Blue Lock: Episode Nagi

"Nagi" is a bit of a loafer at school. Quite happy to play video games all day only interrupted by the odd nap and food when he absolutely has to. Then he encounters "Reo" - a very wealthy boy with purple hair and purple eyes - who sees in him skills that would make him an excellent addition to their football team. "Nagi" is completely indifferent to this proposal, but his new friend persists and with promises of becoming the best striking partnership the world has ever seen, he manages to induce just the merest hint of fire in "Nagi" - and they become inseparable and unstoppable. This earns them the attention of the Japanese Football Union and both are invited to attended the most competitive football school in the whole nation - the "Blue Lock". It's here that the two - along with a few hundred other aspiring young men - must grow up and learn how to win, lose, play in a team - and this tests their friendship as "Nagi" starts to emerge from the protective and encouraging umbrella of "Reo". Though it's based on a series, this is an enjoyable stand alone film that is quickly paced and written quite poignantly to expose the characters (and us) to some of the difficulties of maturing, making tough choices and getting used to not having everything your own way. At times it's actually quite an emotional animation with plenty to play for and no easy answers.

What i can say. This Anime Movie is clearly a Masterpiece that i wanted to watch. There's no other movies from that genre where i was bored to watch (and trust me, i watched alot). The Movie tells the story of a boy named Seishiro Nagi who is not interested in football at first and is not interessed to everything and is a torment to him. But after that Reo Mikage notices "that something" in him and then Nagi discovers it himself. I don't want to spoil the plot of the film too much, because it is definitely worth watching by yourself. But yes: The script is real gold, it's like a "Slice of Life" from the lives of Nagi and Reo (but it focuses mostly on Nagi). I watched this movie with great pleasure and if a sequel ever comes out I will definitely watch it, because the first part did not disappoint me on any level. My Final Rating 10/10 DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

"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.

Just Got out of a Screening of Blue Lock Episode Nagi.

Every Character can do amazing things, so it's just so boring.

👎 - The Score, the Matches, the Main Character, everything is just so dull. If you want to watch a proper anime Sports Film, Watch Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle👍. It's way better, it has Concepts and Techniques of Play and is way more engaging than this Snoozefest.

⚽ - And What's Point of the The Blue Lock Training Facility? Just to eliminate people round by round? That's it? There's Nothing Special about this Damn Facility. There's no build up, or no Special training to become better, pretty much everyone is already phenomenal, so what's the point?

👎 - The actual matches are boring and not exciting because everyone is doing amazing things.

😴 - And Nagi is such a drag to be around, literally listening to him speak will put you to sleep. Does he want to be a football player or what? He's boring as hell, constantly whining about "This is Such a hassle", "That's Such a hassle". What a Drag.

Overall, an absolute waste of time at the Cinema.
