    Thank you for not being another reactor complaining about the animation. Although, you were the the only one I cared about their inputs on the animation.

      Honestly, the animation is not that bad. We’ve seen worse.
      It really angers me how everyone was making videos or how shitty it is and saying that they messaged the VAs to see if the U-20 would get better and telling us that it would not. I honestly think that they were just farming clicks/views. Cuz so far, the U-20 episode has been giving chills. So I just stopped listening to the haters and now I just watch the reactors that I genuinely care about their opinion, like Donny.

      @@nauvir2046 I get it, you're enjoying the show, and that's fine. But liking something doesn't make it immune to criticism or invalidate others' dissatisfaction. If anything, dismissing legitimate complaints as 'hate' only shows a lack of understanding of where those criticisms come from.
      Let's be clear: the problem isn't about people being angry for the sake of it. It's disappointment, plain and simple. Kaneshiro's manga is a masterpiece in visual storytelling-a consistent 9/10 in aesthetics. When fans see that artistry reduced to stiff, lifeless frames, they're not just being picky; they're mourning a wasted chance.
      The lack of animation this season isn't subjective. Animators themselves had to clarify why it was so bad, distancing themselves from the production's mismanagement. That's not something fans made up.
      Imagine waiting three years to see one of the most beloved arcs in sports manga history brought to life, only to get what essentially feels like a glorified slideshow. Can you honestly say that wouldn’t feel like a slap in the face? a bit of an insult to the fans...
      No one is attacking the story, the VAs, the soundtrack, or even the overall design. The issue is solely with the animation, and the outrage is to some degree justified. Season 1, while not flawless, didn’t draw this level of backlash because it delivered on the basics.
      You can enjoy it all you want-that’s your prerogative. But dismissing criticism as 'farming clicks/views' only weakens your argument. If the anime-only audience isn't complaining, it's because they don't know what they're missing. Manga readers do, and that's why this season feels like such a betrayal.
      You should try to understand why people got so mad now and not during season 1, before labeling them as just haters

      @@enricomusaj7641 Alright, let me reply by parts in order.
      1- No, I’d never say they are immune to criticism. I do agree that the first 4 episodes of season 2 were a disappointing slideshow. I did a comment about it on another channel comparing season 1’s animation to those episodes. I was dissatisfied too.
      2- I mourned the wasted chance too. In that comment I compared Isagi’s heel kick (my favorite goal from season 1) to Shidou’s kick from episode 2. Also the auras coming from their eyes I thought that it could have been like the episode where Isagi devoured Naruhaya’s off the ball movement, which could have been applied to those episodes, but they didn’t. So I got frustrated too.
      3- This may be true for those first episodes, but it did got better later on. I’m not saying that the fans made that up. They spoke the truth back then.
      4- Well, yes, it indeed is a slap to the face, given that 3 years passed since last season. Arcane fans would have felt the same if the season 2 was looking like shit too. But altho the animation of Arcane was none less than a masterpiece, it had other major issues that made fans upset (I could list them all, but we are not talking about Arcane. But for quick mention: extremely quick pacing, lack of important characters to Zaun and Piltover, pointless deaths). Point is: nobody will ever be fully pleased.
      5- When I mentioned the VAs thing, I didn’t mean to say that they were attacking them. The youtuber that made the video said that they messaged a VA asking if the U-20 would get better. And they said that it wouldn’t get better. They also said that they changed directors and most of the staff. This last part idk 100% if it’s true or not, so I won’t say it was a lie. But the part where they said that the U-20 would be just downhill, is a complete lie to me. The last few episodes released gave me literally chills. And from all the reactors I’ve seen so far, they are hyped too.
      6- That was the whole point of my comment: they lied about the future of season 2. The first episodes were a slap in the face, yes. But it did got better after. So why lie by saying that the VAs said that the animation won’t get better during the U-20 match? That’s what angers me. It just makes ppl lose hope. I believed that it would get better and they said it was pure copium and bs. So yeah, “hater” may be the wrong word, I should have said “pessimists”. I’m optimist, which gets me labeled many times with “copium”. Is it wrong that I want to have hope? I’m a manga reader too. But I have better things to do other than hating on the animation and saying “This s*it wont get better. Believe me, I talked to the VAs”. Again: I won’t say that the animation was perfect top notch mind blowing in those first episodes, but I had hope for the main event, and it paid off.
      7- So yes, I’m angry at those who’ve been shitting on the future of this season. I won’t say it’s immune to criticism, but same way I labeled them as “haters” they are labeling fans like me with “copium”. We are 2 sides of the same coin.
      Thing is: those who talked s*it about the future of this season won’t admit that it got better. Nobody will ever be satisfied, we can’t please everyone. I’m only asking that ppl stop bothering those who are truly enjoying. They are free to critic all they want, but keep it to yourself, instead of influencing others to drop the show. That’s all.

    About Isagi's flame: As far as i know his flame is always that light green it was in this episode, but there was 2 exceptions, one was when he played against Naruhaya in season 1, who has an orange flame, and when Isagi "devour" Naruhaya's skill, his movement off the ball, he kinda assimilated Naruhaya's flame, so his flame was orange for a bit and then turned green again, showing that Isagi made Naruhaya's skill into his own. The second case was in the movie, where he had a blue flame, but o think that was a thing of the movie, because most people had blue flames, except Nagi.

    I appreciate your positive take to the animation a lot. I read the manga, and yea I'm not gonna lie, I expected to get more motion clarity and more understanding of player positions in the anime, which didn't happen and did dissapoint me. But the story is still there! Not just the story, but the visual storytelling. Some imagine it like separate teams, like the animation team dropping the bag while the art or composition team popped off. I kinda think of it like that. Yes, "PNG Lock" Or PNG's moving across the screen a lot of the time is pretty true. But the composition along with it, and some true drawn in animation here or there, still goes hard!
    What I can easily disagree with though is there's some panels in the manga that were great, and they were replaced with unstellar panels here. Thinking when we first see the U20 field. Still though, there's some good here.

    The art of Blue Lock s2 is unmatched. The issue people have had with it is that it adapts the manga to the point where at times it feels more like a series of beautiful, still images, rather than actual animation. It's unfortunate, but it's what we have so I'm happy you can appreciate it for what it is.

    • @mura_saki
      @mura_saki 2 дні тому +1

      The thing is, "adapting" the manga doesn't mean copy it one for one, it means change it so that it fits the medrim, this one being animation, so to that point it 90% isn't even animation, its just a colored manga with moving effects (some that they dont even animate, theyre just color overlays where you put 1 number fluctiating to another number) I can say this as an animator myself, especially with all the things being said, please complain. PLEASE. I'm not sure if it's only 1 person animating the whole season (it likely isn't) or the more plausible theory that a bunch of animators just left after realising how bad it was gonna be, the fact of the matter is this studio mustn't be supported. Yes pitty the animators, but never excuse a big corporation for taking too much projects, overworking their animators, or even the rumors of them cutting out the work of the animators that had already been done to make the anime at least look like it's moving. They didn't need to make a movie about nagi, and they certainly didn't need to work on season 2 at the same time they were working on the movie, the studio wants money and that's it. Yes appreciate the work the animators did, but don't make excuses for a bad product made by a greedy studio.
