Although this show was corny from the start, Season 1 was decent enough to keep me watching for the interesting twists. It felt like watching Alice in Borderland if football were the game involved. The characters were interesting, and I felt bad for Kunigami and the guy eliminated by Isagi in the very first episode.

But Season 2 is such a disappointment. The animation is so bad that I couldn't even focus on the story. It's not like the previous season was flawless; there were some bad CGI moments too. But it wasn't as pathetic as this atrocity. At this point, Blue Lock the anime is just a meme. If the creators are only painting manga panels (with slideshow-like movements), I'd rather just read the manga.

If you think that I'm being too harsh on this show, let me tell you I just finished Haikyu yesterday and today had to suffer the weekly episode of this mediocrity.

For a moment, I thought Kenma was going to have his Joe Yabuki moment! The makers made a good decision by adapting the Dumpster Battle match into a single film instead of making a whole season out of it. I haven't read the manga, but I can say that the match didn't lack anything that the previous seasons had. It follows a similar structure with character arcs, flashbacks, and thrilling moments. I hope either the final film is longer than this or that there are more films lined up to cover the rest of the chapters because there are quite a lot of them left to animate. Overall, this film delivers an enjoyable experience for all fans.
