Closing Thoughts…
As a fan of sports and romance anime, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching Blue Box so far. It’s inspiring that both Taiki and Chinatsu have such high goals they want to achieve! It’s amazing seeing them both work so hard for a chance at Nationals. The romance is heartwarming, I want both of them to be happy. Ultimately, this anime reminds me of my high school life. Focusing hard on sports goals while also navigating the romantic feelings of youth.
Watch Blue Box now only on Netflix!
