Very entertaining and with a nice art, but follow the formula of all the sports anime (which I love, btw) and ends up not distinguishing itself.

Also, I would have liked the love story to be developed, but I guess that would be asking too much.

Don't all sports anime follow the particular formula? I was also looking forward to the romance bit, but I guess it was jsut for comic relief.

I've currently only seen up to Episode 33, and so far it's not bad, but it's not exactly outstanding, either.

If you ask me, it follows not only the sports formula, but also the same formula that many shonen anime of the era followed.
The characters don't do much to make themselves stand out from the other typical shounen characters that we see time and time again, and the story doesn't differentiate itself, either.

When it comes down to it, it just seems like an entertaining show that I've enjoyed my time with thus far, but seems like it isn't a very memorable or iconic one.

I give it a 7/10 currently, and that's probably where it'll stay unless it starts to really wow me.
