still not looking great at times, which is a real shame, as the story and match are so exciting, been said to death but I really feel like Blue Lock deserved better.

it feels weird to say as this season has got much flak, but in-spite of that, I'm enjoying it so much I wish they would've done another 24 ep season and given us some anime-only filler, there's a lot we didn't see from the first stage and interested to see what happened to Kunigami (dunno if that's covered in the manga or later in the story at all) because wouldn't he along with the others who were eliminated at least be interested/curious enough to be watching this match? Would've been cool to follow some of them up to the day of the match with them watching it.

No way those defenders are below 20 xD

Insane goal by Nagi. Bro really went and contorted his body mid-air like a Junji Ito's Uzumaki character to achieve it.

And not that I like Sae but gotta side with him on this one. BL team has an improvised goalkeeper and Sendou couldn't score against him. That's lame, man.

I know I'm not the only one that cheered when Nagi scored. I think I woke up my neighbor squealing, "Naaaaagggggiiiiiiiii!!!"

I wonder if the U-20 Capt. will change things up now that he realizes they all just think about scoring.

overall it's pretty intriguing but not the slideshow looking animation. Hopefully i get to see some up right improvment of the animation in the future. Goodluck out there

Despite its time constraints and possible budget issues, I can still see the amount of effort they put into this show. There are those moments that you see greatness seeping through.

This episode is one of those moments.

I am happy that Nagios goal is well animated but angry that because of the movie about him the animation is suffering for season 2

Very nice episode, felt like 10 minutes. Animation is of course the way it is and it's disappointing, but the match is interesting and fun to watch nonetheless. Well done, Nagi!

I also enjoyed the mini episode with Reo at the end, so cute how he cares about Nagi

I know everyone hates Blue Lock nowadays, seeing its low score, but it's still U-20 arc, and I think it's great

This shit is so ass
The soundrack leading to Sae's goal is dogshit
Sae's goal had no impact a all.
everything is slideshow excep Nagi's goal.
I also I hate that they wasted additional time on NagiReo shit.
@GangsterCat I honestly think the issue with that soundtrack was the producer not realizing that he was making it for a slideshow where people would talk over it the entire time. I believe it would have been been better if the animation was more fluent to match the tempo of the music.

People seem way to stuck up about the animation. Still animation? Sorry, I haven't been paying attention because the top tier voice acting, sound effects and visual effects do a superb job lifting the whole feel. I'm absolutely loving this stuff. The director and/or animators clearly know their timing as well, it's insane how much they're able to do with so little. The animation could be a lot more smooth, for sure, but the show is just quite simply so good with the rest of its qualities that I don't even think about it until I enter a forum and see people complaining.

Nagi's shot was spectacular. I spoke out loud to my screen, "Bro, wh-at the f*ck?"

If only it had a good animation because the match is just epic so far, 1 - 1 it's so tense and the OST is making it even better, Nagi's goal was insane ahaha, it's even more frustrating that the animation is like that sadly :(

I am shocked how little people seem to understand about a U20 which besides stands for UNDER 20.
If you would simply take a look at your U20 you would know that many aren't set to play on a big team weekly.

Now back to the episode. It was really well done and introduced interesting match ups and stop crying about the animation. It's good enough.
And Magis goal was beyond crazy. I'm all in and love it. Sad you chose to complain
