| Finished watching it and....I don't know if I'm just outgrowing anime by now but this has a 8.36 score which is a very high score and all and yet the anime....was just plain silly. This ain't football, this doesn't remotely resemble football. It's constantly from start to finish so completely over the top and I know it's meant to be dramatised for viewers but it's done to such an overboard extent that it feels like the series was written by a teenager for kids all hyped up on sugar. The characters in particular were just ridiculous, all of them so over the top that none of them are likable. You got that Rin who seems like a copy of Sasuke, the main character who won't stop shouting and exclaiming everything, guys who are constantly angry and more like Vegeta from Dragon Ball, overly effeminate guys, one of the main characters is going on about a monster inside him, a crybaby who won't stop panicking, twins where one of em don't speak at all etc. It's a football anime, it's more over the top than DBZ and it's just about guys kicking balls into a net. Haikyu was good because while it was still over the top it wasn't done to such a ridiculous degree that it didn't resemble the sport they were playing. This is just way overdone, loud and obnoxious, like a spoof or something. And to say how much they play football, most the time they're just talking. So how this scores so high I don't know but I think I'm just starting to lose interest in anime after like 15 years of watching it. |

| I don't interested with football so I don't know if it resembles the actual sport or not but its enjoyable as an anime I think. |

| The remaining Blue Lock players are all here! Coming from the manga, I'm surprised just how colorful their hair colors are, we don't always get to see them being colored aside from color spread. I am most hyped to see Shido, Hiori, and Kurona, aside from them there are also obviously many faces I recognize, some that'll see soon in the anime and some further on, but all is good until you see that Kunigami has failed the second selection, what a shame, truly... If only there were a way to come back... The U-20 vs Blue Lock 11 arc is coming for the next season along with some of the matches such as how Kunigami lost to Shido. Man, I'm fucking hyped up, U-20 arc is probably one of the greatest and most glorious arcs of the series to date. It's a match that will put the no-named Blue Lock players against the famous and well-known U-20 Japan National Team. A match that is not limited to the eyes of Ego and the JFU but to Japan and an extent, to the rest of the world. Shit's about to get fired up!!! ============================================ The Blue Lock anime is enjoyable, I find that it adapted the manga nicely. The sound effects were impactful and the OSTs are wonderful, the art style was lovely but of course, there were some things I did not like like the aura of the characters. I wish it was more solid, something that was drawn together with the character model instead of just some glowing aura that was placed on top during the touch-up process of the episode creation. And for God's sake, Green is a nasty color for my man Isagi, where is his Purplish-blue aura??? However, that's all simply my pet peeve... The biggest problem I had with the anime is its lack of 'good' animations. There were some tidbits of fluid almost rotoscoped-like animation, but that was like a single needle amongst a stack of hay. They needed more fluid animation, more movements during Isagi's analysation moments, more dramatic visual effects, more MORE MORE!!! This is not a series that bases itself on intricate story, and masterful character writing. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT GUYS WRECKING SHIT UP WITH THEIR UNMATCHED EGOS! If the 2nd season has so much visuals effects to the point where we barely see the green color of the grass field, you know the studio is doing things right. Afterall that's how it many of the suspensful scens are in the manga. |

| Nooo, Kunigami died! He was a hero 😭 |
| I wonder whats next, Blue Lock the Movie? |
| They really got humbled. Can'g wait for more. |
| Wild final episode, and I already can't wait for a 2nd season. Rin's team gets crushed by the Big 5 World Strikers, and everyone felt that insane feeling of being the best in the world, except Rin, who was frustrated and thought he could take them down. RIP KUNIGAMI, apparently Ryusei sent him sliding down to hell and is also a jerk, he doesn't care if a player was a nice, fair, pure, and graceful. He even tried to kick Isagi for telling him that he didn't know anything about Kunigami, Chigiri saves Isagi from being kicked by him. Bachira coming in with that roast on Ryusei, deserved. Anyways, Bluelock might get shut down soon by the bigwigs of Japanese soccer, and with things changing, if Bluelock wins against Japan's U-20 team, they can be the new U-20 team to represent the world. |
| The author of Blue Lock didn't have to cook so damn hard, man really went ahead and wrote a masterpiece. Great show! |
 |
| Can't wait to see 2nd season :) |

| god I hope those world 5 people aren't going to be actual characters and feature that much, I don't like any of those designs and I hate hearing the horrible english VAing. I'd much rather have seen what happened to the others back in stage 2. this episode/finale just pissed me off, not that interested in any of the new characters they showed. And a lot of the mindset and mentality this series has towards football is just incorrect. The "football isn't about a team and is about strikers" is just wrong, although goalscorers do always get the glory I actually see that as a fault of modern football. We often see players who played outstandingly better overall games outshone for accolades simply because some other player tapped some in. Of course Strikers can also be exceptionally skilled and the best player on pitch, but so can any player in any position. It's also consistently pretty disrespectful of Japanese football; calling it not good enough, placing pretty unfair and unrealistic lofty expectations on them, and using that as reasoning insult the level of football. can't say I'm that pumped for s2 although it was a enjoyable watch at times. |
