| We've been known that the team favors Nagi over anybody, INCLUDING the MC, so we'll probably never see another person get that Nagi treatment from last episode for the rest of the match ngl. You could see a LITTLE bit of them wanting to give it to Niko in this ep, but yeah, still frames galore. Except for the cgi legs though. Like, the drawings were like the only thing making this show somewhat watchable, but now they are just like any other generic anime drawing, so why even bother. Rin's goal was actually atrocious as well. |

| GO! CHIGIRI-OUJO-SAMA!!! ๐๐ป๐ฅ Damn. I love seeing that man in action. ๐ Slideshow or not, that was perfect. Simping aside, I gotta agree the favouritism is obvious (been so since the movie at least but hey, at least he says it himself: this is cringe - self-aware much?), and indeed- the bodies, man, the bodies! All those delicious closeups and fanservice-bait really made this series stand out, but they really have been gone since the game started. At least. Which only compounds the whole slideshow-with-particle-effects change, with the random occasional CGI legs/feet/shoes (seriously, Blaze Battle, anyone?)... which are like. Why. It's weird as hell. Seriously, one could watch basically this entire season via screencaps alone and they wouldn't be missing... anything, really. And that's on top of pacing that's still abysmal. They stepped on the field at like... three quarters? of ep6, now we're at halftime at the end of ep8. With almost half the season still to go. What even. But hey. At least Shidou foreshadowing, because we really need that reject. Gah. |

| Okay, this one might be the roughest one so far. But, it is what it is. As for the content of the episode, we're genuinely doing so well against the U-20 guys and everyone's getting the time to shine. It's half-time and we're 1-2 in this game. Can't wait for the full time and where they stand in the end. This can change in an instant. Shidou looks so excited and pissed on the bench. I have a feeling that he's going to be the one changing this game in their favor. That's how good he is. |

THE GIANT ARYU JYUBEI! Eat it Itoshi Sae  |
 |
| Let's go lil bro. Enjoying this match a lot so far. And now it's time for Shidou to enter the stage. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| the slideshow continues but ye still hype at least shido sighting he will join the game in the 2nd half |
| In my opinion, the animation has improved really well to this match. I hope they continue the good work. |
My candies:      |
| Look, I love the story I really do; the animation is not up to par with the scenes though. I mean seriously using CGI for a dude walking away? What in the heck, man? Anyways it's cool they saved that goal before the half, but there's a lot more to go. Take a shot everytime someone says "egoist" and you'll be dead before lunch. |
 |
| Chills at the Chigiri scene, haven't heard his OST since first season i think. Also loved the Sae vs Rin scenes. Excited for the upcoming episodes! |
| Honestly, Nagi’s goal last week had me so hyped for today’s episode that I was refreshing the page nonstop until it dropped—and it did not disappoint! The U-20 is finally learning what it means to fear, and Rin is here to show dominance, even getting in his brother’s way like a pro. This time, Blue Lock's defense took the spotlight, and Aryu saving the goal from Sae’s near-perfect shot That was pure GLAM. Now, with the U-20’s "star" forward likely getting replaced by Shidou, things are bound to get even crazier. That substitution is definitely going to shake up the scoreboard! |
 |
| Sae's nutmeg was sickk. I definitely didn't feel as hyped for the goals as I did in last ep. Outside the foot trivela shot from Rin(from that distance) just doesn't impress me bcz of how ridiculous the thought of it is and the animation as well. Gagamaru made a whole camera save in this ep lol. He definitely should've caught that weak ass shot from that one guy before the ball eventually found its way to Sae. Excellent strike from him. That moment definitely made my heart dance xD I just don't understand the uproar about the animation each week. We're more than halfway into the szn, shit ain't magically going to improve. |

| After Nagi's insane goal and Rin's play to get yet another one we got to the realization that 30 minutes have passed somehow. How? Did they forget to animate plays between plays or are they as slow as they seem to be? Regardless, that U-20 striker is probably be replaced on the second half to make Shidou's pressence not obsolete. The best part of the episode was the additional time because how out of nowhere it came with a ridiculous premise. |

| This episode was actually hype! Really enjoyed this one, and I felt like there were more fluid movements in this episode or am I just delusional lol. Loved it when the other blue lock players are put on the spotlight. Rin's goal was amazing, but the build up didn't fell short either. Chigiri stole the show for me. Yep, Sae's had enough, that U-20 striker guy gonna get subbed off for Shidou. Still can't wrap my head around Sae's dribble between Isagi and Bachira though, what the hell was that? |

| The animation is shit but it's really fun to watch as i'm not a manga reader, shame this season got this treatement |
| I had a blast, loved this episode sm!! The additional time tho lmao |
| solid ep. as per usual some disappointing animation (like Chigiri's running) but I still enjoyed it! was really surprised Rin scored so soon my highlight might actually be Sae calling Rin "little brother" which was sick come on out Shidou!! |
 |
| The sibling rivalry between Rin and Sae is getting more intense with both of them scoring a goal so far. Blue Lock goes into halftime with a 2-1 lead thanks to two key saves by their goalie and Aryu's Glam power(OSHA!!!). It looks like Japan's U-20 squad is going to unleash their uncontrollable beast Shidou in the second half. |
 |
| Good episode nice tension |
  |
| i DID not expect that goal line clearance by the long hair at the end. Good stuff. |
| fucking brilliant save from aryu there. this is still hype with this level of animation, just imagine how much better it could've been. sae brothers both cooked tbf. |
 |
| oh my god that was so hypeeee! everyone got their moment to shine! |
| I'm loving it, but I miss Gugu's crazy plays/goals. It's time to let crazy pink out of his cage. |
| The effort of the defense Blue Lock put there must be getting more appreciation, more importantly from the clam dude and Niko boy, i like their shine here. Tho i am sure Sae only created those half-baked cross just to cut-off those lousy striker out of the field to let Shidou in. That's where everything gonna be interesting for party, which one gets better in the end. Blue Lock side also have an impactful sub as well, like King of Curse for example. So yeah, one more week to wait for this meh soccer show that i always set aside free time no matter what |

| It's fun to watch but I can't help but visualize how good this season would've looked with proper scheduling. Guess we'll never know. :( |
 |
| This was the first time i skipped some minutes of the episode. Did not regret it. 10/10 peak fiction. |
| “Do what feels right in your heart. You will be criticized either way.” (Eleanor Roosevelt) |
| still solid episode and rreally fantastic !! |
| To be fair Blue Lock had time to study the U20 team while the U20 had no idea who they were and what they can do |
