Ok, most of the episodes were boring, which made the hopeless animation stand out more for me, but the last action made up for it all.

AHHHH NAGIIIIII!!!
gotta be best moment of the season. my lord. goosebumps
especially after watching the Nagi spinoff movie

I think Sae is lazy on defence, which is something Blue Lock can exploit. on that last play I was waiting for him to jump in which never happened

sick episode, 10/10. animation has improved a bit. hopefully it keeps doing big moments like Nagi's goal well

NAGI SEISHIRO!!!! AHHHHH!!!

We struggled so hard during the match and Sae was doing what he's known best for, Scoring. But, that one moment from Nagi made this entire episode so fucking hype. AHHHHHH. It was so good.

That silence was so fucking sweet to my ears.
@Pre_Yum amen. my reaction exactly XD

I don't even care about the animation at this point. To me, it's watchable and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. This is still HYPE regardless of the bad animation. Sucks that it could've been so much better but, they are nailing the hype aspects of the match really well. The pause after Nagi's goal was sick

I don’t know if the bad animation this season has made me a bit desensitised but the close up CGI feet movement shots are actually pretty good. At this point it would have been better if they just went full CGI for this match.

Nagi’s goal was sick though

Wall at the least they did justice to Nagi and his absolutely phenomenal goal, because everything else is power point level of animation...

NAGI!!! YES!

Yeah they at least did this part justice, but here I am wondering why they didn't get the team that animated Oblivion Battery to do this, it would have looked even more epic.

bro the animation is kinda letting me down but the big moments still hit at least since the MANGA IS INSANE. The hype from Nagi's goal gave me goosebumps even as a Manga reader! SO NUTS. Hopefully, the animation is nuts in the 2nd half!

I'm honestly surprised, This episode blew me away. I thought they would disappoint me but if I'm being very honest, They executed this well. Nagi's goal felt really breathtaking, And the characters are moving now although the stills are still there but I'll gladly take what I can.

I have hope for the rest of the match now!

everything prior to Nagi's goal was by far the worst animation we have seen this season, tbf though, there wasn't much animation considering half the episode was just still frames. totally ruined sae's goal.

however, complete justice was given to nagi's goal, still not the peak animation we saw in S1, but beyond passable

If there’s one word to describe Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 7, it’s exhilarating.

Nagi's acrobatic goal was a masterpiece—pure poetry in motion! His calm, almost nonchalant demeanor after such an incredible display of skill makes him even cooler. The way everyone, from the stadium to those watching at home, stopped to process what they had just witnessed? Iconic. That kind of storytelling, even with limited animation, creates moments that stick. It’s moments like these that remind me why Nagi will always be my favorite character in Blue Lock. That goal wasn’t just a score—it was a statement. It was him introducing himself to the world in the most spectacular fashion. It's him saying "Japan, I have arrived!"
Nagi’s line—“Did i mess up introducing myself”—added the perfect touch of humility to his brilliance.

However, I can’t ignore the elephant in the room: the animation. The art style is amazing, and the visuals are sharp, but the animation itself leaves much to be desired. While it doesn’t ruin the show for me, there are scenes—like Bachira’s dribble—that could’ve been breathtaking with better animation. Instead, I found myself laughing at the clunkiness. But despite this, Blue Lock proves that you don’t need top-tier animation to make a great anime. The storytelling, character arcs, and sheer excitement more than make up for it.

Then there’s Sae Itoshi. While his talent is undeniable, his arrogance is a hard pill to swallow. Characters like Nagi, who combine skill with a cool and relatable personality, feel more compelling to me. Sae, on the other hand, exudes pride and aloofness, making him difficult to root for. But in a way, his demeanor adds depth to the rivalry, especially with his brother, Rin Itoshi in the mix

Ultimately, this episode is a showcase of what Blue Lock does best: creating moments that make you pause, rewind, and feel utterly amazed. While the animation isn’t perfect, the emotions, narrative, and unforgettable characters like Nagi make this a season worth watching. If you’re considering dropping it, let Nagi’s brilliance in this episode be a reminder of why you started in the first place.

9/10 for the episode. Nagi Seishiro, take a bow!

I did not see Shidou at all this episode. It was like he wasn’t making part of the team, considering the fact that he holds the 2nd place after Rin.

What an insane goal from Sae Itoshi! I knew he will score a goal at least sooner or later. But Rin did not give up and took his revenge. The triangle method worked for Rin, Isagi and Bachira and I was impressed by Nagi’s goal. Nagi has a huge potential, I knew from the beginning that he’ll be a legend.

It's funny that the characters don't run but slide the whole time, like this is Ice Hockey not Football. It's even funnier that whenever they call for defence, my mind is like, how will they move, they don't have Enough Frames to reach the Ball, yet somehow they manage to cover a huge distance in a single frame. XD

You know the animation is bad when the cgi'd feet is the only movement in the entire ep. My focus is lost by the bad animation a lot of times (the Nagi goal was clean tho). The best way to describe this season is "it's not unwatchable" and I love how they get creative to hide the bad animation. I suggest to read the manga of u-20 first and see the difference I feel like you all will enjoy the arc more that way.

Talk about sucking all the intensity out of the match as the animation quality has really tanked since the first season. This was supposed to be the highlight of the show up until this point, but with all the stills and stuff, it absolutely bottomed out with this episode. I have to wonder what budget was set aside for this season as there was quite a lot of corner-cutting. Everything is moving in super slo-mo going to show that they tried to produce this as cheaply as they can get away with.

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.
