Initially I wasn't going to watch season 2 (let alone write a review on mal about it), but after seeing all the complaints and memes on Tiktok I couldn't not watch it.
Lets get one thing straight from the beginning; my opinion isn't anything new. The animation is practically non existent. It's like the team spent all their budget on the artwork and forgot about the animation. Yeah sure, there's some cool effects here and there but it does not save it at all. It's like when you watch one of those really bad edits where the creator goes overkill on the effects, but the edit is still god awful. Blue Lock S2 is like that just with better quality and a team behind it. They have some idea though that not every scene can be a still frame with a moving mouth and that the characters have to run around on the field sometimes. So what do they do? Nah not animate it! Use CGI! and my god it looks horrible. I can't help but cackle whenever I see these Roblox looking characters run across the field.
The story? Still the same thing as last season but the animation would put most people off. I don't see a lot of people who are captivated by sports anime for the sports itself, just the banger animations otherwise we'd be with the bros watching the NBA instead.
Overall, PowerPoints my science teacher makes have more movement to them. Is this season worth watching if you didn't like season 1? no. Is this season worth watching if you loved season 1? no. Is this season worth watching if you want something to laugh at? probably, but there are better things to do with your time. Also, to all studios present and emerging please take this as a learning opportunity to not be like the Blue Lock team.
