Although this show was corny from the start, Season 1 was decent enough to keep me watching for the interesting twists. It felt like watching Alice in Borderland if football were the game involved. The characters were interesting, and I felt bad for Kunigami and the guy eliminated by Isagi in the very first episode.
But Season 2 is such a disappointment. The animation is so bad that I couldn’t even focus on the story. It’s not like the previous season was flawless; there were some bad CGI moments too. But it wasn’t as pathetic as this atrocity. At this point, Blue Lock the anime is

That was the night I died (again). Grave of the Fireflies was the first anti-war film I watched. There were some things I didn't notice during my first viewing. The film shows how deeply brainwashed people were by the Japanese Imperial Empire, to the point where they almost worshipped their emperor.

In an authoritarian regime, people aren’t truly patriotic to their country, they're simply loyal to or afraid of their leader. In the last few minutes of the film, some rich girls are shown returning to their ... |
