Blue Lock
 Even the mangaka said blue Lock is a battle shounen not a sports manga!! I see a lot of people have serious problems telling the difference between theme and genre. I'll give you an example:https://twitter.com/hoshi801_/status/1596164946198687744 Shaolin soccer Genres: Action, comedy, Fantasy.  Rocky Genres: Drama, Sport.  ---- This kind of anime gives the sports genre a bad name imo. Blue lock is not even close to be soccer. Blue lock is like naruto but instead of kicking and punching they are scoring goals. When someone uses the search feature to find sports anime then sorts results by score, Blue Lock will show up next to gems like Haikyuu, Slam Dunk, Hajime no ippo and Chihayafuru. This feels SO WRONG!!!! Blue lock has to appear next to stuff like Dragon ball Z or Naruto!! that's its real place. It's anime for kids. Tag it as Battle Shounen or something. theme: Team sports |

| This is an absolutely absurd question, it’s literally all about soccer, what else would you possibly tag it as? Wether it’s “genuine” or “real” soccer is inconsequential when that’s the entire focus of the series. |

Every player has their inner spirit that helps them to keep on playing.....(ig you didn't played any outdoor games before, that's the reason you don't understand that) Hope you understand |

| That's dumb lol, it's like trying to remove "gourmet" from Shokugeki no Souma. I mean, no food can make people suddenly naked, right? Also funny you're using Haikyuu as the counterpoint when it also tends to look like volleyball with superpower. Let's remove "Sport" from both of them, shall we? Finally, you're completely misinterpreting the mangaka's interview. It's not that he thinks it's not a sports manga, but his initial inspiration was to make a battle manga. |

| What a dumb post. The dudes on all these other sports anime practically have super powers anyway, Blue Lock just goes full battle shonen with it. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

Wether it’s “genuine” or “real” soccer is inconsequential when that’s the entire focus of the series. Genre: Action. You think people would be thrown off with the sports tag for this soccer anime, but wanna tag it with “super power” when there’s no super powers in it? Also, removing the sports tag but leaving the team sports tag? At this point I imagine you’re just trolling, you had me fall for the bait hard, well done my friend. |
| this is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve heard on this site |
| what everyone else said, except it's called football |
| This post lacks logic and seems more like an effort to bait blue lock fans. |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| they literally play football |
 |
| This must be the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. What part of a soccer anime is not meant to be tagged as soccer? Will you say the same thing about the popular anime series covering volleyball, basketball, boxing, wrestling, tennis and literally anything else? The fact it is action based is just how to emphasise the story telling and skill level, and even if it is exaggerating human abilities, it’s a fictional take on an existing sport that anybody who knows even a pinch about football or any sports for that matter can conceive. |

Everyone knows more than the mangaka!!! lol clearly you're the one who lacks critical thinking by blindly following what somebody said, even tho he said the blue lock came from trying to make a battle shounen and not a sports manga it is still by definition a sports manga |
| Idk what you mean, the whole point of this is to find the best soccer player. They're all analyzing how they should play for the best outcome in almost every single episode. |

| this is it boys, the braindead post of the week. not even halfway through the week, sasuga. |

| What? The author attempted to create battle manga but ended up with sports and somehow sports should be removed? You know the genre is given to what was actually written, not what was initially planned or whatever. And there is no reason why sports can't be crossed with other genres. If anything, I think Battle Royal should indeed be added. But it's still a sports anime. |

"everyone knows more than the mangaka!!!" You're falling decades behind on critics theories. Ever heard of a literary theorist named Roland Barthes? On 60's he published an essay named "the death of the author" where he says that basing your analysis only or majority on the author's intentions and background is a lazy way of thinking. There's a lot of things from their society, our society, reader/watcher individual interpretation that get through the author's work out of their control. "His intention was to make something like X" Well, intention isn't the only way of looking at a culture work. If everyone sees his work as Y, even if he intended to make X he ended up making Y. I strongly recommend reading his essay, it's really good. Hope you notice that looking through author's eyes is just a way of looking at their working, you can look through your own eyes and other people's too. (sorry if it's confusing, talking about philosophy in English is not on the list of things I'm good at) |
| Well the point of the anime is to make the greatest FOOTBALL striker ever. I can agree that this show is primarily psychological, but the sports tag should still be included. |

| not a particularly new take but still kinda dumb. The definition of sport according to the Oxford dictionary is: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. How the hell do the activities performed in Blue lock not involve at least one of those things? Looks like some of the crappy reviews at the top have found their way to the forum pages. It was inevitable but I will do my best to swat these shitty opinions. |
