Preliminary (16/24 eps)
PROS:
+ great animation, OST, direction
+ exciting soccer battle sequences will get you pumped up
+ fast paced, suspenseful, compelling

NEUTRAL:
~ total sausagefest/no waifus

CONS:
- predictable, formulaic plot
- literally every character is an expy
- lame, angsty dialogue and melodramatic internal monologues detract from action sequences


RECOMMENDED... with some caveats

Blue Lock, or BL (not to be confused with "boys love," though the show is almost as gay), is not a masterpiece, but it's a fast-paced, punchy watch that will scratch your shonen itch. If you want pure shonen energy directed right into your veins, you'll like this show. But you might be disappointed if you're expecting clever twists, fresh characters or any spice whatsoever because BL is as vanilla as they come.
