I kind of knew that besides of creating the best strike of the world, creating the best team was too an objective.

remember the brazil of the five 10's?, now see an team with 11 strikers, lol in real life it doesn't work but I'm looking foward to this in the second season.

This was one of if not the best sport anime I have seen in a while really like how the story played out loved each character dynamic and their egos and 5he way they end it off was solid honestly 11/10, people who think I'm wrong about this being the best sport anime I would disagree,can't wait for season 2 almost done with the manga so pretty hyped about it.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the anime. Nonetheless, this has the potential to be the most overrated show of the year.

Considering the fact this was not even the peak or best part of Blue Lock, the season 1 did really well

However some of the anime original dialogues didn't fit it well and also the animation from the top looked weird in episode ranging 15-19

But I have to acknowledge the fact that both OP & ED slapped hard in both cours

I am gonna save my precious 10 rating for the second peak season, 8/10 for this one

Hyped for the season 2, cause finally the shit is going to be real! I hope we get another 24 episodes series but that seems highly unlikely considering the fact they will just cover Blue Lock vs U-19 Japan which might require 13-16 episodes at max

6/10, the fun the series gave me can't overcome the amount of cringe dialogue and subpar animation that was present throughout the first season.

Bruh... Kunigami out but freaking Igarashi in? I call bullshit.
Also what's with the personalities of The World Five? Easily the worst depiction of nationalities I have seen in a while.

Anyways, pretty mediocre show overall. Clearly not for people who take football seriously because man did this anime's philosophy disrespect the sport at times.
There were some hype moments here and there but not gonna lie, I felt bored during most of the episodes. Most of the characters were annoying asf and the dialogues were simply awful. The fact of the characters being teenagers doesn't mean they have to act like cringey edgelords 24/7.

And we say “see you soon” to one of the best sport anime out there. This season was a blast and I got hooked immediately since the first selection started. I’ll miss the times I get so hyped watching it. Was a fun journey and Blue Lock has proved itself one of the most unique sport anime along with the intense atmosphere it delivers

I’ll be sure to watch season 2 and the movie coming soon. 8/10

Meh, that were some cringy lines from English-speaking players, lol.

And... I'm not really interested in watching the next season.

It was entertaining enough, but I got tired of the show in recent episodes, too much edge and not enough substance.

RIP Kunigami. He was a good guy. I wonder if that is really the last we'll see of him.

Good ending to the season. I was so worried that it was going to end terribly awkward in the middle of this world five match. But I was worried for nothing: The world five crush them in rapid fashion, with enough time to cover quite a lot of other stuff as well. We see the other teams who have passed this stage, holding the 35 remaining players. And the pacing doesn't show any signs of slowing down, with not more of these selection stages, but rather the very existence of blue lock being at stake, and having to go up against Japan's U-20 team to not only save it, but BECOME it. 

I'll give it a low-8/10. It was kind of dumb at times, but all of its moments of extreme hype more than make up for whatever weak points it has. Looking forward to season 2.

8.1/10

Don't usually mind it but man Loki's Engrish in this episode was genuinely atrocious.

Anyway, hopefully season 2 will be less still frames and more actual animation.

What a really fun surprise of a show, watching this week to week was a total blast. Animation stumbled quite a bit more often than I'd like, but I felt it was more than made up for with some incredibly striking direction and imagery, it manages to sell all of its big moments effortlessly well. Really looking forward to Season 2 and Episode Nagi.

Also seeing people here complain about the dialogue does sting a bit, since I feel like the cheesy, unhinged, over-the-top edginess of its dialogue is one of the most charming aspects of the series.

Good finale.  Probably gonna read the manga while I wait for season 2.

I'm curious though.  Only seven teams made it but statistically as many as forty-nine teams could have made it.  Did Ego ever mention a time limit?  Or did he just wake up one day and said "All right you've had long enough"

THE GOAT SHIDOU IS HERE RYUUSEI IS FINALLY HERE. also yukimiya, hiyori and nanase. and the return of other familiar faces.
didn't expect shidou to be voiced by gojo's VA tho.

can't wait to see more of shidou's insanity animated, hope the next season has better animation tho. pretty sure the reception of this season has been mostly positive so it should.
strong 8/10 for me, animation is the only thing that pulled it back. can't wait for the next arc, best arc in blue lock and best new gen arc imo!

All I could think about this episode was the image of a bunch of Japanese voice actors looking down, reading and struggling from a script, and being asked to do the English again until it's "passable" lol...\

Overall, it was an alright anime, thought the setting and plot would be a little more interesting when I first started this show. 6/10.

Dude. I. AM. SHOOK.

Crazy good final episode and insane season (despite the animation flaws and cringy English). 10/10.

By about 12 eps in I had decided that this was already one of my favourite anime all time XD

Bro I cannot believe Kunigami didn't make it through. The way they hyped it up for the last person to enter, only for it to be this Shidou guy. Bruhhh. I feel like an anime character just died!!

Surely the whole "you'll never be allowed to play for Japan" rule was just a trick to up the stakes. It'd be a waste of talent for only one of these 300 to be eligible, tbh.

I've got so many things to comment on. Maybe I'll have to make a vid about this haha.

Good ending and great season 1
I love Blue lock but the only thing i kinda get annoyed is the action on the pitch doesn't seem a whole lot like haikyuu and yea i know different sport
1 got not many actions while football its different... I'm just bit eh about the animation on the pitch i dont have an issue with the use of cg and that but hopefully season 2 can be a lot better and i'm sure the movie is going to be high quality i hope 
nonetheless i enjoyed blue lock and excited for season 2 cba waiting though so might as well pick up on the manga

Great conclusion for the first season. Of course the world top 5 were just superior in every possible way. Isagi and thr rest simply stood no chance, but this was the best possible experience Ego could've given them. Rin was the only one being frustrated over the lost match, which is another reason why he's still ahead of Isagi.

Since there was so much money involved getting the world top 5 to play against the Blue Lock teams, I had a feeling some of the bigwigs would upset. Canceling the Blue Lock project on the other hand was nothing I expected. Ego saying that he wants to show results in a big match initially made me wonder what team the Blue Lock boys would play.

The scene after where Rin served as an English tutor was just too funny, especially when Bachira was triggering him even more :D

The third selection has finally begun. I was so curious about who actually made it, not only from the old team Z, but also from all the stronger players we've seen Isagi go up against. There were lots of familiar as well as new faces of people we've never seen before. Kunigami not being on any team was quite shocking and didn't feel right to me. Why do I feel that we'll see him again?

So 3 weeks until the Blue Lock selection will play against japans under-20s team. I can't even imagine how crazy this match will be.

I had so much fun with Blue Lock over the last 6 months. This was exactly the type of sports anime I was waiting for and it kinda awakened something inside of me, which I thought I had lost a long time ago. The desire to play football again which is definitely mind-blowing to me.

Anyways, I'm super pumped for what's to come in the second season. 8bit did a great job with the animation, especially in key moments and we don't have to talk about the incredible job all of the voice actors did. Thanks for such enjoyable ride so far. Until then.

the season finale has me even more excited for season 2. it was definitely frustrating for them to lose to the world top five, but it was also realistic and needed so that they could understand they're nowhere near as good as they have to be.

ofc people want to shut down the program, but the blue lock team will for sure beat the japan u-20 team and show them the results they want in season 2.

lots of new characters(and pretty ones too, omg) that im looking forward to meeting and learning more about next season. assuming all 35 won't be able to be on the team, im hoping isagi and the others are able to make the team. especially rin, because i think it'll be essential growth for his character to play against his older brother.

anyway im just really hyped for the next season. i hope it comes soon!!

I can only say that this anime with its first season made me realize the beauty of sports in general, so this anime for me is one of the best sports animes, if not the best.

I loved this episode, to see how the world quintet completely humiliated Rin and Isagi's team, and above all this humiliation showed us an emotion that we never saw from Rin, which is despair, frustration and anger

Seeing so many players classified for the sub-20 phase aroused a great interest in me to know the qualities of each of the new players that we have seen, but that will be seen in the next and already confirmed second season.

It was an honor to see this great series week by week, I am going to wait very desperately for the second season

Thank you for so many joys, Season 1 of Blue Lock

Oml the Engrish leveled up another level with Loki's VA joining the fray. The "if you open your legs up easily, people will think you're a loose guy" line cracks me up. Seeing Rin getting pissed off at Bachira and the other team members' antics and idiocy was pretty funny too. And Shidouuuu my boy! Didn't expect him to be voiced by my favorite VA (Yuuichi Nakamura) but I definitely ain't complaining. Sad Kunigami didn't pass the second selection - other than Bachira, he was my favorite. I liked his personality and aspiration even though some may find him and/or his dream childish and boring.

Overall, gonna give this show a 7.5/10. Very fun watch. Didn't like most of the characters in the beginning, but the show as well as the characters' chemistries/dynamics picked up during the Team Z vs. Team V match. The second selection arc was great, especially with the thrilling game format, but it definitely could've been much more enjoyable if only the animation didn't drastically drop in quality. To top it all off, the edginess and cringe dialogue makes the show all the more amusing to watch. Love how this show doesn't take itself so seriously. Could've been an easy 8/10 anime for me if only the animation was better. Fingers crossed that next season's animation would improve drastically, especially for the upcoming big match. Pleasantly surprised Nagi's spinoff is also getting animated - into a movie, no less - but I'm definitely looking forward to it as well as the second season!

Interesting final with Ego burning up his speech toward those diamond in rough about another big match awaiting their asses, which honestly understandable since BL project also under the pressure to being closed up by the big boss. A bit sad with Kunigami, not surprise with Raichi tho. Since i saw him on the latest manga cover, so no way he's not passing. But why the monk dude also passed the selection? Dang what a twist. So i can't wait to see more of those new guys getting a screen time, and the producers grant it by another season already. Guess this is a big W result for BL enjoyer, and many more announcement making this whole week actually feels like a grand bliss. So yeah, see you around at the next season!

The hypest (is this even a word) anime this season. While watching this I found myself shouting and clapping from all the excitement. I loved the atmosphere and the characters, everyone of which could be protagonists of their own. The designs were fire too. How they used the aura to indicate someone devouring someone else was a really nice addiction. I especially loved Ego's speeches about luck and talent, they can be applied anywhere, not only soccer. And the music was really nice too, really set the mood. I've listened to the full version of the second opening countless times. The one thing that could be improved is the animation. But to me the visuals were still satisfactory.
Post anime depression hit me as I finished this episode. But we've got season 2 and episode Nagi movie coming up, so we've got something to look forward to!

I thought the selection process were streched as hell, 2nd half made it just a bit better.
