Since the manga is selling so good, the production committee (Kodansha) is rushing the adaptation due to the hype (money). Again, it’s honestly sad how GREED is the problem in the anime industry. These animators need more TIME and a decent SCHEDULE to produce a good quality adaptation. I won’t say it’s for ( every show ) but if you guys would pay close attention, you would notice how mangas that aren’t really popular in sales.. have a good adaptation especially talented staff with lots of free lancers… that’s because it’s no ( pressure ) to release the show so fast. But.. since Blue Lock is literally in every top 5 or 10 in sales, they are rushing the production to generate money and they dont won’t to kill the hype of the manga. Yea it sucks I would agree, but yup that’s how bad the industry is. They don’t care how great this man work is. It’s all about MONEY. Hopefully what I said makes sense 🙏.

[@TheDudeThatFalls]

I wrote this in another video, but it fits for this one too. The trailer was released and there was a consensus that the animation was a problem. Two episodes in, and we literally saw that every bad shot and worrying scene in the trailer, was in fact from the first two episodes. The way I see it, these two episodes were the least important in the arc, and thus were probably given the least attention given the budget and time constraints. Making a trailer using scenes exclusively from these two episodes also helps them by setting low expectations (they show us their worst from the get go--in the trailer and the first 2 episodes--to get it out of the way as quickly as possible) and then only leaves room for improvement. This is a pretty good strategy. Call it blind optimism, but it doesn't make any sense to show the best scenes in your trailer and then have the rest of the show suck. I think they are fully aware of the quality of the animation they showed us in that trailer, and gambled on people getting past episodes 1 & 2 and being pleasantly surprised with the remainder of the arc. If we're 5 episodes in and the animation is still total garbage, then that's the time to freak out and be pessimistic. But as of right now, I think we're jumping the gun.

[@kronosrll]

[@ZRodent90]

I almost 100% agree with you, just let me add a few more things. LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE besides the animation is Top tier or at least just under top tier. Besides the animation, nothing I have seen so far has been mid. Even the CGI got a sharp and noticeable upgrade, some will still call it mid because OBVIOUSLY its never prefered over great animation. Also the whole Third Selection is really just a mini arc setting up the U20 match. So, to be more realistic, I would cut the anime some slack till the U20 match begins proper. Only then can we criticize the studio/budget.

4:25 I have been reading the nagi spin off manga which shows his pov in blue lock and talks more about other characters back stories and in 2nd selection after rin takes isagi away, nagi's team last match before the world 5 was against karasu and otoya (after playing a match to get zantetsu as a replacement for isagi). The reason for his trash talk is because he thinks of himself and mediocre, or amateour, some average joe who will do nothing, so instead of letting people look at him that way, he analyzes them first to get their weaknesses and then attack them right there. So in the episode 2 match he saw how isagi is the most average of them all and just went for it so karasu gets the upper hand over him.

People need to realize that 8bit is not a powerhouse studio ,people think its about money ,but most anime cost around the same value ,some maybe more or less ,but they hover around the same cost ,the difference is the talent ,when they first made Slime they had pretty good consistent animation and sound design ,i would assume the talented people either went to other shows or just left the studio all together ,but its not like the studio itself was known for top tier animation ,they were known for good sound design mostly . Also being rushed since the manga is selling like hot bread .

IDK if 2 years after s1 can be considered being rushed even with episode of nagi I think it's still a very normal schedule. also what's stopping them from keeping or getting more talent if the shows they got are very successful ? also is it really smart to take a football anime out of everything's that's available if you don't have the ability or at least trying to get those talents that are fitted for this kind of show ? these points some are making aren't totally invalid but with the levels of adaptations that amines are in right now demanding a good adaptation for 1 of the best Mangas around isn't a hard ask. there's literally countless random shows with very good animations

This season 2 feels more like a powerpoint presentation than an anime

[@MalachiOcampo-f8m]

Its like im always watching a cutscene😭

[@Kamicoin_]

Just hoping the majority of the budget is going towards the actual u-20 match

[@moolcazy3805]

If U20 got Season 1 level animation it's gonna looks like a painting created by god himself compared to what we have now

[@bebemax95]

According to Isagi's Voice Actor, the animators poured their "heart and soul" into the U-20 Match so lets hope thats where all the budget went. Im sure it is tbh.

[@Mugen01]

The voice acting is always elite so im sure he did. Praying the visuals match the audio 😭

[@megaphya]

This episode really throw me off cuz everything outside the match looked great, good animation and drawing but then the match starts and the animation drops it was so confusing

[@buqueta]

I mean, bro, at least the drawings/art style is still amazing and accurate.

[@wokekoala3888]

I think that yall forgot how much of a slideshow s1 is, this is definitely an upgrade imo

[@Alteronx]

Ur actually braindead if u think that 😂

[@Zyimes]

To this damn day I refuse and I repeat REFUSE to believe that Isagi is older than Rin 😭😭

[@ashwinborgaonkar]

As someone who don't understand animation 😔 but like watching anime I absolutely agree with you

[@mo96_qasim]

Thank god I decided to read the manga cuz this looks like animated manga videos

[@mr.protagonist5639]

how we already need a remake of season 2 before its even finished

[@miaicegirl9143]

If I was the director I think I'll do the same thing and focus time/budget on the actual U-20 game. It might not be breathtaking, but I'm 100% sure that the animation will be better. Still, yes. I can't lie that I'm not disappointed though.

[@sarthakthapa8018]

We were not focusing on episode but, what will they do wrong with it. Its only 2 ep. Don't judge it

[@emmanueladekunle3088]

Judge it cause if the u20 is not as good as expected..yall would hate it more

[@isakibrahim8316]

Isagi next episode gonna go STUPID. I pray to god they don’t mess up THAT part
