Blue lock. Blue lock. Blue lock. How? How with a movie budget did you disappoint me this much? WARNING: SPOILERS So this is Blue Lock: Episode Nagi. I will say I havent read the manga so maybe the same problems plague the manga as well but still. This is hardly a movie. Anime Specials are more of a movie than this official movie. This movie is so mid that it took me a while to come up with enough characters to actually write a real review. I almost didnt because what is there to talk about? Its that much of a midmovie. Its not bad enough to rage over and but its not even good enough to get me hyped. So lets start with the good parts. Some of the animation is good. Not the best in Blue Lock but not the worst. The auras are at least not season 2 bad. In fact those auras are one of the best parts of the movie. I love how Nagis aura is galaxy theme. Its nice on the eyes and gives him this mysterious look about him. And the story per usual is good. It has good build up and good characters.. and the bits that they add are good Im glad we got to see these events from Nagis pov. But. We did not need it. Most of this movie is just recycled scenes from season 1. Line for line bar for bar. Some scenes are just completely unchanged. So for half the movie youre just rewatching the team Z vs Team V match just with different lines and some different scenes and a worst direct shot. It is not worth the 1andahalfhour length of this movie. And the fact that this movie is part of the reason that season 2 looks the way it does is just unforgiveable. Thats why Im so harsh because we didnt need this. Is it fun? Yeah. Is it interesting? Yeah. Is it worth checking out? No. Honestly they could have just thrown in some of this stuff in a flash back scene in season 1 and nothing would change. Sure it gives context to everything Nagi and Reo are but as a movie? No its not worth it. I was tempted to just turn it off cause it was starting to bore me. Blue lock the anime that got me into Soccer with how hyped it was with how cool it was bored me with a movie budget. All because the scenes were just the same scenes Ive already saw. And that is why I think this movie fails. It could have just been a tv special. It didnt have enough content to be 1andahalfhours long so they filled it with recycled scenes with different voice over. I love blue lock and it got me to love soccer. And when I went to watch this movie I was so hyped Blue lock an anime that is already really well animated with good action but this time with a movie budget This should be epic But this? Come on this is disappointing. This is the one time when Ill say dont watch this. Save yourself the disappointment. I can give it no higher than a 5/10 or 50/100 and thats with me being generous.
