Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (14/24 eps)
Blue Lock is a football anime about a bunch of good looking boys trying to become the best striker while improving in the most egocentric way possible. There would be no problem with this approach if it weren't for the fact that football is a TEAM game! Seriously, much of the strategies or technical aspect of it are diminished in order to support this narrative of selfish evolution. Rather than playing football in the field as a whole, it become an ego-only battle between players.

Oh yeah the characters... despite being an anime about self growth, there is little to no personal character development. They only grow in the sense that they become better players. They are all the same except for the differences in the abilities that each one has.

Apart from that, the animation is really good and quite astonishing at times. The soundtrack is ok and the show its entertainment to watch as long as you don't mind going through dull dialogue and bland characters.
