Many users complained on social media, mentioning that it “looked like a PowerPoint presentation” and that they used “Capcut transitions” for the first episodes of this second season.
However, everything changed with the match against the Japan U-20 team. This match not only elevated the narrative, but also marked a significant improvement in the animation. Nagi Seishiro and Shidou Ryusei's plays stood out for their detail and dynamism, bringing excitement back to the series.
The final episode, "Last Attack ," was the season's high point. Using the Kagenashi technique , which prioritizes fluidity over detail, the episode delivered a spectacular sequence. Isagi Yoichi's goal became an iconic moment, thanks to the work of animator Hajime Nihira and the perfect synchronization between the music and the acting.
It even received a 10 rating on IMBD, which speaks to the overall uptick in reviews for the entire season.
Despite the impact of this episode, the season wasn't without its ups and downs. The inconsistency in quality from the first episodes is an area 8-Bit Studio must improve for the third season, which will adapt the exciting Neo Egoist League arc.
In short, Blue Lock Season 2 managed to redeem itself with a finale that left its mark. Although imperfect, it ended strongly and promised great things for the future of the series.
