The official website of the series has added to the excitement by releasing a new trailer and key visual, offering a glimpse of what’s to come in this sports-romance anime.
The newly released trailer features previews of the opening and ending theme songs, which are sure to resonate with viewers. The opening theme, titled “Same Blue,” is performed by the popular Japanese band Official Hige Dandism, while the ending theme, “Teenage Blue,” is provided by the artist Eve.
In addition to its television premiere, Blue Box will also be available for streaming on Netflix, with the first two episodes dropping on October 3.
