Cute start for this show, very similar to Teekyu except the artwork has a more color paint style to it.

So far, I kinda like the girls in the show with bits of tennis. Catchy OP song as well with tennis themes.

So the new Teekyu.
It looks nice so far but something is missing.
Looking forward to next week tho.

It's like I took Ritalin immediately finishing Teekyuu.

Not sure if I like it when I think Takamiya Nasuno Desu! is a better spin-off in keeping true to the Teekyuu spirit.

Part of me felt like this was really slow paced, but I think that might be the Teekyuu talking.

Oh this one is a bit slow-paced. The artstyle is different, too. Different studio, nice.

Lol I should use this excuse. "Oh sorry I can't come today, I have something to do (in my dream)"

These girls are actually gonna practice... Wow. Amazing.

I might like this better? The pace is good.

Didn't expect real girl at end... Oh well, they are cute so it's okay.

I liked it, but it feels really slow compared to the ludicrous speed of Teekyuu's dialogue. I can't believe they managed to make a 4 minute episode feel so long.

I wonder how long the plot with actually be tennis.

It's like a subdued teekyu with an art style that doesn't fit the fast paced gags.

TBH It startled me when 3D girls suddenly showed up for the ending song. It's like after binge-watching the first episodes of most of this season's lineup I had to be reminded that 3D is actually a thing.

This is definitely better when watched with 2x speed so it feels more like Teekyuu.

is Teekyuu but more Tennis than comedy (uff remember when they played with a 64 controller of the 3min long "tour" arc xD)

I love the art style ^v^

The gags fell flat due to them trying to pull off Teekyuu gags at a slow pace so it didn't work very well. Was pretty bad.

Lol, glad I wasn't the only one who thought that this was similar-ish to Teekyuu.

Anyway, I'm so, so glad I did not pass this up, seeing as I just barely did.

It's very cute from it's start and has to be one of my fave shorts of this season.

teekyuu minus speed... can't say i'm impressed. not a fan of the art style too. OP can't match any of teekyuu OPs.

boo, i was looking forward to more teekyuu with different girls.

You can somewhat see that this is a somewhat worse version than Teekyuu in terms of pacing but other than that nothing too much.

That said first time I've seen a Live Action ED like that :p

That was a nice start. This is more slow-paced than Teekyuu, which is a good thing IMO.

I also like this art style a lot.

Nice live action ED.

I actually like this less-polished look. It looks more unique and justifies the inconsistent frame rate. The end credits straight up being a music video tho is kinda jarring. But THANK GOODNESS THERE ARE TWO MORE MINUTES! I am actually super relieved.

...I shouldn't pick up anime I know I'll hate after watching just 1 minute of. The warning signs were here, as I already dropped Teekyu, and this anime is listed as being related. I'll give it until episode 2, but I'm already certain I'm going to drop it after. Teekyu/10 episode. ๐Ÿ‘Ž
