    ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!

    Being a manga reader of Blue Box, I can confirm, the anime adaptation is really faithful to the manga. The animation is just BREATHTAKING. The down to earth romance storyline this has, with sports elements and motivational one liners, this is the perfect anime to upswing your mood. While Blue Lock remains my most fav manga, this comes in a close second. The MC is extremely likable and you start rooting for him in his pursuit of his crush. The scenes with Chinatsu Senpai (his crush) are so beautiful that I had to watch them in 0.75x and replay a lot of times. I've never seen beautiful animation like this before in a series like this before.
