| if reaching your goals were easy, it wouldnt feel as good to reach them. need taiki's get-back asap :--) |
 |
| Peak sports episode. |

| It was expected given how early it is in the story but I still felt genuinely really bad seeing Taiki lose especially that early, I really like how they revealed it incredibly abruptly to the point where we barely process it alongside Taiki. Even if streamlined in focus compared to other sports series that actually put focus on the games this is hitting all those right notes of an underdog sports series where I'm really rooting for the lead, it just has the added bonus where the romance outside of that also feels kind of like an underdog story youre rooting for. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ya bro, we all know badminton is a game about MURDERING YOUR ENEMIES. You can't be a "nice person" and play badminton lmao. |
| Too bad Taiki and Haryuu ended up losing. Hina was so adorable bringing food to Taiki. I like Chinatsu a lot, but I like Hina even more. Unfortunately, we all know the fate of childhood friends. |

| damn, good ep! tough losses |
 |
| This episode is the epitome of that old ABC's Wide World of Sports slogan "the Thrill of Victory, the Agony of Defeat." Gosh, I feel bad for him. Does this mean he'll be too scared to ask her out now?? |
 |
| I feel for Taiki lost his match against Yusa. |
     |
| This was predictable … they lose every important match, and by a lot of points. This anime is not about enveloping the audience into the sport, basketball or badminton, it is about putting their characters into overly serious dramatic situations so their “feelings” are shown and get in the way. At least show them have a better match and put up a good fight, not get their butts handed to them, which makes them winning next time, look even more impossible and unrealistic. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Lol Taiki lost twice xD |
