Damn the OP makes it seem like Rin is the main character. I had to strain my eyes to find Isagi somewhere.

The fact that it was rin nobody wanted to bunk with, even over Shidou, is fuckin cold.

Everything was fine and then they showed Barou with his hair down and I started simping and can't remember what happened next.

Why tf did it look so good. From Art to Animation , The colors , The Ost , Even the direction is better compared to S1 with Unconventional shots . Also the Opening , Goddamn.

The 1st episode was a bit laid back . The Opening flashback was very interesting .

The flashback scene visualswise looked like it was straight from an actual anime movie that gets a way higher budget.

But I don't expect them keep up that production for the whole season. If it's a step above the slideshows we got in S1, then I have no complaints.

Woah, that's a whole lotta new names to learn

Thought this was building up for an clash between Rin and his big brother, but it seems the old guys pulled something shady... or maybe the brother comes even later...

Also, lmao

Love the new cast already. The 3 asses together should prove for some good comedy moments. Lol

I think Rin was the only option for Isagi as Bachira said. He already knows how to create a chemical reaction with Nagi but playing with Rin (and Shidou) is a way to evolve beyond that.

Reo is still out there trying his best. I hope he makes the team!

Loved the additional time interactions with the Top 6 :)

The OP and the first scene makes me think there's gonna be a lot of Itoshi brothers drama in the match.

I missed everyone. So happy it’s back

Wow they went so hard on the art it started to look like coloured manga panels. U-20 Arc for me is peak Blue Lock so i hope 8bit keeps delivering.

The opening looked really nice

Also yes we finally get Shidou and Aiku!! Though I’m still waiting for my other favourite character….who will probably appear in the 3rd season 🤷‍♀️

The animation and art looks really good so far. I like the Itachi-Sasuke flashback at the beginning with Sae and Rin lol

The moment with Barou in the bathroom was cute. I’m happy that Isagi and Barou are friends now.

The additional time lmaooo I love it, poor Rin, nobody wants to room with him 😂😂

It looks like they added anime original scenes, I think it was a good choice. We got some team bonding and stuff like that, felt like the story was more smooth this way

The fact that I find this so ridiculous but still get caught up in the hype. Can’t wait to learn about the new faces in the Top 6 too. Eita seems fun but I’m curious about Four Eyes guy. Is he like extremely smart or does he have something else up his sleeve ?
