wow, they really knocked out homeslice in the first episode?

anyways, i hope this is more like the soccer/football version of "death race" than a true soccer/football anime. not because i don't like football, i do, but because that opening scene where the mc passed the ball was pretty mediocre. it wasn't *terrible*, but it wasn't all that realistic, either. and i hate watching sports shows that have terrible sports acting

if, it's more like a soccer battle royale though, that could be really fun

i really liked all these dudes faces/designs. looks like an eclectic group

probably like a 5.5/10 to start, mainly because i'm not sure how exactly it's going to go (see my concerns above)

Already very entertaining and a breath of fresh air for typical "teamwork makes the dreamwork" sports anime or stories in general. The characters and designs are all very unique and different with their own personalities. Can't wait for more.

This anime is gonna be intense. The cute guy did not deserve to be eliminated so quickly tho tbh I don't even watch soccer irl but this seems like it'll be interesting

I'm a fan of sports anime but I don't know... is this anime really worth it? the animation is good and hype but the MC annoys me so much! he reminds me of Deku but I like Deku though.. he's the annoying Deku type lol I don't know why, his eyes annoys me too... he's all talk (internal monologue) but didn't do anything much? XD it's weird why I'm annoyed with this show..

I haven't had the pleasure of reading the manga yet but this first episode pulls no punches on the tone. Ego is a really scary guy, the Blue Lock project is crazy! I thought I wasn't going to like Kira at first with all his fans and possibly having a little bit of an ego but was I wrong. Kira turned out to be one of the most selfless characters in this episode. Guess there's no room for someone like that at Blue Lock.

The sleepy guy is full of surprises, I didn't expect him to kick
Igarashi right in the face. That got violent so fast!

Isagi's parents are a little weird, heh. That was a random thought, I know.

Right off the bat, the animation looks damn clean. Definitely looks better than Ao Ashi. Now we have to see if the story is good enough to overtake Ao Ashi.

Isagi's frustration was so visceral. Felt that even though I'm not the biggest football fan.

Blue Lock's premise is much more sci-fi and 'edgy' compared to Ao Ashi imo. 'Edgy' might not be the right word but the "scoring is everything" mentality, the "last one standing" theme, and the "become an egoist" goal, sure points that way.

Kira was actually a really chill and interesting guy. Didn't expect such a cheerful and 'mc's sidekick' kinda guy to be out of the story so soon. It would be cool if he comes back in the future as a much more cold-hearted and ruthless striker.

OP was pretty good.

Really drawn in by the 1st episode. Excited about the second episode!

The art is stunning, but the animation was weird.

The story, well, it was very shounen. lol

Poor white-haired guy. He was the most interesting out of everyone. Despite being so good, he was modest and capable of recognising others' hard work. He should have stayed a bit longer to compliment the protagonist's character.

1. I wanted a soccer anime
2. Battle Royale with soccer?
3. Score is high.
4. Is this really justified?
5. Two cours.

Huh, guess I'll give it more chances. Individualism vs collectivism. Feels cheap so far. I dunno. Hasn't caught fire, that's for sure.

IN MY OPINION.
The goal of the first episode is to introduce a story plot, characters, and the driving force for the story. Blue Lock achieved all three successfully by introducing a situation uncomfortable for the MC, thus making him conflicted. This internal conflict became one of the driving forces of the story. The story identifies the difference between the "striker" position and other positions like midfielder and wingers. It became clear as to what the urgency of having a strong striker in football team is.

Nice to see a soccer anime. This one looks like it's gonna be good. I'm guessing that this is gonna be like the death game genre but with soccer and without the death part.

Man I miss these fucking 24 episode anime.

"If you want to be strong beat the strongest"

Hell yeah. If you want to live and be the deadliest player in history, got to go after the top.

Fuck BNHA and its one for all/all for one. Its one for himself here. Got to be the grind.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

It diddn't in the slightest feel intense.. twas kinda dull.. I guess since I've no attachment to the characters.

Behold of my awesomeness~

What if we took Football and mixed it with Squid Game? Sounds kind of cringe tbh, but given that this selection is only limited to the striker, then it makes at least some sense.

The coach is still a creep though. I wonder how he got selected for the role.
