Gekijô-ban Blue Lock -Episode Nagi-

Is this even a movie? It feels like a season one recap but from a different point of view. We have pretty much seen everything from this movie except the first few minutes where they showed Nagi and Reo's backstory. Other than that, there was nothing interesting about this movie.

The animation was really mid. If anything, it was worse than the anime. Some shots had weird character proportions and it felt like the studio rushed this movie. Wait, did they even rush it? Cause they reused a lot of clips from season one, lmao. The only thing that carried this movie was the soundtrack. It was amazing.

I don't know if it's just the plot, or the movie as a whole, but Nagi being the main star of this movie failed to keep me engaged. I understand that he is just a lazy guy but it makes this whole movie so boring. Even if we were shown with another side of him and his emotions for Reo, I still didn't feel much for him.

My only question is only why is this even made into a movie? It could've been a short episode to show Nagi and Reo's backstory, because the rest is just a short recap of season one. Who agreed to make this movie anyways?

As a Blue Lock fan, I want to say that it's better to not watch this movie. Please save your money.

"Blue lock : The Movie Episode : Nagi" is a cinematic masterpiece. It tells the full story of the anime in Nagis point of view in the best way possible and delves into the charecter of Nagi soo much. And the ending and end credits scene was perfect. I loved the whole "Isagi is the villain and Nagi is the hero" style of the story, and the score of the film was perfect. The theatre experience made the movie even better. My only complaint was that it went thru the matches a little too fast, but that isn't really a complaint. Overall, the movie captured the story of the original anime and manga and shot it perfectly. Must recommend for anime, football lovers and to the people who watched the anime or read the manga.

This film is supposed spinning off from Blue Lock, which is in the shonen literary magna genre. It geared towards younger readers, emphasized supposed idea of friendship, that cover sport/jock themed situations.

But this film has so much homoerotic tensions (characters' partial nudity, hyped up illustrated bodies, etc.) which is not a bad thing. It's just a little awkward in western perspectives but the story is tight.

Animation is just great to watch, making soccer interesting. The story of Reo and Nagi, as they challenge their "friendship" through soccer tournaments. They finds themselves always questioning their commitment towards each other.

Please watch only if you are supportive of Anime (and all of its intentional genres). Soundtrack is good with optical effects plumus voice talent is excellent with occasionally comedic jokes. Best in Japanese with English subtitles!

As a blue lock fan i was really looking forward to watch the movie. I think it wasnt bad as most of the review said but it wasnt a masterpiece either. I wont really recommend watching this before The blue lock tv series because (as i expected) they just recapped and took out a lot of thing. The tv show itself is better than the movie but it still worths to watch the movie.

Now to the movie: i found the background music kinda weird, there wasnt any plot twist, as i mentioned its more like a recap. It doesnt contains really flashy things and wont get you addicted to. Its just a slow movie for people to rewatch the tv show without actually spending 48 hours on it.

But i liked it:)
