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.

Would have rated it 6/10 if  these lines didn't exist:
"In soccer, the one who scores the most is the greatest "🤡
"Soccer exists for strikers" WTF?💀
Lol why are you acting as if this type of dialogue wasn't prevalent throughout the entire first season?

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!

That engrish was gold, last episode felt like a good wrap up
I love Blue lock's concept of Ego and not teamwork, etc but the dialogues are way too over the top
I thought the selection process were streched as hell, 2nd half made it just a bit better.
Visuals and music was good, overall good and engaging story

Hype!
A little unfortunate they cut out the Shido vs Kunigami match but I suppose they didn't have enough time to put it into the same episode.

Regardless, excited that S2 is in the works! This was easily my favorite anime to come out of 2022 without a doubt.

Damn these guys got out skilled in every aspect the 17-year-old French kid made it seem like Chigiri has been walking all this time not running😂😂. Rin seriously wanted to win I respect him for that. I am lowkey rooting for Rin now not Isagi. Going from such intensity to these guys doing homework is funny🤣🤣. I always get goosebumps when they walk through the door and it freezes. Honestly, Nagi is just amazing as well I love how he was a Neji at first but now he is realising he needs to be Rock Lee 2. Damn Kunigami didn't make it he was a good guy.
Damn, we are VS his older brother OH MY DAYS I CAN JUST TELL NEXT SEASON IS GOING TO SEND SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE. Yeah damn, Isagi really has changed since the beginning of the anime. A lot of the team Z members got left behind I didn't expect that tbh.

The first season of Blue Lock anime has ended. Can't wait for the next kick-off! The U-20 Japan vs Blue Lock eleven. It's my favorite match in the manga so far. I'll give it a 8/10 for this season.

Best episode in the season. We got a lot of the ol characters back incluing the most hated Igaguri (that was so unexpected). Its fun to watch this episode to see how many of your favorite characters got disqualified like Kunigami and Kuon. We got a quick football match of Isagi's squad getting shit on. Thats the last episode of the season and holy shit was it good.

Shidou seems like an important character later on, but what an asshole. That said, realistically being teenager athletes handpicked from across the country, I expected more guys like him in the competition who would cause trouble.

A crusing defeat, but who expected any different? Anyways this episode
Anyways got introduced to a ton of new players as well, blue locks best is assembled right now. Except for Kunigami, who's eviction surprised me.

Anyways this episode served as a great set up into next season.

Overall this season was a 8.5/10 for me, really good with epic moments. Rounded up to 9/10 for MAL scores. Once you understand that this show isn't an actual respresentation of football, you can appreciate it for what it is.

Those who can't should stick to Aoshi or some shit. Funny the football purists refused to drop it since they claim to hate it😂what bozos
