A bit of a slow start, but still a solid set-up episode. Dunno why people are complaining about the animation. It's nothing special, but for a set-up episode with a lot of talking, the animation was decent where it needed to be.

Really stoked to finally see more of the new characters getting animated. The captain of the opponent U-20 team getting featured at the end was super hype. Also glad to see additional team again. Always nice to see more character interactions that don't include Isagi.

Ready for Blue Lock to put me in another choke-hold this season. Yes I know this season is stacked but without a doubt my favorite show will be this. Anime-onlies that stuck around for the second szn, you won't be disappointed story-wise and hype-wise.

The animation looks fine, but I'm not an expert, so I wouldn't know unless it was glaringly bad. I would've loved a fitting animation for the absolutely gorgeous art in the manga, but you can't always get what you want. Again, I am very excited about this arc.

The first ep did not disappoint, mannn i was soooo excited for this second season! I can't wait to see what that pink hair violent hisoka-lookin-ass guy is gonna do, and of course, what the new Isagi's existential crises, and inevitable development, will look like!

Okay, so why is there so many people eating shit about this anime, keyboard warriors going at it and writing whole think pieces believing they're some kind of experts on the topic when in reality they aren't even knowledgeable? It's okay to have personal tastes but my dude, SHUT THE FUCK UP and close the tab if you don't like it. Nitpicking ass bitches...

LET'S GO BLUELOCK IS BACK BABY. I can't wait to see Oliver Aiku, Shidou Rysui, and Itoshi Sae pull up in the U-20 match I'm so hyped! This is one of the greatest arcs in the manga and I hope it does well in the anime. I'm excited for the next few episodes of the final selection!

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.

When "comically bad" is a person(or two) :



Now, I don't remember if I watched this because of the hype or the quality, but I sure hope S2 will be both rather than either of them.

PEAK IS BACK LADIES AND GENTS

I thought Isagi was gonna pick the B team so he could challenge himself alongside new 'monsters' but alas he picked Rin.

Also I love how the whole vibe is much more sinister now...

HYPED AF FOR SEASON 2!

We back with Blue Lock s2 and those who don’t like the animation or haven’t been hooked from s1 why are you watching? Are you hate watching just so you can complain and moan in the forums 😂 must have too much free time. I enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to this season.

The character design and scene direction have improved, but we'll have to see if they continue using CGI or not, as we haven’t yet seen a scene that requires a lot of movement.

Personally, it doesn’t bother me much. The story is very good, the character designs are consistent and detailed, visually pleasing effects, and even the secondary characters are interesting, each with their own personality and charisma. Plus, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is back for this OP. Now, it's just a matter of seeing how the players perform in the final test to select the team that will face the Under-20 team.

Animation quality has certainly dropped, especially when compared to the other top airing shows this season. Isagi and cast + the plot need to carry this season.

After a rushed first season (because of the world cup, understandable) I was expecting a better first episode.
But it was more of a filler EP, and with some really weird animation all over it.

To start a new season with a filler EP and zero action is a bit of a let down. Let's hope this is the calm before the storm and next EP will have some amazing animation.

i'm glad blue lock is back with one of the best new gen arcs but 8bit is NOT cooking. well this episode was decent because there was not much movement but i feel like it'll get worse during the matches. i'll still enjoy it though because of the content and animation isn't everything to me, just as long as it doesn't get TOO bad. also glad to see my boys nagi and shidou here.

I'm confused I just unfortunately watched the new episode of fat fuck french fry elf and that show has a budget of $4, Blue Lock looked fine. The CG parts in S1 were pretty ass but this episode looked, dare I say it, good.

Honestly, Isagi not picked for top 6 was a given. He needs that protag development where he doesn't achieve things easily and slowly realizes what he has to do and so on.

At this point I'm convinced I watched a different season 2 of blue lock cause I don't know what y'all complaining about. The art style looked crisps and it's too early to judge the fps in an episode with mostly dialogue and no actual action. save your complaints until after we have an actual match. I honestly think the art style is a huge step up from the second half of last season. Granted I could do away with the additional time, I don't need to know who's sharing rooms with whom

Pretty decent ep to begin the season, I think it would be a short and crisp season which will end when the match between U20 and Strikers will finish,, I liked new charcters and Shiduo is crazy, I haven't read manga so don't know a bit about story but intersting to see Nagi, Chigri, bachira, Rin , Isagi, Barou back in action after long time...

So blue lock vs u20 Japan finally begins let's goooo.... honestly speaking i thought the animation was peak yeah there where still frames but it doesn't effect the overall animation u can hardly senses that when u watch the show like u get so hooked that u don't even care about the animation and the still frames but if this becomes regular and happens often there there will be a problem but whatsoever the first ep was total banger for me....

I’m confused as hell at the ppl complaining about the animation in this episode when it was completely fine and looked more crisper to me than season 1 tbh I get the PV trailers had ppl worried but now yall are just dragging it acting spoiled as hell and shit🤦🏽‍♂️

Anyways the opening song had great visuals and I’m glad Unison Square Garden is back again with another opening and the ending song is a vibe fr that shit sounds like it’s gonna hit extra during them U-20 match episodes😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
