Really hoping they stop using that CGI, even the 2D artwork looked lazy this episode in multiple moments. Clearly they didn't go budget with this episode.

Damn why couldn't this have happened like a few episodes earlier. Like I'm confused on how this is even going to end, hopefully its not rushed. But I guess we'll see soon.

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.

Just shows that any efforts of Isagi's team is close to none in front of Rin.

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.

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.

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.

I've faith in Bachira. I think he's gonna apeshit in the next episode when he finally listens to his monster. Right now, Isagi and Rin are controlling the field.

I really love how Isagi was willing to get devoured by Barou in order to score. It is becoming more clear that there is a big difference in the skillsets of isagi and Bachira.

Did Rin really use the word NPC?? He is such a big edge-lord lmao. Can't wait for him to lose. Gonna happen someday.

Also lol Isagi will probably hype up Rin even if he just walks around the pitch.

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.

i swear that freaking Ego guy is never impressed lol
when teaming up with Nagi, Isagi can beat Rin... next step... being able to beat him alone

starting the second half, Rin with a spin pass that tricked Barou, before positioning to get the ball back and instantly throw it to the glam guy... who had no choice but to give it back to Rin
Nagi went to try and black his shoot, while remembering the fake from earlier... but Rin passed by him and instantly passed to Bachira who scored a goal, with Isagi still looking for the ball LOL Rin really is controlling the game, knowing all 7 of the other players skills and how to make them move to achieve his goal
"what made you think a mere NPC like you could read me?" lols rekt
Bachira wanted an high5 but he got called NPC#2 instead hahaha
this Rin guy talks like Barou but has 100x better skills
Barou's face, we know he is gonna go for a kill soon

Isagi started but seeing Rin come for him, he passed it to Chigiri, who went to the inside, passing through his opponent... Rin came for him, which made him pass it to Nagi on the opposite side
while all eyes were on Nagi, Isagi went for the blind spot and got in a good spot to shoot... but ofc, Rin is 10x faster than him and blocked his course
finally, after waiting for his chance, Barou came in like a lion, stealing the ball from his own teammate, confusing everyone, including Rin and scoring the goal
"why don't you try to control me, mr absurdly long bottom lashes" lmao
Barou looking good now with all that dark electricity around him, he is excited

while Isagi is trying to make plans to use Barou's strange style, Rin already took note of it, won't happen a second time

the new plan from Isagi is to have Chigiri press whoever has the ball, while the other 3 cut possible passes ... lol he just appears near the opponent so fast that they have no time to react

Bachira somehow passed through Chigiri, and even managed to go through Isagi, but Barou came to steal the ball ... Rin managed to react and stop him just in time, but he couldn't predict it before it happened

Bachira is excited to finally have strong players who can keep up with him unlike the ones before blue lock... but atm, he is no match for the 2 genius ... so is it time for a power-up?

while everyone is starting to get tired, the gloomy guy just has infinite stamina, so rin is using him to quickly advance to the goal before the others can catch up to them
Chigiri and Barou crashed into him so they both got yellow cards
lmfao Barou excuse "i was just hugging the guy" as if that's not a fault :D meanwhile Chigiri called her a useless VAR

with this free kick, Isagi was worried about jumping and losing his timing to go press BAchira if Rin decided to pass... but Rin knew about his indecision and threw the ball just over Isagi's head, knowing he wouldn't jump ... what the f lmao
there was never 2 choices, Rin scoring is the only choice, he wants t be the best striker after all
and with that. Rin team is winning 4-3 ... one more goal and they win
Bachira continues with his monologue, i'd say (again) his power up is coming... but now that the game is 4-3, he can't really show off or Isagi will lose... does the author want Isagi to go down again? this time possibly losing his favorite teammate Nagi?

aditional time, with long bangs guy teaming up with baka glasses guy, who will be the 3rd one? (i don't care tbh...)

Oh an NPC calling the MC an NPC is tight. Probably psychological warfare in this case, knowing Rin.

I genuinely can't remember the last time Blue Lock had a throw-in.

Loved Barou being Barou. Either this or Jojo are going to end up making me gay.

Is Anri just there for Ego to make fun of? Poor girl.

Not as hype as the previous episode but still entertaining nonetheless. Barou "outsmarting" Rin because he's irrational like that was cool.

As a manga reader I was sad to see that Bachira's realization was not as impactfull in the anime as it was in the manga. He's my favorite character and his questioning throughout this match is really important for his development. Also they're adapting a lot of chapters per episode, I'm starting to question where exactly the anime is gonna end, unless they make an episode dedicated to Reo and Kinigami's match I don't see how they're gonna drag Isagi's match for the next 4 episodes.

There are only 3 episodes left. If they continue to cover 5 chapters an episode like they are doing, they can finish the season at chapter 94, which is a very appropriate ending to the season.

For the love of God PLEASE give me some actual animation beyond simply a "passable" level of quality besides some goal shots, I'm getting sick of this.
At this point, it feels like the VFX team are putting more effort into this than the actual animators. 

I don't like to be someone who criticizes the animation of an anime most of the time, I care more about the story honestly, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Give me at least one thing to remember from the past few episodes and say to myself "Yeah, that was hype as fuck".
