Eh? I've been seeing a lot of people saying Japan's way of playing this World Cup 2022 is similar to Blue Lock so I gave it a watch (and read) but guess what? It's not similar at all. Nah uh. Not in the slightest.
They go like,
"Omg blue lock is right!" (right with what??)
"Japan must have watched/read blue lock" (I highly doubt that)
"The strategies are similar!" (No dude stop—)
NO. Nuh ah dude are you kidding me?😂As a Japanese, I'm insulted that you compared this anime to my beloved country's footballers.

Strategies — Blue Lock's football strategies are mess and inaccurate. Highly inaccurate. It's like throwing all ideas but failed to explain it or right to say, the author doesn't know what he's talking about. Do he even know football? Don't expect too much game strategies here cuz there's only one or two. Don't also expect football knowledge here cuz you will not learn a thing.
Plot — It's unrealistic with a hint of supernatural. Concept is not that bad, y'know all about strikers but my problem is, it's written so badly. World building is repetitive and boring. Nothing sticks with me so far aside from one thing: The anime's major plot twist right now is swapping team mid match, y'know the player can betray his teammates and score a goal for the other team instead. Yeah it's allowed to blue lock. Like wtf is that? It's one of blue lock's strategies when playing so tell me, how is this similar to Japan in world cup right now hmm???
Characters — one of my big problem on this series. They're forgettable and one dimensional. And overpowered. They think the same and talk the same. They're idiots. Bachira is the only tolerable character for me so far and he's not even the main character. Isagi sucks.
Animation — decent. You can tell that the studio has never animated sports before with the way they animate. Facial expressions are overly exaggerated but I think it's the art style not the animation.
Dialogues — Bad. I don't know where they're getting all those irrelevant life quotes and logics. It's not even about football. When people heard blue lock, they immediately thinks "badass" or "cool" but it's actually the opposite. It's childish and stupid. So not cool.
Music & OST — Not good but not bad. Decent I guess. Not to my liking.
Seriously, there are plethora of "wrong" in this anime.
Overall blue lock is a disappointment and a failure as a football anime. Those who are not fans of football might like and tolerate this kind of anime, but real football fans surely not. If they do, then good for them.
