Synopsis

The next phase of the controversial Blue Lock project is underway with the candidate pool being dwindled down to just 35. Out of the remaining strikers, only a select few will be chosen to play in an upcoming exhibition game against the current U-20 Japanese soccer team. Playing in this match comes with a caveat: winning will grant the players the right to represent the nation as the new U-20 team, but losing will bring an end to Blue Lock in its entirety. Among the ones left in the running is Yoichi Isagi, who is coming to terms with his own abilities.

To further complicate matters, the six best players in the pool have already been named to the starting lineup and the remaining 29 will have to duke it out to claim a coveted spot. Each candidate must select a top six pairing to team up with for the selection to prove their competence. But if this mishmash of strikers wants to overthrow the current U-20 team, they will need to find a way to combine their playstyles effectively.

The animation is not that bad, it's quite good actually.

I've watched the first season as well as the movie, yet, I fail to understand where the animation could be better.
If you still have any doubts about watching Blue Lock because of its animation, at least it moves and has sound, in opposition to the manga.
I am not saying the manga is better or worse than the anime, but sound and animation is something manga usually doesn't have.

Preliminary (14/14 eps)
As Much as I enjoyed season 1. I'm disappointed. The animation is such a downgrade. From season 1

I still think the story is good, the characters are still good. But the animation was just not enjoyable

I hope season 3 Has better animation,

The story is still good. I still think it's fun to watch. But I feel like I've been robbed

Really disappointed. But I hope season 3 is better

Preliminary (14/14 eps)
A lot has been said about the animation of this season of Blue Lock, it shows all the signs of a show in production hell with an over reliance on graphics, stills and some very ugly and obvious CGI. These qualities alone are enough to take any wind out of the sails of the adaptation, it's difficult to take any of the stakes seriously when it feels like more like a slideshow than an animation, nothing that happens feels quite real. The visual style of the first season at times felt hit and miss, although this time it just feels a lot more garish and ...
