Aoashi is a sports anime that revolves around soccer. It tells the narrative of Ashito Aoi, a third-year middle school student from Ehime Prefecture, who lives in a small Japanese village. If you enjoy soccer anime like Captain Tsubasa and Inazuma Eleven, this is the show for you. Then Ao Ashi will be perfect, Aoyama-Kun.

Aoashi: What’s the Storyline of the Anime?

Aoashi plot

Aoashi is a true traditionalist, perhaps a tad less so than the third member of the “blue trio” of soccer manga, Be Blues, but nonetheless traditional. There are no superpowers, no world-saving subplots, and no science-fiction aspects in this game, just soccer.

Ashito is a gifted soccer player with a direct demeanor. Sadly for him and the rest of the squad, the outspoken and forthright Ashito provoked a tragic situation, which resulted in their elimination from one of his most important competitions. How will he realize his dream now that his chances of entering a high school with a good soccer club have faded?

There are some spoilers ahead!

Tatsuya Fukuya, a veteran of J-Club Team Tokyo City Esperion and coach of the youth team, has seen Aoi’s soccer ability. As a result, Tatsuya invites Aoi to Tokyo to try out for the J-Club young squad.

A representative from Esperion speaks with him about his shoes and urges him to continue. The match is played by a cheerful Ashito. But this is where things start to go wrong. The Youth squad has completed their warm-up! They begin playing for real and immediately destroy the selection team. Ashito tries hard, but when that nice senior appears again, he becomes even more flustered.

Akutsuu, the sole one from the previous year was chosen. He calls Ashito trash and thoroughly destroys our protagonist for the rest of the match. Despite this, Ashito remains undeterred. His mother and brother’s efforts keep him going. His determination is stronger than it has ever been.

Following his enrollment into Tokyo Esperion Youth, Aoashi concentrated on Ashito’s connection with his mother, Noriko, whom he must leave behind. Both sides of the relationship were depicted in the anime. Noriko couldn’t bring herself to tell Ashito how pleased she was with him, so she sent him a letter.

While it was good to see Noriko have some screen time to build the essential familial bonds in Ashito Aoi’s life, the newest episode was a bit slower than the others thus far.

The Aoashi anime is now running on the NHK Educational (E Tele) Channel in Japan. International sports anime fans, on the other hand, will be able to watch the anime on Crunchyroll.

The number of episodes in the series has yet to be announced. The precise figure of episodes that Aoashi will have will be revealed in future announcements. Let’s enjoy this trailer and look forward to the premiere of episode 6 on May 14, 2022.

There’s no alternative to a classic sports anime based on a high-quality long-running sports manga. And with anime like Aoashi and Blue Lock, the anticipation is even higher because, in truth, we haven’t seen a terrific soccer anime since Ginga e Kickoff aired 10 years ago in Spring 2012.
