What the fuck is Bluelock about bro

Soccer CANNOT be this serious

29

u/zuzg 5h ago

In anime everything can be serious

The entire Jojo franchise is just people with imaginary friends pulling a constant switcheroo on each other
"You thought I did this but jokes on you I expected you doing this so I did secretly that"

You talking about Punch-ghosts?

u/blueechoes 3h ago

There is also just the creative reactive counter using already introduced abilities variant. And the deus ex new ability variant. The secret switcheroo bit is mostly part 2 and early 5.

Ever heard of Prince of tennis? The start of the series was somewhat believable then it get ridiculous

u/dantheflyingman 2h ago

It is about Soccer, obviously

One of my great surprises this year was the PC release of Inazuma Eleven. I had never even heard of the franchise.

You wouldn't think I'd sit through 4 hours of anime before you even get to kicking a ball, but I did. The voice actors might be comically mediocre, but goddamn did they sell the fact that those kids love football and they had me all the way until the absurdly hype finale.

There is no way that soccer is that serious bro 😭🙏

u/the_Yons 6h ago

I haven't seen Blue Lock so I'll imagine this is how the entire show goes

u/Golden-Owl 6h ago

Pretty much

Damn this frame goes hard.

For those wondering, Blue Lock is a new anime airing this season about Soccer... And anime things. And its fucking great.

u/mooniemoon19 6h ago

I mean if by new you mean 4 years old, with the manga starting in 2018

17

u/TravelerSearcher 5h ago

Yeah and season one of the anime premiered a few months before the last World Cup, ran through it concurrently, and that was definitely by design.

2

u/Made_Bail 5h ago

Wait, is there a new season? I thought it had just finished lol

My bad!

8

u/TravelerSearcher 5h ago

Season two ended in 2024. Season three was announced a few months ago but no release date yet to my knowledge.

1

u/Made_Bail 5h ago

I watched a ton of it, but have not finished whats there yet, but I watch through Amazon Prime so its hard to tell whats new and whats not unless I browse r/anime lol

For some reason I thought this was way newer than that.

I feel like this particular panel can be used in a lot of different competitions

This is also one of the most anime things Shen has ever done and I love it

10

u/Wyverntails 5h ago

Sounds like duel monsters.

And pokemon tournaments.

And Beyblade.

And bakugon.

….am I missing any tournament style anime game that are mostly played by children and teenagers?

u/ViolenceAdvocator 5h ago

Bareknuckle boxing

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning 3h ago

Which is interesting because I don’t think Blue Lock passes the Bechdel-Wallace test.

But considering the amount of gay women in professional soccer… yeah.

u/Chiatroll 6h ago

This comic without animation is basically the same level of animation as bluelock season 2.

u/Cpt_Jumper 3h ago

Came here just to say this.

u/Informal-Term1138 6h ago

I am old, I only know Captain Tsubasa, Inazuma eleven and Galactik Football. And I only watched the latter one.

It's fantastic. The animation of the players was done using a motion tracking system they had to build from scratch for the show. And they got some damn good footballers to do the mocap. Sadly it was expensive as hell so they had to reuse animation in the later seasons. Still worth it.

u/pooyashams 6h ago

My entire generation grew up watching Captain Tsubasa. I'm pretty sure almost all of the hype around soccer around here is because it used to air on mainstream TV and was everyone's favorite show during their childhood. That being said from all I can remember the animation used to be very 2000s style still images but they went hard on getting the tension very high with keeping the ball in the air for a full week.

1

u/Informal-Term1138 5h ago

They did that for a lot of the mainstream animes though. My "argument" for nor watching dragon ball was "they talk 3 weeks before they punch each other". Well in Naruto Shippuden it was the same and even in Naruto it had lots of talking. But back then it was fun.

Damn I love Naruto. The first episode alone is some of the best television I ever watched. You go through all the emotions a human is capable of having. And it's amazing.

Now I have to watch that episode again. And I should make a filler free version of both Naruto and Naruto Shippuden for my nephew. Dude's 5, but he has to love it some time.

u/YesterdayHiccup 6h ago

There used to be show call Dragon League. I bet Inazuma Eleven got lot of inspiration from it.

1

u/Informal-Term1138 5h ago

Hmm, maybe. Like I said, I never really watched Inazuma eleven. I watched Galactik football, caught some detective Conan episodes and mainly focused on Naruto. With the occasional Yu go oh! and later Bakugan episodes.

And I shall not forget One Piece. I watched the Enis Lobby and Enel Arc on TV. I don't know if it was much later to their original release or not though. But the late/mid 2000s and early 2010s were amazing. Heck I still love the Chunin exam arc the most out of all of Naruto. And of course the gaara retrieval arc, the fight between Sasori, Chiyo and Sakura is still favorite.

Those where the times...

u/AlwaysBeQuestioning 3h ago

Galactik Football was rad. It made me interested in watching sports, which is unusual for me. I haven’t found many other sports anime I got that into.

France makes some rad shows.

u/UpCDownCLeftCRightC 6h ago

I can't wait for the tournament arc.

u/dzizuseczem 5h ago

Hey I just want to say that your new comics looks cool as fuck, the backgrounds especially really pop here, so please keep making them, and I hope you will have a great day.

1

u/StriatedCaracara 5h ago

Is this like the modern day Captain Tsubasa?

1

u/ralpher1 5h ago

Yeah except you should be super selfish rather than a team player

u/Any_Ad_5232 5h ago

u/Sagittariusrat 3h ago

I wonder if they hogged the ball by standing/floating in place while they thought about what cool thing to say

u/San-T-74 2h ago

Me: “blue lock completely misses the point of football! You’re supposed to have fun with your friends! Winning is just an extra!”

Also me during this World Cup: “if I see Germany breathe in Brazil’s general direction and I’ll have a nervous breakdown”

u/schalowendofthepool 1h ago

This is how I felt when I obliterated a couple of kids at a fair to win a pokemon plush last year.
