Wow. An anime that I had such high hopes for, only for my excitement to die on the very first episode. 
Getting Kira - of all people - kicked out instead of the guy who actually deserved getting sent home was an instakill.

Don't think I'll continue watching, but thanks for the new experience, anime.

The shows logic breaks when you realize people like Messi exist. And also strikers can be world class but you put them in a system with terrible management they become ass. I thought this show would be more about how you build a team. Instead its just an edgey sports show with cringe inner monologues and a dumb view of football.

What logic? This is just a battle shounen based around soccer football strikers, take it or leave it.  
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Late on this one, I am glad to get on the train. Bluelock seems hype. A great first episode and I love the direction it sets up for the anime.

Not really a fan of the more individualistic approach instead of the team-based one that football usually revolves around but this is a refreshing take on this sport and I'll just enjoy the ride

I haven't seen too many sports anime so I don't know why I was drawn to this one. But I'm very interested. And I'm interested to see how episodes continue to play out considering sport anime are animation intensive. I wonder how much the characters will be depicted in motion, running around and stuff. So far, I thought the animation itself was quite good, as was the art, music, and voice acting. The story at this point is very, very simple and straightforward, which I think benefits the attention of the audience in these first episodes. So I'm content.

I'm shocked at the end that the MC "turned" on the white-haired guy he befriended. I do like the twists and turns of the first episode. The shaved head dude would've been an easy target, but they thwarted our expectations with the MC deciding to aim for a player with a higher worth. Feeling inspired by this, the "sleeping" dude stole the ball and began going after the white-haired dude, but seemingly then passed the ball back to the MC who ultimately aimed right back at the white-hair guy. (Forgive my nicknames, but I can never really remember Japanese names.)
Any way, this whole sequence was incredible to watch and I honestly had no idea how it would end. Quite a cliffhanger wanting me to start Episode 2.

BTW, I'm a fan of the "ego" plot. There's so many "teamwork" themed anime out there -- it's all already been done -- so to switch things up and make the MC (seemingly, as of now) a bit more ruthless is admirable.

It was the beginning pf the blue lock event. How can you hate it. It introduced the idea of blue lock, Isagi's life backstory/problems and the new main characters.

The first episode plays heavily on making split decisions and how it will impact you, the team and future events. It shows what happens when you are in a mental state that is divided: what you want/ know/ belief versus what you are to expected to do/ think /behave. Yoichi Isagi plays this role well in the entirety of the first episode.

No spoilers from me 🤐

I have never seen a sports anime with such disdain for the sport that it's about. As someone who is an actual fan of football, I can safely say the original creator of Blue Lock doesn't know anything about football, nor does he understand anything about storytelling. Tired tropes, boring characters, no draw. I think anyone who enjoys this is genuinely misguided and knows nothing about the art of storytelling whatsoever. I dread the future of sports anime if this is what people are so hype about.

Wasn’t sure that I wanted to watch this. But after hearing that it doesn’t follow the same old sports anime formula, I at least got interested.

I think I got hooked on the first episode. Excited to see more.

Okay I fell in love with anime thanks to a sports shounen in Yowamushi Pedal, and football is the greatest sport on earth so this has to be the easiest 10/10 series I'll ever rate.

Great start! Strikers are always the stars and their egos need to suit their importance!
I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats.

Hmmm… not sure how to feel about Isagi being so selfish. Obviously if he doesn’t want his dream to end the. That’s the aim of Blue Lock but I’m wondering if it will make for an unlikeable MC.

I mean I can’t believe he just screwed over Kira like that… Kira’s such a nice guy!

Acabei de rever o episódio dublado depois que falaram que tava muito bom e TA MESMOOOOO. Eu acho tão difícil gostar de algum grito nos animes dublados, sabe quando o personagem só ta tipo AAAAAAA, enfim DUBLARAM BEM DEMAIS. E as vozes, meu deus, a do Bachira ta MUITO BOA. A do Isagi também, to doida pra ver ele com mais raiva, como que o dublador vai fazer pra passar isso, mas por enquanto 10/10. Quero muito ouvir a voz do Barou, do Nagi, mds a do RIN, vou surtar amei demais

i guess the coach knew about the quirks all along. The final boss must be all for one and it won't just be a soccer game anymore, the teams will be fighting villains with really strong quirks. Where is deku? And why is ichigo playing soccer now?

The premise of this show is cool, but the plot execution is kinda mehh. You have a whole bunch of selected soccer players who are clueless about this sketchy organization and just blindly listen to whatever this maniac is telling them to do, all for the sake of his own sketchy experiment. You can't be more gullible than this.

After reading the entirety of the manga, I finally decided to watch the anime, this first episode is a really solid introduction to the whole premise, Blue Lock is not your ordinary Football-Sport anime. Teamwork and friendship have never been a number 1 priority, only sheer skills and dominating ego can give birth to the fiercest striker. The best striker.

The art style and animation are better than I expected not having seen many clips beforehand. I hope this quality is consistent considering how fucking orgasmic and epic the panels in the manga are, that being said, the sound effects must also hit harder than a truck, and sure enough. I can hear that bass-heavy impacts sound fx, that shit is what gets the hype going.

On the other hand... BACHIRA'S VOICE IS SO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT I IMAGINED HIM TO SOUND LIKE (when I was reading the manga). Everyone else's voice sound just about what I'd expected them to be.

Crazy start, it sucks that Yoichi wasn't able to move on to nationals, the dude that made the shot on goal either didnt aim right or is just unlucky. Jinpachi is creepy and crazy, throwing out all common sense and the power of teamwork, absolutely wild. Kira is not happy with him, especially with how he called out his idol as an egotist. 300 players, but only one winner can move on to be a striker and survive the Bluelock. Things start to get intense with a soccer tag game in the Bluelock, and Gruimu doesn't want to lose already and become a temple monk. Yoichi's shot at the end was crazy too.

Zlatan wasn't mentioned when Ego was talking about the greats in football tf was that about?. This show seems like it's literally based off Zlatan. One of the greatest strikers, who happen to have an even greater ego lol. I knew that despite not really being big on football. Anyway, I wasn't into volleyball either, till now actually, but I loved Haikyuu. So I can't wait to see what this show can offer.

My main takeaway from this episode - Midousuji got bored of cycling and made Squid Game for soccer. He's probably violating about a dozen different laws but who cares cause there's finally a soccer anime shaping up to be on par with KuroBas & Haikyuu.

Did not expect that play at the end. It's rather cynical how the nicest guy literally finishes last.
