I get the complains obviously but actually find quite ironic how people's brain works when i see people talking about reading the manga as if they're gonna find that amazing animation that they're looking for, like, you're literally watching the manga pages with some basic movements, color, voice acting and soundtrack, and the artstyle is pretty much intact, so it's not like you're going to find a superior product in the manga version, just the same thing but black & white and no sound XD

I feel like all I’m doing is just watching a manga slideshow with color. As an amine only person for this series, I’m disappointed that this is the route they chose to take. A failure of a second season so far

Frame Lock is back again!!
Seriously whoever is the director should be ashamed on himself.
You called this a finished product?

It's a little bit better than episode 2, but still the bar was very low.

Obvi animation isn't at its absolute best, as of rn. But the story is awesome, so I'm not worried for the u-20 match, the animators are cooking.

The green light coming out of Isagi's eyes as he runs past Rin and Shidou to take the final goal was so exaggerated it had me dying.

Are we sure that this is an Anime and not an Animatic? Srsly, most of the episode was motionless.

I'm honestly mad that they decided to fumble the animation in one of the most exciting parts of the manga, and yes, maybe they're leaving the best animation for the U20 match, but this is already turning off a lot of anime-only watchers and disappointing manga readers, and it is also giving the anime a bad reputation as a slide show anime. The hype the blue lock had during the World Cup should've been a clear sign that the next season needed everything they got, but oh well.

I want better animation, this was sort of boring at times. I love what is happening but the still animation doesn't help 🥲.

The additional time was THE BEST! I love how they make some fanservice in these shorties, and they had me screaming now 😍😍

I like Yoichi growth here, manage to surpass the top two monster a bit and stole the last deciding goal. But for sure i prefer the mvp goes to the two mobs from their team, Hiori and Nanase, which lets Yoichi finish the final piece to their victory. Ofc its also goes to Rin and Shidou as well.

Additional time scene starting to annoy me tho....

Yeesh while I’ll give this 5 stars bc I love blue lock I can’t help but NOT talk about the animation man this shit had so many still frames I verbally said out loud “why are there so many still frames!!!?” Like studio 8bit sucks ass when it comes to prioritization for its shows bc ik ppl talk shit about MAPPA but hey at least if they took it in the animation would be looking phenomenal but nah we got 8bit leaving all the work to 1 animator working on 20 different cuts. I just hope U-20 is animated properly man bc this is just so sad considering I’ve been reading blue lock since 2021 like pls 8bit pls😭🙏🏽😭

Isagi’s flow scene was ruined by making it still framed but hey the colors and shit looked kinda cool to me tbh and that one part when Karasu juked out Rin was animated properly like that shit surprised me ong haha but yeah there are too many bad parts that they can’t out weight the good parts

Still the same as before regarding the animation... anyway it was tense with the 4 - 4 score and Yoichi scored the decisive goal, definitely impressive.
