Blue Lock is mediocre at best. The exaggerated compliments from fans cannot be trusted. I can say the same (midiocre) with both the anime and the manga, cuz the anime has been true to it's source so far.
Blue Lock is quite enjoyable to watch because of its animation and art, I think that's what people are crazy about... But aside from animation and art, Blue Lock can't really offer anything good when it comes to the story and the characters.
It's plot is almost non-existent. It's premise, "selecting the greatest striker in the world out of 300 applicants" is kind of childish and just
...
downright ridiculous. The writing of this series is bad and shallow, almost like written by a drop out kid from high school who's on high from using drgs. The characters are also written badly and lacks a lot in terms of personality and brain, they are one dimensional and overpowered. I wish the author focus more on fixing the writing of the main characters and the story rather than nonstop addition of characters with the same personality.
The facial expressions are over the top and exaggerated most of the time, and the dialogues are really bad I'm not gonna lie, there's no speck of intelligence nor elegance in it but atleast it has dialogues(?) it's really corny and childish for me despite it trying so hard to be edgy. Their whole vocabulary revolves around random made up quotes in life, death and survival quotes, ego centric quotes that sometimes doesn't make sense, etc...It's still watchable though, it can make your brain go dull to the point where you're just gonna laugh it all out, shake the second hand embarrassment and move on like what blue lock fans do.
It's kind of gayish too, which i think contributed to it's popularity.
So yeah.
It's mid overall. This anime just feel empty, idk I can't describe it exactly but there was no pull or attachment after you watch it or read it... nothing strikes to my body organs, I was poker faced the whole time. It's like im only watching this anime for the hype at this point.
