They finally let them cook bruh😭 the comeback story of Season 2 was beautiful you love to see it, thank you everyone for sticking around for the weekly reactions🔥
I appreciate the reactions but "it deserved the hate it got" for episode 3 is a crazy statement IMO and I'm saying this as someone who's second favourite manga is Blue Lock. Mfs were acting like watching still frames caused them permanent blindness
@dratini1247 Dandadan wasn't same for me because after ep 4 I just read the whole manga so not the same impact for me and I was disappointed in blue lock because disgusting was not that good and I am egoist
Even with the animation problems, this was a great season and top 10 anime of the year. The story, characters, the game, the ost, the energy, all of that was pure hype, even for manga readers. And the best part is that they knew when to put the budget in the key scenes like the goals, and the final episode was top tier animation.
@@ShinFoster It doesn't change it but it eleveates by so many levels. Just because there were problems with the animation at the start doesn't change how good the story was. Plus there was were a few goals they animated well.
@@ShinFoster The goals that counted, they animated it well. Sure there was maybe a couple more goals they could have animated better but if that's your make or break then that's just your opinion. Imo the Isagi animation and the sae vs rin animation more than makes up for that.
Rin is OBVIOUSLY man of the match from BL side, I'd argue overall Sae and Shidou had great perfomances and can argue for that #1. But ISAGI is defo overall not better in this match than Rin
I think you're the first reactor to notice Sae doesn't break a sweat, it is a deliberate detail showing he wasn't going all out, you'll see other players with the same newgen heroes status in the future who don't break a sweat in future episodes
Since the anime decided to skip this bit I will explain the Kunigami thing (w/o spoilers ofc) So basically after Kunigami got destroyed by Shidou (shown in chapter 88-89) we see that next to the exit there's a Wild Card Door (fan theory is it's a loser bracket) So we basically have 36 players in Blue Lock (35 from 2nd Selec. plus Kunigami) meaning Shidou is still there. Hope that clears things up a bit. Can't wait for S3🔵⛓️⚽️
I have a feeling they'll make a flashback to that moment in season 3. Tbh, not showing chapter 88-89 in season 1 made kunigami's reappearance this last episode even more shocking and hype for anime onlys
I got hyped up by a friend telling me 'yo they got frames for the last episodes'. And indeed it was incredible, wished it could have been like this for the whole arc, even tho the plot carried hard nonetheless.
If you think about it, yes they could have animated it much better, but the way the manga is done, which so much dialog between characters and the evolution of those being done in the middle of the games, unless you add stuff that it's not in the manga, you won't have it so much better than this, the Rin&Sae scene fighting eachother was so good because there was no dialog so we see "only gameplay" focused on those 2. Imo the way they used the colours in this season was beautiful, some of the dialogs like the explanation of Shidou's logic was crazy, and the most important thing, episodes kept the hype up, we also have to keep in mind that right after season 1 finished they announced a 1h movie and the second season, it's not like they had an unlimited amount of time between season 1 and 2. For me the season was fine, totally enjoyed it.
That's what I'm saying. Rin vs Sae was literally the only manga chapter so far with no text and non-stop motion. People don't understand that the natural pacing of Blue Lock is meant to have slow animation because we follow Isagi's brain and how incredibly fast he processes information, hence why 3 seconds become a half-a-long minute scene. Not wanting ANY still frames or frozen moments is just immature and stupid IMO
@@lukastace3154 That's all well and good, I had no issues with the PNG lock moments like a lot of people but the main problem is that the parts that were supposed to have MOTION were sub par as well. Like the moments they use the 3D CGI thing to make people run it looks bad and jarring. PNG Lock moments were crucial like you said because it's exploring the thoughts of the characters in the microseconds it takes for them to make decisions. Not only that, some of the PNG's were accompanied by beautiful visuals, like Isagi with his puzzle pieces, all the 'aura' stuff, Aiku's Snake defence, etc. People say Season 1 was the same as season 2 but season 1 had a lot more well animated moments. Like even Chigiri's moments in Season 1 felt godly while in Season 2, the animation for his running moment felt lacking.
@@Mukatutu Oh I 100% agree, l'm not saying the movement animation was up to the level of season 1 either. The story, soundtrack, heavily conceptual imagery adaptation (Reo's Chameleon, Aiku's flow, etc) were all done greatly, but there were still moments from the manga during the match that I really wished were better. Like you said about Chigiri, he received the worst end of the stick mainly because his moments are heavily reliant on plain physical movement (which the studio did poorly) and not visual symbolism and imagery (which the studio did well). My main point was that the freeze frames and slow sequences are natural for Blue Lock, not that the animation was good. There was a clear downgrade in movement fluidity from s1 in episodes 2 and 3 of this season as well as other scenes, but it's nowhere near as bad as others are saying IMO
PEAK LOCK!!! Obviously more consistent animation would have been super cool to see, but I still loved the season and had hype moments, cool characters, and the main things I would want from a sports anime. Hopefully they have more time for season 3 to take a step up, but I’m looking forward to it regardless
YES!! THE BLUE ROSE IS HERE!! 💙🌹The got one of the BEST JPvoice actors for him too so it’s gonna be a treat to see him animated 😆 Also, thank you for not hating Sae😭 Yeah, his communication skills suck and his methods are ridiculously harsh, but deep down, I do believe that Sae wants to see Rin thrive for himself instead of hyper focusing on Sae. Rin having Isagi as a rival is healthy for his continual growth🦉🧩✨ I’m a Itoshi Brothers stan and I will defend both of these idiot brothers until the end of time😌✊✨
it was amazing and it also kinda sucks to see what blue lock could be if they let the animators cook and give them the proper time instead of rushing them and giving us png lock
I’m really sick of (allow me to steal phrasing from our guy Itoshi Sae) all these “half-baked” blue lock fans. People did nothing but shit talk this show all season then wanna hop on the hype train, he’ll nah. Shoutout to all the blue lock fans who didn’t just shit talk the show after a few bad animated episodes. Sports psychology is a huge aspect of blue lock that they’ve always done well. Music, bangers. Voice actors, bangers. Storyline, BANGER. Anime is more than pretty scenes. The scenes at the beginning weren’t great fs, but how much hate this show got was really really corny and lame. Glad the hype is back in blue lock but tbh it never left. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Well Itoshi Sae did sweat in the manga. But at least 1 drop after the game. I guess the anime was trying to show how much more of a superior player of Sae to everybody especially if he could’ve scored for his own if he wanted to but sadly he’s a midfielder not a striker and he hardly cares for the game.
@@k.junior3842it’s not like the third selection was some filler arc we were introduced to Shidou and saw his crazy goals and we saw Isagi developing his flow state with his goal and Reos new found copy weapon. Furthermore the animation was bad throughout the whole match of course it was pretty good in some moments(Shidou, Nagi and Isagis goal and Rin vs Sae) but apart from those moments the animation was mid if we being honest
@that’s fair. But it just made sense to me that these were character cards to care about later in the season. The third selection was less important than the U20 match. So it makes sense to do what they did.
@@k.junior3842 They should just do everything well, that’s it. Many other studios have consistently good animation so it’s not like it’s impossible and Blue Lock deserves it, so 8bit needs to lock in
It's definitely deserved, they focus too much to improve the art and add unnecessary shading that it becomes hard and takes too much time to animate and they ended up running out of time, the last match up just shows they'd have time to animate a full animation sequence if they just simplify the art

how am I supposed to tell people that png lock had hands down the best episode of the season, probably top 5 of the year
Well, its close but dandadan ep 7 was better.
@ all subjective bro, bluelock was better for me, maybe because I play sports and I’m just way more invested into the story of bluelock
@@madszn Yup, you right. For me its dandadan but theres absolutely a case for this being better
@dratini1247 Dandadan wasn't same for me because after ep 4 I just read the whole manga so not the same impact for me and I was disappointed in blue lock because disgusting was not that good and I am egoist
one peice had all top 5
Everyone: "aw look at that Rin, you're not alone"
Rin: "Nah fuck that shit"
🤣
8bit: It's Not How You Start, It's How You Finish
its not hahah most of the season was shit thats not excusable lol
its not about how you start, its about how you finish*

we are so biased, the ending being peak doesnt change the whole season
@@ShinFoster It doesn't change it but it eleveates by so many levels. Just because there were problems with the animation at the start doesn't change how good the story was. Plus there was were a few goals they animated well.
@Certid the nagi goal and thats it pal, the sae goal was good and they made it mid and the shidous goal was amazing and it looked aight
@@ShinFoster The goals that counted, they animated it well. Sure there was maybe a couple more goals they could have animated better but if that's your make or break then that's just your opinion. Imo the Isagi animation and the sae vs rin animation more than makes up for that.
@Certid the whole season was trash animated, "could have been better" cause it couldnt have been worse
peak reactors once again! your analysation is on point, never disappoint!! 🔥💯
BLUE LOCK BEATING THE PNG ALLEGATIONS WE LOVE TO SEE IT
The last guy at the end........The Blue Emperor is coming.
I just want to see that fist goal animated: "Executed".
its been a while boys. this is peaklock !!
Rin is OBVIOUSLY man of the match from BL side, I'd argue overall Sae and Shidou had great perfomances and can argue for that #1. But ISAGI is defo overall not better in this match than Rin
Well well looks like ichigo's sorry ass came back after getting sent home by my boy conney. I hope he's ready for round 2
*eye twitching* sure
all im gonna say is. hes no longer a hero :(
@@Star-v4e he is now a fraud.
This is why manga readers wanted to have faith, even 120 chapters later, this is still the peak of the series in terms of pure hype
Ngl whoever scores in BM vs PXG will be talked about for a WHILE knowing ksnr it’ll probably super unexpected
@@lillia333 I haven't read BM vs PXG yet and got jumpscared thinking I almost thought I got spoiled for a second, thanks 😭 NEL will be amazing
I think you're the first reactor to notice Sae doesn't break a sweat, it is a deliberate detail showing he wasn't going all out, you'll see other players with the same newgen heroes status in the future who don't break a sweat in future episodes
Emperor Kaiser join the war baby!! 🔥
Obliterates everyone on the field
The chosen emperor got introduced
"bro came back from bleach" lmfao
Finally someone sees that sae didn't even sweat
I've been waiting for this one let's goooo 🎉
MVP belongs to Rin sure that goal was cool but the best goal still goes to Shidou
If you think MVP is only about the goal you had your eyes closed the whole match
lmao mvp is easy sae

I'm sure that at the end of s1 they show kunigami an the door, but no explanation given.
Although you say the anime skips it I'm willing to bet 99% that it will be covered next season so...I ain't readin that.

If anyone had sense, you’d know that they were gonna be ramping up as it went. Why would they use up animation on the prelude?
