The ‘Blue Lock’ anime is going to have a tremendous 2024 between the premiere of its movie and the return of the series
He had his fans in suspense since the end of the first season, but this year is going to be great if we like ‘Blue Lock’. For starters, ‘Blue Lock: Episode Nagi’, a spin-off film focused on Nagi Seishiro’s beginnings as a player, will premiere in theaters on July 5. We will be able to see it on the big screen and in both the original and Spanish versions, but the return of the anime series is also just around the corner.
In a small bottle
We already knew that the second season of ‘Blue Lock’ would return with the fall anime season, and now it has been confirmed that the new anime has its release date definitive for next October 5.
Now, taking into account that the first season of the anime consisted of 24 episodes, many of us expected that the second season would have a similar length. Unfortunately, 8-Bit has confirmed that The second season will be a little shorter than the first. and we will only be left with 14 episodes.
This makes all the sense in the world. Because although the original manga by Muneyuki Kaneshiro has been published since 2018 and already has 29 volumes, If the anime continued at that pace with the adaptation it will end up catching up with the manga very quickly. To put ourselves in a situation, with chapter 24 of the anime it was adapted to chapter 94 of the manga, which is the first 11 volumes.
If we continued with this rhythm of long seasons, with the second season we would perhaps end up in the middle of volume 22 or 23 and its broadcast would have to be stopped for a while to give more space to the manga. And, furthermore, with a shorter season, the anime studio can also allow itself to show off a little more and refine the final finish even more.
