Blue Lock Season 2: A Mixed Bag of Excitement and Concerns
The anime community is buzzing with anticipation for the second season of Blue Lock, a highly awaited series set to premiere this fall. However, the unveiling of the first trailer has sparked a wave of apprehension among fans, casting a shadow on what was expected to be a triumphant return.
Trailer Release Sparks Mixed Reactions
Recently, the official Blue Lock X account released the first trailer for season 2, a move typically met with enthusiasm and celebration. Instead, the animation by Studio eightbit has left many fans feeling uneasy. While the visual quality remains high, the animation itself appears rigid and lifeless compared to the dynamic fluidity of the first season. This discrepancy has dampened the excitement for what should have been a momentous occasion.
Underwhelming Animation Makes Fans Worry
The upcoming season is expected to adapt one of the series’ most thrilling arcs and matches, which has naturally heightened fan expectations. With the premiere just weeks away, the trailer’s animation quality has become a focal point of concern. Despite these worries, there are still positive elements to be found. The trailer showcases impressive character design, thoughtful composition, and some strong moments of character animation.
