| 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 |
