A lot of Isagi vs. Rin chess play and monologuing going on in this episode, pretty fun watching Isagi trying and often failing to outplay Rin. Barou and Tokimitsu finally got their time to shine. Barou's lion motif is so cool, Barou always steals the scene and amps up the hype at the most critical moments. Poor Bachira feeling like he's getting left behind, looks like it's time for him to evolve in the next episode?!

And omg Zantetsu, he's so dumb I love him xD

Too many ugly CGI shots and lazy/rushed drawings. But the good ones are pretty good. 

I wonder if Isagi picks up Rin at the end. I know Bachira is his boyf... I mean, his goal, but it would make sense to pick the strongest player for your team, and who is stronger than # 1?

This was probably the funniest after-credits scene lol

It's a shame how poorly handled this anime is. This is why i'm always reluctant when I'm watching sports anime, you just can't have a fun sports anime without good animation, because sports inherently imply movement. The anime had so much potential to just be crazy campy fun like Kuroko if it had the same production value. At this point every episode is just a slideshow with narrated and worse looking manga panels, and it's depressing.

I've watched Kuroko years ago. I wonder if I didn't care back then or didn't notice cheap quality there? Because to me Kuroko was incredible hype show, I really can't remember any crappy CGI models or slide show.

pretty good episode, the OST was really good once again.
barou devours all. most of the barou/lion hunting scenes were well done, he's the irregularity.
VAR getting shat on even in fiction lmao, it can't escape. rin's freekick was also cool.

bachira's realization hit hard and the next episode should cover my favorite chapter from this match so i'm really hoping it's adapted well.

And rightly so. Those fuckers have made crucial and incorrect decisions that led to Arsenal dropping points this season and they tried their hardest to do it today again. With the number of blatant handballs by Bournemouth players waved away by the on-field referee and VAR you would've thought the players were playing a game of volleyball or some shit. I'm happy to get the win but the officiating has got to improve. I mean someone was already sacked because of an error.

Bachira finally found the monsters he longed so much to play against. But here is the new issue, while he was fanticizing of playing with them, they reached a level he hasn't reached yet. It's like it's their game, he's just witnessing it. Seeing as how these character's evolve, he won't stay down for long. And this doesn't bode well for team white. The last thing they need would be for Meguru Bachira to awaken with just one more goal to win.

Anyways Barou's villain style of play is absolutely perfect for a madlad such as himself. His goal was definitely the most badass in the game so far. But sadly a genius like Rin can adjust even against his hard counter. If it weren't for his absolutely cringe dialogue, Rin would be flawless.

4.5/5 episode

not one, not two, but THREE pens ruled against lmaao you can't make this up. i'm actually surprised they even allowed arsenal's second goal to count. the timing of this episode was very solid tho common VAR L.

The match reached a new height, with Isagi and Rin constantly analyzing the field and what each other of them is planning next. I was waiting for Barou to devour someone on the field. He was also the first person to confuse Rin, since Rin didn't expect such a weird play by Isagi's team.

It's definitely a back a forth between both team. Isagi's brain is operating at full stretch and it still seems like Rin is one step beyond him. Rin's free kick was perfectly shot. Especially in this moment Isagi was thinking too much about what Rin would do next, although the answer was so easy.

Even with 2 monsters (Isagi and Rin) on the field, so exactly what Bachira always wanted, he still feels like he's getting left out. Why am I playing football? I could be wrong, but this could be Bachira's true awakening. With that Isagi's team absolutely will have a big problem.

I assume this match will unfold next week. Can't wait to see who will be on top at the end.

The ep had everything to be good, it adapted an incredible part of 4 vs 4, but it adapted in the worst possible way.

Frames in which the uniform is oscillating, anotomy errors in still frames, in fact the budget is running low.

Another incredible chapter of the two monsters Rin and Isagi!

This chapter was filled with many amazing things like Rin being completely serious about winning, how Isagi evolves more and uses tactics like squeezing Barou's unpredictable plays and more!

Sadly there are 3 episodes left of this season, but I will wait patiently!

Great chapter today!

King Barou crushed Rin puppet control. Bachira once again having self identity crisis. Chigiri seems to have a leg trouble, dunno. Muscle boy had more than his muscle as a key point this episode. Glam boy never stop his glam thing. Nagi unexpectedly stopped doing genius shit. And Isagi? Also no stopping point of him to narrate every each of flow that is to happen next inside his head...

Anri-chan really need to appear more often for the rest of the next episode till the last.

Isagi and Rin's scene in the anime was quite dull compared to the manga, but it wasn't bad tbh. Still a great episode, only wished it was smoother. Can't complain about Barou, the goat as usual.

I meant to say that Kuroko looked very good, and Blue Lock would've been just as fun as Kuroko if it was close to it in terms of production. Sadly Blue Lock's production is a mess

Siento que entre más capítulos toman un partido, más se le queda cara de Super campeones a Blue Lock.

Y sin malinterpretarme, hay momentos entretenidos, pero me gustaba mucho el dinamismo de los primeros capítulos, donde un solo encuentro era un episodio.

Another great episode and I also think that Bachira will evolve next but my concern is that if he evolves that may mean that his team wins since they are already up 4-3. On that note, I don't believe that Isagi has scored so he's also due for a goal. I'm thinking Isagi will score next to make it 4-4 and then who knows what happens next? It will probably involve Bachira though but regardless of what happens I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Yeah I'm trying to enjoy it but ngl, this adaptation is not doing justice to the absolute banger manga. Hope they up the quality of the next season or have another studio such as Production IG take over the reins.
