The animation is so crisp, what a year for anime fans honestly

[@Waterseeker_]

Bro what are you talking about? 90% of this clip is still frames with mouth flaps. Even the action is mostly just panning stills or cutaways, for example the 30 seconds from 0:56 to 1:26 is almost entirely absent of actual movement, just having jumps between still shots of the different stages of the action with some mild camera movement across the frame. There's maybe 10 seconds of actually nice-looking action right at the end with the heel flick and the goal, but otherwise it's kinda embarrassing to call this "crisp".

[@BlockyP]

Yeah the animation looks pretty cool

[@abz7800]

This is only slightly more over dramatic than actual soccer, and that makes me happy. And if you came into this from other sports anime where there is some kind of camaraderie from the beginning, this is quite the change.

[@neymar.0594]

slightly more over dramatic?First its football not soccer Nobody starts waffling about who there going to pass it to for 5 minutes and lets the other teams defenders get back and you cant have an entire dialouge in the middle of a football game.

[@TheCrazyCapMaster]

Before anyone else tries to argue against this, my highschool soccer team was tied up with our rival… I wasn’t performing as well as usual due to some leg cramps… eventually our striker took the ball, ran it through the entire enemy team and scored for us 🤣 we lost that game 1-2 but it was a warning to them that we’d be ready for them at the semifinals, where we took it into double overtime before finally slipping up just once to once again end on a 1-2 loss. These Bluelock shenanigans can indeed happen in real games. In that semifinal game I was on the field as center midfielder for nearly the entire 2 hours of the game, playing my best soccer ever; heading the enemy goalie’s clearing kick right back at him from 20 feet away, covering the enemy team so thoroughly they got frustrated and fouled themselves trying to shove me away 🤣 got my foot stomped on hard enough to set me limping but I recovered from it in the middle of the match… it was so much fun even though we lost.

Love that Blue Lock actually gives it's characters realistic improvements over time. This Isagi can't even read him.
