    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.

    Best Sports Anime I've Seen!

    Honestly I never comment or evaluate a show but watching Blue Lock has pushed me to it. It's one of the best sports anime out there!

    Being a fan of football and growing up watching the endless fields of Captain Tsubasa... Blue Lock is another level and just shows how good football can be in a anime! The characters are messed up egotistical selfish maniacs with the only goal is to score, only to show they're the best striker in Japan!

    The story is hell of entertaining with players with crazy technique and a really cool concept!

    I may be hyperbolic, but this is just to show how much I love it!

    Never though a sports show could be this good

    So, I recently made a review on Haikyu. I said you can't expect much from a sports anime. I officially apologize. I was wrong because I have watched Blue Lock. People who watched the show must be thinking why I gave it a 9 due to the second season. Yeah, the animation was... questionable but I couldn't even look away from the screen. Blue Lock season 1 had great animation, character development, and great moments overall. Then we head to Blue Lock season 2. It was criticized for its PowerPoint like animation. And yeah, I definitely see it. It is far off from what season one's animation was, but it gets better through the season. But no matter how you put it. Every moment of this show keeps you on your toes. The characters are likeable and different. Although it may not be real soccer that's not what you're looking for in this. You're looking for pure excitement and this is what this show gives you. I would honestly give this a ten if it wasn't for seasons 2 animation problems. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes anime or even sports. This is what people should call peak.

    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.

    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.
