| Ayanon's mom is a piece of shit human garbage. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. |
| Great finale to a great anime. Shame that during the match my computer screwed up and called two extra phone sex lines. The issue resolved itself somehow. |
 |
| Ayano has to be one of the most unlikable main characters ever. I don't give a shit that she turned a corner and she loves badminton now. It's too late for that. She's an arrogant, classless piece of shit. I don't care at all about her issues. That doesn't justify treating people like garbage. And it was all for nothing anyway. She just forgave her mother. It's bad on so many levels. |

| best anime 2018 10/10 |
 |
| This show started pretty promising albeit overdramatic, the visuals were great, but it kinda went to the shitter after Ayano went psycho, 5/10. |
 |
| Ahh. First off, I'm really glad that Nagisa won. I was really rooting for her! I'm not super sure how to feel about Hanebado. I really thought the drama was kinda eh and a bit over the top, but at the same time, I actually do like how it allowed Ayano to grow in such a specific way. I'm not really sure how else one might have achieved the same thing with the same effectiveness. Like, I specifically do like the trial of overcoming one's issue with abandonment, but someone abandoning their child over badminton? I don't know. I especially liked and felt a dart hit my heart when she thanked Elena for not abandoning her because I feel that shows that she's been afraid of abandonment in MANY aspects of her life-- understandably. I mean who do you feel will stay with you if not even your mom will stick around, right? So I felt that, I just wish that was achieved in a different way. So "For staying with me... For not abandoning me... For inviting me to play badminton again... Thank you!" just kills my heart. And the whole drama was for crappy reasons in the first place. She up and left so her daughter could actually like badminton? Okay, but this woman has been gone for a long ass time. Like, it's not a day, month, or one year. We're talking about like... I dunno, a quadrennium? A lustrum? I don't even remember how long, but it's a long time of leaving your child just to get them to understand a point that it doesn't seem like she really even tried to communicate to her properly in the first place.;; Still, I'm just a bit... like, the abandonment thing was stupidly extreme, but the result of Ayano growing the way she did was oddly satisfying. And my gosh, Nagisa... my girl. "I don't know if I have talent at badminton or not, but I'll probably keep playing it forever". Like straight up, I sometimes think maybe I should throw in the towel for a lot of things because I lack the time and feel that I'm bad at them, but hearing this reminds me... I'm having fun doing them though, aren't I? The thing is, I really like the values associated with sports anime, but Hanebado added an extra drama element and went really heavy on it. Like, when you watch other sports anime, you might see some drama here and there, but they usually define each situation that they're a part of and not really the whole mood of the show. In fact, at some point watching this anime was really draining because I was more or less thinking, "Shoot, I've got to tune in for more mommy issues". I mean, self-esteem issues are sometimes a thing in sports anime, but this was just something else entirely. It was easier to follow Nagisa's progress and her own problems which I feel she conquered pretty quickly. But would I have wanted to watch Nagisa continue to treat her teammates like she had been in the beginning? Not really. I would have stopped trying to attach to her long ago. I feel like they struck a pretty good balance between Nagisa, who first appeared as... well, a bit of an enemy really, and Ayano who kinda appeared more as the hero. Because about half way through, Nagisa became the hero while Ayano became more of an enemy (even if to herself). That was risky, but it did make it easier for the audience since there really wasn't too much time spent where both Nagisa and Ayano were going downhill; if one was down, the other was up in one way or another. Overall, I'm still not sure how to think about certain aspects of Hanebado and will be thinking of ways in which things could have been done differently but still have the same effect. Still, I appreciate Hanebado and what it set out to do. |
| Awesome match, perfect ending, awesome show!! The best spokon of the year so far. Do you want to see Haikyuu but is it too long for you? then see Hanebado 8/10 just because isn't perfect |
 |
| Visuals are outstanding and very smooth but my god did I start to dread Ayano and her mother, with the overall melodrama in the show. I'm normally a big fan of sports anime and the matches were good but the characters and story ruined the experience imo. 4/10 |
| Really good sport anime. I'll be looking foward to another season, whenever it comes out :p 9/10 |
 |
| i finished this show a few weeks back, but had to process my thoughts. is the show heavily flawed and have inconsistencies? absolutely. is it too melodramatic at times to the point of being funny? definitely. is the animation gorgeous? yep. is it entertaining? hell yeah. i liked certain aspects of the show, but some inconsistencies with connie's character, the dropped subplots and the worst mother ever destroyed this anime's chance of getting a higher score from me. i'll absolutely buy it on blu-ray, but i'm gonna give this show a c+. |

| That was the best match of this series. I enjoyed it. Nice ending. 7/10 |
| at this point i'm not even mad at how all the events reeking of red flags led up to this irrationally cringy ending, which left an aftertaste worse than spoiled soy milk in my eyelids that i use as my mouth. i only have one question though. quality control where? definitely not here. |
 |
| Good ending. It's true I feel the storyline for Nagisa was better taken care off. |
| What a sack of shit "parent". The lack of any cognitive function is appalling. Ever stop to think that abandoning a young child who's emotionally attached to you "to make her stronger" could destroy her mentally and result in permanent lifelong scars? But no. Obviously the most appropriate thing to do is to leave your biological child behind for a decade, adopt a dumb broad from another country and put all your love and hard work into raising her while your real daughter has no parental figure during the most important phases of maturation and develops with multiple psychiatric abnormalities. Oh and make sure you never communicate with your real daughter in any form during this time - god forbid her misunderstanding that you care about her. It's been a while since I've been irked like this over chinese cartoons. Absolute garbage series 3/10 try again and this time try a non-drivel justification for the cunt. |
| Damn, two solid minutes of two girls heavy breathing. Forgot what I was watching there for a second. |
~my list
| was expecting haikyuu like level of fun, but got too much drama. i jumped around the manga and it seems the anime made the right choice and dropped a bunch of stuff. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| i hated that mother too much so i grade it 6/10 |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| For everyone who doesn't seems to get it.. -Ayano DID NOT forgive her mother. -This is NOT a sports anime, it's a drama about Ayano dealing with abandonment issues through badminton. (same with side characters and their problems) -Uchika is a flawed human, she did not get a good ending, she still does not know or understand anything about her daughter on a mental or emotional level -Ayano is not 'cured' of her issues, she merely took the first step to getting better. she learns that losing doesn't mean getting abandoned, her teammates supporting her even though she lost reveals this to her. -'Edgy' or 'Dark' Ayano is her competitive personality (I'm betting a lot of you have no idea what this is actually like unless you've played sports), while the bad sportsmanship was a bad behavior trait that stemmed from her personal issues with her mother, moving forward Ayano should be able to fix this problem but can still be cocky and taunt her opponents. |

| I'm just want to say that this final match is epic like I'm just watching Olympic women's single final match...the intensity is like a real match... Hope for season 2...and more another badminton anime series if could... |
| Slightly disappointed. The parts with 'cold Ayano' were the best, so the ending seems pretty meh to me. Although I'm happy Nagisa won. I wanted to see Ayano beat Connie infront of Uchika, too. Ah well. |
 柵の向こうには 本当に狼などおらぬのか |
| Not bad, but they could have included some top players who would have stolen the show: |
 |
| 6/10 because i absolutely despise shitty MC. But i really like Nagisa and her waifu, wish this anime was about them only. |

Too many crappy opinions about this great anime. A summary of how wrong they are.  |

Read first comment. |
LOL. Says the blind fanboy. |
I didn't know facts were a juvenile thing. Thanks for the info. |
| I didn't like how the series ended, I would have liked it more if Ayano told her mom staright in the face "when you die I will spit on your grave". I will lower my score for this series to 5/10 mainly because Ayano didn't properly break up with the b*tch mom, if Ayano had treated her mom the same way Dio from JoJo anime treated his dad then I would have given it a 10/10. Edit:- after reading the last chapter of the manga it's now more understandable why the mom left her like that, for sure it was a wrong dicision but it was understandable so I will increase my rating to 7/10. |

| hmm Idk, a prodigy that lost her mum for badminton losing to a drama chick who just wanted to show everyone she was cool.. and not to mention the fact she got through her 12 episode long trauma through the fairy tail route in just 4 mins of runtime...idk man seems kinda like a lame power of friendship shit to me. |
 Your life to come is bound to make you smile |
| [quote=Tarotist message=55852362] This killed me. I gave it the same score, so long as you don't think too hard about all the sudden character shifts, it is good. I also found creepy Ayano legitimately horrifying for some reason. |
So, yeah its a 7/10. Thats it. Like i said, it will be good if the story conclude some great way to finished the mom's problem. Like slap her or kill her. Since that shit never happen, its useless to make Ayano characterization looks so creepy like that. The way they kept so hard to keep everything like nothing happened really yuck to be remember. Its shit. I even called it a trash. Damn. The good trash. I am just like the hypocrite too. But, whatever. Thats it. More biased one decision to saved the bad neck. So, yeah, thats it. I don't care anymore. Move on. |

| What a weird way to end that mother - daughter drama... it wasn't worth at all and this drama ruined the anime I think, the badminton part was interesting and most of the characters were good but well it was clearly too overdramatic for me, and too bad because the psychological part could have been really interesting. |
 |
| My 76th completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| That was a disappointing ending. I wanted to see Ayano win and tell her mother to go to hell. Or better still, shorten the match with Nagisa (it dragged on too long anyway) and have Ayano beat her mother at a game. Maybe it's not realistic, but I'd like to have seen her show her mother just what she abandoned. Oh well, another one for the "great until they screwed up the ending" pile. :( |
