Blue Lock is one of the most highly anticipated fall anime. It’s a sports anime aimed at a shonen audience that looks promising thanks to its adrenaline-pumping sports and action sequences. The sports anime centers on Yoichi Isagi, an ordinary high schooler, who is invited into Ego Jinpachi’s Blue Lock program, where he competes against 299 other players for the title of the world’s greatest egoist striker. Unlike other sports anime, Blue Lock focuses on individual performance levels rather than teamwork. Japan needs an egoist striker who will score the most goals not for the team but for himself to win the World Cup.
Will Blue Lock Be Dubbed in English?
Yes, Blue Lock will be dubbed in English, according to Crunchyroll’s previous announcement of its fall anime dub releases. In fact, Crunchyroll released the first English dubbed episode of Blue Lock on October 22, 2022. The second episode will be streamed the following week. Crunchyroll usually announces more details about an anime’s English dub a month after the premiere of its pilot episode. In that regard, it takes time for an anime to get an English dub because there are so many factors to consider. In fact, English dub anime releases are a labor of hard work, requiring translations, script writing, casting, and recording. While Crunchyroll offers simuldub releases, the streaming platform does not always include shows that do not have a strong presence in the season lineup.
