The Assassin and the Ninja

I mean cool visuals for sure. But there does not seem to be any development in the characters or way of depicting the story. Whilst you can somewhat expect that they were going to continue the second season without changing much from the first, I find it somewhat dissapointing. I am not as invested in these new world class level character as I was in the old hierarchy of friends and foes of the first season. Maybe this will pick up as we go further into the season. I will still give it a shot as the first season was very good over all. So all in all let us hope the story just starts off unfamiliar and will form itself into something we will all come to love in the end.

Do they really watch these before sending them out? Who gives the green light that the animation is ready?

I thought CGI was just for top view in this and I was okay with that....a slide show? Please....

It just doesn't make sense for blue lock to take this long of a break just to come back to this. The manga is top tier so they should at least work a little harder. One piece animated episodes for 25 years and they were never this bad. These guys get a break for over a year and they can't make two running frames without having some cgi elements to it. No wonder people have rated this below a 7 when in the manga this would be a 8.5 - 9. I could swear captain Tsubasa was animated better than this.

I don't know what's going on, but the animation has taken a massive dip in quality this episode compared to previous seasons.

Just because characters are well drawn does not mean they are well animated.

There's no movement from any of the characters. Their limbs are fixed while they float around on the screen. Occasionally it's fine because I get it, animation time constraints and all, but this is throughout the ENTIRE episode.

Pretty sad. This episode saw the introduction of the cream of the crop talents at Blue Lock and we get a slideshow episode.

This adaptation shouldn't have aired. Better to completely cancel and delay the entire show until they faithfully adapt it properly. It's a shame.

If the rest of the season plays out like this episode, we're heading for a disaster Season 2.

Blue Lock Anime:

Despite being the best-selling manga, is being treated poorly. The animation is literally trash and needs at least 10 times improvement. Even weekly anime have much better animation than this. The quality needs to be significantly improved to do justice to the original manga. Fans have high expectations from such a popular series, and it's disappointing to see it fall short. The animation quality should reflect the intensity and excitement that the manga delivers. An improvement would greatly enhance the viewing experience and honor the story's potential.

It's really a good anime. Even one of my favorite anime. But they are treating this anime very poorly.

Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 2 is a major letdown, especially when it comes to the animation quality. It feels like the visuals took a huge dip, looking almost like a low-quality PNG image at times. The fluidity and intensity that made the first season so captivating are missing here. Instead of the dynamic, fast-paced animation that fans love, we get stiff movements and poorly rendered scenes that break the immersion.

It's disappointing to see such a drop in quality for a series that relies heavily on high-energy action and detailed character expressions. This episode could have been a highlight of the season, but instead, it feels like a rushed job that fails to live up to expectations.

Overall, this episode missed the mark, making it hard to stay engaged with the story. Here's hoping the animation picks up in the next episodes.
