Well well well, What a rollercoaster of inconsistency this season has been. As someone who was a fan of the first season, It might be no exaggeration to say that I was anticipating alot from this season (Especially after how much hype the manga readers linked it to).

But sad to say that they did not deliver completely, Now let me be clear first. While the season did not live up to expectations, It certainly wasn't all bad. It had it's moments, Highlights but for the most part, It was unsatisfactory.

The final 2 episodes on their own are the best of this season and even the last, They're too damn good. That's how much I liked em. If it weren't for those episodes then I'd call this entire season a wasted opportunity but thankfully they did those episodes justice atleast.

Let's start with the good : Art was on point and even much much better than the first season. Colour schemes looked really dynamic. Osts were absolutely fire and utilized very well and the whole atmosphere of the stadium and the big match was nailed atleast.

Now let's talk about the jarring issue: Animation lol. The beginning couple of episodes were a mangled mess, That led to the entire Frame lock or PowerPoint meme situation. The episodes got better a little but only the key moments were somewhat good and given priority. The final couple of episodes were great and they made me feel the thrill and awe that the manga did but it made me realize that on one hand, They adapted the final episodes right, They fumbled the rest of the episodes really bad.

Although I'm a manga reader and I really really love Blue lock, I hope that for season 3 the studio is given ample time and staff to work and produce a better and much more complete final product. Trust me when I say this, The manga is just in a different league compared to the anime. The contrast is that big between the two lol...

If the entire season was the same quality as the final two episodes then Blue lock would've potentially been the best anime of 2024 even, Just goes to show how badly they messed up one of the best selling manga of recent years.

I enjoyed it and some moments were great but as a whole, It could've been way better.

As a Blue lock fan, I hope the next season is better :(
