    The antithesis of the power of friendship and teamwork; Egoism is the way

    Despite defying the core concepts of friendship, teamwork and selflessness shown in the majority of sports animanga, Blue lock focus on the importance of cultivating ego as the main engine in the development of the potential of an athlete is impressive.

    Boasting a wide array of unique and unforgettable characters, impressive visuals despite some clunky cgi models, a thrilling atmosphere and a well crafted storyline, where the stakes get higher with every match,this series is going to keep you at the edge of your seat, craving for more.

    Undeniably the best soccer animanga of these last years.

    IDC if you don't like soccer

    This is amazing and not just because I'm a fan of soccer. My friend put me onto this show and he hates soccer, even going so far as to call them "foot fairies". Blue lock adds a refreshing spin onto a relatively bland anime sports genre. Nobody is perfect and we all have our strengths and weaknesses, this show truly grasps that concept and runs with it. The animation is a little rough sometimes but makes up for it with it's badass moments. This show is the definition of epic scenes full of triumph and character building. Each character has a moment of self-reflection and I can appreciate the course Isagi's character goes on. This show has parts which real soccer fans can appreciate while also being appealing for those who may not enjoy soccer. Every character is different an in a uniquely great way.

    Now please do me a favor and watch the show, you wont regret it...

    A Mature Anime.

    I'll be a man and accept this, I cried in some episodes. No other movie or TV show has made me cry, ever. This could be because I felt connected to the characters so much, I could see myself going through their emotions, their passion, their determination and most of all, their choices.

    Each character arc is so well done, you see them grow with each episode, discovering new things about themselves as they improve their soccer skills. This is not just anime, this a journey into the human psych, and the range of emotions present inside it. Each emotions presents a new challenge for personal development, which the characters accept, adapt and overcome to move forward.

    The animation style is well done and music is really good.

    I highly recommend watching this show.

    Something Fresh

    When I watched the first episode I thought "wow this is a refreshing take from all the power of friendship stuff". After the second episode it hit me that this could be one of the most elite sports anime of a generation. The animation and visuals are all there and I have a feeling that the best is yet to come. The ideals are strong as hell and the characters definitely each have a unique flavor of power among them. The best part about it is there is almost no cringey humor forcefully interjected, and it goes a step further in seriousness and sometimes feels like AOT levels of gravity. The stakes are high, and I have a feeling that it's going to get DARK. I'm here for it.

    Full of chills and lessons

    I don't know how this show may turn out . I am watching 5th eposide. But That it feels so good moment gave me chills. I showed what a competition in life looks like and how A victor gains supermacy over losing party. It also showed how it feels to be close, but not close enough.. In short ...don't know what to say...just came after getting chills from that moment

    I am just going to write non sense...i was just here to write the first paragraph.. i know that much only. I have to finish this Quick to go and watch ep 5. And I didn't like how it said , they don't care about Pirate kings . One piece is legendary and no any anime or manga have reached to its league.
