Blue Lock is a new action/sport anime coming in the fall season. It will premiere on October 8th, and with 24 planned episodes it brings with it a lot of opportunity for greatness and failure alike. The premise is that after a demoralizing season in 2018, Japan is seeking to create the perfect soccer striker to bring them back to the spotlight of international soccer. In order to do so, 300 of the best strikers in Japan have been selected to compete in a Squid Games-esque challenge.
