I held my breath during the entire performance, so glad they didn't mess up

honestly never felt goosebumps in a match/presentation sports anime until now, I was on the edge of my toes watching their routine!

Great episode! Those nervous jitters before any big game/contest/tournament are legit and I love how the coach pulled Shotaro out of them: "Enjoy being nervous, too." As you gather memories of the sport, it's true that you remember those nervous moments the most and remember enjoying that feeling too.

I was so worried for Shoutarou, but thankfully all worked out!

That said, I'm loving everything of this spokon anime: the animation, the characters, the music, and so on. o(^▽^)o

that was absolutely nerve wracking oh my god. i dont think its because it had a great build up or anything but more because i loved the characters so much. but definitely the best ep so far. and also one of the most "sports like" one since so far it had more sol comedy elements. even in the training camp. but that 3 minute performance was great, cg was captivating and enjoyable. the little training session at the beginning was nice too, with it going back and forth to shots of a pond, as shotaro's anxiety drags him down, lower and lower until he was stuck. but it was slowly lifted by his teamates, misato giving him a little pat on the back was nice. i couldnt help but laugh at the coach's words tho, the hell was that "you're talented. simplicity is what you're good at" ??? lmao we also got to see little bits of misato lore !! his teamate got injured? and maybe it was because of him? his mom also seems nice so im guessing his father is the strict one

That was a really good representation, I'm not surprised to see them on the 2nd place, too bad Onagawa did a little mistake they could have been first xD anyway now they're qualified for the tournament so it should be even more interesting but even harder for them.

The choreography was amazingly animated, coupled with Hayashi's great soundtrack, I must admit that I was a bit moved like the audience.

They did so well! Usually CGI in anime looks off, but it was executed really well here. Excited to see where my boys will go next!
I'm either crashing out or fujoing out.

The performance was really good but the music was what really made the performance stand out for me. I need to find the soundtrack for this.
