It's nothing too crazy. It's a decent first episode.

I'm a manga reader and I had already seen snippets of this season's subpar animation quality in some episodes so yeah...

The new opening is aight. Liked S1's way more. I like the new opening's blurry almost water colour like effects. This opening is totally focused on Rin.

Also did they just casually spoil the starting 11 for the Blue Lock vs U20 match in the starting scene where Ego got the call? I don't remember seeing that in the manga.

We are finally introduced to Shidou the silly. And Karasu, my glorious king is finally getting his screentime. The top 6 are here.

Pretty mellow 1st episode.

Chill outro

Itoshi Rin has a nightmare. 35 out of 300 remain. Match against U-20 is in 3 weeks. Ego Jinpachi chooses 6 out of them, and Itoshi Rin and Nagi Seishiro are among them. The rest 29 will get only one chance to get selected, nothing short of tryouts. The runner up after the 6 he chose is Bachira Meguru.

Isagi Yoichi chose to team with Rin. Reo chose to team with Nagi.

I promise I'm not trying to be contrarian, but I genuinely don't see what everyone else is talking about. This looks so much better than the first season, there's way more detail and style. Am I stupid?

Stayed back and not watched the 2nd season of Blue Lock for a bit because of all the powerpoint animation allegation lol

So the 2nd season started where the 1st season left off, coming from the Blue Lock preliminary selection tournaments. Isagi is nowhere near the top 6 spot of the best players in Blue Lock, much less the number 1 spot. Rin is probably barely even aware of Isagi's existence!

I swear, coming from the insanity that is the Blue Lock manga, there were several eliminated characters that I completely forgot about, as if they never were here to begin with. Other than that, it's genuinely SHOCKING how different the status quo is around here. To think that Isagi used to skulk about and worry about how to make a good impression, amongst other things. Lol. The contrast is mind-boggling.

Well, that being said this is a good re-introduction to the Blue Lock cast and the looming match that'd put the Blue Lock's competency to test against the National Japanese team.

Awesome visuals on the OP and ED, particularly on the OP, as always, the hype for the U20 match is nicely conveyed by the OP with a more relaxed melodic note on the ED. Can't wait to see the Itoshi brothers match in the anime!
