Kenkou Zenrakei Suiei-bu Umishou

Heartfelt Slice of Life comedy that captures the drama and misadventures of sports teams plus the struggles of adolescence beautifully. This anime was suggested to me by a friend and while sport-themed fiction is not really my forte, I love how it addresses young love, teamwork, overcoming self-doubt and doing ones best regardless of the odds. While the main love story between Kamane and Amuro is one that is all too familiar, I nevertheless enjoyed it along with the craziness their fellow teammates bring about. The passion, outrageous hilariousness and relatable air blend together well making it a joy to watch. Whether you play/love sports ... or not, it's just the sort of anime to inspire, uplift and show to people that it's okay if you fall from time to time-as long as you don't give up and stand by those who believe in you, you can accomplish a great deal. Certainly has made me eager to read the manga as well.

HIDDEN GEM HIDDEN GEM HIDDEN GEM... yes this anime is indeed hidden gem, you might get lured in thanks to ecchi tag, but this anime isnt good cause of its ecchi scenes, but cause of vibes it gives, I watched this while back, and we really need second season.

You might ask: why the hell did you give 10/10 to this old anime? Art in demon slayer is much better, but you gave this 10... SO I will stop you there, look how old this anime is, and than talk!


whats the point of reading this review, if you are thinking about watching it... watch it ... right now! You wont regret even second. To make this review longer, I prepared some final words: You will never know how good this anime is.. if you never watch it!

Ah, another one I watched that I shouldn't have watched, I knew I shouldn't have watched it before I watched it and during watching it I kept telling myself; "drop it, drop it, drop it". I didn't, good anime are in short supply these days so I guess I'll have to watch the bad ones instead.

There was one good scene in this anime and that scene saved it from being a 2. Instead it's a 3, which is very bad. The reason for this bad rating is that this anime was bad. Why? Let's begin with the animation. Animation is basics in anime. This anime ... was made in the year of 2007. The year of 2007 is not a year of the stoneage when fire had been discovered just the other day, it is the year TTGL was made, one of the best animes when it comes to animation and art that has ever been made. Don't get me wrong, I am quite aware that the production budgets for the two animes were on different levels completely. Still in the yar 2007 I would expect better than something made in the late 80's.

Now let's move on to the story. What story? The story of Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho, a great story. A story so ellaborate and complex that I fear nothing is ever going to compare. No but really, there was no real story in this anime. There were some haphazardly loose plot fragments here and there, some girl living on some sort of floating plank construction drifiting in from the sea that didn't really feel like the main female lead, she felt like something thrown in for fanservice. Did I mention the fanservice? There's alot of it in this anime and the thing is, it's not even good. I don't like fanservice in anime especially when it is not called for, if fanservice is required for story development or character development then by all means. If you want to see that sort of thing go watch hentai intead.

Characters are important in anime. Now that short sentence should be sufficient to rate this anime a 3. The characters in this anime were poorly drawn, poorly timed and had very, very, very poor character development. Interaction between the characters felt so fake that I laughed most of the time whenever seeing two characters on screen at the same time.

In conclusion; I don't think anyone should watch this anime, mostly because it's bad, but also because it's really bad. Now I am sure there are fanboys even for this, something I truly can not, for my life, understand.
