you should give inazuma eleven a go, its a football anime too, but a bit less realistic and a bit more amazing, but its great and each team is super unique. and the animation is way better than pnglock

Raphanguille

Btw it won't upgrade for the u20, the complains online reached an animator and he said lots of things about most of his work getting cut (was suppose to work on 5 episodes but dropped after 1 because of that). Employees got overworked with low pay and apparently the studio just decided not to invest too much on making fluid animation and movements because they think more about money than workers condition or fan liking. So I think you should pick up the manga if animation really doesn't help with you liking the show.

Elijah Martinez

You gotta understand Nick the reason that there’s bad animation is because the animators are mistreated. They are not given enough time to create animation and their work is being rushed by producers. Watch some videos about it and do your research about animation.

Bradcube

An animator spoke about it on twitter and said they were extremely rushed had to work on multiple episodes at a time and scrapped most of the animation due to lack of time 🥲

Akai Ki

Still no exuse for the Studio to take on an Anime if they can´t make it time. Maybe complaining will help in getting the Manager fired or getting shit on.

Bradcube

No excuse for what ? They are not making the decisions its the higher ups fault

Bradcube

Yes a colored manga reaction would be insane 😭🙏

juzism

how about you animate the show under a time crunch with shitty working hours

Naresh Kandjee

People are so harsh with the animation but when you really love and understand how football works, you really enjoy it. Stop talking about the animation guys and try to UNDERSTAND HOW THE GAME WORKS because that's what they really want to show us ! Besides this episode was already better than the previous one so stop complaining. You don't watch Blue Lock with the right perspective, that's why you guyz are always complaining about the animation.

juzism

i get that but, when im watching anime i personally want it to be animated and not just colour panels from the manga. just a shame they didn't get enough time to work on it

Sabrina

Thats too bad cuz the manga is beautiful !

원 지

HERE WE GO ppt lock my goat this show is suckass

Poragami

is he just acting? there's no way hes geting excited over this lmao

Naresh Kandjee

I understand the frustration, that's why we have to put things into perspective and see the bright side of things. I still think it's not as bad as people want to make it out to be.

Nagi

i am asking myself why u put so much attention to the freeze frames, evry anime has it. my hero even has it in there movies. I know with my nagi profilpicture u guys think I am a blue lock ultra, but thats not ture. my fav anime is frieren. I think to say something about the animation is fine, but u all acting like it is seven deadly sins. its not demon slayer, frieren, jjk for sure but still not bad animation. Haikyus outsourced episodes were bad, sevend deadly sind season 4? 3? I dont know was bad, but this is totally fine. In most of the scenes u dont have movement because they are thinking or explaining something, where it is important so show a picture of what is happening to explain the football mind behind it. Like triangle play etc.

ayuub hassan

If you've been told you have a certain amount of time then they cut that in half how can you produce something good. Also, the production is cutting out a lot of the animation for these stills to save time and money. Watch the animator's tiktok (martinkiings). He shows his part of his animation being cut and says he isn't proud of what they put out

Shaun Cain thomas

When he asks on twitter what he should react to ive been putting the hissatsu shots from inazuma 11 on there. A reaction for the series would be so good

ayuub hassan

With OPM I was a fan of S2 but after reading the manga I realised the big difference and why people got mad. It's the same thing with Blue Lock. Both shows fail to capture what made the manga great. But IMO all blue lock needs is simple running animation to improve it. It already has amazing OSTs/OP and EDs/VAs but lacks crazy animation rn. I don't think the quality will improve drastically but I do think it will slowly get better

FEYKSAN

the animator never worked for the u-20 match itself, he just said that they had to rush everything, maybe its because the u-20 match is the main event and they want 90% of the money and time in this game. we will have to wait

Ryan Borthwick

Nah icl you're hating on that jigsaw shot. That shit was so fire.

BasSini King

Dont get me wrong i love blue lock ,but if you just watch re zero s3 than this shit then its worth it to wait every week than to wait for blue lock animation to get better just saying

BasSini King

Bro dont explain its really bad the only good thing about is the visual,ost and vpice actor but the animation otself is trash also dont say that there are no movement because they are explaining? Bruh haikyu can do both and almost all anime have explaining scene but the movement is still there ,here its like you are just watching a manga panel with color, ost amd voice actor if youbre reading the manga its not worth it to watch the anime ,dont get me wrong i love blue lock i even caught up to manga but im just being honest the animation on season 2 so far is TRASH

BasSini King

I doubt that it will get better but we will see just dont expect anything if you dont want to be diaapointed

Normadus

its shit compared to Kuroko no basket, thats all No need to suck that Blue lock dick and defend it

SXD

Man stfu, this episode wasn't that bad, it was kinda enjoyable.

Vailing Bow

Nick, just ignore the few people (if at all) that're commenting on you "being too much on twitter so he can't make up his own mind." They're always going to nitpick so best just to ignore them. Yes, it's legal to shove someone's arm off you for as long as you don't cause them to fall or hurt them or directly interfere with them playing (like puling using your hands or grabbing their arm) it's legal. Also, that last moment where Nick was angry at the animation, that bit was fine. Also, the animation's only really shit when the match starts. When it's off the field is when it's perfectly fine. And Nick missed the mention of Flow, lol.

Juuhjooh

The less attention shitty products get, the less they will make them. Its sad to see how Tower of God and blue lock got this treatment, people should just not watch this shit cause it encourages the studios do more of this. But still i hope Nick enjoys whatever he watches.

Vailing Bow

Bro what're you on about, lol. The excuse that "In most of the scenes u dont have movement because they are thinking or explaining something" is ridiculous since Haikyuu does that shit well WITH movement and even just disregarding that there are parts where the scene DOES require movement and ISN'T dialogue heavy yet you still get still images with like 1 thing moving. Season 1 had its fair share of still shots, but it showed way better movement than this shit.

Adiel Tanase

Nick I’d like to recommend you to give a try to Hajime no Ippo, really good anime for a future patreon only🔥🔥

Vailing Bow

Ah yes, cause actually finding something enjoyable out of a pretty badly animated episode means someone's standards are low 🙄You're acting like he enjoyed the episode from start to finish, lol.

Vailing Bow

Yeah, no. This isn't about perspective, lol. This is an anime. We expect ANIMATION. Haikyuu does well with putting in dialogue AND animating, lol. It has nothing to do with "understanding how the game works." The animation is shit and we expect better. As simple as that.

Naresh Kandjee

Then go make the animation.. do you know how painful this industry is ? Employees are working like slaves, so instead of complaining, enjoy what you have

Michael Colmenares

The story is still good, the visual effects are pretty good so there are still moments to get hyped over even with the shitty movement or lack of

Enzo Jesus Aguilera Aros

I know the animation is no good enough but i dont care to much, still good, i really like the ost in the isagi gol

Poragami

Animation is a BIG part in anime ESPECIALLY for Blue Lock because of their millions sold mangaka

Poragami

Season 1 wasn't even worth the hype, but the animation was pretty solid, there was nothing but garbage since season 2 lol

Poragami

"the visual effects are pretty good" while in the last episode we saw a presentation of how to pass via slidephotos, the football was a literal png that didn't move lol

Jossop

The animation is horrid. Shidou's goal was literally 2 pngs back to back. It showed his foot with a capcut effect and then a still png of him having already kicked the ball as the ball moved on a still screen. Its awful and lazy.

Adam

The fact that Haaland scored an identical goal to shidou yesterday is insane

Yuan Wen

Jossop as a manga reader I agree with you 100 percent. They sold that shot fr

ISHOWNUT

People watch anime because of the animation. It's also called anime. If you don't want to see animation, just read manga. really stupid to be a person. What other anime are you looking for besides animation? damn lol

ISHOWNUT

I think this episode is still the same as the previous episode, there haven't been many changes. one word or one opinion from me. ANIME WITH POWERPOINT ANIMATION IS NOT WORTH SHOWING IT'S BETTER TO JUST READ THE MANGA IT'S TOO TRASH

e10

Voice acting, sound design, and OST carry so hard that it’s just barely worth watching even though I’ve read the manga. If they’re saving the resources for the U20 match then that’s cool but you shouldn’t have to put out rushed slop for the first few episodes to do that. Reminds me of what the long running weekly shonen series like Naruto and Black Clover did, which we really should have moved past by now especially if it’s a seasonal show.

kev

i think your recent blow up and yt relevance as an anime reactor has gotten to your head. youre wack af now

Patrick 16

Pls read the manga its really good

matteo nindido

gosh, it really is mostly still frames. and when there is movement, its either a png being slid across a screen or cgi.

Abigail Jerry

Haha after seeing the new DanDaDan episode… yeah, I take back what I said. The animation for blue lock is garbage right now. But I’m still gonna watch it 😅

원 지

Why do you ignore other people's opinions? He should be able to express his feelings honestly. And this show is a sports genre. But it doesn't move lol

Agiichan

Maybe we were supposed to wait till Isagi unlock his flow mode to unlock the animation? 😂 but in the serious note, seems like the studio really just struggles with the games animation - which is ironic, but that’s what we have. Thank you a lot for still giving it a chance. I love the story and wish that people who only watch anime could enjoy it too.

Hanmaakim

you didnt see the ninjustu of additional time haha

IzukuUzumaki

I like how he was calling shidou Shino 😂😂

KejSi

I would love to see u reacting to Summertime Render, trust me u will love it !!!

Ben

Completely agree with you on your points Nick!

mozzy

yep nick, that was nice ep. don't spoil us about the arcs tho.

Daemon TLH

people wont get this doe , they jus want reasons to complain , either dont overexpect , or jus dont watch lmfao , nothin ppl say is gon change the outcome

Daemon TLH

he talks so much about animation but knows so little , its hilarious lmao

Daemon TLH

nah since they got so much to say about it , let THEM work on the episodes n lets see if they say the same thing

idobegaysometimes

I agree that the episodes lack a lot of animation. But it's rarely because of the animators. It's almost always the people who give the animators work that plan it badly. Animators are overworked, underpaid, and some of their animation even get cut One of the main animators for Episode 1 and 2 was supposed to work on 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, but quit after 2. He saw that a lot of his animation work was cut due to deadlines, he even said that he added movement to a lot of scenes. Never blame the animators, they're usually not the ones at fault.

KAI

frame lock lmaooo

Daemon TLH

these idiots know nothing of animation or how the animation industry works , all they know how to do is complain but i bet if they’d had been the ones animating it , it would be 10x worse than what it actually is , im not sayin it’s amazing or anything but you gotta be considerate of the workers too , after all they’re doin all they can for these ungrateful ass viewers it’s really the higher ups that’s fucking up the production but as i said , these idiots wouldn’t know that

乙モれ工

are you fuckin dumb, or just an average idiot??? Yes the animators are not at fault, but the people that are responsible for the animation management are at fault, and that makes the animation company bad (Because they're employs of that animation company, and the company should've better managing system). No one has said the animators are bad but the animation company, yes it is a unfortunate situation for those animators that they're being included in these feedback, but at the same time they're the one who decided to go on with this project (No hate for the animators though). Again it really is the animation company who's at fault here, and they're getting negative feedback for what they did. Stop calling other's a idiot when you're one yourself.

Rigin

Most animes have a balance between freeze frames where nothing is happening, freeze frames where time is slowed down (to think usually), regular animation and buttery smooth sakuga, blue lock doesn't balance all of these, 90% of the episode is regular freeze frames or time is slowed down for the man to think, and even where we expect movement, it's usually pngs being scaled up or a 3D ball hitting two pngs, there's no balance

sash

u should see the additional time it’s really funny
