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
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.
