Narenare: Cheer for You! - A cheerleading show that unfortunately, sows more discord than harmony.

Hoo boy, where to start with the Anima Yell that could, but ultimately fizzled both in its sport and characterization? All I'm gonna tell you is that there's a reason why the "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things" a.k.a CGDCT genre has Doga Kobo being the best representative, and it's because the studio has experience adapting CGDCT series over the years that it has become synonymous with quality, as one would come to expect. On the other hand, there's P.A. Works, a studio that also has quality to back up, but most ...

While Na Nare Hana Nare may appeal to CGDCT fans, I don't think it's quite fair to reduce it to such. It focuses more on drama, characterization and "healing" (iyashikei). In fact, much more so than Sports — a label which it gets purely by convention. The theme of this show is less cheerleading itself and more 応援 ("ouen", i.e. rooting for or supporting someone in a general sense).

As a Brazilian viewer, my score and review for this anime come from obvious motivation. Anna-chan might genuinely be one of the most accurately portrayed Brazilian characters I have seen in anime so far. In fact, a ...

On paper, this anime seems to have a promising setup, a former national star cheerleader trying to regain her confidence after a life-altering event, surrounded by new friends with their own diverse talents. However, what the show delivers is a scattered narrative that never quite finds its footing.

The primary issue stems from the show's structure. While it's common in ensemble cast shows to focus on individual characters in episodic arcs, the anime fumbles this approach. Instead of weaving these individual stories into a cohesive narrative, the show feels disjointed. After the girls initially come together to form a cheer squad, the show loses sight of ...

Man, why the hell did I ever force myself to watch this trainwreck of a show? One of three anime produced by PA Works for the summer 2024 season, Nanare Hananare, or Narenare for short, is a "cute girls doing cute things" anime focused on...cheerleading? We already had an anime about cheerleading, Anima Yell. Remember that show? I only checked out Narenare because it looked cute, but man do I regret it. I'm not going to mince words here, I haven't seen many anime that PA Works have made, but out of the ones I've seen, Narenare is the worst thing they put out. No, ...

PA works had an insane summer season with 3 anime original series airing. Two of which being in my top 10 of the season. For me, Narenare was just slightly below Mayopan, but I still loved it. A cheerleading anime was novel for me. The girls were great, the plot lines were compelling and I learned a lot about competitive cheer. Despite PA works usual Yuri bait, I enjoyed the chemistry between the characters as well. There’s a powerful message of accepting friends with disabilities throughout the show that gave me a newfound appreciation for the studio. This was just a really good CDCT watch ...

I started watching the series because one of the main characters is Brazilian (because I'm also Brazilian), but it's really good, it has a lot of plots, twists and turns, it's like a prologue to an organized fan club. When I watched it, honestly, I put on some famous Brazilian memes, the sound of the Brazilian team when they score a goal, or a samba when Anna appears, since I watched it, I loved all the characters. And I'm curious to know how it will end. At this point in this post, the series she's heading towards to final arc, i hope the productors susprise ...

I'm not going to lie to you, I came into this anime out of curiosity to see how a girl in a wheelchair would participate in a cheerleading club. Fortunately, I stayed because of the interesting topics that these girls bothered to expose.

I'm not a regular in the CGDCT genre, I think this was my first experience. I thought that throughout 12 weeks, I would only see happy girls trying to make more people happy. I couldn't be more wrong, because even though the girls were children, they never tried to infantilize their problems. Post-traumatic stress, yips, spiral of self-destruction, the search for personal dreams, ...

**A forgettable story with a forgettable set of characters**

Going by the description that it is a sports anime but with cheer dance, I expected it to be school-based. It defied my expectations. It's an after-school cheering club for girls from different schools.

It's what is called an ensemble, but the problem with having too many characters is that you need to be with them for a long time to get to know them. Sometimes 26 episodes aren't enough, let alone 12. There is this character named Nodoka that I forgot who she is and what her role is, and if only she had her own character ...

What is growth if we do not experience hardships, suffering, pain, loss, and lack of motivation. This is what Cheer for You will make you see as a viewer. This is more than CGDCT, this is more than just cheerleaders, this is about real human emotions. That we all as people have had to go through in life to get to that next point in our lives. Through the slow burn that this anime helps build up, you see that no matter how you are in life with success. Success can last for minutes, days, hours, or years. It is how you use it ...

When the Summer Season was announced, two Anime Originals were announced for PA Works, Na Nare and Mayonaka Punch. I initially thought, that given that this show is largely made by a lot of the same people behind MyGo, I had assumed that this show would be the better of the two with a focus on character drama. Oh how wrong I was.

While ostensibly about using cheerleading to bring cheer to others, the show actually has very little cheerleading in it. In fact, most of my gripes with the show is how it seemingly doesn't know what it is about. Several plot points and character ...

Narenare takes the structure of idol or music band anime, replace the theme with cheerleading, and does one different thing: the girl group formed with no grand goal in mind, they just wanna cheer. This key difference may make the anime feel all over the place as it lacks a general direction. The group leader, Anna, would casually say things like getting rich or famous, but she never cared about those stuffs. The lack of promise, the lack of a clear destination, would frustrate the viewers, but it also makes their progress unpredictable and open to wider options. Most importantly, this approach is in line ...

I won't beat around the bush: I dropped this anime.

The reason I dropped is pretty simple: It doesn't really know what it wants to be. There are about four different threads to this anime, and they're kind of unrelated to each other.

Thread 1: Cheerleading. I guess this anime is about cheerleading. It's about a bunch of "cute girls" who like cheerleading, and there's a plot thread of a couple of the girls being unable for a couple of different reasons, and trying to transcend that. Okay. Typical sports anime so far. Where they go with it ...

It's okay, I suppose.

Na Nare Hana Nare is clearly meant for preteen girls, so it doesn’t appeal very well to older audiences. The story isn't anything particularly deep. There are too many main characters for each of them to have a fully fleshed out storyline within 12 episodes. As a result, the pacing is rushed. This issue could easily have been solved by cutting down the amount of main characters, or only focusing on the stories of two or three characters.

Character design is also an issue. The main cast lacks memorable designs. It is a struggle to differentiate a couple characters from ...

Na Nare Hana Nare is probably one of the best cheerleading animes, considering there is two that I can remember, Arima Yell which completely forgot it was supposed to be about cheerleading. That being said, as an anime, it struggles with stuffing too much in one season.

Na Nare Hana Nare's animation, music and upbeat nature is a treat. The girls look fine, the cheer choreography is great. Every character feels like they are their own entity and have relevance to the world.

The only problem with this show, is because the characters are actually realistic, they all have problems that are entangled and the show ...

Possibly the worst PA Works has produced so far?

Excusing the story being about nothing and going nowhere, as there is another review that talked about it much better than I could, I think what is unexcusable is that the cast wasn't devoid of radiance, but could not shine at all in how the show was executed, and they had no chemistry. There are countless scenes where they're just hanging out, doing homework and eating yokan, but it never sells the friendship, their conversations are mostly plot progression, exposition or a gag that develops nothing.

What brings them together and keeps them together isn't tangible, it ...
