Initially i did not think i would like this show however there is something so refreshing and lovely to me about the characters and how their bonds develop even within such a short period of time. I wont give it a 9 or 10 because it isnt complete but i truly believe it is worthy of a solid 8 based on what we have seen so far. I of course know the show isnt perfect, there are inconsistencies with the animation and other aspects which do affect the overall show however the best way i can describe the show is lustre. There is something about
...
it (in my opinion the characters and their bonds) that make up for those other things. I felt emotionally invested, all the highs and lows really had my heart racing and it was very far from boring, the mal ratings surprise me to be honest because i believe this was super enjoyable. I really cannot wait for season 2!
the art was a solid 7, i love how the characters look and the obscure hairstyles for certain characters but the brightness (?) or colour scheme (yall im ngl i cant explain this part well idk the correct terms) was a tad bit off putting at first, it just seemed a little too bright. That aside it was quite nice and i liked it.
sound: Very good and fitting, never felt out of place. 8/10
character: easily a 9, Hands down one of my favourite main characters is now natsusa. He reminds me of a combo of saiki and tsukkishima but also has aspects that are so different and unique from any character i have seen. Aside from the main character, i was shocked by how well certain side characters were developed in such a short period of time. Of course some side characters felt like the classic background character with no purpose other than to shine light on the mains however considering the amount of characters and the length of the series this was a given. The characters have a very special place in my heart already.
Enjoyment: 8/10, it at times was annoying for me to understand what was going on during actual games, sometimes it was difficult to see the scores to be honest but aside from that it was extremely enjoyable.
overall: 8/10. I cannot in good faith give it a 9 or a 10, the flaws the show has whilst far from deal breaking are there nonetheless, however the lustre and appeal this show has is quite unique if despite certain imminent flaws the enjoyment across the board is still so high. I hope these flaws can be corrected a little in season 2 and this same character complex is continued.
