| Was a fun show overall. I kinda expected some romance, but alas... nothing. Best episode out of all the episodes and the most visually appealing as well. 6/10. |
 |
| I really hope that's not the reason for that low score. |
 |
| 5 stars flying together eh??? so.. the point of whole series is to promoting the VN here comes the sequel too. damn too much salt inside me |
Rocksterrock said: Predicting the ending rn: Asuka gonna win They gonna eat udon Masaya still won't be the MC The end eh I was pretty much right, lol though it was pretty obvious. Anyway I'll say it again, as an adaptation this show failed (at least thats what it looks like). As being a decent sports anime? Not bad imo. 6/10. I know people are sad about no romance but judging by how the show went with the short time of 12 episodes, most likely even if they did incorporate it they would've just cock teased and had no romantic conclusion which would've been worse imo. That being said, cutting it out entirely was also pretty bullshit for a visual novel adaptation so idk, this show probably needed 24 episodes. |

| I'll rewatched this again..... and then forget about it. 1/10 for effort of making the series. |

| And finally the final competition, the battle itself was even good, but the end where all are very honest and they are all happy already is very cliche, about the anime in general I really missed the romance, the closest a couple in my opinion was Asuka and Misaki, Masaya that would be the protagonist was in the background most of the time, well, I really hoped for quite novel, but the plot was quite simple and without much development, for those who like fictional sports can be a good anime to spend time .. |
  |
| alright series nothing really bad about it nor was there anything noteworthy should of dropped the romance tag since there was none to be found lol...and the MC as well because he felt more like a side character. good finale, 6 sideboobs out of 10 also both the ED&OP were some of my favorites this season But Ray always makes me feel good. |

| As a Seishun Sports Comedy that focuses on camaraderie, overcoming setbacks and besting your own limits, this show did really well indeed to promote and portray all of these things. Whilst a bit more focus could have been placed on the mechanics of the Flying Circus, we really cannot complain all that much since this is pretty much a fictional sport, and I highly doubt the author intended for it to be too much more than a plot point from the outset. I guess the more frustrating thing would be the lack of romance and connecting drama, especially since this was originally based on a romance-themed VN. Hence most viewers were probably thinking that part of the show should have been a given, which in the end it wasn't. The fact that Masaya could have been swapped with a female character, and nothing in the plot would have changed also attests to this: the MC was essentially NOT the MC, but just a Narrator in this story about a girls-centric school sports club. I guess building up a character like that in the pre-anime synopsis, only to see him drop to "villager B" status wasn't that well received, eh? On the whole I personally found it an interesting watch, considering it's been a while since a non-mainstream sports themed show for girls was put out on the market (read: Not Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball or Swimming), so that in itself was a novelty. The lack of romance throughout, whilst deceiving (due to the tags and the original VN source) actually made sense here, simply because the focus wasn't on the alleged MC, but rather the girls of the show. Visually I enjoyed the fights and the panoramic scenery, and the songs were pretty good as well. 8/10 for what it turned out to be, and not for what it was billed to be. Thoroughly enjoyed the show, despite the false advertisement. It wasn't until the very last ED montage that Masaya got over his issues with FC after all, and we didn't even get to see the development process for him much either. |

| great final episode, that romance tag is so misleading anyhow 7/10 for the series but the OP song is so good plus the insert song so 8/10 |
 |
| This finale was so much hype! That was great! Balancers off, fantastic last game. Congrats Asuka!    |

| Okay, so I guess they completely removed any sort of romance, but it honestly still worked. This last episode was pretty cool and exciting. Not sure if a 7 or 8 for me... but I may be leaning a bit more towards the 7 since I wanted a little bit of romance lol Gonna finally get around to continuing the VN, may only gain a little bit of progress given that my understanding of Japanese is pretty minimal lol Also, wasn' that the VN opening inserted into their battle? o_O That's pretty cool. |

| Really really great final episode! 5/5 This turned out to be quite the little hidden gem of a series, I definitely wouldn't say no to a season two :) 8/10 |
| Does anyone know the title of the song that played at the end of ep. 12? is it another song off the visual novel? I know it's not the opening song nor the original ending song and it's not Wings of Courage. Overall I enjoied this series, was hype for it at first, but lost the hype as the anime progress. Sadly I can't read Japanese, so I can't read the VN, unless I use Visual Novel translator xD, the English translations seems to be having some issue :/. |
| The Last episode sucked some life out of this for me, The "asuka's amazing" thing really was pushed way too hard. |

| While I'm sure this series from the get go pissed off fans of the game. I honestly was enjoying the character drama and stories much more then I probably would if they had gone down that romance angle. Heck I probably would have dropped the series come when that romance got serious. Overall I liked the direction they went for and it gave me something that I've never had, an actual honest to god thrill from watching a sports anime. It brought everything I love about character dramas and put them in a sports anime package. While cliche at times it was a thrill to watch and I would recommend it to people who actually don't like sports anime. |

| The moment when Asuka came out of the water with large wings and smile on her face, I got chills on my spine. CHILL! 8//10 |
| Spoilers lmao xD Okay, so there wasn't much character development, and the safety issues in this are just ignored, I ranted about that in the Episode 11 forum though. But worst of all, this series rushed itself, and had three routes to choose from; The Clichè Line The Inui Line And the Pain Line (Someone gets hurt) Not only did the ending take the Clichè line, but everyone was happy at the end, even more clichè to add on. Oh, and I like how they introduced the balancers in like, the third to last episodez Thats like adding rifle scopes into a hunting game. This is my 2nd actual post on a forum. I expected much more than this anime (I actually started the anime because of the romance tag). I found out many of this anime's flaws, yet I still expected something good out of it. I r8 this an 6/10, good design and sound |
| ur mum gay lol Soundcloud - Lunar Aura |
| I was half expecting sorairo days to play as an insert song hahaha. Decent ending to an average anime 6/10 |
| I'm confused... this felt too short for a LN series. I thought it was 24, not 12? The finale didn't leave much of an impression... but I'll be nice about the series anyways. 8/10 |

It was mainly just a lighthearted fun anime start to finish, didn't none of the characters give off that Aura for you? its ok to adapt only common route i mean asuka route, but masaya deserve better the anime didn include him in the way asuka beat saki . looks like asuka come out nowhere and beat goddess fc with beginner luck. he just in peasant level in this anime |
| Asuka couldn't hold her ground with balancers off before but, Magically, could fly n fight n win in off mode now. wow. Just leave it to Anime logic to get your desired end no matter how unreasonable it is. Saki looked like not trying her best either before cutting off her balancer. which was a let down. Didn't like the finale. The series was neither good nor bad. May not watch a second season. |
 |
| I personally enjoyed this series quite a bit, romance tag should definitely be removed at least, for this season. There was much more romance development in the visual novel, but this season didn't cover it I suppose. Masaya x Misaki = Best Ship |
| Liked the end a lot. Wouldn't mind a second season of this at all. Overall decent anime. Free! in the skies? /5 |
 |
| I was coming into this episode giving this a hands down 9/10. The characters were fantastic, Misaki was amazing and had some serious development. The animation was stunning. While I did notice a slight drop in art quality midway through the season, reading other comments it appears this was due to a short amount of time to make this happen. I can look passed it as it didn't bug me at all, I did take notice, though. This finale was incredible, though. Not going to lie, I had a few tears run down from the hugely inspirational joy that took place. This finale was done incredibly. Some might argue that it was *too* perfect, but I'd argue that. I'd say it went *perfectly* perfect. It actually brought about a couple moments of doubt, which led to an extremely compelling final fight. This finale was incredible, no other sport-related anime will come close to the amount of excitement and fun I felt in from this anime. Also, the OP and ED songs are awesome, I seriously enjoy them. For me, this was a 10/10. I loved every episode, I adored the characters. Most characters had good development, with actual reasons to develop. Not only was the action nail-bitingly great, but very beautiful and unique in its regard. I definitely want to play the VN now so I can dive more into these characters. I'm caught off guard by how sad I am that this is over and how much I ended up enjoying it in the end. Never would have predicted this when the anime first started. Just as was the inspirational focus of the anime finale, I had a lot of fun watching this! e: Extra blips. |

That was great! Balancers off, fantastic last game. Congrats Asuka! |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| This final fight bumped this show by one whole point for me. Asuka looks so badass throughout the whole match. Although it's a little cliched how she manage to control her shoes with the balancer off right away, it's anime so it's fine. |
ＲＥＡＬＩＴＹ ＩＳ Ａ ＣＲＡＰＰＹ ＧＡＭＥ  |
| This was an enjoyable lighthearted show overall. I wouldn't mind another season. |
| Well, I am still kind of angry about no romance, but it did not destroy my enjoyment of this anime. To tell you all the truth, I wanted to wipe that conceited personality of the girl with the green hair, however my wish was answered in this final episode lol She became one of the characters that I really hate. Also, yay!! Kurashina won, but what a spectacle.. This may be underrated, but it earned enough to get a 6.75 (Round it to 7.00) from me. Does anyone know the OST that happens in ever FC Battle? It is such a catchy tune |

| Definitely enjoyable. Romance tag is misleading though, like others have stated. Great series overall. 9/10. Looking forward to the squeal. |
CFKazu said: Definitely enjoyable. Romance tag is misleading though, like others have stated. Great series overall. 9/10. Looking forward to the squeal. Nah, if this Series don't have Romance tag it will great. 7/10 for me But I think there aren't 2 season for this series, just gonna wait for ENG translation for VN |
| What an amazing last match!! The moment when Asuka and Inui just circled each other in that big contrail circle was just perfect. Despite what the harem fans might say, I'm soooo glad they never put romance as a top priority in this anime. What I expected to be a low quality garbage harem VN adaption turned out to be one of the most enjoyable sports anime around. Like seriously, they portrayed the spirit of sports better than some actual sports anime. The slight touch of drama was done in a way that's non-obtrusive. No unnecessary dragging and solved with the power of friendship instead of the typical main MC magically solving every girl's problems. Every so often, cheesy friendship stuffs could go horribly in other series *cough*Fairy Tail*cough* but here the bonding between these girls just felt so natural and in fact, they were some of my favorite episodes. The fact that they put so much depth into the fictional sports is something I truly enjoy as well. I'm so gonna miss Flying Circus, I almost wish there's an actual video game for it. 8/10 |
 |
| I'm a simple person. I find an anime entertaining I rate high. NICE FC SCENE loved it so much!! |
| This episode was just GREAT,goddamn if all the episodes were like that i would have loved this anime.... This tension,this GREAT animation,this long matche,goddamn it was so good i got chills all along,not gonna lie before watching this episode i just wanted to end this anime and move on but now i just can't denie that i want a fucking season 2 with episodes like that. 7/10 overall.Kurashina best flying waifu |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Nice to see them spice it up. I always thought that the flying circus matches were usually bland. |
 |
This final episode was awesome :D. It was a very nice serie 9/10 , now I'm waiting for a ENG patch for the VN.  Hi Koichoco :D |

| A suitable ending for the series, even if it only gave closure to Asuka. Though I can't give credit for this anime exploring beyond what it was capable of it was no doubt a really fun watch. 6/10 |
 |
| Sux that Masaya didn't have that much of a role. But Asuka was a really fun character. Dem suits with the side Oppai and tight ass were awesome. Definitely the highlight of the show :P Misaki was cool too other than her emo moments. This last match was fun. The visual effects on Asuka's flying are really nice. 7.5 Fun series. |
 |
TheLittleRedHero said: Pretty nice finale for AoKana. I will say that actually. This series wasn't as impressive the more I got further, but it kept me entertained. I'll give it a 7/10 personally c: Even though the story was pretty mainstream the art was very good. Although the MC can overcome anything put me off a little. 8/10 just for art. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| Masaya, you will always be in our hearts This episode is pretty good, even if Asuka won ... :( decent anime, 6/10 |
| Really, holy shit. The episode was absolutely fantastic. What a way to end this show. And you don't often see CR translating the songs, lmao. Seems like they used the VN's OP song as an insert song here. Loved it. Overall, it was an enjoyable show. Wished there would be more focus on the male character, but alas. Lovely ending song as well. Might rewatch this show again some time in the future after this amazing episode. 8/10 for now. |

So now that the show is finished, can you edit out the "romance" tag? It maybe help flush out the salty people. |
