- StarsRicco FajardoAaron DismukeDrew BreedloveHigh school soccer players from across Japan gather for a controversial project designed to create the best and most egoistic striker in the world.Story (SPOILERS) 7/10
- The story of Blue Lock is a captivating and high stakes narrative with a unique premise.
- Never felt like there was a useless episode, every episode served to push the narrative further or develop/evolve the characters. I was impressed by the writer's ability to present a multitude of soccer matches and have each of them feel fresh and engaging.
- The matches themselves feel formulaic. Isagi will describe the actions and his thought process EVERY time while playing. While the nuance of his perspective is interesting, the constant breaks in action for these scenes can become tiresome at times.
- I disliked how Kunigami, Kuon, and other teammates of Isagi were eliminated off screen. Though I can appreciate the shock value it created
Art/Animation 7/10- Blue Lock delivers a range of fantastic animation to substandard CGI scenes to the viewers.
- The goal scoring scenes are spectacular with them rightfully getting the most attention and quality.
- The animators love to emphasize and create unique designs for characters eyes. Character's eyes are a motif that is used a lot throughout the anime, but it never gets old.
- There is a decent chunk of CGI used for scenes with a lot of characters in them. It is noticeable and off putting.
- Overall, Blue Lock's animations hold up to modern standards and the quality is top-notch when it matters most. However, corners are cut from time to time.
Sound 8/10- Blue Lock has solid soundtrack that absolutely slaps during the action scenes.
- The OST crescendos beautifully during pivotal moments, creating an intense and electrifying atmosphere.
- The OPs for both parts are fantastic. Chaos ga Kiwamaru has great vocals while Judgement has eye popping visuals.
- There are a couple throwaway soundtracks, and both EDs are forgettable.
Characters 9/10- The characters in Blue Lock are a defining strength of the show.
- Almost all important characters having distinct traits and qualities that could leave almost any major character as someone's favorite.
- A lot of characters get moments to flesh out their development. Isagi (of couse), Bachira, Barou, Rin, Chigiri, and Nagi get some time in spotlight, and are well written.
- Even characters like Kunigami, Naruhaya, and Kuon get some character development/backstory that is compelling.
- Blue Lock throws a bunch of characters at you and it can get overwhelming at times. The constant influx of new characters can drown out the more established characters.
- Best Character: Barou
Enjoyment 9/10- Blue Lock is a fun and intense anime that can keep you glued to your screen from episode to episode. The stakes that are created along with your investment in the characters keeps every episode interesting and engaging.
- I am a sports fan in general and have some experience with soccer, therefore making me more adept to liking the show.
- This is my first sports anime, so I cannot comment on if Blue Lock blends in with other sports anime. However, Blue Lock makes soccer, a sport that I find boring, entertaining.
Overall 8.00/10.00 - DirectorSatoshi KonStarsJunko IwaoRica MatsumotoShinpachi TsujiA pop singer gives up her career to become an actress, but she slowly goes insane when she starts being stalked by an obsessed fan and what seems to be a ghost of her past.
- CreatorAka AkasakaStarsJack StansburyMegumi HanTakeo OtsukaA doctor and his recently-deceased patient are reborn as twins to a famous Japanese musical idol and navigate the highs and lows of the Japanese entertainment industry as they grow up together through their lives.
