Why is no one talking about Yukarin?!?! Though she only appeared in the first and last part of the episode.
That perpetual loli voice is <3

I'm still watching because I enjoy climbing and Sumippe and Ainya.

But the introduction of those awful "antagonists" was just bad. I hope they do improve on it next episode.

I registered just to post here hah

I'm a climber and watch an anime and I've always wanted a climbing anime, and it's here. Not perfect but it's here.

On the whole I would say the challenges she faces while climbing are real. Some are exaggerated while some are glossed over, but overall I'm happy with how the climbing is represented.

To echo what someone else said though, I do wish the animation whilst climbing was a bit better. It doesn't seem fluid enough and the body positions are a tiny bit off so you can't quite understand how her body is placed, but it does includes a monologue the situation so it's ok.

I'm also happy to answer any climbing related questions as well.

I'm... getting dizzy with the amount of eccentric characters this anime has lol. The nya girl was so irritating especially when she got so noisy during Konomi's climb :/

I hope they focus more on the actual climbing on the next episodes~ a lot of them were just like still cuts in this episode unfortunately.

just like Nonoka, the one who is more lighter and thinner body structure and a ripped muscle built, even if you're petite short is the ones who are more effective wall climber! but of course you have to be intelligent and quick in making strategic decisions especially if the rules are completing the course with lesser rock grips rather than time trial quick finishing...
4/5.

So we had the cat-talking girl, the spider onee-san, the school idol climber with animal ears and... a teaser of other animals competitors

It's only Episode 2, and so fast into the competition stage, to that and newbie Konomi sure is feeling the pressure. Guess this no different from series such as "Rifle Is Beautiful" with more-than-"enough" animation just to be flashy and then retreat to normal stuff.

Konomi sure is putting her puzzle-solving skills to the max, and so many animals characters to interact to and adding all the psychological play, that's some shitty sportsmanship if you'd ask me if taunting competitiors is the way to go to create some "drama".

But given how short this manga is in 4 volumes, I'd guess that this is going for a complete adaptation. If anything, not the best representation for sports, and there are better ones out there.

As for this episode, it's fine really. Nothing much to say, except of existing tropes that are in play.

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER...NOPE.

this show can be so much better if it has better animation. i like the story so far, the nya girl is a bit cringy but i like everyone else. i don't see much fanservice (thank god). finally there's a decent girls sports anime that actually focuses on the sports. now if only it has better animation to actually show us most of the climbing, then it'd be even better

'A newbie once showed me up, so now I despise all newbies.' THE WORST BACKSTORY EVER, I SWEAR.
And then when she was screaming from the crowd I woulda been like, "Seriously? Silence from the crowd please". But also like... where did she take her...?;; Spooky.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Quite interesting also this episode even if it gets lost in little compelling and almost childish things. The storytelling at times is also funny, but it made me turn up my nose at the episode when the atmosphere was less serious and more doomed. Drawings and animations sufficient as quality, some merits seen previously are to be professional when needed during the narration and to have a pinch of realism, despite the pindaric flights of President Sayo.

Winner winner chicken dinner, true gamergirl we got there. A lot of pressure on Konomi, understandable that she lost by taking advice from a stranger and also her muscles giving out considering she literally started the day before with the sport.

I wonder what that "Black Widow" Iwamine did to Akane? :D Her bunny ears are cute. :3

Akane and her constant cat puns are hilarious.

Konomi did a great job. It was only her first competition.
