I come to this episode with a really low expectation. Because from what i've seen in the recent trailer that there were many poor animation sequence and drawing, so that really setting my expectation real low. But after seeing the first episode im kinda impressed that it actually kinda surpassed my expectation a little bit. I would say that the whole look or maybe tone of the show is 5 times better for me than Season 1 did, especially compositing and art direction. The Director Of Photography : Yasuhiro Asagi works on the compositing and he also the one who did S1. And he really did a great job setting the tone to match the vibe of Blue Lock more than what he did in S1, that first few second scene with Rin and Sae where the whole lights is orange with the background being red is really cool. Overall 8/10 for me, a good first episode to set up for the tryout. But im still gonna set my expectation really low for the next episode because what they shown in the trailer is the tryout and that's where the part of animation real matter and from the look of it looks like its a gonna be a stinker one. Cheers!

Everyone hating on the first episode is wild, at least give it time to get started. Y’all are just jumping in to hate without full on backing. Again it’s the first episode I don’t see their point in pushing it here they are really just setting things up here. You really want all their effort put into this small aspect? Much of the better stuff comes during the tryout game which will easily take up much more of the animation window (aka Flow). Or even the U20 game which was a fantastic match. Not to mention the fact that I’ve clicked on most of the peoples stuff who are digging into this with their top anime as Naruto or shit like Arifureta. Each show is good in its own right but I see no gain in coming in here just to complain about small animation differences. It’s a show enjoy it or stop watching simple as that.

I think 8 bit studio animation style better then Shaft studio style bakemonogatari style I hate the most, People complain about 8 bit style animation I think Shaft having more worst animation then 8 bit studio. Shaft trash animation style ruin Fate/Extra so it's not fun to watch.

It's a good start to the season. The Top 6 ranking members of Blue Lock have been picked and split into 3 teams; now the rest have to join one of those 3 teams. I've read a little bit of the manga so I know whats ahead, but the animation especially the lighting looks amazing. The wait was worth it.

I didn't know season 2 was already out. The only football anime I've seen through the end is DaysTV by Mappa 2016.
Still Following mha very nicely. I'm a huge football fan, I saw episode 1 a month or 2 ago. It hard sometimes to see w of your world's collide into each other.

good start, need to see more of the other "top 6" guys before deciding if I like them. But seems like it will be an exciting arc!

surprised they didn't go for the 24 eps and throw some filler in since it seems like such an easy anime to do that with, there's always a lot of the selection process we seem to miss off screen.

I don't know why anyone is complaining about the animation compared to all the other hideous anime out there everyone overhypes. The animation was fine same as S1 IMO I prefer blue lock animation and character designs over many other anime. Just be glad we got another season and stop complaining it's not like anyone typing negative things could animate it any better themselves

The concerns about the animation have been a bit overblown but there is a clear drop in quality from the previous season, will need to wait until we see the hype matches before we can fully judge.

Reply to SouthRzVa
Football has never felt this edgy and gay before... and so Blue Lock is back. To think this received a second season and Ao Ashi didn't is crazy.
@SouthRzVa okay, mister homophobic RzVa. Ao Ashi was better to read than to watch.

Haven't read the manga yet, and the plot is the only thing keeping me tunned in. But DAMN, the animation is so bad it's distracting to the story. Why does it look like it was made in Power Point????? It's like the animator were so entranced on getting a specific style of animation right but they forgot the BASICS. Looks like they drew 15 panels and told an AI to make sense of it. This sucks, cause the story is super cool and the VAs are killing it.

kind of a slow start but not all that bad. i can see how this is going to be 14 episodes. i love the show, but it can kind of drag at points. animation was awesome as usual, though the hairstyles seem to get crazier every season. still frames felt like a cop out but idk, maybe saving budget for the games? still, you kind of want to get off on the right foot with a highly anticipated premiere.

Finally have a chance to witness this slideshow anime.

Op looking uninterested already with those visual, smh.

Rin focus kinda become the interest reason to moving forward, and then i remind myself, visual isn't looking good after several part ahead again...

Oh well, vibe still blue-lock-ish tho, with Ego talk shit coaching all those diamonds in tough. But idk why something lack really felt absolute after this first episode. Heard the bombastic part isn't coming yet, against the u-20 team. So i might be patient, and see how this second season of blue lock goes from this uninterested premiere. Let's see next.
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.
