Blue Lock

Both are new awesome soccer animes that aired in 2022, and they both have lots of hype and nail-biting moments. 

Blue Lock and Haikyuu are two fantastic anime series that lovers of volleyball and soccer in general will enjoy. They are, nevertheless, quite different in many ways, including tone, setting, objective, connection, and message. These distinctions distinguish them and make them interesting in their own right. Despite the fact that the games are distinct, the protagonist's purpose appears to be comparable. Be the greatest by defeating your opponents!  

Both anime about a team sport. Both anime about the team of sports egoists. All the main characters have unique abilities. The main character has no special physical force, but he has an unusual talent. 

Both some great football shows, however blue lock is a more realistic one without all the special moves. 

One outs has an extremely talented player who leads the team to the victory through his tactics and talent. While blue lock program is becoming like that. They do have pretty much similarities in terms of tactics and strategies. This is one of those shows where "Selfish players" are not demonized to make the team players look good. The characters are well written and developed. And they're both great shows 

"Have you played football with your life on the line?" ahh animes. On a real note, they both take themselves to that point of seriousness that is immersive for the ones who enjoy the respective sport. Flashy characters, aura moments, and interesting rivalries and characters. 

People are drawn into a strange and isloated contest that encourages them to be selfish and egoistic. 

Peak Football/soccer anime. If you enjoyed Bluelock, then the 2018 version of the classic Captain Tsubasa is a good watch 

Ok, I know this one isn't a sports anime but listen - the setting is basically the same. Everyone is trapped in a big facility. There are multiple levels that challenge skills and morality - each level forces the characters to grow out of their own comfort zone. There's a goal, there's a ladder, and there's a game master. So, if you like the setting and atmosphere of Blue Lock - Tower of God might tickle your fancy. 

- Both are intense and overdramatic Sports anime - All the characters are taking their respective sports very seriously - Especially close relationships between the boys - The characters have unique (weird) personalities and quirks - Comparison between their respective sports' playing field and the battlefield - Very heated rivalries that drive motivation, past grudges settled through sports  

Both revolve around high schoolers playing a sport. The characters have distinct different talents, and some have "special abilities" which give them an advantage while playing.  

Competitive, high energy, gets intense 

Both series are football-focused anime that center on talented players striving to reach the top. While Captain Tsubasa represents a more classic and nostalgic approach to football with teamwork and passion, Blue Lock presents a modern, intense take that emphasizes individuality, competition, and ambition. Despite their different eras and styles, both share the core theme of football as a path to greatness. 

They’re actually very similar when you look into it. Blue Lock and Tomodachi Game are both competition-based anime set in a controversial project setting ran by an eccentric leader. They develop the characters and story through the same themes – teamwork, ethics, and above all else, friendship and betrayal. Isagi and Yuuichi are both similar protagonists in the way they both develop into selfish and “evil” characters to rise to the top. The rest of the cast does too, but it’s most prominent in them. Their monologues are also similar. And when you think about, you can consider Blue Lock as a death game, only except your soccer career is at stake instead of your life, which the anime shows can be just as threatening.  read more 

Blue Lock is like the male version of Keijo but instead of original sport,the men in blue lock play soccer which is a real life sport. They are two sports anime with unrealistic power system and superpower animation. 

Same in a way that there's a lot of dynamic energy in the way these animes are made. Both the MC start at the bottom of the barrel but end up being a driving force for those around them. The MC both becomes an inspiration and a hurdle their other team mates want to surpass. 

- Sports genre - The MCs personality and skills are almost identical (observant, calculating, and technical on the playing field and quite nice off of it) - Wide cast of male characters Besides that, their ideologies and vibes are entirely different: - Blue Lock aims for a survival-type setting - Love All Play is your generic high school sports club anime 

The protagonist starts developing their natural talent for the sport they love, slowly learning and evolving their skills with the goal of becoming the best in the world. Both animes contain a high amount of drama related to their respective sport 

Generally what is recommended is sports anime, however I'm going based on the feelings and art style. Blue Lock gave me similar feelings to Boku no Hero. Ego looks like a Boku no Hero character too. So if you want something with some similar feelings, this may be it. Besides that it can be said both have a teenager MC going through a system to become the best at something(Football/Hero). So tournments, tryouts with the pros...  

Sports anime are better when they have a healthy amount of realism mixed in. Interpersonal drama, non-sports related complications, finances even. It makes for a more well rounded show. Also, gay 

If you want to see high schoolers go batsh*t insane over games that 'aren't that deep bro' this is the one.  

Both sports anime, but focuses on Rugby. They both involve a team working to prove themselve in the league with new recruits with evolving sportsmanship and players 

Similar vibes here, huge cooperation dedicated to finding the best, massive funding and facilities, huge cast of interesting characters in both looks and personality. Both rivals and teammates.  

If L didn't became a detective and become a football coach, that is what Blue lock is like. Themes of the shows are different, but some characters in Blue lock resembles characters in Death Note. Both are good shows and fun to watch. 

Students get invited to a special school for specific purposes run by an eccentric. Fine print ensues and now they must work as teams to solve certain puzzles in order to secure their position at said school or else their lives are fundamentally over. 

Both main characters have similar incredible observation skills and ability to see and analyze everything in the game. 

Both are about soccer, both have lots of pretty interesting characters
