have either a broken MC who superb all the way from the start to finish or a weak MC who gradually become the best, Ao Ashi tend to push for a different route. The MC have major flaws that cannot be changes(physical) and he only have his tenacity to learn and his inborn talent of bird eye view.

For people who want a fast bombastic and crazy stunt, this anime is not for you. The anime is very slow pace in term of character development. Hence, while it does have a good storyline, the anime might not be your cup of tea if you don't like anime with slow build up.

The story is good. I think what it lacks is the intensity and thrill that other sports anime gives. It has the potential to be one of the best only if they could make the matches more nail biting.

The end of the season in general was excellent, how did we felt towards every character & what their backstories are & build their characters starts with Ashito wich was perfect, It was literally flawless! The season is perfect for the upcoming seasons! And how the season showed us all aspects of football, such as the inevitable sacrifices and the feeling of the players, especially Ashito, they showed all aspects of Ashito, his sad and happy side, and the childish side after him laughing at the trivial things, and how Hana is the character who was only interested in the world of football because of her love to her brother, then Ashito appears and after she saw the enthusiasm in Ashito's eyes. It reminds her to her brother once when he was like him!

This was my opinion of the season.

I've seen many anime, but this one is the one that has impacted me the most. The character development is really accurate to how some players will think in real life, but what I like the most is how those character feelings are portrayed in the episodes. The shadowing, the facial expressions, and coloring really adds to the emotion. The way these characters are written make them easy for the audience to connect with at least one of the characters, so many experiences that a player can go through and this show helps us understand the difficult moments a player has to undergo. Another important fact that I seriously love about this anime, is that the story is not really rushed and they pay attention to so many details. So far in my opinion, this is the anime that has been the most accurate to how people would think and feel in real life. Life is not always about blue skies and rainbows and this anime is one of the few that have been able to show us that. An absolutely beautiful show, well written, and filled with amazing character development.

Many sports anime come and go over the years, some barely staying in the memory of viewers. However, every so often, something appears that grabs viewers' attention and Ao Ashi has achieved that this Spring 2022 season.

Ao Ashi frames itself as kind of a rags to riches story. Ashito Aoi is clearly talented; he and everyone around him know that much. However, he has to climb more obstacles than most due to his familial situation, competing against people who stand in the way of his road to success. Many sports anime dramatise the sport itself while simplifying everything else around the players and teams, while Ao Ashi was totally relatable and realistic.

Coming to the technical aspects, the OST was sane and the animation by Production I. G (the studio behind other sports anime like Haikyuu, Run With The Wind, Kuroko No Basket) was clean and was consistent. Compared to other works by the same studio, Ao Ashi felt bit behind in terms of excitement or relativity, however it was effective enough to deliver it's story against the backdrop of a protagonist who is trying to make his mark (I relate it to Diamond No Ace, which I also rated the same). It might be the top sports anime, but I will hold my horses for Blue Lock, since it involves the same sport.

My Rating : 7.5/10.

At first, I thought it was just like any other sports anime-until I watched it. From family struggles to character development to crafting a story that feels real, everything was spot on. I'm still confused as to why such a great anime has a low number of ratings.

The main character, Aoi, is bound to become your favorite. A first-year student on his journey to becoming a professional football player, he goes through incredible growth. There are many scenes in this anime that will make you feel emotionally connected, and that's what I love the most about it.

Whether you're a sports fan or not, you're going to love this anime. It's a must-watch!

What a masterpiece I won't forget it at rest of my life Always a deep logic what a smooth , clean and relative environment and atmosphere I'm grateful to company that created such a legendary anime I'm on Episode 21 and I'm just pin on aoashi.

I've watched a great product after a long time it seems 24 episodes are really less for season one for how it created brilliant.

What makes Ao Ashi exceptional is its ability to balance emotion and realism perfectly. The main character, Ashito Aoi, is not just another overpowered protagonist; he is relatable, flawed, and constantly evolving. His journey from a small-town boy to a rising football talent is filled with challenges, setbacks, and hard-won victories. The way the anime handles his development is nothing short of brilliant-it feels authentic, inspiring, and deeply human.

The tactical depth of Ao Ashi is another reason it deserves endless praise. Unlike many sports anime that rely on flashy moves or supernatural elements, Ao Ashi dives deep into the actual mechanics of football. It explores formations, vision, positioning, and the mental side of the game in ways that are both educational and fascinating. Watching this anime feels like learning real football while being entertained by a powerful narrative.

The supporting characters are equally compelling. Each teammate has a distinct personality, background, and role within the team. Their interactions feel natural, and their personal growth adds richness to the story. Whether it's about overcoming personal fears, competing for a position, or learning to trust one another, every subplot enhances the emotional depth of the anime.

Shounen anime tropes and archetypes. Shallow football understanding. High stakes and drama over everything. Pure generic garbage pandering to middle schoolers.

Best Sports Anime Ever!

I hate having to compare it to other shows, but really when you compare it the Blue Lock, Number 24 or Free, there is something lacking, but it is still worth watching.

Aoashi is a sports anime that is very good but not a 9 or 10 currently. It first aired in Spring 2022 and is similar to Blue Lock, but doesn't have the quirky badass characters in Blue Lock. The animation is very professional, and people tell me that it is based on true manga stories.

The English Dub casts of the characters sound perfect, and enjoyable to listen to their voices. I am looking forward to season 2.

ENG Ao Ashi tells an inspiring story through the eyes of Ashito, a passionate young football player chasing his dream. The matches are intense and often come down to the wire, which keeps the excitement alive. The animation is solid, and the art style gives off a vibe similar to My Hero Academia.

Ashito's character development is one of the anime's strongest points. Watching him grow from a reckless, solo-minded player into a more strategic and team-focused one is satisfying. However, one major flaw is how almost every character seems overly fixated on Ashito, which hurts the depth and realism of the supporting cast.

Overall, it's an enjoyable and motivating sports anime, though it struggles with balance at times.

Rating: 8/10.
