I actually started rock climbing a few months ago... And when I discovered there was a rock climbing anime I decided to check it out. And I honestly don’t like it. Every character is extremely unlikeable and rude.

Everyone I’ve ever met so far when climbing has been super nice and welcoming. They’ve all given me advice on my climbing technique and helped me make a decision on the gear I bought.

Overall I feel like this anime gives rock climbing a bad image. If anyone else climbs irl I would like to hear your opinions on this. (Please specify if you actually climb or if you’re just joining in the discussion)

I don't do rock climbing but I could tell when I watched this (I watched while it was airing) that this wasn't a true representation of the community. In actuality it was probably made for 'light-hearted fun'. The characters where bland, the music was average, the antagonist was boring and the 'main competitors' where just weird. They tried to make it some what relatable with the gamer that could solve problems because she played tetris once in a while but it didn't really work and was a lazy writing technique to make her OP for no real reason . The character that had supposedly been rock climbing her entire left gave up after one loss which is when I really last it with this show. So trust me, as someone that comes from outside of the rock climbing community, no-one believes that this is what real rock-climbing is like.

My guy is figuring out that anime isn’t really life. Did you know that demon lords and magic doesn’t actually exist either. Crazy how fiction just makes stuff up that never actually happened.

Anime may not be real life, but it's the sports anime that emmulate it well and have themes that embody what makes playing sports a meaningful life experience, that are the best. Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, Real, and Cramer are all great exmlamples of that. I agree with OP, when stuff is too over dramatic it is less convincing. I think anime like Kuroko no Basket are closer to shonen battle series than they are sports for that same reason.

I feel I'm the only person who has liked the characters, plot and intro amd outros.......Sport's anime are not either informative shows nor "day in the life of -" type of shows. They usually just introduce you the sport and tell bit of tricks you could use while playing the sport. Its tournaments give you the same experience that you will get while watching a real show. I really loved the part when our female lead was in "THAT" mode and everyone was shocked. Also the animation was amazing.👏👏👏This anime deserves more love👏👏👏

Dude is just trying to say that some people may think that most of the climbers are asshats like Kurusu and Uchimura or toxic idiots like Jun. And this can somehow create bad image for the sport itself.

Yeah in real life even in the competition scene, people seem to be more friendly towards each other. I mean they usually discuss betas (possible solutions to climbs) in groups together before each competition.

And ofc normally climbers are more welcoming to beginners... in the first episode that jun girl acted like a anime rival clichee.

Im going to hate on everything I find dumb or good :

Ep 1 : What annoys me is how trash the holds look like, what the fuck is this only slopers everywhere, remove the fan service and maybe it would be fine at best, can we get an anime on the climber instead its better, not fully realistic but clearly better also what the fuck how is a dyno advanced, alright setting up some color grades fine, she cant do it normal quite realistic here doesn't look like a lowest grade v0-v1, taking climbing too harshly tho climbing community is supposed to be inclusive, also wtf is with bubbles pops thing not bad but wtf, going into tryhard mode I guess bullshit starts soon, she went to lead not even boulder finish it wtf, also why is she doing lead second climb seems risky, flashing a 6B+ first time is crazy tho, technique wise its total bullshit, also its looks like a 7B+ or some shit, the slipping of the red sloper is realistic tho, the loss of balance is normal. A newbie cant do that tho lack of tendon strenght which takes 6 months to adapt btw. Also the purple haired girl is annoying be more inclusive rock climbing needs more addicts (I campus her projects tho). Climbing duel who does that idk maybe them, the measure for the duel seems gimmicky but fun tho, purple girl still too serious tho. Also the purple haired girl sucks for someone who has been climbing for so long with that competitive mindset. Of course our mc is a nerd who shouldn't be able to do even 1 pull up but no she can climb 5.11A, also their shoes suck, literally rental shoes. Dyno of the route looks fun tho using the side of the wall is fine she would lose balance of that probably tho. Wtf do you mean she wouldn't have been able to do the crux it looks like an easy move. As someone who was a gamer before climbing, its fucking unrelated also what do you mean a competition on her second day of climbing lol seems fun tho some competition are like v0-v2 for starters but I feel its going to be like finale competition which is not the normal style unless you climb v15


Ep 2 : Speed climbing eh, alright wtf its a real finale competition style I would have like if they explained why size is that that important with something more than juste a stretchy but alright fine also what the fuck, people in a comp stopping due to stress on the wall how low is the level, it got me slightly hyped for once tho, way too dynamic for her low energy tho which at least they acknowledged that. Drop knee is good but they should tell more about techniques more often fom now we learned dyno and dropknee lol, Akane stop coping just try harder. Going to get quick karma when our mc gets our mc plot-armor. so much hype for a dropknee, its a basic move, wtf is happening with the bunny girl, I cant with the video games things tho. Of course their club won also its really climbing girls to the max eh.

Ep 3: My rambling is going to go haywire now, running to gain climbing muscles what the fuck, what do you mean why is this anime promoting lowering body fat instead of gaining muscles when mc is clearly not fat, unhealthy habits. Also they forgot finger strenght which is important also, why are their training legs that much for climbing,campus when you cant send v1's is a dumb idea, their way of training is so random lol. Also I'd add stretches because flexibility is important for climbing and even more for woman climbers, campusing lead route without rope lol what the fuck. What do you mean a match, are we really talking about rock climbing rn, damn they are climbing rocc now, crash pads at least that's good.. WOW WOW WOW WHAT DID SHE SAY, 7A outside??? God damn this is the least realistic thing since this anime started WAIT SHE CONTINUES, up to 8a there is no way, the girl who cant beat a newbie aims for 7C outside hell nah. There is a goat doing deep water solo at least. Doing the adam ondra dance, no shit it looks hard, its a V6 7A holds look way too good for a 7A tho looks V0 also what is this crash pad placing its shitty. I would also fear falling with these shitty crashpad positions, Its normal that the purple haired girl flashes.. Wait 7C V9 outside, bro shut up she struggles inside on routes grades easier.. Of course the silver haired girl does 8A V11 this is fucking bullshit. Also holy shit that rock is high now that I look at it again.

Ep 4: 1.5 month of training is still not enough to send V6 7A outside, I dont think anyone ever without being another type of athlete prior ever did that (and she will clearly get it)

Well just like others mentioned, you can't compare it to irl. I mean, take eyeshield 21... No superpowers irl, welcome to the ballroom, definitely not as easy as they make it seem.. Etc

I've bouldered myself and yes they're all kind and friendly. However when it comes to competition, everyone in the end wants to be no 1 :) but yeah in this anime they exaggerated it A LOT, especially with kuru kuru whatever...but i did enjoy it.
And actually a fun watch eventhougb it's not by far the best anime out there. Some techniques were right and I also liked that nono, a smaller girl climbed too. As a small girl I can relate and there's an actual small well known Japanese girl that does compos.
I can see how you can see it as solving a puzzle too. I don't think it gives of a bad idea on bouldering, but I didn't get why Jun would scare away new members. Towards newbies, definitely always friendly...

@Gyarutsundere Yeah Ai Mori is 5.1 I believe forgot her ape index, Brooke is also like 5.2 with a negative ape index I believe, its just that its a bad way to represent climbing as a sport, its alright to go a bit fantasy its an anime after all but idk rubs me the wrong way lol.

I agree, I do competitive climbing, and unlike many characters in this anime, everyone, including other competitors help each other out. Especially when we’re reading out routs to know what we need to do on the boulders. I would of liked to see more of that in the anime.
I may have forgotten.
