Praise for Blue Lock: Episode Nagi 1

Praise for the Blue Lock anime
"Undoubtedly one of the biggest anime franchises in the world...Blue Lock's biggest hook is how it goes against the typical conventions of sports anime by emphasizing individual talent over teamwork... A breath of fresh air." -Screen Rant

"With a unique premise and some truly killer animation to boot, it's easy to see why the series so frequently enters the discussion of the best ongoing anime." -Looper

"A soccer anime like no other...Blue Lock feels like a shock to the system. This is an anime that delivers the same kind of excitement and sense of achievement as a traditional sports anime but with the cutthroat thrills of a death game anime." -IGN
