| It's so sad to compare the episodes with the manga, or with a tik tok video, how sad |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Oliver is an interesting character who seems to have been boxed in by his coaches, preventing him from playing the way he wanted. He’ll be a big obstacle for Isagi if he wants to stand out; but with the Japanese fans only supporting the U-20 team, Blue Lock will definitely surprise everyone. Even though I was hoping the episode would kick off with the match already, I really enjoyed it. They’ve built up good anticipation for what’s coming, which looks promising despite any issues with the animation—just hoping that part improves. |
 |
| The anime-original scenes were a welcome surprise. I especially liked the shots with Zantetsu talking to Hiiragi, as well as the little boy with his family. If you know, you know. The build-up to the match was great. It felt a bit dragging at times and the walking CGIs kinda took me out, but ultimately the anime did a great job of building hype. The chanting of the crowd was crazy. Makes me especially excited for the next episode. The actual match was okay...Bachira's dribbling looked surprisingly decent. Aiku!! Well, all I'm going to say is that they did his visuals justice lol. Additional time was as amusing as ever. I could watch a whole series of Nagi and Yukimiya just chatting about random stuff. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
I loved this intro to the U-20 Game WERE FINALLY HERE!!! So far the animation is average I hope it picks up in the next few episodes. Ima need Shidou to pull up to the field real quick. Aiku's block was nutty, let's see some Flow from the Bluelock players come in! |
 |
| No way that team has players below 20 lol. Oliver already looks like he's reaching his 40's and with two divorces on his shoulders. Also, why so surprise about Oliver's defensive skills? Don't these kids watch videos of previous U-20 matches or what? So-so episode. The build-up towards the match was surprisingly well handled. The beginning of the match? Not so much. |
| the build-up to the best match in the manga was actually pretty good, safe to say that the biggest strength of this season is the osts. they recreated that real life atmosphere pretty well. the match is also decent but wish it was a lot better. the iconic aiku panel was not bad as well. can't imagine how much more hype it could've been. |
 |
| Woah Blue Lock also holding up some big ass stadium inside, thought before its all just a densed tall building full of locked rooms. where did that comes from such an ordinary looking blue cube? Its actually a hollow big ass blue cube! They truly have a vision there, but Sae still holding up his gameplay, so really looking forward to see Blue Lock striker defense against him. This mere introduction kinda be fine to me, aside all those obvious negative aspects left and right. |

| Great and the animation has improved |
 |
my honest reaction  |
| The build up to the match between Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan was really good. The hype for the match was insane as I could feel the energy from the crowd from my headphones. It was giving me goosebumps and had me fired up. Oliver Aiku doesn't seem like a bad guy, just a pesky defender(my favorite position) Isagi has to overcome as a little thief going against Mr. Cop. |
 |
| There was a substantial amount of original content in here that I believe has really helped flesh out the U-20 match as a spectacle. The manga went straight into the match while here we get to see the preparation and crowds coming into the stadium. Nice extra bits of world-building for Blue Lock as a whole, since we never really get to see much outside of it. |
| I have read 2 perfect chapters of manga; They are Usogui Chapter 203 and Onani Master Kurosawa Chapter 23. Slam Dunk Chapters 272 to 276 are a perfect stretch of manga. |
| This is actually crazy, after being in the Blue Lock facility for most of the show, it's crazy to see a match of this magnitude and with a huge ass crowd in Blue Lock. You might want to put a collar on me. Damn, they really can't go one episode without saying some kinky shit lmao. This is pretty hype though, ngl. |
 |
| The tension is really high for them to be watched by almost all people in Japan. |

| Nice the U20 match is finally starting and there are so many people to watch it... Oliver is definitely gonna make it hard for the Blue Lock team... now regarding the animation it's still a slideshow, I don't have any hopes for the rest of the match |
 |
| In this episode we saw glimpses of 3d animation that looked less than appealing. Isagi's last line to Aiku was kinda kinky |
 |
| really good opening ceremony for this big match !! really loved it |
| I like Oliver, he's such a chill dude. Sad that we didn't get to see any of the U-20s training but am still super hyped for this match, that was a nice start. Is Shidou really not gonna play? I'm guessing he'll just get subbed in at some point lol. |
 |
| knew it that they were saving up the budget to animate the u20 match. the slideshow is going to be worth it i just know it. maybe the ratings will go up now. still this not getting more than a 7 or an 8 from me unless something like incredible happens. and just when it was getting good the episode ends. mannnnnnn and i got to binge the last 5 episodes. this is gonna be a pain |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| The best episode of the season!!!W Well, starts the match, and all the preview was amazing!!! kekeke |
| I love that its not moving slow. Plenty of action |
| *** Trancos *** |
| Finally the match against Japan U20 starts! This is the best "animation" yet! I can feel all the tension for their first match together! The CGI did a great job! |
| They really nailed the stadium atmosphere when the players entered the pitch. However, some of the actual football moves were done in CGI and that's just lazy to me. I like this Oliver character, he has left a good impression to me so far. Got an interesting design too. Whereas I cannot stand Itoshi Sae's edgy presence. Rin giving Isagi a bump to snap him back was nice to see. |
| The build up was an excellent idea to include to hype up the U20 match even more. Even if there's still no movement in the actual game. I appreciate the build up scene. |
 |
| Holy shit man I'm pumped look at that crowd and the pacing goddamn |
 |
| Props to them for starting the game this episode, maybe it's just my One Piece instincts but I for sure though that it was gonna be at least 2 more episodes until then. ALSO OLIVER LOOKS SO GOOD AND IS SUCH A COOL CHARACTER WTF |
