High school soccer players from across Japan gather for a controversial project designed to create the best and most egoistic striker in the world.. Based on a sports manga written by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and drawn by Nomura Yuusuke.. Spin-off Blue Lock: Episodio Nagi (2024). When I watched the first episode I thought "wow this is a refreshing take from all the power of friendship stuff". After the second episode it hit me that this could be one of the most elite sports anime of a generation. The animation and visuals are all there and I have a feeling that the best is yet to come. The ideals are strong as hell and the characters definitely each have a unique flavor of power among them. The best part about it is there is almost no cringey humor forcefully interjected, and it goes a step further in seriousness and sometimes feels like AOT levels of gravity. The stakes are high, and I have a feeling that it’s going to get DARK. I’m here for it.
