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:)

"Blue lock : The Movie Episode : Nagi" is a cinematic masterpiece. It tells the full story of the anime in Nagis point of view in the best way possible and delves into the charecter of Nagi soo much. And the ending and end credits scene was perfect. I loved the whole "Isagi is the villain and Nagi is the hero" style of the story, and the score of the film was perfect. The theatre experience made the movie even better. My only complaint was that it went thru the matches a little too fast, but that isn't really a complaint. Overall, the movie captured the story of the original anime and manga and shot it perfectly. Must recommend for anime, football lovers and to the people who watched the anime or read the manga.

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.

"Nagi" is a bit of a loafer at school. Quite happy to play video games all day only interrupted by the odd nap and food when he absolutely has to. Then he encounters "Reo" - a very wealthy boy with purple hair and purple eyes - who sees in him skills that would make him an excellent addition to their football team. "Nagi" is completely indifferent to this proposal, but his new friend persists and with promises of becoming the best striking partnership the world has ever seen, he manages to induce just the merest hint of fire in "Nagi" - and they become inseparable and unstoppable. This earns them the attention of the Japanese Football Union and both are invited to attended the most competitive football school in the whole nation - the "Blue Lock". It's here that the two - along with a few hundred other aspiring young men - must grow up and learn how to win, lose, play in a team - and this tests their friendship as "Nagi" starts to emerge from the protective and encouraging umbrella of "Reo". Though it's based on a series, this is an enjoyable stand alone film that is quickly paced and written quite poignantly to expose the characters (and us) to some of the difficulties of maturing, making tough choices and getting used to not having everything your own way. At times it's actually quite an emotional animation with plenty to play for and no easy answers.

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.
