Blue Lock Der Film - Episode Nagi

As a blue lock fan i was really looking forward to watch the movie. I think it wasnt bad as most of the review said but it wasnt a masterpiece either. I wont really recommend watching this before The blue lock tv series because (as i expected) they just recapped and took out a lot of thing. The tv show itself is better than the movie but it still worths to watch the movie.

Now to the movie: i found the background music kinda weird, there wasnt any plot twist, as i mentioned its more like a recap. It doesnt contains really flashy things and wont get you addicted to. Its just a slow movie for people to rewatch the tv show without actually spending 48 hours on it.

But i liked it:)

Whenever there's an anime showing in cinemas, I always try to find some spare time to watch it, hoping my support will lead to more anime being shown on the big screen in my home country. However, this time I was so disappointed that I wanted to leave the cinema before the end. The movie is lazy and mediocre in everything it does-from average animation and reusing the same frames multiple times to showing information via a wall of text. The pacing is off - rushing through all the original parts introduced from Nagi and Mikage's points of view and essentially recapping the second half of the movie with events from the anime/manga. Also lacking in any interesting songs, some parts of the movie don't even have background music for longer periods of time.

If you're already familiar with the Blue Lock story, Nagi and Mikage's points of view, which show their narrative and motivation, aren't compelling enough to warrant watching. If you're unfamiliar with Blue Lock, I recommend going for the TV series or the Shounen Magazine serialization. The movie's pacing, skipping key plot elements, and lack of character introduction and backstory will result in a miserable and confusing experience.

This film is supposed spinning off from Blue Lock, which is in the shonen literary magna genre. It geared towards younger readers, emphasized supposed idea of friendship, that cover sport/jock themed situations.

But this film has so much homoerotic tensions (characters' partial nudity, hyped up illustrated bodies, etc.) which is not a bad thing. It's just a little awkward in western perspectives but the story is tight.

Animation is just great to watch, making soccer interesting. The story of Reo and Nagi, as they challenge their "friendship" through soccer tournaments. They finds themselves always questioning their commitment towards each other.

Please watch only if you are supportive of Anime (and all of its intentional genres). Soundtrack is good with optical effects plumus voice talent is excellent with occasionally comedic jokes. Best in Japanese with English subtitles!

What i can say. This Anime Movie is clearly a Masterpiece that i wanted to watch. There's no other movies from that genre where i was bored to watch (and trust me, i watched alot). The Movie tells the story of a boy named Seishiro Nagi who is not interested in football at first and is not interessed to everything and is a torment to him. But after that Reo Mikage notices "that something" in him and then Nagi discovers it himself. I don't want to spoil the plot of the film too much, because it is definitely worth watching by yourself. But yes: The script is real gold, it's like a "Slice of Life" from the lives of Nagi and Reo (but it focuses mostly on Nagi). I watched this movie with great pleasure and if a sequel ever comes out I will definitely watch it, because the first part did not disappoint me on any level. My Final Rating 10/10 DEFINITELY WORTH IT.
