@The1-NonlyMe Defender, but don't worry, you'll end up falling in love with the position. Fullback is the most free position on the field. I've played there but I never truly realized the beauty of the position.

[@claytonrios1]

Ashitos arc with his mother especially got to me. I have seen all of these different sides of my mother as well. But I always know that she tries her best to provide her children with happiness even when she knows she can't be with us forever. That letter she made for Aoi was a particular emotional beat that worked so very well.

The OST playing during that scene... I need tis name now

[@CaptaindeadyTardis]

This is the best, so far, Football anime had to offer. I know it does not reach the heights of Slam Dunk, I read it before watching the show, but this hits home tbh. This is simply a glimpse of what Football players go through following the academy system in Europe. As a football player since Elementary, I just had to relate to this anime so hard that ep 6 (maybe or 5 idk) made me bawl tears out. And the episode where he was told that instead of being a Striker, he becomes as a fullback was something that hit home for me since I also experienced this change that I had a crisis during my HS years. I hope the story continues to become better and I do hope to read the manga soon.

[@nyaraur7623]

nah, def not. blue lock was really great. was a big fan since a year ago. when i read aoashi months ago, i was just blown away. the tactics, explanations, and overall knowledge and information it offers about football/soccer is impeccable: something that wasn't present in blue lock. this manga shows just how much of a team-oriented sport football really is. imo, blue lock hit a stale era with isagi not even improving by much, but it's stepping up again now. dont get me wrong, still a big fan of blue lock, just a bigger fan of aoashi

Ao Ashi is my fav piece of fiction i have ever consumed irrespective of the medium. I have never connected to a story more than this. I never thought their would be something that would beat One Piece but Ao Ashi did and i am not a huge manga fan but Ao Ashi is the story that got me into manga. I love Ao Ashi and will continue to love it. Hope it comes out in English so that i can collect it.

Even if someone has not watched the anime, it feels as if you are experiencing it first hand! Thankyou for that!❤

This Anime is already a SOLID 9/10. Constant football education. and the Episode with his mum's letter had me in tears I even sent it to my mum. Ashito's story relates to mine so much and that's why this anime is so good for me.

Great vid as always! I recommend the manga. For me, I liked the manga way better than the anime, idk why but I just think the manga makes everything so much better. The art also makes most scenes better, in the anime the same scenes can look cringe IMO. What I love about Ao Ashi is that, unlike other sportanimes and mangas, the mc always strives to become better. In some animanga they don’t show the hard work u need to put in to be good at a sport. That’s why I love Aoi, he loves the game and just continues practicing and reflecting so thst he can become better, a very relatable and inspiring character.

[@melia8159]

Also, Ashito not understanding football is also relatable. Rn I’m playing handball, started playing with the older ones, and I feel like I don’t understand shit and that I’m so much worse than the others. I’m mad that I didn’t start playing at an earlier age just so that I could understand the game better and be able to make better and quicker decisions. I love when animanga bring out side of sports that many people can relate to.
