Synopsis

The Japan national team finished 16th in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Japan Football Association hires the football enigma Ego Jinpachi. His master plan to lead Japan to stardom is Blue Lock, a training regimen designed to create the world's greatest egotist striker. Those who fail Blue Lock will never again be permitted to represent Japan. Yoichi Isagi, an unknown high school football player conflicted about his playing style, decides to join the program in order to become the best striker in the world.

Trailer

I watched it as it aired and I love that its not just your typical sports anime. The battle royal vibe really sets it apart from most anime of its kind. Not only that, but all of the characters are so well written and each have their own personality and stand out. Most time sports anime have a few key characters that you can remember, and the rest just kind of blend into the background.
 
Another interesting premise of it is that it encourages the Japanese players to abandon the mentality they were taught and raised in to become more selfish and egotist.
