| it´s a great anime because is adapted at our times and our busy lives and where we have that desire to be the best !!! kekeke |
| The last speech of Isagi literally gave me goosebumps. |
 |
| No additional time here - at least, not after the episode. The whole English study room session was the additional time segment, if you ask me, incorporated into the episode itself. Freaking hilarious from the first frame to the last. Fancy bringing in a whole buncha new people we've seen neither hide nor hair before, though. You'd think if they're good enough to make it this far, there would've been some name drops along the way somewhere... oh well. Looking forward to S2 and the movie. |
| Wow, it's really been 6 months. Sure doesn't feel like it. An interesting ride all the way; I was hyped before it aired and I'm hyped for the next outing. Lock off. |
 Why would I spend my time watching shows I don't like? 💢 |
| What a cliffhanger man... I am going to binge through manga once I am done with Billy Bat and SBR. Pretty solid 7/10. Liked some of the ideas, some of the characters, designs are SICK. Would have rated higher if not for shitty animation. |
| I kind of knew that besides of creating the best strike of the world, creating the best team was too an objective. remember the brazil of the five 10's?, now see an team with 11 strikers, lol in real life it doesn't work but I'm looking foward to this in the second season. |
| The way they speak English is so funny lmao |
 |
| Don't get me wrong, I liked the anime. Nonetheless, this has the potential to be the most overrated show of the year. |
| 6/10, the fun the series gave me can't overcome the amount of cringe dialogue and subpar animation that was present throughout the first season. |
 |
| Bruh... Kunigami out but freaking Igarashi in? I call bullshit. Also what's with the personalities of The World Five? Easily the worst depiction of nationalities I have seen in a while. Anyways, pretty mediocre show overall. Clearly not for people who take football seriously because man did this anime's philosophy disrespect the sport at times. There were some hype moments here and there but not gonna lie, I felt bored during most of the episodes. Most of the characters were annoying asf and the dialogues were simply awful. The fact of the characters being teenagers doesn't mean they have to act like cringey edgelords 24/7. 5/10 |
| NOO KUNIGAMI!!!! NOT YOU, NOT AFTER ALL YOU HAVE DONE!! 😭 😭 I can't wait for the second season and the movie about Nagi! |
| And we say “see you soon” to one of the best sport anime out there. This season was a blast and I got hooked immediately since the first selection started. I’ll miss the times I get so hyped watching it. Was a fun journey and Blue Lock has proved itself one of the most unique sport anime along with the intense atmosphere it delivers I’ll be sure to watch season 2 and the movie coming soon. 8/10 |
| Meh, that were some cringy lines from English-speaking players, lol. And... I'm not really interested in watching the next season. It was entertaining enough, but I got tired of the show in recent episodes, too much edge and not enough substance. |
  |
| RIP Kunigami. He was a good guy. I wonder if that is really the last we'll see of him. Good ending to the season. I was so worried that it was going to end terribly awkward in the middle of this world five match. But I was worried for nothing: The world five crush them in rapid fashion, with enough time to cover quite a lot of other stuff as well. We see the other teams who have passed this stage, holding the 35 remaining players. And the pacing doesn't show any signs of slowing down, with not more of these selection stages, but rather the very existence of blue lock being at stake, and having to go up against Japan's U-20 team to not only save it, but BECOME it. I'll give it a low-8/10. It was kind of dumb at times, but all of its moments of extreme hype more than make up for whatever weak points it has. Looking forward to season 2. 8.1/10 |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Don't usually mind it but man Loki's Engrish in this episode was genuinely atrocious. Anyway, hopefully season 2 will be less still frames and more actual animation. |

| This can't be the end of Kunigami, right??? |
  |
| What a really fun surprise of a show, watching this week to week was a total blast. Animation stumbled quite a bit more often than I'd like, but I felt it was more than made up for with some incredibly striking direction and imagery, it manages to sell all of its big moments effortlessly well. Really looking forward to Season 2 and Episode Nagi. Also seeing people here complain about the dialogue does sting a bit, since I feel like the cheesy, unhinged, over-the-top edginess of its dialogue is one of the most charming aspects of the series. |
| Kunigami... NUOOOOOO Fantastic show overall, great pacing and interesting unique characters. 9/10 |
| Good finale. Probably gonna read the manga while I wait for season 2. I'm curious though. Only seven teams made it but statistically as many as forty-nine teams could have made it. Did Ego ever mention a time limit? Or did he just wake up one day and said "All right you've had long enough" |
| THE GOAT SHIDOU IS HERE RYUUSEI IS FINALLY HERE. also yukimiya, hiyori and nanase. and the return of other familiar faces. didn't expect shidou to be voiced by gojo's VA tho. can't wait to see more of shidou's insanity animated, hope the next season has better animation tho. pretty sure the reception of this season has been mostly positive so it should. strong 8/10 for me, animation is the only thing that pulled it back. can't wait for the next arc, best arc in blue lock and best new gen arc imo! |
 |
| All I could think about this episode was the image of a bunch of Japanese voice actors looking down, reading and struggling from a script, and being asked to do the English again until it's "passable" lol...\ Overall, it was an alright anime, thought the setting and plot would be a little more interesting when I first started this show. 6/10. |
| Dude. I. AM. SHOOK. Crazy good final episode and insane season (despite the animation flaws and cringy English). 10/10. By about 12 eps in I had decided that this was already one of my favourite anime all time XD Bro I cannot believe Kunigami didn't make it through. The way they hyped it up for the last person to enter, only for it to be this Shidou guy. Bruhhh. I feel like an anime character just died!! Surely the whole "you'll never be allowed to play for Japan" rule was just a trick to up the stakes. It'd be a waste of talent for only one of these 300 to be eligible, tbh. I've got so many things to comment on. Maybe I'll have to make a vid about this haha. |

| They massacred my dude Loki Mbappe... what the fuck was that voice... |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Great conclusion for the first season. Of course the world top 5 were just superior in every possible way. Isagi and thr rest simply stood no chance, but this was the best possible experience Ego could've given them. Rin was the only one being frustrated over the lost match, which is another reason why he's still ahead of Isagi. Since there was so much money involved getting the world top 5 to play against the Blue Lock teams, I had a feeling some of the bigwigs would upset. Canceling the Blue Lock project on the other hand was nothing I expected. Ego saying that he wants to show results in a big match initially made me wonder what team the Blue Lock boys would play. The scene after where Rin served as an English tutor was just too funny, especially when Bachira was triggering him even more :D The third selection has finally begun. I was so curious about who actually made it, not only from the old team Z, but also from all the stronger players we've seen Isagi go up against. There were lots of familiar as well as new faces of people we've never seen before. Kunigami not being on any team was quite shocking and didn't feel right to me. Why do I feel that we'll see him again? So 3 weeks until the Blue Lock selection will play against japans under-20s team. I can't even imagine how crazy this match will be. I had so much fun with Blue Lock over the last 6 months. This was exactly the type of sports anime I was waiting for and it kinda awakened something inside of me, which I thought I had lost a long time ago. The desire to play football again which is definitely mind-blowing to me. Anyways, I'm super pumped for what's to come in the second season. 8bit did a great job with the animation, especially in key moments and we don't have to talk about the incredible job all of the voice actors did. Thanks for such enjoyable ride so far. Until then. Rating: 9/10 |

| I can rest in peace now that I've seen my boy Shidou animated 😌 |
| the season finale has me even more excited for season 2. it was definitely frustrating for them to lose to the world top five, but it was also realistic and needed so that they could understand they're nowhere near as good as they have to be. ofc people want to shut down the program, but the blue lock team will for sure beat the japan u-20 team and show them the results they want in season 2. lots of new characters(and pretty ones too, omg) that im looking forward to meeting and learning more about next season. assuming all 35 won't be able to be on the team, im hoping isagi and the others are able to make the team. especially rin, because i think it'll be essential growth for his character to play against his older brother. anyway im just really hyped for the next season. i hope it comes soon!! |
My 2023 candies:      |
| I can only say that this anime with its first season made me realize the beauty of sports in general, so this anime for me is one of the best sports animes, if not the best. I loved this episode, to see how the world quintet completely humiliated Rin and Isagi's team, and above all this humiliation showed us an emotion that we never saw from Rin, which is despair, frustration and anger Seeing so many players classified for the sub-20 phase aroused a great interest in me to know the qualities of each of the new players that we have seen, but that will be seen in the next and already confirmed second season. It was an honor to see this great series week by week, I am going to wait very desperately for the second season Thank you for so many joys, Season 1 of Blue Lock |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
