Blue Box first arrived as a manga in 2021, focusing on a badminton player named Taiki and a basketball player named Chinatsu. The two might play different sports but they realize that they gain strength and inspiration from one another despite taking two very different approaches to the world of sports. The anime adaptation is set to arrive on Netflix on October 3rd, brought to life by Telecom Animation Film. Telecom has had a big impact on the anime world, working on series including Baki Hanma, Rick And Morty: The Anime, The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of The Apocalypse, and many more.
