Preliminary (17/24 eps)
First of all,
The people saying this isn't a good anime by any standards and deeming it unworthy of being recommended , i would love to know what according to you ''Anime lovers'' defines a good anime?
If it's a good plot (a strong one at that) , loveable characters , good character development , amazing animation , good pacing and you still don't like but (let me say it) HATE blue lock , there's something wrong with your taste.
From the moment Isagi and his team lost the match in episode 1 , I was hooked , completely . And then the ending (OMG!) , it was nothing short of iconic and set the standard of what the anime has to offer.
It was a decent if not a spectacular ending to a pilot episode. After that episode , there had been so many matches , all of them being intense . And when I say intense , I mean it . The characters are literally trying their best to win , to advance , to fulfil their lifelong dream , to make the ones they love happy and lastly to be happy themselves and have fun playing soccer .
The character development is amazing . Every once in a while , you get to see a character's backstory , be it a minor one or a major one.
You get to know each and every character's reason of playing soccer , how it makes them feel completely , allows them to have fun and the source of all their passion. Their passion is seen throughout , by how hard they try to evolve constantly to become better . hone their skills . and are not afraid to match with stronger opponents. The characters connect with their teammates , though it takes time .
The pacing is superb . From the 1st episode , the anime has been interesting and soo addicting . After a episodes ends , it's literally impossible to wait a whole other week . That's just how addictive it's. Not a single moment has been boring so far , because this anime literally progresses at breakneck speed.
The animation is amazing and especially those shots where you see the characters' demonic version , mad to win and crush their opponents. Their eyes literally demonic and the haunting music that accompanies , it just drowns you into the scene and you feel the energy the characters are feeling seeping through you too.
During a match , many a times situations get grim. Isagi's team is on the brink of losing and the situation gets so intense when the characters start breaking down......and then they EVOLVE.
You also see the losing team's members reactions after losing a match . Their dream shattered of ever being to able to play soccer again , and their hauntingly devastated expressions keep reminding you of the grim fate that players will face if they lose.
Overall , I love this anime very much . Its a straight 10 . Would recommend to everyone.
And people who don't like it , doesn't matter , cuz you're all in the minority , so there.
