Blue Box Anime Reveals Release Date, Poster
Blue Box is coming to Netflix this October
Blue Box is one of the new anime releases coming our way this Fall, and the anime has revealed its release date and a new poster ahead of its premiere! Shueisha's seen many Shonen Jump mainstays making their official anime debut over the year thus far, and this Fall is no different as the final of a certain generation of new manga releases will be making its debut later this year as well. This sports and romance series has been a hit with fans, and now it's seeking to find a whole new audience when the anime makes its debut with Netflix.
Blue Box previously announced that the anime adaptation would be streaming with Netflix this October, and the newest update from Netflix has confirmed that it will premiere on October 3rd worldwide. The anime will be releasing on a weekly basis (so fans outside of Japan will be able to watch along with the initial premieres), and the opening theme has been revealed to be titled "Same Blue" as performed by Official HIGE DANdism while the ending theme is titled "Teenage Blue," as performed by Eve. Check out the poster below:

If you wanted to check out Kouji Miura's original Blue Box's manga ahead of its anime debut, you can check out the three most recent chapters completely for free (and the entire back catalog with a paid subscription) with Viz Media's digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha's MangaPlus service. TMS Entertainment teases what to expect from the new anime as such:
"Do these sports-crossed lovers have a chance? Taiki Inomata loves badminton, but he has a long way to go before he can reach nationals. When Taiki sees upperclassman Chinatsu Kano practicing her heart out on the girls' basketball team, he falls for her hard. After an unexpected turn of events brings the two closer together, sports might not be the first thing on their minds anymore!"
