| I wonder what they were thinking while making this ppt - "Add enough green fart and they probably won't notice." |
 |
| bruh the cgi effects was a overkill in this ep |
deep fried lettuce   ^i snitched this from a dude's forum signature^  |
| Y'all thought this was a soccer anime? SIKE, think again At the beginning of the ep i thought i was about to eat my words from the last ep's forum, but realistically no. I'm here for the drama and cool visuals (and 🏳️🌈) and that i'm being served. Is it a powerpoint presentation? For the most part, yes, and a very well done one. Chigiri's little play was really cool i gotta say. And the pink tips black eyeliner dude's first goal was epic, though i did spoil myself a few chapters after the first episode. I get a sense that soccer is difficult to animate and still look soccer-ish. And the manga itself is filled with monologue, so i'd say that the team's animation/production choices are kind of expected. Or maybe i'm just talking out of my elbow because i watched this while i was really tired, and i already spoiled this game so it lost that DRAMATIC factor that pulled me in in the first place so i got bored. Who knows lmao the ""egoists"" run the show |

| Im not too keen about animation but they literally didn’t animate anything on the matches. Idk why they made it a powerpoint slideshow when even an average animation could’ve been ok to say the least. This is disappointing man , Blue Lock was one of my favorite and 8bit decided to put it in the bin. |
| Isagi was such a fodder in this episode it pissed me tf off |
| good episode fun time |
  |
| here we go. straight into the action!! highlights were Shidou's and Rin's goals Isagi is really gonna have to stand out from here. I reckon he'll be the only person who can figure out how to work with those two / or make them function together. and that's why he'll make the 11 next ep should be good as I predict a 5-4 scoreline either way. need my boy to show off!! even if the CGI is aids at time, the visual and sound effects easily make up for it |

@LightRobot couldn't have been more right my guy, the animatiion looks the same as s1 but they decided to make the characters design more crisp so its way more noticable when the lacking scenes come. blue lock "fans" really hopping on the hate train lmao.
| @TuDoR_k agree. it looks the same as the second selection in S1 but the effects are better now |
|
| Tons of visual effects to mask the little-to-no animation the match had. Well, that's sad. As for the episode, Chigiri's scene and subsequent assistance were very cool. Karasu-Ninja moments were cringe asf tho. |
| I don't know what to think about the animation. Being a soccer anime, there should be a lot of movement, but for the most part, it feels like PNGs with a colorful aura around them. In some cases, it looks okay, like Shidou's scene, but that doesn't make it great, and then there's the horrible CGI. The story, on the other hand, is something else, and it's the reason I'm still watching it. Now, Isagi is in danger of not being a starter for the match against the U-20 team. He needs to find a way to coexist with Shidou and Rin, but at the same time, overshadow them in order to stand out and secure his spot. It seems like Chirigi's actions have given him an idea. |

| Wowww that was certainly something. You know a series has a stronghold over you when you can say you enjoyed that ep xD It’s such a letdown seeing this level of animation for a series as popular as this. Anime-onlies, while you’re watching this, just have the manga in a different tab to compare. I was offended by the Rin goal the most tbh. If Isagi didn’t give his little monologue no one would know that Rin used Shidou as a decoy. It feels like some visual novel or something. I honestly don’t remember how Isagi gets out of this pickle, so I’m eager to see that. The additional time was funny as well. |

| welp i can't say it looks good but can say that i don't hate it too much, i guess having good music and voice acting makes the experience bearable. still a shame to see one of the best new gen arcs get an adaptation like this, who even let 8bit cook bru. glad nanase and hiori are here though and shidou and chigiri are going crazy. |
 |
| Let's go Isagiiiiiiii |
| Excited to see how Isagi will adapt in the upcoming episode!! |
| always 0 animation for a football anime... Just slide of image and a shoot... just follow for see the "story" but we don't see football, that's sad |
| Cutie-pie Chigiri always shines in the most unexpected ways while Rin is the solo outstanding warrior that shocks everyone with just simple moves, but somehow whenever Isagi realizes something that he has to do, it usually gives me goosebumps. He's that unknown factor in the Blue Lock world that surprises us the most so I'm really looking forward how he's going to surpass this ordeal. |
| The animation is not doing the anime any favours. What the hell happened to the budget of this anime? I'm honestly disappointed since this is one of the most exciting arcs in the manga so it sucks that the anime is getting this treatment. |

| Targeting the weakest is a good plan! Well, he thinks he has a piece of the puzzle to win! kekeke |
| Terrible slideshow, not even worth watching |
