This show is somewhat underappreciated for what it was; The way it was produced was noticeably small and focused in a lot of aspects but for what it is, it has a consistent blueprint as a show and progressed into something larger and more refined in comparison to its meager beginnings.
Animation (6/10) - It is a noticeable early 2000s anime by the way its aesthetics and animation quality was presented; It had a cookie cutter production value and easily on par with the shows from its time. Although to its credit, a lot of their action scenes has smooth movement flow on it, and
...
that would be its saving grace because it adds onto the detail for what it is.
Storyline (5.5) - Its storyline feels small and too linear. Although it is consistent but it feels like, if this is a bigger anime production like the sorts of Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, et al. The story of Samurai 7 would just be an arc from it. It was so underutilized, for the potential its idea has. The pacing as well feels a bit slow. Other than that, it had an alright and followable story.
Soundtrack (5) - Its soundtrack is very limited, in terms of songs; It only has like, three or four songs on its holster and the rest are just instrumentals and BGM utilized on the show. Although it has a noticeable pattern of using Traditional Japanese theme on their soundtracks list so, props for that thematic effort.

It is an anime that gives an insight on what it is like being a pop idol and public personalities behind the limelight, and the realities they are setting themselves in as they delve into the entertainment industry; It is a totally refreshing experience considering plots alike to this aren't being utilized as often.
Animation (6.5/10) - For today's standards in the 2020s, its animation quality is just on par with every anime shows that are being produced at the moment. No more, no less. Although, I would like to give an emphasis on some of its trademark such as a lot of sparkly and
...
dazzling overlays whenever there are performances, which is a great identifier for their show.
Storyline (7/10) - Since it has twin protagonists, it has a webbed storyline that focuses on the distinct goals per each of the two siblings. Each on how they would plot to achieve their objectives. It also did a good job on interconnecting those two despite their polar differences in personalities and making sufficiently, notable side characters.
Soundtrack (8.5/10) - Considering its storyline, it boasted a lot of well-known J-Pop soundtracks, coming even from YOASOBI, Kana Arima and more. Which is very thematic. A lot of them are enjoyable to listen onto, and most of it introduced a consistent theme of lively instrumentals and cutesy vocals.

A classic, shounen anime featuring arcs of adventure, tribulation, action-packed matchups, and notable characters for their characterization and backstories throughout the show. For me, I think it is an enjoyable show to watch. The only complaint I have was there wasn't enough in a way that the show ended abrupt, in my opinion.
Animation (7.5/10) - The animation quality and characteristic is already showing of its age as the quality of modern anime progresses; Nonetheless, I think it can be forgivable considering it came out for awhile now. Although for its time, I think it was alright. It wouldn't affect the experience much anyway, if you
...
give majority of your attention in the plot.
Storyline (9/10) - The way its storyline progresses is very linear, but is VERY rich and flexible at the same time. It follows a sensible chronological order of arcs, while also not being too fixated on the protagonist at the same time. It makes the side characters more personable and adds more weight to the contribution they provide on the plots. It was great.
Soundtrack (8/10) - A good majority of its soundtracks for the opening were inspiration-inducing; Very fitting for a shounen anime. But it also has a lot of versatility throughout. A lot of it were masterful for the atmospheres and emotions they want to set in. For example, Uvo's Rquiem, Phantom Troupe Theme and Hisoka's Theme. Check it out and you'll see what I'm talking about.

It is a certified classic, sports anime from the 90s and is enjoyable to watch all throughout, even to this day and age in my opinion. My only complaint is that after Season 1 it didn't had any continuation. Which is a shame because, it had an underlying potential for a longer run.
Animation (6/10) - Honestly speaking, its animation was alright for its time. But on this day and age with anime series like as Demon Slayer, One Punch Man and Jujutsu Kaisen; It's more than seemingly that it doesn't stand the tests of time. A lot of recycled frames and still image used. But
...
still, we have to remember — It came out in 1993 with also a limited budget. Cut some slack.
Storyline (8/10) - For a sports-based anime, it has a very enjoyable story to follow through. Since it is only 101 episodes long, it doesn't have much fillers and for a time era where stacking those (because of TV Airing) was very prevalent so, extra points on that one. Very action-packed, and mostly consistent for its following theme. Pretty neat.
Music (7/10) - It had a very limiting number of soundtracks. But to their credit, a lot of them were going hard. And the mood those songs has are very suiting for its time period which was 90s-esque. For the sound effects it was very repetitive too but since its story progression is quite action-packed, it can be more forgiving.
