Blue Lock

Both are new awesome soccer animes that aired in 2022, and they both have lots of hype and nail-biting moments.
Both recent hit soccer series. While Ao Ashi is more grounded and Blue Lock is more exaggerated fantasy, if you're watching one you likely enjoy shonen anime, sports anime and football/soccer. So you will likely get at least some enjoyment out of the other series too.

Both have a football theme, but for Blue Lock we are shown the ambition of a striker who is faced with obstacles and difficult training between fellow strikers from all over the country, for Aoashi we are shown the fate of a striker who is required to be in the wing back position in order to become the perfect striker.
a good anime that is centered around football and some special players
Vision. Each MC has extraordinary vision and foresight of the field. The way these authors showcase the application of vision in offense and defense creates a really cool comparison. One focuses on how vision can grow the team, while the other shows how foresight can pave the path for the individual.
Both anime are based on soccer but focus on different topics. Blue Lock is more action packed but Ao Ashi is more realistic.
these both are soccer/futball anime where the mc tries to be the best at what they do while they learn to better themselves in the process

Both series have protagonists who have faced circumstances that motivated them to join a sports camp/organization on their journey to become the best players. They meet new players in which many of them have their background stories. These animes portray the essence of holistic teamwork as well as individual competitiveness.

Both are top tier soccer anime. Both focus on an MC trying to find what makes him unique on the soccer field to put him above the rest to continue advancing in the Japanese soccer tiers.
while both have football as a common theme, ao ashi is more realistic and targets the seinen audience. BL is shounen on the other hand. As a seinen fan BL was a tad bit cringe for me in the earlier episodes but as Isagi progresses it fills you up with adrenaline the same way when you watch an actual football match. Seemingly shallow, BL surprises you with deep takes on psychology at times. In a way a feel good anime for sadistic people. But the similarity bw the 2 anime is that both of them make YOU feel more interested in football as a sport.

Both are related to football. There is different storyline in both but you will enjoy Blue Lock if you liked Ao Ashi
Protagonist with:
- high football IQ -- check
- excellent spatial awareness -- check
it's really interesting how contradicting the way both MCs in 'using' their teammates. And yet, still giving the same fulfilling drama.

Two of the most hyped soccer animes in recent years. They feature interesting protagonists that throughout their anime become great players.
I'm going to start off by saying the obvious. They're both football/soccer sport animes! Both of them are very very good. Blue Lock without a doubt tops Ao Ashi however. The artwork and animation are exceedingly more stunning and interesting to look at, the action of it all immerses you. Whereas with Ao Ashi there is far more downtime with the training arc bits and personal problems, there's even a hint of romance in there. Both animes have this supernatural feel to them, like Kuroko's Basketball if you have seen that. Comparing them both together is difficult to do but I can say this with

They're both about someone who loves being a forward in soccer, but is at first held back by the team their in. Both main characters find their own way of becoming the best forward they can be all while facing obstacles on the way to the top.

Two of the best football anime.
Blue Lock is more action packed with sick moments, while Ao Ashi is more realistic/tactical.
Same football anime but realistic. Blue lock is from team work to ego while Ao Ashi is from ego to team work
