If you’re wondering when the Blue Lock anime adaptation is set to come out, here’s everything you need to know.
Written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura, Blue Lock has taken the manga world by storm over the past year or so. WIth Haikyuu’s anime coming to a close in the next few years, this could very well be the next big sports anime to fill that void.
Blue Lock Anime Release Date
The Blue Lock anime series is set to premiere on October 8, 2022. The premiere was announced just a few months back, alongside a new trailer showing off its stunning animation and all the Team Z boys.
We also got some key art for the series, again showing off the main cast on Team Z. It’s likely that we’ll get more news about an exact release date in the next month or so, and we’ll update this article once that information is released.
What Will the First Season Cover?
We don’t have any info on just how much of the manga content will be covered in the first season of the anime, but judging by how the chapters are split up, we can speculate.
Going by other anime releases, it’s likely that Blue Lock’s first season will have about 20 to 25 episodes. With that in mind, the season will probably cover the entire first selection arc, right up until the introduction of Rin Itoshi and Team A.
This means that we’ll probably see Team V, along with other iconic characters like Reo Mikage and Nagi Seishiro before we’re left with a cliffhanger teasing Rin’s appearance.
