Dropping a trailer slightly late in the day, Netflix anime series Blue Box is available from today on the service (though not quite live at time of writing!)
The series adapts the manga by Kouji Miura and follows badminton player Taki who has a huge crush on basketball star Chinatsu who admires from afar. When circumstances bring them closer together, he pushes himself to reach the national tournaments and develop his burgeoning relationship.
The anime will be simulcast with Japan over 2 cours.
The animation looks sharp and we enjoy a bit of romance around here, so we'll follow this and post a review shortly.
