Since October 5, football anime fans Blue Lock can discover the first arc of season 2. But it is clear that despite the public’s expectations, the production seems not to meet what the public expected. Here’s why.
A season 2 for Blue Lock which does not meet fans’ expectations
When it comes to sports anime, audiences are more than passionate and Blue Lock is no exception to the rule. This was also the case of Haikyu!! et Yuri!!! on Ice who are respectively dedicated to volleyball and figure skating and who are productions appreciated in particular for the incredible scenes they were able to offer.
After season 1 of Blue Lock which had blown away fans, anticipation was high for the sequel. And the return of the football anime was not really unanimous among the public who hoped for big things for season 2. Indeed, this new season of the anime must face a huge flaw that everyone brings up: its animation more than mediocre and this, if not almost non-existent in the first episodes.
An animation worthy of a PowerPoint
For this season 2 of Blue Lock, Isagi and his adversaries are back to offer fans a new arc which is the adaptation of the manga by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Yusuke Nomura produced by the 8-Bit studio. But what comes up regularly on social networks is of course the question of animation. To begin this new season, the public witnesses the conclusion of the arc of season 1 and continues with a match against the U-20 national team of Japan. Except that this meeting did not excite the spectators who went so far as to say that the anime looks like a PowerPoint or that the manga offers more movement.

Some people have fun declaring thatfailing to have an animation worthy of the name, at least the graphics offer a certain aesthetic. At least that’s it. Other commentators attempt to defend the anime by arguing thatthis is only the start of season 2 and the studio has not necessarily allocated all of its budget for this mini-arc going up to episode 3.
Note that the animators of Blue Lock are overworked with this season 2 as well as the production of a film. The studio faces a particularly busy schedule and add to that, the fact that the artists behind the anime are underpaid. But we can also understand the disappointment of the public while these new episodes of Blue Lock were particularly anticipated by fans.
