Anime Review~ Blue Box ~ A story of dreams, games, and love that is a courageous journey of a teenage heart.

Hello Friends. Hope everyone is well. Although I am new to the world of anime movies, I have found some movies that have touched my heart. Can love ever be found on the playground? I read a unique story called Blue Box where teenage dreams, sports challenges and the silent feelings of the heart are mixed together. Today I will discuss and review this important anime movie.

Story Summary

Before we start, let me tell you about one thing, which is Yumesaki High, which is very important for sports. Taiki Inoma, the main character of this story. He has a very good character and is a talented person. Once upon a time, he liked a girl who was studying at their school. That girl was very good at playing badminton. On the other hand, he is also a spot player. He also plays volleyball very well, playing well as if she was a qualified player to play at the national level.

A long time passed like this, and suddenly one day, Inoma Taiki was selected to play at the national level. So he decided to play at the national level. This is how his life changed. Meanwhile, an important event happened, Chinatsu's family left this city and went abroad. The reason for their departure was family problems. The most interesting thing is that even though Chinatsu's family left, he stayed. The only reason for his stay was to continue his studies at school and fulfill his dream of playing at the national level. So he did not go with his family and started living at his relatives' house. Although it was a coincidence, the house of that relative was Taiki's family. Because of this, they started living in the same house.

Then Taiki becomes more nervous because he thinks that now they will be living in the same house together. But over time, Taiki tries to hide his feelings of love for Chinatsu. The only reason for hiding is that he is afraid that if he confesses his love and Chinatsu does not accept it after knowing it, the distance between them will become even greater. This is especially why Taiki does not reveal his love. But he wants to prove himself in one way, that he always wants to show that he is worthy of Chinatsu. He thinks that to get Chinatsu's love, he will have to move forward through his own skills and abilities.

Chinatsu is a very hardworking player. He dreams that he will play for the national team one day. He works hard to get a chance for the national team. All his past mistakes and his commitment to fulfill his dream make him stronger. Later, they develop a friendship and they live in the same house. But that friendship does not last long and it turns into a love relationship. I have only watched this first season and will share it with you again later.

My Reviews and Discussions

I have only seen one episode of the ‘Blue Box’ anime movie and I really liked this one episode. This anime touched my heart. The complex feelings of struggle and love have been presented very beautifully and realistically, which is very charming. The main character of the story is Taiki Inomata, who is a skilled badminton player. Who falls in love with a basketball player. His name is Sonozaki Chinatsuru. Chinatsuru suddenly starts living in Taiki’s house because Chinatsuru’s family leaves the city due to a problem. So she starts living in her close friend’s house. But here I am surprised that Taiki falls in love with Taiki Inomata’s family so she starts living in their house. The romantic tension created in this story seems very natural, clean and real to me because these can happen in any love story. What I think is the most important aspect of the anime is its character development and emotional moments that touch my heart. Moreover, there is Taiki's shyness, shyness, but loyal love again, and on the other hand, Chinatsu's hard work and sensitivity, all in all, I can say that this has become one of my favorite lists. Moreover, I noticed that the visual art and animation quality are simply extraordinary.

The best game scenes here are very lively and important. I forgot to mention one thing that I liked the most, the story is slow-but-steady, that is, the depth of the relationship is slowly built, which is an indication of long-term survival. Don't think that I have only mentioned my favorite things so far that I don't have my dislikes. One of the most disliked aspects is that sometimes I noticed that the pace of the story is a bit too slow. I also saw that in some scenes, the game element was given more importance than the romance, which I found a little annoying because I am a romance-loving viewer. I think 'Blue Box' is mainly aimed at those who want a mature, emotional and slow-paced but sweet love story. The most important thing I want to say is that I think it is aimed at the young people. Because today's young society loves love, hard work and the goal of life very much and there is a mixture of all these things here. I can't help but say that 'Blue Box' is one of the best sports-romance anime I have ever seen.
