This episode was actually hype! Really enjoyed this one, and I felt like there were more fluid movements in this episode or am I just delusional lol.

Loved it when the other blue lock players are put on the spotlight. Rin's goal was amazing, but the build up didn't fell short either. Chigiri stole the show for me.

Yep, Sae's had enough, that U-20 striker guy gonna get subbed off for Shidou.

Still can't wrap my head around Sae's dribble between Isagi and Bachira though, what the hell was that?

solid ep. as per usual some disappointing animation (like Chigiri's running) but I still enjoyed it!

was really surprised Rin scored so soon

my highlight might actually be Sae calling Rin "little brother" which was sick

come on out Shidou!!

The sibling rivalry between Rin and Sae is getting more intense with both of them scoring a goal so far. Blue Lock goes into halftime with a 2-1 lead thanks to two key saves by their goalie and Aryu's Glam power(OSHA!!!). It looks like Japan's U-20 squad is going to unleash their uncontrollable beast Shidou in the second half.

THE OST FROM WHEN RIN AND SAE STARTED FIGHTING UP UNTIL LIKE NIKO'S MOMENT WAS SO GOOD!!!! SHIT GOT ME SMILING AND HYPED UP SO HARD ITS CRAZY

Yeah, I honestly don't even care about the animation atp, yall are just a bunch of haters. Sure it's bad but if you're still watching at episode 8 just to complain abt the animation then just go watch something else. I'm enjoying the hell out of this regardless

This sad excuse of an anime is making Seven Deadly Sins look good in comparison. Do yourself a favor and just read the manga, its a million times better than whatever 8bit Studios cooked up here, worst anime adaptation of the year.

It’s funny cos I’m still enjoying it. I’d enjoy it alot more if the layout of the show was meant to be like this. If they did this from season 1 and had it almost like an adapted manga thing I’d not hate it. But because we’re all aware that it’s actually just cos they couldn’t give a fuck about their fanbase or animators working conditions that just almost wanna boycott it. But I love the damn story and characters and I’m obsessed with football. Is what it is another piss poor animated episode but can’t say I hate it cos I don’t.

The effort of the defense Blue Lock put there must be getting more appreciation, more importantly from the clam dude and Niko boy, i like their shine here. Tho i am sure Sae only created those half-baked cross just to cut-off those lousy striker out of the field to let Shidou in. That's where everything gonna be interesting for party, which one gets better in the end. Blue Lock side also have an impactful sub as well, like King of Curse for example. So yeah, one more week to wait for this meh soccer show that i always set aside free time no matter what

The final confrontation between the brothers: Sae and Rin. While Rin is determined, willing to score in an efficient way, gifted with extraordinary techniques and resistance, Sae is still better and that was possible to be noticed.

Blue Lock team has a huge chance for the win, Japan U-20 no longer holds the supremacy! Nagi, Karasu, Isagi and Rin are the top players from the team.

I have to admit it as well, you’re right. Ego told them how Japan U-20 looks like and what kind of things could they encounter, but U-20 knew nothing about Blue Lock and they were too confident that they’ll definitely win the match with no difficulties.

The animation is terrible. It's just a bunch of pictures moving. The capcut effects and trash C.G.I make it even worse. Production I.G should take over this project and give it justice like they did to kuroko's basketball and Haiykuu. I would recommend you read the manga instead. This anime is not worth it.

2-1 in favor of Blue Lock. 🔥

▫Although it seems that in the second half, Ryusei will come in to make his mess.

Interesting contrast of themes going on between the Itoshi brothers: Calm vs. intense. Experienced vs. hunger and etc.

god the match is just so exciting, it's easy to get taken away with the eps, but still pretty distracting how bad it looks at times. Can't help but feel slighted and how much more hype this season could've been if it looked as good as it deserved to.

Probably the weakest extra time of the season for me.

I had absolutely no idea of what was happening during Sae's scenes due to the lack of proper animation in his plays. Like seriously, what in hell did he do to surpass Isagi and Bachira in that last play??

Anyways, still a somewhat hype episode if I'm honest. Mainly because it's impossible for me not to feel excited when it comes to football.
Aryuu's sudden save was so glam, by the way.

I love how this far into the season the studio still chose to animate in png style as if they did not receive enough complaints, but this time it's sibling fights in png. Major disappointment.

We've been known that the team favors Nagi over anybody, INCLUDING the MC, so we'll probably never see another person get that Nagi treatment from last episode for the rest of the match ngl. You could see a LITTLE bit of them wanting to give it to Niko in this ep, but yeah, still frames galore. Except for the cgi legs though.

Like, the drawings were like the only thing making this show somewhat watchable, but now they are just like any other generic anime drawing, so why even bother. Rin's goal was actually atrocious as well.
@IzanaSolos This was the first episode where the quality of the animation actually became noticeable for me to really care.

But as you said it's 2-1 and we see where it goes from here
