Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun

Clean Freak! Aoyama-kun

Introduction

He is charming, cool, athletic, a good cook, but more importantly, he's a clean freak. Aoyama is idolized and respected by everyone, but they can only admire him from afar due to his mysophobia. Despite that, he plays soccer—a rather dirty sport! As the playmaker for Fujimi High School's soccer club, Aoyama avoids physical contact at all cost and cleanly dribbles toward victory. However, the path to Nationals will not be easy for Fujimi's underdog team. But alongside striker Kaoru Zaizen, Aoyama will show everyone that even as a clean freak, there are things he's willing to get dirty for. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

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…

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…

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 ^^

(Spoiler Warning) 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. Story-8 Art-10 Sound-8 Character-10 Enjoyment-10 Overall-9

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…

Often times i find myself enjoying dumb but funny anime and Aoyama Kun is no exception. Story: Aoyama Kun gives off a very Sakamoto vibe (If you havent watched Sakamoto desu ga? you should really watch it), everyone loves him but he doesn't seem to need to try. The only difference is that Aoyama is a germophobe, an interesting and comedic trope that gets kinda stale by the end of the anime. However each episode isn't always centred around Aoyama which leaves open space for both people living around Aoyama and himself to grow. Unlike Sakamoto, Aoyama isn't too mysterious, his intentions aren't confusing and his past isn't shrouded in mystery, the only mystery is his family. Aoyama isn't all fun games every episode, some episodes explore characters and give another point of view like 5 whi…

"Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun" is kinda strange show. My experience with sport shows is I had two categories: the competitive and serious one such as Haikyuu and then the non competitive (or just not focused on the competitions) comedic one such as Yuri!!! on Ice. Yes, Yuri!!! on Ice does have the main character enter a competition but the anime doesn't really focus on the competition. It focuses on the characters. Back to Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun, it doesn't fit in those two types I'm familiar with. This show was weird because it focus on comedy half of the time. Being a comedic show with sort of plot progression with end game objective, the story becomes fragmented with the episodes dedicated to 2 character spotlights. The show doesn't just focus on Aoyama and his sport team. We do the…

Lets start off with the main point it has elements of sport anime and leans heavy on sport elements but its not a sport anime,so if youre looking for one this is not it, i would say its main genre is comedy.Its okay to watch i guess if you dont have anything better to watch and have the time to watch 12 episodes which is not that time consuming. I was kinda dissapointed because i thought the sport element would stand out more.Whats a good plus in the score department this anime has occasional funny scenes. The art,sound,character and enjoyment levels are fair but not great. Score 6/10

Hey folks, this will be a review for Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun. This was a semi fun watch. I don't know if it's like other sports anime, but it plays out like a character driven slice of life show. The story doesn't really matter as nothing much comes about in this show. The only information you need is the main character is named Aoyama and he is a germaphobe. The start of the show introduces him and the small cast of side characters and seems to be a comedy show revolving around the struggles of a boy not able to deal with germs. However after the first few episodes it switches pace. After we are introduced and are comfortable with Aoyama, they decide to give most of the prominent side characters their own episode in which they resolve some problems with the help of Aoyama. The side s…

YOU. MUST. WATCH. THIS. Even though it says it's seinen, I believe it is also shonen and shojo, basically for everyone. If you like sports, more specifically soccer, watch this. If you like comedy, watch this. If you like romance, watch this. If you think this is not for you, at least watch the first episode, you might be surprised. I LOVE this anime. The story was so interesting and characters were so interesting and made me laugh so many times! The sound and art was crisp and perfect. Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun is definitely one of my favorites! I think I'm actually in love with Aoyama-kun, he's so adorable and cute, and he's not even trying! Overall, I had an amazing experience watching this anime and I hope there is a second season or that I can find more animes similar to this one.…

Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun is mainly a comedy series with the sports elements playing a supporting role here. The actual comedy isn't anything hilarious in my opinion but more serves to make everything entertaining. The main character Aoyama-kun isn't really the focal point for a lot of the show. Instead you see how the daily lives of the cast of characters surrounding Aoyama-kun are sometimes affected simply by him just existing. There isn't really a progressing story here, its more of an episodic series which can be a negative to some. The art and animation are okay and I guess there isn't really a need for the animation to be better when a majority of time is spent away from the football field. Overall Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun is an anime I enjoyed watching from week to week but it's…

If your looking for a sport futbol anime of going for the goal, this ain't it. This is more of a comedy, if your looking for a laugh. Story: There are actually several stories in this comedy anime of each teammate, yet more about Aoyama-kun of the clean freak. The stories give a good laugh. Characters: The character's are amazing in Keppeki Danshi!. My favorite two are Aoyama-kun and Gotou, Moka. You see why if you watch it. Art: The art is really great in this anime. You get clear image if watching 1080p. Enjoyment: Like posted before, this is a comedy. You will laugh watching this one. Overall: It was a good watch, yet I thought it be better than "Knight in the Area."

We were expecting a football animation. Instead, we received a comedy with some interesting and funny moments. Aoyama is a soccer star that suffers from a cleaning complex. He hates being touched. He needs to see everything clean. He needs to cook his food. How can a person like this be the center of the attention and one of the youth soccer stars from Japan? In the beginning, I was waiting to see a sports anime and football matches every time. After some episodes, the football became irrelevant. The story focus on the events full of jokes and actions from the football squad and all the persons related to it. The jokes aren't bad, sometimes are silly but are executed smartly. However, there are few moments dull. The characters are standard as we can expect from this kind of comedy. Ao…
