Blue Lock as a concept is a failure. Since this anime has had a lot of hype, I was interested in watching it to see if the anime world has finally adapted a football anime to the same quality as Haikyuu or Kuroko in the sports genre. I was deeply mistaken. The show deviates from football to the idea of "blue lock", rather than applying basic football knowledge and conceptualizing a great plot: the show is too busy making it about being the "best striker." I'm an avid football fan; any football person would know by watching the first episode that the show is not actually about football. Sadly, the sport I'm deeply fond of is turned into this mess of a show. I guess the animation is good but animation can't save a horrible plot lol.
If this is your first time trying to see what football is in the form of an anime, please avoid this.
