2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu

I’m going to get straight to the point, if you the reader is going to try to compare this animation to Haikyuu, don’t do it. Yes, they are both about volleyball, but they are completely different.

I’m just saying that, if you expect this to be on equal levels to Haikyuu, it unfortunately won’t meet that high level of expectation. After all this animation has a different storyline, character characteristics, and vibe. It’s something new and refreshing to the sport animation category.

So far I have seen the 4 episodes that have currently aired. So far, I like it. There are some awkward parts to the ... story, but they can be overlooked. The music (opening and ending) is pretty good.

Overall, it’s not bad. This animation has piqued my interested ever since I learned about the making of this animation. So I’m going to continue to watch it. For those who are wondering weather or not it’s worth your time to watch it. Either you don’t watch it, watch it as it continues to air, or wait till all of the episodes have aired.

When I write reviews, I like to end on the note. That the worst thing that’s going to happen if you watch an episode and you don’t like it, you’ve only wasted around 23 minutes of your time. If you don’t like it, don’t continue to watch it. But if there’s something that may have caught your eye, continue. Never let other people comments influence what you should or should not do when your trying to find an anime that fits your style.

To begin, I want to say before watching Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu, I was not a very big fan of sports anime at all. I love sports in real life but have not found myself very interested in sports animated. HOWEVER, I fell in love this this show very quickly. I feel like it focuses a lot on the characters, instead of simply the sport. The show really got even better with every new episode. So, if you are not content with the first couple of episodes, I promise it gets better if you keep watching, and I will tell you why you should below.


It ... does start a little slow, and the main characters seemed a bit aggravating at first, but it really paid off later with the development the characters showed. I found myself very impressed with how some of the characters changed over the course of the season. Everything just felt very realistic, it shows the immature and selfish side of a high schooler, and how sometimes being on a team and working together can change you for the better.


The art and animation are of course very nice, David Pro back at it again. Obviously, there is no need for crazy animation or sound, but it all looked very clean. The sound effects and the animation during the volleyball matches were amazing and consistent throughout the season.


Oh boy the opening, what an amazing song. The beat and vocals by Yama on the Opening song are what honestly got me hooked on the show first. I found myself excited for the new episode just to hear the song. The ending song by Soushi Sakayama is also a very nice song that I like a lot. As far as OSTs go, they were very fitting. They do not necessarily need to stand out if they are nice and fit the theme, which they did.


I think the characters and how they progressed was my favorite part of the whole show. Towards the later part of the season, I found myself being torn between who to cheer for because I loved both teams and did not want to see either lose. Kuroba and Haijima are both wonderful characters. They start of as very immature and selfish boys, but through volleyball they learn to deal with past discrepancies and do what is best for the team and each other.


At first, I thought Subaru would step in and be a bland villain type character who the Seiin boys would have to overcome, but that was dead wrong. Subaru really made the show so much better. Though dealing with his own past and very uncertain future, he put all that behind him for the time being so he could take his team all the way. He had lots of pressure on him as the best player on the best team, but he took not only his own dreams and aspirations, but those of this teammates, fans, and best friend with him as far as he could. Subaru had me cheering my heart out for Fukuhou even though I loved the Seiin team as well. What a wonderful cast.


I think it is safe to say I really enjoyed this show. What started out as me being interested simply because of David Productions, turned into me loving the opening song, and eventually turned into one of, if not my favorite seasonal this winter. Such an incredibly consistent show that got better each week. If you are a fan of sports anime, or even if you are not, you should give this show a chance because it is so much more than that. Thank you, David Productions, and everyone involved for making 2.43 Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu such a good experience. It has really opened my eyes towards sports anime. I really hope David Pro does a second season so we can see these boys grow even further as athletes and men.

Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu gets 10 spike serves out of 10 from me.


Thank you for reading. <3

When I saw the first teaser of this anime, as an volleyball player I immediately got interested in watching it, but my first impression was actually not that good. Even though I knew the story would be a bit "dark", in the first episode my only reaction was getting shocked with the plot itself and, honestly, I couldn't help but compare some character backgrounds with another volleyball anime. Still I decided to get rid of any comparation and keep watching. All I can say is that I didn't regret that decision yet.

On the second episode the story finally caught my attention, but it still got ... a problem: the development is super rushed. And that's a problem that I know will keep happening until the end. By the episode 3 I was already interested enough in the story but since the pacing is not good I got so confused with some stuff that I decided to read the novel. After that I came to that conclusion that yes, the adaptation is super rushed.

Despite all this problem with the development, I still think the story is catching and the characters are realistic. I already know that many people will not like the characters since this is an anime that didn't hold back in showing all characters worst sides. Some people may even find it exaggerating, but from my point of view watching imperfect characters gives an realistic aspect that only adds to the plot. That said, don't watch that anime hoping for perfect and morally correct characters.

I'd say that the same way sports can show you your best parts, sometimes it wakes up your worst and I like how that anime portrayed that part. Specially when you're a teenager some unexpected feelings can appear out of nowhere and considering that playing team sports can be pretty stressful sometimes, it's only natural to anxiety, jealousy and other unwanted stuff to show up. They're all teenagers making teenagers mistakes.

About the art, all I can say is that I found it very good. The animation in the game parts is high quality, but outside the court it lowers the level a bit. The characters don't have anything special on the design part but for me that simplicity matches the idea of this realistic part of the story.

Well, I don't want to extend myself so all I can say about the sound is that for me this is the best opening from that season. The ending is also pretty good, but the sound effects are nothing special and I don't feel they match the emotion in some of the game parts.

Overall I'd say you should give it a chance. Probably not gonna be an anime that will captivate you to the point of turning it into a favorite, but still a nice story with realistic teenage characters and lots of drama going on.

Many people are rating this low just because it's more realistic. That doesn't mean it's bad. It's not dragging out a training montage, it doesn't have unrealistic characters, it has real-life problems.

Honestly, it's a really good anime. It's not THE BEST ANIME IN THE WORLD for me, but it's not bad like other people are saying.

If you like unrealistic characters, unbelievably hyp moments, good things always happening, this might not be for you.

If you're open to trying new things, like realism, like volleyball give it a try!

The OP and ED is very good and some moments are so heartwarming ^^

Title is 2.43 not Haikyuu *facepalm* if it ain't obvious....I'll reiterate it's NOOOOOT Haikyuu... and It's not aiming to be like it.

TL;DR The Appeal here is Realism. Everything in this anime screams normalcy. Futsu. BUT "Normal" doesn't equate to "Meh"

Sigh. The MAL rating for this anime made me logged-in into this semi-dead account just to make a review ~and pump the rating a bit....
This Anime deserves a better rating.
I don't get why people would be complaining about the lack of action when GENRE is pretty straightforward: SLICE OF LIFE, DRAMA!!!

So if you are expecting Shounen tropes (feel good, focused on exaggerated game plays, ... exaggerated leveling up, exaggerated characterization, exaggerated optimism... you know, the usual.. etc.) nope you ain't getting that here. This is not for you.

If you're itching for comparison... eeh... i'm not a fan of that but.. err the way i see it This anime has more similar vibe with Run with the Wind just add in more drama and less maturity, which is self explanatory if you compare the genres, the additional drama in 2.43 comes from it being a Slice of Life, lesser maturity is because 2.43 deals with Middle school/ Highschool whereas the other is college level.
anyway...Despite that, the 'drama' dilemmas are not overly stretched out that it risks becoming annoying. Problems surprisingly resolve pretty quick, so pacing is not that bad in that aspect. Others might find the pacing too fast but as for me, i prefer it this way.
School Drama if drawn out too long could appear petty instead and could make the characters appear too immature. This anime doesn't and that's a plus for me.

As for the Characters, you won't find anyone that's too stupid or overly acts like one for comical reasons. They are very much like normal teenagers traversing maturity like how every other teenager does; with naivety, self-doubt, flippancy, naive-arrogance/pride, carefree-ness, bravery. They are kids. They are brats. But they are learning.

Story wise: It's simple. I Like it! i like how how the story is progressing with just the right amount of tension and makes one curious enough to watch another episode. It's a pretty relaxing anime to watch

One setback, for me, is the animation. The Art is good but animation is quite inconsistent and not smooth through out. There are scenes that are very detailed, but then next panel would be awkward. But it's not so bad that It'll repulse one from watching. It's very tolerable.

Alright.... I don't wanna give a too lengthy review, this hasn't finished airing yet anyway.

Key Takeaway: Learn to read Genre Tags.
Final words for now. Give this anime a chance it won't disappoint. It's easy to enjoy this show when you don't expect anything beyond it's genre. :)

EDIT: REMINDER!!! Watch the scenes after credits. I saw a lot of reviews saying the anime is confusing, time skips bla bla.. I am guessing some probably missed the tidbits after credits.. The next episode continues where the post credit scenes left off... lol

People really be throwing 2's and 3's on this anime. It's a good anime. If you think you're going to Japan and you'll be welcomed by ara-ara's then yeah, it's not for you probably.
You guys need to stop butchering this anime. Maybe I pumped up the ratings a bit, but this anime does not deserve a 6.5 rating (18 feb).
The anime resembles real life more than anything else that I've ever seen. I enjoy it, it just feels like something that would happen in real life. Don't compare it with the other volleyball anime, this one is more realistic. You won't be able to hit ... the ball with your eyes closed.
It's a slice of life, but sports edition.
Don't be bothered by the reviews, just give it a try, it won't disappoint.

Do not miss this one due to its rating or some other silly reason! Regardless of what you think about the story and characters, there are at least three separate reasons to watch this show:

1) Some of the characters talk funny. Supposedly this is the dialect local to the town of Fukui, where the story takes place. I cannot comment on the authenticity. Perhaps it is silly and ridiculous to native speakers, let alone people familiar with the dialect. To me, however, it is very pleasant to the ears and certainly a unique feature of the show. As a bonus point, part of the local ... culture is explored as well.

2) Besides the voice acting, the entire sound department of the series is great. The subtle background tracks, the music, the OP and ED, everything is well made and, most importantly, well placed. Harmonious, tasteful, well-measured. If nothing else, this alone should merit your attention.

3) The directing and the way the story is told are great. The events of the story are sequential and causal, naturally, but the flow of time feels inconsequential or some such. It's really interesting and refreshing. The focus seems to be exclusively on the important parts of the journey, the trivia is omitted, and this makes not only for an exciting viewer experience, but it also makes the characters and their interactions shine.

THIS IS GOING TO BE QUICK AND SIMPLE

First of all, don't compare this to other amine's with a similar genre, there is no point.
When i started this show I had some sort of gut feeling that it could turn out to be great if possible a GEM? Am i right , i dont know yet, as it is still airing, am i worng well that's the question you'll answer when you consider to watch this. Personally for me, i think it hasn't jolted to that GEM spot , but is creeping upwards to one of my favourites this season.

Reasons to back this up is the ... sheer beauty of the animation, no hint of CGI and there are no scenes where the studio cheap out, and degrade the fluidity of the animation. I think that the sole reason I didn't stop watching after EP 1 is the potential it has with its animation, it is noteworthy that a show with no much popularity has this sort of exceptional animation. So if your into good fluid animation, maby you'll like this.

Now for the plot. There is not much to say, as the plot is pretty simple and the characters involved, does fit with the plot. As for the main characters, their only purpose is to potentially reach the nationals and become someone who's talent is exposed to all and recognized by many. Its a bit meeeehh, but even tho its simple, it's simple to a good extent. Kinda reminds me of Ahiru no Sora.

Visuals are like i said exceptional, the voice acting is spot on, nothing to mention, but one thing you might not like is the slow start of the show with its frequent awkward scenes, that seem to have no meaning. At first they were a bit irritating, but it seems that it might also play a part for the character development as well. They are quite frequent so watch out.

In conclusion, i would advise you to perhaps watch this, but its your choice.

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu is an interesting new sports anime. Many of those watching will probably be doing so because of Haikyuu!!. They are two very different anime. Stop focusing on the comparison and watch it for what it's worth.

2.43 is a melodrama with volleyball at its core. The characters are experiencing middle school to high school growing pains and all the drama involved with being that age. It's relatable and well written for a slice of life where the characters have depth we have all experienced. Kimichika Haijima is the all star setter and Yuni Kuroba is the up-and-coming ace. Haijima is haunted ... by his past, but uses volleyball as his distraction and obsession. Yuni is trying to navigate different influences and come to his own conclusions about the world, Haijima, and volleyball. Yuni is easily relatable for anyone who played sports and found the pressure or drive difficult. With Haijima as the bar to set, it's easy to be discouraged by those better than you.

The relatability to the characters is the strong point of 2.43. It's focus is the characters, rather than being a hype sports anime. I think of the show more as a slice of life drama with volleyball, rather than a sports shounen. If that's what you're into, this show is a good one to watch. There is plenty of depth and pain written into the show, and that is what makes it unique. Another sports anime is cool and all, but the writers clearly wanted to try something different -- or at least showcase flawed and relatable characters and their rise through volleyball. There is a stronger focus on the relationships that develop as the season progresses. If you're watching for epic volley ball animation sequences, just wait until episode 4. This anime focuses more on player motivations that go deeper than "winning is everything." There is plenty of drama and character depth to be explored.

If you want it to be Haikyuu, go re-watch Haikyuu. 2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu isn't a carbon copy with new characters. Solid show. You'll know by the first episode if you're interested in the story or not.

--------- I DIDNT EXPECT ANYTHING BUT, WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE:

It is difficult not to compare both series but beyond volleyball and all that has to do with the game itself: teamwork, effort, responsibilities, overcome difficulties, happiness, bitterness/sadness, etc.

These series are very different; I think 2.43 has a bit more “dramatic punch line” especially with the background of Haijima (the setter) and all that surrounds him.

Another thing is that even if I am a haikyuu die fan, I think this series is more “realistic” with the game itself, please don't get me wrong I love the action and tension that ... haikyuu have, but 2.43 feels a little more natural guess.

The art: in some points, it feels flat 7/10
The sound: the opening and the ending are 10/10 loved it.

If you are looking for an entertaining sport-anime without falling into so much comedy and exaggerated cliches tricks in the game matches, this one is the one and has only 12 chapters.

I'm looking forward to the second season and see the guys in the orange court Tokyo National Championship.
Give it a chance

YES, THIS IS A VOLLEYBALL ANIME.
NO, IT'S NOT LIKE HAIKYUU.

First of all, it makes so mad that everyone compares Seiin with Haikyuu and downrates it because of it. It's just doesn't right and a big slap for the authors because they're so different from each other.


- Story -

The plot is kept very simple and focuses more on the characters and their struggles and problems. It's a really cast-driven story and shows the pressure and the rather darker side of a sports and I really dig it. It's not about fast-paced and action-packed fights and jumping around, laughing and fooling around. It's about ... 'What would you do if you were in their shoes?' kind of story.
The drama in Seiin is realistic and surprised me big time because it's not your generic Shounen sports Anime. It's not too exaggerated and just the perfect amount. The fact that it even HAS authentic drama makes it more interesting and real. You just follow the inner fights of the characters but also see some good volleyball games, a nice balance of both.
What I really liked, too...and I need to address it.., is, that they also targeted on injuries and how they can affect you. What would you do, if you can't do the things you love anymore? They actually handled it so well, I was taken aback.


- Art and Animation -

It's probably the aspect I like least about Seiin but it's not bad. The art is really fine, nothing to criticize but the animation just isn't smooth and doesn't look that appealing. It's ok.
The character designs are simple, no bright surroundings, no over the top hair colors, dim lighting. It fits the theme and I like it, makes the show more visually engaging.


- Characters -

The cast is amazing, it really is. Yes, they can act immature, self-indulgent, weak, naive and, and, and but that's what makes them sympathetic and loving. They're just a bunch of kids, acting how kids should be and they're learning and growing up. The development felt a bit fast but I don't really mind the pacing. It's not overly rushed so it's absolutely fine.
They also focus on the rivals, giving them nice backgrounds and just the attention they deserve. They aren't there for being strong opponents only, you actually feel and cheer for them. It's the huge selling point in Seiin when you take a deeper look in their traits. Some may feel annoyed but that's indeed good because I think Seiin WANTS to make you feel frustrated and mad with the cast since they act like actual teenagers. That's how it should be and I love it.


- Sound -

The OST is fine, there are some nice Soundtracks, especially in Ep. 8 and THE OPENING IS SOOO FREAKIN' GOOD.


- Enjoyment and Overall-

I honestly enjoy Seiin. It begins interesting and immediately came to the point so it's easy to start it and be captivated. It still lacks a proper story and sometimes it feels dull but overall I love the idea of it. It's a Slice of Life mixed with sports after all. It doesn't want to be like Haikyuu, more the opposite...and to be frank, I dig it sooo much more because we never saw a sports show (besides Ping Pong) that takes on a more deeper look on everything. The execution could be better but they still did an amazing job and it really deserves at least a 6-7. So folks, don't compare everything to XYZ just because they have one small thing in common. Seiin is a great watch, don't miss it and do it when you're interested and just don't when you're not, it's that easy.

I wanted to write this review earlier but I thought it'd be better if I left a review after the show finished airing and, boy howdy, am I glad that I did because if you'd have asked me what I thought of this show like three weeks ago, my opinion would be so different to what it is now...

Story: 7/10
Although a little rushed in places (probably to fit into the 12 episode season) I personally thought that the story of 2.43 was pretty strong. Although cliché for a sports anime, newbie weak team dreams of going to nationals and has to go up against the ... local powerhouse to get there, it made me feel as if it was completely new to me and that I'd never seen a story like this before. I won't go into the story too much, for spoiler reasons, but there were moments that absolutely blew me out of the park. It does get dark at times though, handling topics like suicide, so I recommend you go into this show feeling ready to handle stuff like that.

Art: 7/10
The art style of this show was, I'll admit, a little basic. It looks pretty much exactly like some of the other shows I've seen. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. You shouldn't fix what isn't broken and, personally, I think that the not-so-flashy art style suits this show. I like it. The animation is patchy at times but, overall, it's pretty good to!

Sound: 7/10
I don't really pay much attention to sound when watching a show. Like the name implies, it's background music. However, thinking about it, I do think that the sound complimented the show well. It was good.

Character: 8/10
I've seen a lot of people rag on the characters in this show. While their opinions are totally valid, I beg to differ. The characters in this show are surprisingly complex and interesting. There's Kuroba, who may come off as just your average himbo who gives up easily but is actually a little insecure (from what I can tell) and has trouble believing in himself which is why he struggles to persevere, and Haijima, who originally comes off as your average full-of-himself talented jerk but is actually riddled with anxiety and struggles in social situations. I'll admit, there are members of the supporting cast who are forgettable and it's hard to even pinpoint a single aspect of their personality, but those of the supporting cast who do get development are really strong and likeable characters.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I'll be honest, there were times towards the beginning of the series when I considered dropping the show but I am so glad I persevered through it. This show is my newest hyper fixation and it's safe to say that it's my new guilty pleasure anime as well. There were a few episodes (*cough* episode five *cough*) that stopped me from rating enjoyment as a 10/10 but just persevere through the bad episodes because, man, that ending is so worth it.

Overall: 9/10
I'm not entirely sure what to put here other than I recommend giving this show a watch. Even if you don't like it as much as I did, it'll keep you entertained for at least a couple of days.

This anime is definitely far far far better than Haikyuu in all aspect.

I am a big fan of sport anime and at the first time I watched the first episode of 2.43, I was really mesmerized by the opening song, animation, story, and everything about it compared to shitty anime like Haikyuu. Moreover, the character development of each character of this anime is clear and meaningful, not like Haikyuu who use super technique like volleyball version of Captain Tsubasa.

Please watch at least 4 episodes first before giving rating or review because you'll regret your decision if you drop this anime before you know how worth ... it is!!

For some of you who believe that Haikyuu is better than 2.43, just stop watch anime!!!

This anime was at least a 7. I think this anime got compared to you-know-what instead of people watching it for what it was actually worth.

The story was fine and even set up for another season if they wanted one, but was fine with just the one as well. The characters had growth, although there was a little drama at the beginning that did not get a decent enough explanation, which i docked points for. But overall, the story did what it needed to do fort he plot points they used.

The art and sounds were great! They did that little click-power up sound effect ... that i like a lot and that definitely added to the effects during the climax of the show. They didn't execute It the cut scenes as well as I'd have liked to see, but they did a decent enough job with the time they had considering it was only one season, so i don't feel like it was really lacking as opposed to wishing it was a little longer.

I think they did what they set out to do for the character development in this story and did it well enough. They explored facets of two particular character tropes and i didn't feel like they were missing anything. They did do a lot of BL baiting though (if you know you know). I'm not really mad at that as a queer person, but some ppl take offense when characters are set up to have some kind of ambiguous more-than-friends feelings and the audience is left hanging with ambiguity.

As a lover of sports anime, this was enjoyable overall for what it was meant to do and convey, and i think it earned its 7 fair and square.

you guys saying it is bad because it is not as good as Haikyu. Just accept that I am right. I saw some people rating a 3 or a 4. I personally think that it deserves more than a 6. All the haters saying that it is sucks because they thinking of Haikyu when watching this anime. If I said Haikyu sucks because it is not as good as Seiin KouKou Danshi Volley-bu, see how you feel...Just give this anime a second chance without thinking Haikyu in your mind.

Maybe it will get worse at the later part in the anime but you haven't watch the ... anime completely so you cant say anything bad or good about it. FYI: I am writing this review based on 3/9/21.

2.43 Seiin suprised me. In the best way possible.

I expected it to be an anime like Haikyu, centered only around Volleyball and the friendship in between but its different. Sometimes for the better, sometimes the worse.

Tbh 2.43 feels a bit more like Given than Haikyu. Centered around the main characters and their relationship. The story is pretty simple but it works good. The sound and artstyle is amazing. But i didn't expect anything else from DP and Yuko Kanno (rip part 6 jojo i guess).
The characters are a bit plain but I can still with em most of the time. In my opinion it ... is a bit too fast paced but since it will only have 12 episodes i think there is no other way around.

Overall i really liked it. I came because I was interested in another volleyball anime and the visuals and sound delivered so damn hard i could look over the rather basic characters. I enkoyed it a lot and I'm looking forward for the new episodes!

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu is an anime with an identity of its own, this is not Haikyuu !!, showing that great sports anime can still be made from another Angle of sport here from the personal part of the athlete overcoming the slow pace of the Battery anime. and the over victimization of characters such as Hoshiai no sora, in the animation and character design it was very risky, it does not innovate at all, some will say that it is lazy but its care in the scenarios and plays shows all the feelings of the characters here you do not go to see ... design distortions and let's not forget the Op and Ed who do their job 100% in getting the viewer into the story. I hope the second season is given the green light, this anime deserves it, I catalog it in the TOG 5 OF THE SEASON.

[This anime is so underrated]

This is my first time watching sports anime (with a bit of drama genre I think) & I'm enjoying the anime! As someone who is watching sports anime for the first time, I think this is good enough, because this is an adaptation of a novel, I think it's a bit difficult to adapt it to anime, but this is a good adaptation in my opinion. and I like the opening! interesting & very memorable.. every time I hear the opening, I think of my friends haha. I guess David Pro just needs to improve the animation & depiction of the ... characters, for everything else it's good! and for the SFX, I really enjoyed it (especially on eps 4). But on the one hand I don't really enjoy the anime because there is a drama.. it's strange in my opinion but it's okay. AND PLEASE DO NOT SAME THIS ANIME WITH HAIKYUU OR KNB, This is a novel adaptation, different from the two of them which were adapted from a manga.. I hope this anime will get another season with longgg episode hahaha

If you wanna find a reality of volleyball i think it is what it is,besides the normal characthers i guess is based on reality,not like u have neko eyes or somethin' weird,if type of people like progress story it is what you find,cause if u find match in this anime i think ur enjoyable not on sports but the drama progression,starting with childhood friend and got reunited as a team and blabla like that,it is complex story that show realistic atmosphere,not like u overpower cause of short or somethin', it is zero to hero? yes it is, i mean look kuroba mate he just play ... and feel somethin,that height possible tho for volleyball player,it is not center for onlymatch but progress of the characthers,if u find this anime u should at least watch it,not 1 episode then u drop it like brvh,i guess yeah thats it for my reviews,i hope u fanboy overpower characthers immediately realized the reality of sports tho.

I remember when I first saw a preview for this show I was super excited to see it. I am obsessed with anything and everything sports anime especially when the cast is all-guys.

If you enjoy bromance and watching a team strive for improvement/victory throughout the course of a show, this is that typical formula and you would probably have a good time watching this. However, it is definitely on the blander end of the spectrum, not merely as exciting as the more popular sports anime.

Overall, I enjoyed the art a lot, and I thought the VA was really good. This was my first experience ... watching a "sub" anime and I was able to binge it all within a day. You aren't going to really "feel" emotions from this or have a rollercoaster experience; if anything, this show is smooth-riding, entertaining enough to keep you interested, and very customary in emotional range.

If you are looking for a short show to binge that you will be intrigued with and wanting to know the ending to, then go for this show.
