“Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun” is what happens when a show has a writer that has problems with giving his own creation an identity.
Either I have some weird standards or the person who categorized this show as seinen has a twisted sense of humor. Apart from maybe 3 episodes everything is just flat, surface level ale rather lazily written. I would expect a seinen to at least try to have some depth. I guess I’m just naive. This show is devoid of almost all story (and what there is isn’t even Aoyama’s, you know, the titular character and the MC of the show) ale is so plot driven it actually hurts to watch.
Before we start I would like to explain something. I will be talking about “plot” and “story”. Many people use those terms interchangeably. I’m not one of those people, so to make sure everyon…

This anime is an anime filled with both hyperbole and realistic depictions of germophobia which I as a germophobe really appreciated seeing, since even though they're presented in their most extreme form, it's still not too far-fetched to be impossible (most of the time). If you're looking for a football anime, this isn't the one for you (even though the animation is still better than Bluelock S2). But if you're looking for a short, comedic relief which will make you consider finding a fan-translation of the manga (since there is no official english release as far as I could find) to compensate for the lack of a season 2, this is one of them.
Art style - very subjective category, but I myself love it. 8/10.
Animation quality - it often has still frames during football matches, but outsid…

Let’s get this out of the way: this isn’t a sports anime. This isn’t focused on the sports and competitions that Aoyama has to go through and his journey to the top. It’s really just about how much of a clean freak Aoyama is.
It isn’t bad if you know what you’re getting into. However, it must be said that there isn’t a goal that the plot and characters are headed towards. Like, sure, it’s stated that they want to go to Nationals but we don’t see that come to fruition. Aoyama is just a clean freak and his soccer teammates have to deal with that. Aoyama doesn’t have much to his character except that he’s a germaphobe. So do the other characters.
The art style is pleasing to the eye and so are the colours. The animation is pretty good for a lighthearted watch that doesn’t require much thoug…

DISCLAIMER: This anime isn't all about soccer. If you are looking for a sports anime, then you are in the wrong spot. This is comedic relief anime with soccer as a way to create the atmosphere. Sorry!
A summary is already on the website.
This is a hilarious anime in my opinion. The main character Aoyama is definitely always at the center of each episode, but we do get to learn more about other side characters and their background. Which is really nice and we get to be more part of the story ourselves. It's a short anime which is kind of disappointing, but the 12 we do get are worth it. I feel like people are expecting it to be all about soccer but the title of it is literally Aoyama is a Clean Freak (or something along those lines), so I would think (when reading that), that it would be…

Clean Freak Aoyama-Kun on the surface is a generic show carried by a compelling concept. The story premise is about Aoyama-Kun, a excellent soccer player who is a germaphobe who absolutely hates getting dirty in any shape or form. He not only plays for the Japan National Soccer team but also plays for Fujimi High School instead of a youth club (In soccer, it's uncommon for talented players to not play in some club and be recruited.) The story not only explores Aoyama's soccer career but also his interactions with his peers trying to uncover why he's the way he is.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
Story:
I liked the comedic aspects of the show. I'm not a big soccer fan so maybe I would've enjoyed that aspect if I understood it more. The story was relatively simple so 6/10
Art:
The art and animation does…

I don't usually write any review but, I really didn't like this anime, I'll be quick ony why.
It starts plots that were interesting, follows them, makes us (at least me, get hooked up and want them to go somewhere) forgets about them, never show them again, does this for like 80% of the anime (forgeting about the interesting plots towards the end) just to occupy entire episodes on characters nobody cares about, mini stories about characters not shown before as well, starts new plots or routes or whatever when the anime is ENDING. Basically dreadfully inconsistent serie, disappointing, a disrespect to the viewer. If this review gets approved first of all, sorry for being this bad at writing and second, if you watch this anime, its going to be entertaining for a bit, but towards the end you…

Despite only being 12 episodes, Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun does a good job at being funny, interesting and even had a little bit of romance in it. Not to mention, some of the sports moments (there's a not a lot for an anime about soccer (or football, if you're European etc.) were really fun to watch.
All the characters introduced each had a likable personality. It was super easy to get through, and I wish there had been more, because it could've been so much better. One thing they never continued further was Odagiri's role in Aoyama's life, which is arguably a big one considering the first episode we see her. This anime could've switched up so fast and turned into a romance/sport/comedy anime and I wouldn't have even been mad about it.
It's a shame, but for what it is, it was a really goo…

Summary: If you're expecting this to be a sports anime, you'll probably come away pretty surprised. Aoyama-kun is more like a school comedy that uses the soccer club as a setting than a series that's "about" soccer. That's a good thing though, as the series is very funny and has a number of great characters. It's held back by the disjointed structure of its plot (to the extent that there is one) but the characters are the main attraction here, not the story. If you're wondering whether the series can sustain the high concept gimmick at the center of the show for 12 episodes without getting boring, the answer is yes, mostly by making the MC the least interesting part of the show and giving all the personality to the supporting characters.
Positives:
+ It's funny. Lots of good jokes and ga…

While my overall score is low I would like to say this is still an anime I would recommend to people. I want to emphasize that this is not supposed to be a very serious anime. This is a COMEDY, and I do hope people come into this knowing that.
Now, this review is more so to clear things up for people, and so people can go in understanding what to expect.
The overall anime does not really have a direct storyline/plot, it's one of those where it's like mini-stories within its self, and for this anime, it is not a bad thing. While I do believe it could have been done with an actual plot I find that for the kind of comedy it is, it would be unnecessary and probably actually ruin it.
The overall show is not really soccer-oriented, yes it does have those scenes but don't expect the intensi…

Well what can i say about this anime, i've been binge watching it 12 episodes full and i can't just get enough, the concept is interesting, the plot is also interesting. It doesn't just focus on one character but every character including the supporting character itself gets portion of the story and for me that's kinda rare nowadays , the opening of this anime is also kick-ass the catchy tune and the animation that shown on the opening always gets me hype, to note this is not that typical "sports' anime, this anime has a slice of life element and also have many comedic moments in it, so don't expect you will see many action in this anime. the animation is also cool the cute animation they did during some scenes are adorable and funny i can't get enough of it. so if you're looking for a "co…

A very solid 8. I would give a 7, but I feel some of the other reviews discredit it too much since they were expecting something like Haikyuu, but in soccer form. I really like how it didn't turn to be some generic, cliche soccer anime though. It's a funny comedy, it's short, and it's easy to just sit down and watch. It has a very clean and simple feel to it (no pun intended). The characters are interesting and I like how it focuses on a new character almost every episode so that the viewer can gain insight into that universe. It's worth the watch and even if you don't like it, it was only 12 episodes so it's not much of a hassle. Overall, it's not that serious and imo not every single anime should be treated like it's supposed to be some holy grail. I do recommend and you should probably…

This anime is a mixed bag of confusion between wanting to be a sports, comedy or romance anime. Packed in a 12 eps of failed recipe - unclear direction with no clear ending either.
As a character driven anime, there is little meaningful development with more focus on the hot blooded Zaizen which I grew to hate by end of the series. He is noisy, loud, rude, unreal, and frankly speaking, someone I can't find any meaningful connection with, if any, I would want to stay away and prefer not having him at all in the entire series.
As interesting as Aoyama is, little is known about him especially the crucial aspect such as what makes him a clean freak and the development of his character is going no where.
I would give this anime a 4 out of 10 but because Mio Odagiri is so awesome despite bei…

First of all, this is not your kind of tournament sport shounen.
It is more like a comedy episodic anime combined with soccer. BUT, the comedy is the main part of this anime. So the soccer part indeed comes pretty short. Nevertheless, I REALLY enjoyed this anime.
The comedy is very good, reminds me a bit of Saiki, which is in my eyes a masterpiece of comedy.
The animations are stunning, something you have never seen in a soccer anime.
The characters all have their own funny style, but they dont get much development, because this is more like an episodic anime like Saiki.
Personally, I think that they should have focused more on the soccer part. It would have been huge to see a hyped up soccer game in such great animations.
To keep this review short and to not give too much away, I…

I enjoy a lot of easy to digest, funny, cute animes and I find the art style very appealing, but honestly not worth your time and the entire thing is really forgettable. The story is boring, action scenes are weak and obviously didn't have much funding, the characters are flat (barely saw any kind of development in any of them) and overall just would not recommend unless you're into hot anime dudes and just want a cheap laugh. Also, despite lacking any development between characters, there were filler episodes and they were just dull.
TL;DR: Don't watch if you're looking for something amazing (the plot is weak), but do so if you're looking for v cute boys that are kinda funny ^^

If you're looking for a traditional soccer anime, you'll be very disappointed. Putting that aside, if you're looking for a short-running show with some comedic moments, you may find enjoyment in Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun.
Aoyama's perfect character is very boring to me, he doesn't have any conflict or any sort of progression in the twelve episode season. He doesn't have any motive to join Fujimi High School's underdog soccer team besides that the jerseys are white. Aoyama has a legion of followers, both male and female, that see him as an idol. Their "Clean, clean Aoyama!" chants get annoying very quick. Aoyama's only interesting character trait is that he's a germaphobe. He won't eat food prepared by other people, he rarely allows people to touch him. One of Aoyama's und…

This is not really a soccer/football anime, it is more of a comedy anime. The character does not like to get dirty.Do not take this anime seriously.
If you liked sakamoto desu ga, you (should) will enjoy this anime.
There is a lot of joking about the character for why he is in the club.
There are people who say the character didn't care about his teammates, but he does.(up to you)
The supporting characters are actually good, more when they are with the main character.
There is some romance also and some guy that wants Aoyama on his team.

Art-10

This was... an experience. If you're expecting a sports anime, it's probably time for you to leave, because this is definitely not what you're looking for. This was a mess-- a good mess-- but a mess nonetheless. I'm gonna unravel what happened in this series for the people who are on the fence about watching this.
First off, I started watching this show because I saw a clip of a cute scene from around episode 8-ish on youtube, and expected the whole show to be somewhat similar. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, but it wasn't all bad either.
To begin with, the plot is a strange, strange thing. I have never played or been interested in watching soccer, so I expected to be bored. However, there is strangely little actual soccer content. While it does have some aspects of a sports anime,…

Personally looking through other people’s reviews, this anime isn’t just that great to me, if you have nothing to watch then sure this might entertain you for a while, it’s pretty Meh i don’t really think anything in this anime shines too much, the comedy here is okay?, the sports well i can’t rate that as i do not like sports, so you might be wondering why did you watch this? As i said i was looking for something to watch this just popped up thought there would be romance, some story but nope all i got was a mildly funny sports anime with almost no story.
Story: the only question i have here is that is there even a story to be told? Or just a guy going about his life? You might be arguing that oh what about dragon ball? What story does it have? None its basically just fighting to enterta…

I ended up underestimating and a lot of this anime, I had watched 4 episodes and I gave up continuing, and then some time later I decided to take courage to go to the end, it was one of the best things I've done in my life.
From episode 6 onwards the anime was extremely entertaining, he began to explore the secondary characters, make creative episodes, develop the characters etc.
The anime at a certain point begins to express the characters better, shows their side better while working the relationships between them.
Zaizen who could not score a goal
Gotou who did not have his love matched
Aoyama who wanted to relate to his friends but could not because of his phobia.
It is very well worked out their relationship as a team, aoyama who was shown how invincible managed to be overcome by…

most of the reviews the other gave are spot on,so i have nothing to add.
But...........this anime is not a sports anime.......please dont watch it for soccer.
The anime revolves around a clean freak and a couple of his friends to create a comedy anime.
A lot of people think that this anime revolves around a clean freak being able to play soccer and improve with his problems but the anime shows how his daily life is and comedic problems of being a clean freak.
they show soccer because its his passion and he is crazy about it.
Then again being a clean freak makes him good at a lot more things cause he HAS to do everything by himself.
by the point u read my review u must have read a lot.......so ill just say that this is an enjoyable anime with lots of laughs..............be sure to watch…
