The animation is terrible. It's just a bunch of pictures moving. The capcut effects and trash C.G.I make it even worse. Production I.G should take over this project and give it justice like they did to kuroko's basketball and Haiykuu. I would recommend you read the manga instead. This anime is not worth it.

2-1 in favor of Blue Lock. 🔥

▫Although it seems that in the second half, Ryusei will come in to make his mess.

The way my jaw dropped when Aryuu managed to save/block that last shot... 🤯

Interesting contrast of themes going on between the Itoshi brothers: Calm vs. intense. Experienced vs. hunger and etc.

god the match is just so exciting, it's easy to get taken away with the eps, but still pretty distracting how bad it looks at times. Can't help but feel slighted and how much more hype this season could've been if it looked as good as it deserved to.

Probably the weakest extra time of the season for me.

I had absolutely no idea of what was happening during Sae's scenes due to the lack of proper animation in his plays. Like seriously, what in hell did he do to surpass Isagi and Bachira in that last play??

Anyways, still a somewhat hype episode if I'm honest. Mainly because it's impossible for me not to feel excited when it comes to football.
Aryuu's sudden save was so glam, by the way.

I love how this far into the season the studio still chose to animate in png style as if they did not receive enough complaints, but this time it's sibling fights in png. Major disappointment.

let's see if they fuck up Shidou's aura in the next episode, because it's kinda special.

We've been known that the team favors Nagi over anybody, INCLUDING the MC, so we'll probably never see another person get that Nagi treatment from last episode for the rest of the match ngl. You could see a LITTLE bit of them wanting to give it to Niko in this ep, but yeah, still frames galore. Except for the cgi legs though.

Like, the drawings were like the only thing making this show somewhat watchable, but now they are just like any other generic anime drawing, so why even bother. Rin's goal was actually atrocious as well.

@IzanaSolos This was the first episode where the quality of the animation actually became noticeable for me to really care.

But as you said it's 2-1 and we see where it goes from here
