As a football enthusiast, I disagree with Blue Lock's approach to football and its willingness to turn the conventional notion of football on its head. What Blue Lock purposes will NEVER work in the world of football. It does, however, present an interesting take, ig.

I really like the pacing so far. The explanation of the admission test was neat. But I hope this 1st selection really gives us more with our cast. We have a lot of development to do

It was a really good episode, even though we didn't see any plays. They do be starting at the bottom though, will be fun to see them move up the ranks, and it's interesting to see how they get treated depending on their skill level. That concept of the monster hidden within them really is something, can't wait to see if and how they'll further develop that. It was also lit to see how Itoshi got fired up after hearing that speech from the Blue Lock representative. With the build-up at the end, I'm eager to see how the match will go!

Their career will be ruined? I think I have to go back and re-watch that part of episode 1 where ego explains everything

Can't feel too bad for Kira though, he is on his way to nationals, and he didn't seem to care for this blue lock thing anyway other than proving them wrong and showing that teamwork was important or something like that

So, Kira wasn't the top player, but the best in their group? Too bad he didn't know. It may have dropped he's ego a few pegs.

Much more character get to introduced and the new selection has been declare ahead. Not much action this time cause the duration positively care more on such an explanation. Expect to get more pumped up next, but very well. So its a 'monster', eh? Pairing looks good enough for them, but let's see the real deal of em at the next episode. Cheers!

I lowkey feel sorry for Kira. Imagine getting your career terminated and having to hear such bullshit afterwards. Anyways, I hope he returns at some point in the future... and as an antagonist, if possible.

And as for Bachira's "monster"... that's just early schizophrenia dude lol.

OK episode, overall. By the way, is that old dude from the JFA supposed to be a Blatter parody? Because I felt like throwing dollars at him.

3.5/5

What a follow up to the premiere. The animation seem to have gotten even better especially with those expressions and eyes. So it looks like there is going to be a team v team battles instead of just some elaborate individual survival game levels. The dynamic of our team Z will be in full display next episode, I suppose. We got introduced to new characters as well and poor Kira got axed. Have this nagging feeling that he might be back but we'll see. Looking forward to the next episode

Next episode we'll get to see an 11v11 between team X and Z. I get the feeling that everything is super high stakes no matter what you do in blue lock. The series itself is just super intense with its art style and characters. But none the less, its very enjoyable.

Obviously I loved it since it had a lot of Bachira in it x) Just a perfect marriage of great character design and personality with a perfectly fitting voice actor. I love watching him play around with the ball and look adorably menacing ♡

Kira scene was a bit weird to me, he's like, making this fucking demon face and then just calmly walks out without a fuss and that's it, it felt so anticlimactic lol. Like, at least slam a door or something idk xD

I thought Kira's expressions were terrible in the manga, but they're even worse in the anime.

Also, the animation and soundtracks are amazing.

Kira looking like a whole villain. He thinks way too highly of himself.

As a manga reader, I'm very impressed with this adaptation.

Definitely felt he would've been made as the final antagonist Isagi has to face off in the manga's final arc. It would've make sense if the author/artist planned to make him become like that.

This episode has showed Kira's true colors and that he has the narcissistic mindset despite his belief that emphasized individualistic plays won't help a football team become the winner. I'm still surprised that most of the manga fans hated Igaguri survived in the beginning trial, saying that he used trickery unlike Kira when in fact, every kid had an equal chance in that penalty area-sized room.

It's official! I'll proclaim "It's Blue Lock Saturday" on every episode discussion.

Regardless of this extreme, over-the-top method of producing the best striker of your country, I can't help but agree Anri (the only female character who's part of the major supporting cast) saying that the other executives only care about making more money through brand sponsorships and less spending in training potential football players into the most capable striker.

Should've expect that Team Z is the very bottom of all the alphabetical team and yet, when we see Isagi and Igaguri being unable to keep up with their teammates/rivals, it feels unreal that the alphabetical teams above Z are way stronger.

Also I can see why Bachira is a popular character despite him being an odd kid with a "monster searching" obsession. I think I can go onboard with him being one of the interesting characters we see at Blue Lock regardless his unorthodox trickery and martial arts' flexibility he's about to perform in future matches.

8-bit should be proclaimed as one of MAPPA's rivals soon. I've seen some viewers claiming Kira's demonic expression is worse than in the source material, but I've to say they've properly conveyed his "depressing resentment" face. Ego's exposition dump on why Kira one of the most talented and team-oriented striker lost in this game of tag is the highlight of this episode imo. His explanation makes sense at most times though eventually that depends on each player's capabilities in whether in chooing fight or flight scenario.

Since I don't see any news that this adaptation is a split cour, here's hoping the production team know what they're doing because the animation quality along with the football and camerawork movements are still at top notch level that I'm hoping this can happen in the next every episode.

Animation is soo good that I'm afraid studio didn't try to degrad the quality of Animation in 2nd half of Blue Lock!

The episode itself was better than 1st one for me! The dribbling of Ball and other things are soo Smooth & animated soo well, it's just amazing!
