Blue Lock is a sports series where some of your normal sports anime tropes aren’t present, especially the “power of friendship”, which is good in a way, yet it made it so edgy to the point where sometimes, it’s quite laughable. If you’re someone who likes sports anime for its realism, you won’t get…
Read full review on AniList →(Note: I'm a British girl so I will be referring to 'soccer' the way everyone in my native country does, as football) What an absorbing thriller of a series this was. Produced by Studio 8-bit they went all in creating some gorgeously creative scenes either depicting the characters’ talents, strugg…
Read full review on AniList →Super entertaining anime and a compelling depiction of football drama. The portrayal of football in combination with the dramatic moments is what makes this anime great. I've been watching and playing football since I was like 6 years old so I can connect more with a football focused sports anime th…
Read full review on AniList →This show blew me away from the very beginning. I was not a huge fan of soccer going into this show, but I was rather a fan of sports anime. Having watched Haikyuu and Kuroko's Basketball, I had set expectations very high for this anime in particular, and it surpassed them in nearly every way! I do…
Read full review on AniList →Have you ever seen something happen in real life and thought “Man, this would be sick if it was anime and had some ridiculous anime shenanigans”. Well clearly the author of Blue Lock thought that about soccer and got to work. The story begins with the main character Yoichi Isagi and striker for som…
Read full review on AniList →Blue Lock is an insane sports fiction about the best high school football prospects in Japan battling it out in a squid game-inspired tournament to become Japan's number 1 striker. We are introduced to our main character Isagi who despite lacking the physical athletic talents more than makes up for…
Read full review on AniList →__Plot__ The show has a more interesting premise than a typical sports anime: a facility for high school boys to test and train them to be the next best striker for the Japanese football team. This premise seemed very promising in the start. Ego’s blunt and objective speeches coupled with the myste…
Read full review on AniList →⚽ Blue Lock Review (Season 1) Okay so I watched Blue Lock and it was like… kinda cool but also kinda weird??? It’s about soccer but not really. It’s like they put all these guys in a big jail and make them fight each other to be the best striker or something. Not fist fight but like, soccer fighting…
Read full review on AniList →~~~I know people who are really into sports and I can confirm they are exactly like this. Blue Lock manages to be absolutely overflow with charm by sheer virtue of being as over-the-top and deranged as humanly possible. Every single episode you'll hear a teenager talk about their pride in their ski…
Read full review on AniList →Blue Lock is an excellent series about soccer. (I’m sorry if my American-ness is offending you lol). The plot is amazing, it has just the right amount of suspense and drama, the characters are built upon wonderfully, and the humor is great. ___ To me, characters are the most important part of a sh…
Read full review on AniList →BLUELOCK has to be the silliest and at the same time most hype anime I’ve watched for a while now. There is of course some little depth to it, as it addresses the psychology of strikers and egoism, which ties into the idea of the story to raise the best striker in the world by making him the “bigges…
Read full review on AniList →Soccer/Football is a sport that has captivated the whole world. In this anime it not only shows how not only complicated soccer can be but also shows how hard work and determination can get you somewhere. Blue Lock has a lot of things that make you love soccer and anime. It makes you think of soccer…
Read full review on AniList →__DISCLAIMER: This review originally was made way before the anime finished. I have finished yet nothing changed in my experience so I'd just keep it that way.__ Blue Lock is an anime series based on a serial manga popularized in 2018 by Muneyuki Kaneshiro about the way how Japanese society norms d…
Read full review on AniList →With the World Cup upon us, I suppose now is a better time than any for this series. I have never seen a soccer match in my life (Or is it football? They call it soccer in the sub so I’m going with that). I have also never watched a sports anime past one episode in my life. It’s not that I thought…
Read full review on AniList →_contains spoilers This anime. Man, this anime. It is.. so good. Enough foreplay, and let's just get right into it. I do not like sports animes. I don't even like sports in real life. I just always found them boring. But this anime is something different. It is built ******* different. It took me…
Read full review on AniList →Looking at the promotional artwork, __I honestly didn't expect much.__ The visuals alone didn't immediately catch my attention, and I probably wouldn't have started watching if I had had something else on my watchlist. However, I decided to give Blue Lock a chance, __and to my surprise, I was hooked…
Read full review on AniList →As any football lover, I grew up watching Captain Tsubasa on television. The only difference is that in my country it was known as Supercampeones, and for some reason all the character names were different. But that's not really important. What matters is that football has always been a huge part of…
