Blue Lock Season 2 Episode 6 English Sub
Review
The episode added scenes before the U-20 game that were not present in the manga. I didn’t know the U-20 game took place inside the Blue Lock facility. The scenes with the parents walking into the stadium and showcasing Japan’s culture added depth. It emphasized how no one believed in Blue Lock except for the parents of the players. This setup made the stakes of the match feel higher.
The Walkout Disappointment
The anime failed to capture the intensity of the team walking onto the field compared to the manga. In the manga, you could feel the atmosphere and hear the crowd through the panels. The anime, however, lacked this impact. The animation made the moment feel flat, with stiff movements and lifeless visuals.
Animation Issues During the Match
Once the match began, the feeling of the U-20 showdown was completely lost. The animation relied heavily on still frames, making the game feel like a slideshow rather than an intense battle. Even moments like Barou’s dribbling felt unremarkable, and the overall animation quality did not meet expectations for such a pivotal moment.
The Red Snake Controversy
The decision to make Iku’s snake red was baffling. It doesn’t align with his character design or fan interpretations. This change felt unnecessary and disconnected from the source material.
Cultural and Emotional Disconnect
The anime adaptation lacks the emotional weight and movement that the manga delivers effortlessly. The stiff visuals and poor animation make the anime feel like a lesser version of the manga. It’s disappointing, especially for fans who experienced the intensity of this match in the manga.
Conclusion and Final Thoughts
This episode of Blue Lock season two, while narratively important, failed to live up to expectations due to poor animation and adaptation choices. The manga captures the stakes and emotions far better. I encourage anime only viewers to read the manga for the full experience.
