Blue Lock
| While im not a hater by any means but it seems this anime wasnt for me. The concept seemed nice like how you made a reality show kind of scenario to find the best young striker in japan. But the first selection was extremely disadvantageous to the players playing goalkeeper, like they didn't get enough game time or opportunity to improve and grow like other players. They were stuck playing a role they werent used to and hence they would exit early in the 2nd selection (even if their team qualified). Was it all about ego at the end? i mean what if these players had decided to not play GK then no one would play that position in that team and as a result their teams prolly wouldn't have qualified for the next selection. Basically what this means is to hell with team play, achieving individual milestones is all that matters with the how rules were laid out (which i believe is fundamentally wrong, its not football anymore). Another thing to take notice is the amount of free kicks and corner kicks, they were non existent during the 1st of the anime (free kicks might have been cuz of the fair play points and as for corner kicks, its prolly cuz the DFs and GKs werent good enough to block or parry the shots) but missing these aspects of the game really impacts my enjoyment as a football fan, like how you dont get a single unforced error in a full 90 mins game. And these players skillset are more suited for entirely different role (its just a nitpick of mine like how chigiri should be a winger with that pace and isagi should be a central midfielder or a ball playing centre back) but it doesn't really bother me since that was the nature of this anime. My views maybe convoluted but i thought this anime was a little misinformative. Sports anime usually get me excited and hyped during matches, in case of blue lock I found the matches to be boring and 1 dimensional (things start to get tight and then isagi has his moment, thats pretty much every game) No hate but why did you like this anime? I want to know your thoughts |

| I mean... Iemon wasn't forced to play goalkeeper the whole game. He could've come out of goal and gone full Blue lock. And remember he chose to play in that position so he was aware of that sacrifice. The whole point of the first selection was for the players to find their unique weapons and their strengths. You say it's about achieving individual milestones but Team Z succeeded by good team play. Some of Isagi's best goals in the series i.e that back heel in the second selection came from excellent team play. Idk why people say Blue lock's message is about being selfish when it actively contradicts that sentiment with every arc. It's not even just anime onlies, people that are caught up on the manga still have such a jarring take on the series. |

Fukuro26 said: I think the word you are looking for is 'Decontruction'. But it contradicts itself multiple times in the show. The philosophy that this anime preaches is half baked from what I have gathered so far. Team Z qualified because of their team play and Isagi's ability to dictate those plays, not due to an individual performance.

I want to know your thoughts that's the point of the show, it's destroy fundamental of sport itself by doing something egoist instead doing team work, about the GK, they literally force them to find out by themself who's gonna be the GK, is it the weakest? is it decide by rock paper scissors? or maybe no one gonna be GK because everyone has their ego. back again it's all Ego, which is in real life probably wrong but you get the point of this show want to make, Sometimes you must be an egoist to improve, you gotta sacrifice another to reach your limit, its life lesson but also don't do it every time, you have a brain don't you? and also just don't take it serious and bring real life situation, you have brain and you can decide when you gotta be egoist and when you gotta do a teamwork. l mean l just see blue lock as an anti mainstream sport and have unique plot, if you want to see realistic football? read Ao Ashi(which l prefer than blue lock) it's like a shounen anime where the main character did not forgive the enemy instead kill them brutally or romance anime where the story is not sweet wholesome instead about cheating and betraying their lover see it like an anti mainstream show, not just put it in real life situation. |

Aziz_Iso said: Actually, I did mention how Isagi's is able to pull something out of his ass every time. This very fact made Bleach dull and repetitive for me.Good point there about positions allocation. It falls into my thinking, especially against the backdrop of the last episode and Kunigami's lock off, that this model is viciously unfair. Incompetent players may make it through for a host of contributing factors. It's also highly encouraging of self-service and ego, which I suspect all prominent coaches would endorse for a thriving career. The biggest flaw for me I guess was Isagi's whopping and jaw-dropping evolution at a pace the likes of which have never seen before. He's always lucky, he always wins, he never flops. Reminds me of Bleach's Ichigo, a protagonist destined for success. It was never explained what is the majestic source of Isagi's booming talent. My take might imply dislike or ambivalence, but I overall was overjoyed watching the show, I applaud the unpredictability of the course of actions, and I will happily watch the next season. |

lolskidoodledoo said: I'm not really hating on it... I just thought it was dull and fundamentally wrong.Bluelock is good why are we complaining about goalies when the main point of the show is to be a striker it looks amazing,it’s badass asf, and it tears down what makes soccer a sport. it’s a brand new concept of sports anime cuz let’s be real if you play a sport like this or any other are you going out there to win for the left back or maybe one of the center mids…hell nah bcz u wanna win for yourself others can’t make you strong unless you put in the work they can help you and at the end of the day yes you want your team to win including all on your team but nobody else can share the excitement you feel about winning. yes the manga is def better but the anime definitely doesn’t disappoint. why hate on bluelock when aoashi exists that shit had me spitting Zs not even 10 ep in |

I want to know your thoughts That's the whole point of the show, how can you convince the group of boys and dominate on others through your ego Moreover most of the sports anime are predictable, however that's not the case with Blue Lock except Team Z vs Team V match Moreover the mangaka depicted this more as "Battle shounen manga" rather than only sports manga Just wait for the "Peak" Lock's future seasons |
