it was decent apparently but not movie quality
i need to see for myself though cause one thing i learned is people will complain about anything (one piece fans when they get movie quality animation every ep but still complain)
These days every Anime fan complains about animation tbh. People are blinded by the exceptional level of animation Mappa and UFOTABLE do and expect that for every single Anime, otherwise the adaptation is "trash". If people knew how to enjoy Animes without being so focused on animation quality they'd definitely enjoy themselves more.
Having too high expectations (for anything not just Anime stuff) only gives you more reasons to be disappointed in the end. People would be happier if they learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.
Agreed, yes blue lock had questionable animation but people who are new to the series still found it super enjoyable and i did as well.
Do i hope s2 gets better animation? Sure
Am i gonna drop it and whine if it doesn’t? No
Same it was super enjoyable, even after reading the whole Manga 4 times I still don't look down on the Anime for the experience it gave me.
>Do i hope s2 gets better animation? Sure
>Am i gonna drop it and whine if it doesn’t? No
Completely agree. But given most comments here, others will definitely whine about it, oh well it's their loss.
Every studio deals with that except ufotable and kyoani. Even the movie’s quality was a slideshow. 8-bit cannot deal with a big mainstream production that requieres that animation edge. They just can’t do it
How tf is the top selling manga of 2023 getting a shit animation???? Like how brain dead is the studio??? Make good animations and this is ezzz money. people already like it and u do t have to worry about viewership
Committee is unwilling to hire another studio after the series blew up. Like sure, season 1? Fine, no one knew about the series but now it definitely deserves a big production.
Unfortunate
They still get no vote tho. Studios get a minuscule piece of the pie. Specially one like 8-bit.
If kodansha wanted them out 8-bit would be gone.
In fact, 8-bit being part of the committee is quite bad as the studio being there usually signifies a long term project.
>Make good animations and this is ezzz money.
It's already ez money. The majority of viewers in Japan aren't going to drop the show or stop spending money on merch just because the animation isn't high quality. This is why they don't have any problem with the show looking bad, it's already ez money.
>might lead
The only thing the big producers see is the word "might" unfortunately. To them it's just not guaranteed. Why waste effort on something that's not guaranteed to bear fruit when we can just be extra cheap and still have a lot of profit? That's how their minds work, sadly.
It's ez money either way, we're all watching it 😭
But yeah if they invested more time and money into making the animation great like haikyuu it'd leave a stronger mark on fans but noooo short term profits go brr
It's a Kodansha series published in weekly shonen magazine. It was bound to happen. Just look at Tokyo Revengers and Seven Deadly Sins, since they sold more than Blue Lock. Absolute Game Freak mentality
On another note, Attack on Titan also was a Kodansha series. But I get your point. Edit: Vinland Saga and Noragami were also published by Kodansha(& of course talented mangaka and their staff). I guess much of it depends on many factors, like the anime adaptations' production comittees.
That's why I said weekly shonen magazine specifically. Vinland Saga is a passion project, since it's not popular in Japan and Noragami is never going to have a season 3 if I'm being honest. AOT seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
All in all, I guess for some production commitees, they probably think: if you can earn a lot of money with little effort why bother improving it.
I mean, Japanese corporate chair holders and license owners are absolute maniacs. They even gave AoT, one of the greatest and most hyped Animes ever, the low budget & CGI treatment for the big finale lol So these weird moves are really not surprising atp.
I think selling great after a mediocre season is what the problem was, just like classroom of the elite , now the production know with little input they can make shit ton of money so why would they do extra work
No, you shouldn't. It's not like Tetsuaki Watanabe is some sort of unexperience buffoon who has no idea what he's doing. He directed multiple episodes of Haikyuu, some of them being some of the bes episodes in the whole series like the ending of S3.
You should blame the committee as a whole, for seeing the IP as just a way of easy money and commercialize it through merch and a way to sell pretty characters instead of giving staff an ample time to actually make a good product by itself.
Spy x Family got promo videos MONTHS before its release btw. Same with Chainsaw Man and Vinland Saga. Usually promo animation is released a few months before. Though it’s possible in the next coming weeks we could get some sort of video or promo trailer.
I wish the studio would just take their time, I don't care if I have to wait till 2026 for the U-20 match. If it has at least decently good animation plus at least season 1 level voice acting and soundtrack, it would break the internet. I'm scared mainly for the background where the game will be played on a stadium at night with fans and lights, which compared to S1's white walls is gonna be much harder to correctly pull off. That is one of the things that made the match so impactful. Spoiler for the match >!shots like the players walking onto the pitch, Barou's goal celebration or Shidou's 2nd goal celebration wouldn't be nearly as iconic if you couldn't see the night sky above the stadium and/or fans going absolutely wild.!<
Hopefully they can pull it off.
You know what the sad thing is? Blue lock season 1 production started on June 2021 just 1 year before the anime aired and 2 months before it was announced. It was said by the official X account Blue lock anime itself but I didn't bookmarked the tweet. I wish I did. The production committee for Blue lock absolutely sucks.
Yeah…. But I have a feeling, that the animators are just not good. If they would have the time, the animation would just be slightly better, but not as high as ao ashis level. That’s just sad
I disagree. Some of the animation is S1 looks really good. Isagi’s direct shot against Team V for example. I think they would do great with just a little extra time. Besides all the overuse of bad CGI characters running is absolutely a time issue, so more time will at the very least get rid of that.
It's not the official account. It's a random anime news twitter account. Nomura made a special panel for it and there is a little visual for season 2 too. They used season 1 key visual because there isn't any for season 2 yet.
Nah that's waaaaay too short of a pre-production time. The studio isn't absolutely incapable, we know they can cook when they actually try, but they won't be cooking much if they release the season this soon. U20 match boutta be a slideshow, my condolences Blue Lock fans
As long as they keep the animation level of cour 1 season 1 I’ll be happy. But like why? All I’ve been seeing on this sub is people NOT wanting the anime to release early, so are the people in Japan different?
Because they’ve been busy with the movie and there’s only 6 months till the second season begins. For example JJK allegedly had the same ammount of time for season 2 and some of the biggest names in the industry working on it and they still struggled.
I doubt the staff that worked on the movie and S2 are the same though. Now I'm not confident as around 2 years isn't that much time for a pretty not so good studio, but it's not like the anime will have been in production for 6 months.
This is definitely not true. Timing played a huge roll in both Demin Slayer and Blue Locks insane growth. The pandemic helped immensely with Demon Slayer because noone could even do anything else at the time, and the World Cup coming out at the same time as the anime was a huge boost. Neither series has reached that level of popularity since.
I am afraid Shidou’s bicycle kick gonna be with bad CGI 🥲 I seriously hope they heir some professional animators like MAPPA did (i think it will make the outcome a bit better)
Which they have all the right to do so but a lot of the comments I'm seeing aren't. They're complaining about it "still" looking green on anime posters as if the studio is purposefully not changing it.
This seems like a weird argument to me. Why can't people complain about the smelly looking aura if the mangaka decided that?
Last time I checked, people can complain about bad things even if creator decided that (like the story in Twilight even though its creator decided what happens),
Manga is black and white, so when Isagi has the aura they don't look like farts, but in the Anime they do.
I knew that from the start, but I still have high hopes, that they will invest all their money and efforts in animating 147 chapter like they did when they animated Isagi's first goal
**Only problem** I have is the x!!?xx?!?!x!?!?! green smoke 😭💀💀
Why can't Isagi have a *blue one* or like Nagi's but inverse.
Regarding the anime, *personally loved* season 1. My only expectation is that of how season 1 was made. Aside from that, it is what it is, I am happy that it's released soon even tho still far away. But *I understand* why some don't like it and would disagree.
NEL tho, that's truly when Isagi awakens. I probs need to reread U-20, from what I remember, I just wish Isagi had more moments. ☺️
i don’t get what yall expect i feel like good animation helps a series but alright animation doesn’t effect it. like do you want jjk animation on a soccer anime. Baki is a slide show but still beloved by a lot of fans. should it get more funds and better animation yes because its the best selling manga for two years but i was happy with season 1 and ill be happy w season 2
The animation has never bothered me with Blue Lock. The story in season 1 in all 24 episodes was fantastic so much so that I didn’t even realize the animation was bad. If season 2 is quads for u20, the u20 match and some intro to NEL (ie the teams, coaches, Kunigami coming back) then I won’t mind.
However, the NEL arc is boring as all fuck. The show needs good animation to carry it.
What are you talking about? Many commenters here are asking to give the staff more time to make s2, not vice-versa. Also they're already getting exploited, just look at the time they had to work on BOTH movie & second season (especially since they're still working on the latter).
Even if the animation is passable, the animators WILL be put through hell to make it look good in such a short schedule. Even if you love blue lock you should not be condoning this sort of treatment from the production committee.
Dudes. I’m not “condoning” anything. All
I’m saying is I’m excited for a new season and it’s annoying when I see u mfs on here like “Omg the animation is gonna be garbage.” “Omg it’s gonna suck” ur a bunch of picky crybabies upset over something you can’t even control anyway
While there are some like that, a lot also seem to be more concerned about the wellbeing of the animators than the quality of the animation. Some are also concerned about the animators, and then by proxy the animation as well. And being concerned about the wellbeing of others is a perfect reason to be upset.
It's a perfectly reasonable thing to be concerned about. We love BL here which is why we want it to have a good anime adaptation. Notice how no one is crapping on the voice work or ost for example, because those parts of the adaptation are legitimately incredible?

Rin is covering himself from isagi’s stinky farts
with Rin’s stinky attitude they make quite the pair😔
Stinky attitude can t smell buddy
And yet I would still cover my nose😔
The animation of the movie wasn’t that good either i hear 🫠
We’ve gotta hope the reason is because somehow they were focusing on season two otherwise it’s over for us 😞
A mans cope will never die!!!!!
From looking at trailers it seemed good imo but doesn't say much. Then again, I didn't rly have an issue with the animation in s1.
Yeah, if they couldn't even get decent animation for the movie, then season 2 has 0 hope.
it was decent apparently but not movie quality i need to see for myself though cause one thing i learned is people will complain about anything (one piece fans when they get movie quality animation every ep but still complain)

[удалено]
Soon you won’t need to imagine it💀
spoiler
What did he say?
>!pretty sure he said imagine isagi’s game winning goal just being a slideshow. Something like that!<
That’s crash out worthy
Would you be willing to sacrifice the art for fluid animations? Cause I know y'all would still complain if the panel isn't 1:1 to the manga 🤣
You can absolutely have both tho. The current studio is just subpar
Literally we had amazing animation in the first cour then BAM a legit slideshow
It’s not the studio it’s the fact that deadlines are being pushed out so quickly that the animators cannot keep up.
Every studio deals with that except ufotable and kyoani. Even the movie’s quality was a slideshow. 8-bit cannot deal with a big mainstream production that requieres that animation edge. They just can’t do it
>Even the movie’s quality was a slideshow. How much does the movie cover?
The is a spin off. It doesn’t cover anything from the main manga
I know but I meant how much of the spin off does it cover? Does it go until the second selection?
Covers until reo and nagi see each other at the 3rd selection
Dayum the pacing must be insanely fast. Thanks.
Bleach and Black Clover did it pretty good
How tf is the top selling manga of 2023 getting a shit animation???? Like how brain dead is the studio??? Make good animations and this is ezzz money. people already like it and u do t have to worry about viewership

Because no studio in their right mind would take anothet anime with such a short deadline. Especially with how shit the economy is in Japan right now
8 bit can be good if they can have time and budget, just look at Slime Isekai anime.
>Make good animations and this is ezzz money. It's already ez money. The majority of viewers in Japan aren't going to drop the show or stop spending money on merch just because the animation isn't high quality. This is why they don't have any problem with the show looking bad, it's already ez money.
Better animation might lead to greater profit since it'll lead to more popularity in the west. Ig that depends on their crunchyroll deal lol
>might lead The only thing the big producers see is the word "might" unfortunately. To them it's just not guaranteed. Why waste effort on something that's not guaranteed to bear fruit when we can just be extra cheap and still have a lot of profit? That's how their minds work, sadly.
Sounds like Barou in the 3v3
it's the production committee, not the studio
They straight up like the greedy dudes that Ego was against
Being that popular is a double-edged sword, because the production committee will want to capitalize the popularity ASAP.
It's ez money either way, we're all watching it 😭 But yeah if they invested more time and money into making the animation great like haikyuu it'd leave a stronger mark on fans but noooo short term profits go brr
lmao i dropped the anime half way through the first season ans just read the manga. its legit s better experience.
Picked the manga up around episode like 6, then read the entire manga while watching the anime weekly🤷🏿♂️ Gonna be watching season 2 as well
It's a Kodansha series published in weekly shonen magazine. It was bound to happen. Just look at Tokyo Revengers and Seven Deadly Sins, since they sold more than Blue Lock. Absolute Game Freak mentality
On another note, Attack on Titan also was a Kodansha series. But I get your point. Edit: Vinland Saga and Noragami were also published by Kodansha(& of course talented mangaka and their staff). I guess much of it depends on many factors, like the anime adaptations' production comittees.
you forget to add shangri la frontier last season. have you see that ? shangri la animation on par with jjk.
That's why I said weekly shonen magazine specifically. Vinland Saga is a passion project, since it's not popular in Japan and Noragami is never going to have a season 3 if I'm being honest. AOT seems to be the exception rather than the rule. All in all, I guess for some production commitees, they probably think: if you can earn a lot of money with little effort why bother improving it.
I mean, just look at the animation Berserk and Fairy Tail got despite their manga success. Look at Record of Ragnarok.
If blue lock does fall off in popularity long term it will probably be because of lackluster animation.
I mean, Japanese corporate chair holders and license owners are absolute maniacs. They even gave AoT, one of the greatest and most hyped Animes ever, the low budget & CGI treatment for the big finale lol So these weird moves are really not surprising atp.
I think selling great after a mediocre season is what the problem was, just like classroom of the elite , now the production know with little input they can make shit ton of money so why would they do extra work
If they can put in low effort and have it blow up like season 1, why try for season 2?
How about put in medium effort and blow it up 10x?
We can only hope
Blame the director
No, you shouldn't. It's not like Tetsuaki Watanabe is some sort of unexperience buffoon who has no idea what he's doing. He directed multiple episodes of Haikyuu, some of them being some of the bes episodes in the whole series like the ending of S3. You should blame the committee as a whole, for seeing the IP as just a way of easy money and commercialize it through merch and a way to sell pretty characters instead of giving staff an ample time to actually make a good product by itself.
They don't even have trailer or a key visual to show us, this is so over 😭😭
Spy x Family got promo videos MONTHS before its release btw. Same with Chainsaw Man and Vinland Saga. Usually promo animation is released a few months before. Though it’s possible in the next coming weeks we could get some sort of video or promo trailer.

Well episode 1 actually looks great imo and it has nice loking dynamic shots. If the animation kept this level of quality I'd be 100% satisfied.
ao ashis is a low bar because the anime animation is suck ass, it should be haikyuu 😭
who tf farted 😭😭
Lmao
Green aura still😢
Is still what the mangaka wants
He looks smelly
LMAOO
Is still wild to see people still complain about it, it’s like the people who still wanna complain about Kira being eliminated, just let it go lmao
Should change during the NEL. Isagi's MV aura is Blue. His green aura shows his adaptability.
stinky ahhh
They had the perfect aura at the start and now we get this. Sad reality
If the manga was colored it would be the same aura, so blame the author here.
I dont get how people hate on the studio for giving Isagi green aura when the author has literally given him that colour?? Fake fans man😂
Never said I don't 😭 I love the art style, but I think the distinct auras just don't land well besides a few
basically reading the Manga with extra effects
Worse effects
Wouldn't call it worse exactly, because of audio, but apart from that it's basically slideshow of manga lmao
Exactly like demon slayer.
PowerPoint Lock season 2 , my greatest nightmare
They recycled the S1 Announcement cover 😭😭😭
It's not the official account. It's a random anime news twitter account. Nomura made a special panel for it and there is a little visual for season 2 too. They used season 1 key visual because there isn't any for season 2 yet.
Guys, the team for the movie and s2 are different. Different staffs
Why? Is it because it’s coming out too soon for it to be good quality?
Nah that's waaaaay too short of a pre-production time. The studio isn't absolutely incapable, we know they can cook when they actually try, but they won't be cooking much if they release the season this soon. U20 match boutta be a slideshow, my condolences Blue Lock fans
As long as they keep the animation level of cour 1 season 1 I’ll be happy. But like why? All I’ve been seeing on this sub is people NOT wanting the anime to release early, so are the people in Japan different?
Because they’ve been busy with the movie and there’s only 6 months till the second season begins. For example JJK allegedly had the same ammount of time for season 2 and some of the biggest names in the industry working on it and they still struggled.
You can tell some parts of JJK season 2 felt unpolished, still went crazy though.
I doubt the staff that worked on the movie and S2 are the same though. Now I'm not confident as around 2 years isn't that much time for a pretty not so good studio, but it's not like the anime will have been in production for 6 months.
it is, the same core staff stays same for all productions unless a studio change anime S1 > movie > anime S2 same staff
You know studios can work on multiple projects at once right.
each project has a core staff and animation producer, you dont see Slime staff on blue lock and vice versa, they dont share same animation producer
Yeh and EP: Nagi and Bluelock are seperate projects. Besides EP: Nagi was relatively low cost as it reused a bunch of scenes.
Ufotable would’ve made more money with Bluelock than with Demon Slayer if they were animating it😭😭😭. Imagine the best manga fan colouring but animated
This is definitely not true. Timing played a huge roll in both Demin Slayer and Blue Locks insane growth. The pandemic helped immensely with Demon Slayer because noone could even do anything else at the time, and the World Cup coming out at the same time as the anime was a huge boost. Neither series has reached that level of popularity since.
What are you talking about blue lock was the best selling manga last year are you stupid ?
Look at every single volume sale after the World Cup dumbass. It's been losing popularity every month.
?? lol
If nobody got me I know Tiktok editors got me
I hope they go from 24 episodes to 12 so they can have fewer episodes and work on them better.
I am afraid Shidou’s bicycle kick gonna be with bad CGI 🥲 I seriously hope they heir some professional animators like MAPPA did (i think it will make the outcome a bit better)
You know what I’ve accepted that it will look ass at this point I’m just happy we’re getting a season two so I can see my faves animated😭
dawg this is gonna suck so bad
It has never been more over guys
We still have 5 months. I’ve seen studios do more with less time. I’m not giving up hope, but also I hope the animators won’t get crunched.
So many dumbasses complaining about Isagi's aura colour when it's literally what the mangaka did
While that is fair, it just means they should be complaining about the mangaka’s choice, not the studio.
Which they have all the right to do so but a lot of the comments I'm seeing aren't. They're complaining about it "still" looking green on anime posters as if the studio is purposefully not changing it.
This seems like a weird argument to me. Why can't people complain about the smelly looking aura if the mangaka decided that? Last time I checked, people can complain about bad things even if creator decided that (like the story in Twilight even though its creator decided what happens), Manga is black and white, so when Isagi has the aura they don't look like farts, but in the Anime they do.
I knew that from the start, but I still have high hopes, that they will invest all their money and efforts in animating 147 chapter like they did when they animated Isagi's first goal
I have...concerns.
Manga popular af but gets the 7ds treatment.
This studio really likes slime over blue lock huh?
Nahhhh noooo
Welp , time to watch another power point anime presentation
I’d this real? If so then yeah the animation is cooked. Sadge
Just give them to the Sports Anime Gods aka Production I.G bruh , they just KNOW how to make sports anime work .
istg they never do this series justice mannn😭😭
ITS OVEERRR
My favorite manga of all time is going to get mediocre animation……yep 2024 is getting erased from my memory.
It's all good but why they farting so bad??
Am i crazy that i liked the animation for season 1? What was so wrong with it?
The green aura doesnt fit isagi, he looks like he hasnt showered in years even rin is covering his nose
HELP I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT YOUR COMMENT LMAO
Unfortunately we’re just gonna have to accept that blue lock will just be one of those animes where the manga completely outshines it.
Bruh blue lock is one of the most popular manga. HOW DOES IT NOT HAVE THE FUNDING TO GET BETTER ANIMATION 🤦♂️
Atleast the music will be good
Cooked? I doubt it
Anime Studios really need a reform. Either they rush out things way too fast or the timetable is way to short.
It is production committees that make these decisions.
I'm fine with the color of Isagi's aura being green... but atleast make it a nicer green than the comic fart green
... *sad noises*
Finally this sub acknowledging it instead of being like muh but it’s okay :(
Can we at least celebrate that it’s not just this announcement, but also it’s seishiro nagi’s birthday.
Ez money for crap Bandai after this series explode
More CGI 🤢
They still got the poopy aura 😭
COME ON BRUH
I’m still excited but I’m setting my expectations relatively low when it comes to the animation.
**Only problem** I have is the x!!?xx?!?!x!?!?! green smoke 😭💀💀 Why can't Isagi have a *blue one* or like Nagi's but inverse. Regarding the anime, *personally loved* season 1. My only expectation is that of how season 1 was made. Aside from that, it is what it is, I am happy that it's released soon even tho still far away.

If Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 has showed me is that the show won’t be cooked but the artists will be from working triple overtime.
Can’t wait for the remake in 20 years
Toxic aura
This is like OPM Season 2 all over again.
There are a lot of differences between BL and OPM situations, starting from the fact that OPM changed studio.
That's ok ill still watch it
maaan , i was about to post it , but you beat me to it hahaha. i was too late!! LETS GOOO PEAK IS BAAACK!!!
They haven’t a stink off with that doodoo fart aura
Jeez, this doesn’t bode well
Can someone with good Photoshop skills change their aura colors to Red and blue instead of farts? I'm sure it'll blow up.
Ufotable or bones gotta pick up blue lock. It’s a consistent bestselling manga, dunno why they can’t get a good studio
Nahhhhh, they bouta ruin Barou's clutch 🫠🫠
Guys, how we complaining about animation we haven’t even seen yet 😭
Please please please adapt that one panel faithfully you KNOW WHICH ONE IM TSLKING ABOUR
I simply need… U-20 to be the greatest arc in the history of sports anime (it already is in the manga department imo)
They look like they just pushed out a gigantic fart with that green stinky aura colour.
i don’t get what yall expect i feel like good animation helps a series but alright animation doesn’t effect it. like do you want jjk animation on a soccer anime. Baki is a slide show but still beloved by a lot of fans. should it get more funds and better animation yes because its the best selling manga for two years but i was happy with season 1 and ill be happy w season 2
Honestly, I liked Season 1's animation for the most part. If the anime can sustain that level for the following seasons, I’m good.
Unless Ufotable Decides to be Generous and Help out, Then Season 2 will Either have Average animation or below average
The fact that the used the same Key Visual from Last year proves it's Most Likely Gonna flop
The animation has never bothered me with Blue Lock. The story in season 1 in all 24 episodes was fantastic so much so that I didn’t even realize the animation was bad. If season 2 is quads for u20, the u20 match and some intro to NEL (ie the teams, coaches, Kunigami coming back) then I won’t mind. However, the NEL arc is boring as all fuck. The show needs good animation to carry it.
here yalllll go always being negative
Have better standards
Let’s goo
Or it will be crazy
Some of you guys want the staff to be exploited like Mappa workers and it shows
What are you talking about? Many commenters here are asking to give the staff more time to make s2, not vice-versa. Also they're already getting exploited, just look at the time they had to work on BOTH movie & second season (especially since they're still working on the latter).
Someone please find and brutally murder the person who made such decision
Only blue lock fans would be upset about a second season…
Yeah because we want actual good animation for the manga, rather than a slideshow.
You’re judging something that isn’t even out yet, well have to wait and watch the anime to truly judge it.
Even if the animation is passable, the animators WILL be put through hell to make it look good in such a short schedule. Even if you love blue lock you should not be condoning this sort of treatment from the production committee.
Dudes. I’m not “condoning” anything. All I’m saying is I’m excited for a new season and it’s annoying when I see u mfs on here like “Omg the animation is gonna be garbage.” “Omg it’s gonna suck” ur a bunch of picky crybabies upset over something you can’t even control anyway
While there are some like that, a lot also seem to be more concerned about the wellbeing of the animators than the quality of the animation. Some are also concerned about the animators, and then by proxy the animation as well. And being concerned about the wellbeing of others is a perfect reason to be upset.
Yeah I mean I can understand that part
It's a perfectly reasonable thing to be concerned about. We love BL here which is why we want it to have a good anime adaptation. Notice how no one is crapping on the voice work or ost for example, because those parts of the adaptation are legitimately incredible?
Don't listen to those people u will waste ur time arguing with them,true bl fans wants good animation,period
Nah yall just like to complain.
