| oops! a battle royale spokon! this is going to get interesting :3 Oliver Atom and Steve Hyuga are the two best players? XDD |
 |
| That was quite interesting, not what I expected jumping into my first ever football anime lol. Fun little take on the sports genre in general. Kind of what I felt jumping into Food Wars for the first time. |
| looks like this is a violent sports show huh... good thing UNISON SQUARE GARDEN providing quality performance OP! 4/5. |

Phjsh said: they put some dumbass phrase "lock off" instead of "fuck off" in the manga which sounded cooler.. also saying "ill in the head" instead of "fucked in the head" which also sounds cooler, "backwards country" instead of "shit hole of a country". besides the censorship, they also didn't go into as much detail as in the manga as to what egoism means and what it means to be an egotistical striker Thanks for the information! Also they removed parts with Anri Teieri from the first episode as I noticed. |

| Here we go!!! Never been more excited for a sports anime since Haikyuu. Blue Lock started off strong and ended on a strong note with this first episode. So far, I'm impressed and it left a good first impression. The animation looks amazing and you can feel the intensity of it all. I'm excited to see more. Also. Nice side crossbar shot.  |
 |
| For the first episode, this is more than I expected. Really good. Now I understand the hype behind this anime. |
Pre_Yum said: One of the most anticipated adaptations of this year and as the fans say, it is one of the best football manga adaptations. So, I wasn't gonna miss this. I didn't get the chance to watch Ao Ashi this year which was very good apparently. But, for now, let's focus on Blue Lock. Looks like Japan is desperate to improve its football performance by training some 300 elite players in a facility called 'Blue Lock' and then pulling out the best striker among them. Idk man... make one player the best and don't give a fuck about others on the team. I'm more of a team player. The art style is very amazing. And, the animation looks great as well. Also, the OST is really good. I'm glad 8bit chose to do this show because they are very good. Very impressed. Though, in sports shows, I like realism. I hope it follows that path. And, I wanna see the growth of everyone. Really excited about this show. Great start. Btw, Yoichi's mum is really cute. And, sleeping Bachira. LUL if it’s realism you seek, then you definitely should give ao ashi a watch as well, that’s what makes it so good! |
| People pls don't expect this to actually be realistic in it's tactics that Ao Ashi may have but what's praised is the craziness, which is the entertainment and Isagi kicking that ball to this guy's soccer face was epic. |
| I liked the animation style, it fits the sports genre. I hope the new Slam Dunk will have that kind of animation style. |
| Really loved it, especially the last part |
| I'm quite entertained by the interesting theme in this anime about individuals not teams in soccer. I think this anime will have a strong story about individual competition. I will follow this anime. I hope this anime will be interesting in the future for me. Good start 4/5 |

| holy shit this was good. i couldn't help but laugh after the end. too good man. 5/5. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| That's such an unique sports anime. It gave me the goosebumps. I never had so much fun watching a sports anime before. It's like a soccer version of Squid Game. One thing that makes this anime really interesting is that they are mentioning real life players. None of the sports anime that I have watched did that. Another thing is that it doesn't revolve around your typical teammate bonding like every other sports anime. I'm kinda tired of watching “for the team” type of stuff. Also, it's going to be so much more fun to watch this with Fifa 2022 going on at the same time. As for the animation, 8bit is actually doing pretty good. I just hope it doesn't drop cuz of 2 cour. OP is great and can't wait to hear the ED. |
| Very explosive episode, although the talkative part of crazy coach wasn't as inspiring as it seemed to our soccer guinea pigs. |
