| The final episode is here and it blew everyone away with it's animation. WHERE WAS IT FOR THE WHOLE SEASON??? (I'm not blaming the animators, it's always the fault of the producers and executives and other big wigs who botch it all. The animators aren't given enough time to cook properly) Also the pacing of this arc in the manga was atrocious. It felt so dragged and slow towards the end. Thank god the pacing was nicely done in the anime. We either get pacing or we either get art/animation. Also the sound effects in this season were extremely good from the crowd's game winning cheers to Rin's licking sounds everything was pretty crisp. Rin's flow state was extremely well animated and his moment where he kind of out plays Sae is so well produced. The music, the monologue, the dream sequence, the 1v1 battle. Isagi's hardwork of matching Rin for the whole match finally paid off. He took 'luck', he took his chance and scored the winning goal for Blue Lock. Although Rin wasn't too happy about it and has officially made Isagi his rival. What pissed me off was Sae not complimenting Rin even one bit. Tbh Isagi's awakening was partially due to Rin piloting the Blue Lock team into performing so well in the 1st half. and Rin did save them from conceding 2 goals and countered Sae and others from U20 on so many different occasions. It's bs to say that Isagi was the one who played the key part. No doubt he had great contribution in the frontlines but still giving all the credit to him is nonsensical. Ego's 2nd phase for blue lock has been teased. The Neo Egoist League is coming babyyy! In my opinion this is where we see the most drastic growth for Isagi by far. Edgy-gami is back from the wild card training. God's Chosen Emperor has been teased. Can't wait to see him in action and his weapon !!! >:) Also just some things I wanted to appreciate about this season (even though there isn't much) are, 1. the OST's, the were a banger 2. The sound effects were pretty good 3. I loved the little details they showcased so well like the bystanders. The girl who came on a date and wasn't much interested but by the end of the match she become enthralled by the game. The kid coming in excited and leaving super happy, probably even becoming inspired to become a striker. The 2 office goers who came for the bets (I think) but thoroughly enjoyed the game. And of course the announcers who had never seen such an exciting match unfold. They properly showed the feeling of a new 'hero' developing from this match or rather Japanese football slowly changing after this match. Overall very weak season other than the final episode and some minor goal scoring moments. I'm praying for them to take a long ass break and properly animate the Neo Egoist League arc properly. They can also re-release the BL11 vs U20 arc as a long 2.5 hr or 3 hr movie with last episode's animation quality. It would do the arc justice. 5/10 for me |

| if you turn off your brain this show is pretty awesome tho i also hated how they try to sprinkle in 3d animation, itd be better if they just drew em all |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| This last match was cool as fuck... the character's backstories, the last play being decided by "luck", Kunigami's reveal.... This 2nd season would have been so much better with good animation. Blue lock is the first sports anime that gets me hooked |
| they really went out for this final episode cant wait for the next season |
 |
| With last two minutes left, both teams are at a draw, 3-3. Rin got super messed up and played solo and then faced off with Sae, only to break out of his leashes, and send the ball flying towards the goal. Isagi finally got a chance to score a goal. Blue Lock wins. In the interviews, Isagi says he’ll lead Japan to win the U20 World Cup 🤣🤣🤣. Rin now considers Isagi as his rival. Ego Jinpachi makes everyone agree with his plans. Kunimiya seems to be a wild card. Who the hell was that last guy with blue flowers? |

| I actually enjoyed this season more than the first season. The whole game was very enjoyable to watch and I never really knew what was going to happen. A lot of tense moments this season. While the animation for this season wasn't the best, I think the story made up for it. That said, the final episode looked pretty damn cool to me; it looked like a movie! Guess they saved the budget for this last episode! Overall, I would give Blue Lock season 2 a 8.5 rating :) |
My Candies:   |
| BEST EPISODE EVER |
| clearly they saved up most of thier budget for this episode. the edgyness was off the chart with this one. happy that isagi was the one who scored the final goal. rin keeps on taking L's. that statement from sae after the match end just broke that poor dude. and all this stuff was just phase 1. apparently real shit is yet to come. i hope they hold on and gather some good budget for 2-3 years and then start making season 3 with 24 episodes. 7/10 overall. it did get watchable and enjoyable at the end so. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
