New Blue Lock Season 2 Trailer Leaves Fans Worried About Its Animation

by

As a seasoned anime fan with countless hours under my belt, I must confess that the upcoming “Blue Lock” season 2 has me both excited and apprehensive. The first season was a masterful blend of soccer action, character development, and high-stakes drama, making it one of the best sports anime in recent years. However, the latest trailer for season 2 seems to have left fans, including myself, a tad concerned about its animation quality.

Autumn has arrived, and for anime enthusiasts, it signifies an influx of new premieres approaching. Unbeknownst to some, October signals the commencement of the next phase in anime releases, and several highly anticipated series are scheduled to debut. Ranging from “Dandadan” to “Dragon Ball Daima,” many are eagerly awaiting October, with “Blue Lock” leading the list of must-watch shows. Recently, we’ve been offered a sneak peek at season two before its premiere, but the promotional material has left some fans concerned about its animation quality.

This exclusive trailer, hailing from the creators of Blue Lock, Eight Bit, offers a glimpse at our protagonist Yoichi Isagi in intense soccer battles against top-tier opponents. Given that the search for Japan’s most arrogant soccer player is ongoing, there’s still plenty for Isagi to demonstrate. As we approach season two, fans of Blue Lock can anticipate thrilling matches and high tension. However, some fans are expressing concerns about potential poor animation quality in season two.

Blue Lock Season 2 Is Under Attack for Its Animation

It appears that from the trailers thus far, Blue Lock season two seems to be causing some apprehension among fans due to its brief duration and limited display of dynamic action sequences. Contrary to expectations, this most recent trailer has been criticized for its ‘slideshow’ animation style instead of showcasing Eight Bit Studio’s capabilities as it did in season one. The art style of Blue Lock is quite distinctive, and Eight Bit Studio successfully captured it in the first season, but fans are hoping for more engaging visuals in the upcoming season.

In the trailer for Blue Lock, the character designs are impressive, but the action appears rather dull. The ‘slideshow’ comparison seems apt given some scenes transition abruptly or flow slowly. Soccer being the sport it is, there’s always plenty of action, and Blue Lock doubles down on that. Given that it’s an anime sports thriller, its players have abilities beyond those of regular athletes. However, in this teaser, we don’t get to witness much of that extraordinary athleticism.

Blue Lock Is One of Anime’s Top Sports Series

Anticipation for the return of “Blue Lock” in fall is palpable, as fans eagerly await the release of season 2 on October 5, with original director Tetsuaki Watanabe once again at the helm. Despite some reservations following the latest trailer, the sports anime boasts a strong reputation built on its successful first season and recent film adaptations. The question remains: Will season 2 be able to meet the high expectations set by its predecessors?
