Synopsis

In beach volleyball, there is no room for aces. To achieve victory, each player must find their one, irreplaceable partner that they can rely on in the court of sand. At least, that is what Haruka Oozora learns on her first day in Okinawa after moving in with her grandmother and her cousin Kanata Higa. While touring a nearby beach, Haruka stumbles upon some girls practicing beach volleyball and is quickly invited to join. This friendly practice game suddenly turns into a match when one of the girls, Narumi Tooi, notices Kanata approaching the court.

Although the two suffer a devastating defeat, Haruka finally realizes the reason for her cousin’s quiet and distant behavior. Kanata and Narumi used to be an exceptionally talented beach volleyball duo, until Kanata quit due to her short height causing problems for Narumi. Now, with the Junior Tournament just weeks away, Haruka must learn the intricacies of competitive beach volleyball and help Kanata overcome her crippling anxiety towards the sport that she once used to love.

It's summer and you absolutely crave the sea, the beach and beautiful girls doing sports. But then you remember that you live 100 km from any body of water.
Or you live in a remote village with 80 inhabitants, where the prettiest girl is your cousin and has a moustache.

Here comes Harukana receive! We are on the fabulous beaches of Okinawa, the protagonists are Haruka, who has just moved to the island and her cousin Kanata. The two girls are completely opposite, both temperamentally and physically, but they will come together and pair up to play beach volleyball.

Harukana Receive isn't your typical fanservice-focused anime, but there's ...

Harukana Receive is a sports anime produced by C2C studio that aired in the summer of 2018. The subject matter? Beach volleyball!

C2C are the makers of literally nothing else important and certainly nothing you've ever heard about.

Much like New Game! and other cute girl shows, Harukana features a grand total of 0 male characters.

The premise is that Haruka Oozora, a very tall athletic girl, moves to Okinawa to live with her grandmother and cousin, Kanata Higa. It was chance, or perhaps fate, that had her witness a game of beach volleyball one morning and immediately fall in love with the sport. Simultaneously, she also learns ...

I thought the show started off strong, but by the end I really thought it was subpar. I like the voice acting, graphics, and the music was fine. There was a coloration of some of the anime characters' eyes that I had not seen before. Can’t say if it was good or bad, just personal preference on how you like the eyes of anime characters drawn, but do give them points for at least trying to be original. I thought it was an interesting concept to not have any males aside from small children in the show, but dude to block out the face of ...
