Last time I've checked:


Female Sports climbers don't wear something like this for training, cu'z that obviously belongs someone who is into track and field or athletics .



They would usually be in legging, to keep prying eyes from guys ogling at their butt cheeks.

Pleasantly surprised that this isn't a 3 min short, but then again, now there's the chance that this might get boring quickly. As much as I was looking forward to this, it wasn't all that good. Was also hoping for more ripedness(looked better on the cover)

And rather than CGDCT I would rather say it's SGDSS


What does SGDSS mean?

Wow, that was both boring and awful.
This is a blend of a sports anime and cute girls doing actives, which should be awesome and it's just not, which is just a shame.

As a guy who has gone for rock climbing a few times and enjoyed it myself (both indoor and outdoor rock climbing), I was hoping for just a simple and fun experience without expecting too much.

And in the end, this anime premiere felt lackluster. The visuals too feel really cheap even though I don't mind the designs. Music underwhelmed me too when going with the climbing itself. Lacked intensity nor personality that fit the experience of rock climbing, especially when competing.

It's not abysmal but the weak production and generic characters leaves it a bit dull and flavorless and lacking of any impact whatsoever. Doesn't celebrate nor sell the fun and beauty of rock climbing.

Haha I didn't expected this, i liked a lot the first episode.

Konomi looks beautiful af and the fact she could climb so good since first due to being an "ex-pro-gamer" in the past is cool.

And people really think play games is absurd lol.

This is the first competitive climbing anime ever made...........probably..........don't quote me on that. I've also never heard of the studio Blade so for me this show is like a total mystery.

First episode already getting into the good stuff. The soundtrack is pretty good too and holy is Jun's physique crazy. Can't wait for the competition!

Good first episode :)

If they can give us hype sports moments like Keijou did for me (I unironically think Keijou is a great sports anime), I will enjoy this.

While CGDCT is one of my favorite genres, this show needs to stay away from that. I've been wanting a epic sports anime with female characters, and everytime they all seem to fall flat (sans Keijou). I hope this can continue to be interesting, and doesn't end up focusing too too much on slice of life yuri bait. Save that for the shows it actually belongs in. Focus on what makes this title stand out please.

Overall the episode was pretty solid. Absolutely jumped to a bit too quick of a start though. We had multiple technical terms, and an edgy rival/teammate backstory flash by. I hope this doesn't move too quickly.

Idea is cool. Climbing is a sport that is gonna give us a lot of "THOSE" shots. Works well for the genre.

Execution... not so great. The girls look stiff, bad CG, some weird fillers. Doesn't feel like story alone can carry us through either.

I'll keep watching, but I'm not impressed.

Interesting, it's decent but not anything super good yet.

Though Konomi being a gamer made me like her more. And she pulled off what we call a pro gamer move lmao.

Its was okay and as others said not the most interesting or unique anime ever made. But for once I actually came for the rock climbing and not the anime girls because I love climbing and I've been climbing since I was young. I just wanted to see how this compares to real climbing, and its not too bad.

So, thats it a climbing club sport girl. This is definitely the same trope of CGDCT at their sports club usual anime. Well, its not so cute to be honest, just 'a well body built' of the girl. Idk why but i just laughed hard when they just went into a tournament the day after they launched a duel between Jun and Konomi. Oh, well, such a cliche plot that i don't mind it at all. Its even showed the damn funny reason for Konomi to liking the sport climb. A puzzle game? Were there any people like these before to see the damn wall as a pieces of puzzle? Well, at least its hilarious. So, really, i don't mind it at all. Its really fine per my standard. Such a funny way to introduced the MC. XD

The first chemistry between them was okay. Its really understandable. A rivalry that aroused very quickly soon can lead them into their personal motivation to get better. Such an okay way to proceed their next goals. Well, beside the art and animation were average and pretty much default, sounds at least very catchy to me. I really hope that Konomi and her team just won their first tournament next week. Its must beway too fun and hilarious to seen, if they really did into that route, rather than a normal lose, progressed, and then won that shit on their others tournament. Lets see....

Wow another surprise for me, I thought this was gonna be some fanservice anime but the fanservice was quite low and the actual climbing sport was really exciting.

The four club members are likeable and I liked watching them climb, it was exciting. The fanservice was pretty good quality too even thou it wasn't that much. This is gonna be a fun ride.

Aren't those clothes more fitting for athletics/track and field rather than climbing? Just wondering.

Overall, actually interesting first episode but man, Jun was such a pain to deal with. Just let the girl enjoy her first climbing experience for fuck's sake.
On the other hand, I found Konomi's personality rather likeable so I doubt I will have problems with her. The fact of her having such strong arms without proper training is... weird, among other aspects but considering the absurd moves some of the girls do in the PVs, I guess I will simply ignore the logic aspect for now.

Anyways, I'm interested in seeing what this series will bring us.

P.S.: Also looking forward to that Onsen/Ryokan episode teased in the ED ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, I'd next to no expectation whatsoever so this episode was kind of meh-ish for me. NGL, I expected a lot more fan-service though but well we did get a decent supply of it nonetheless.

Animation quality was quite unimpressive too but not to the extent of off-putting, so I can deal with that.

God, that Jun character though... Main Character, on the other hand, was fairly entertaining to keep up with. Ballet to Hardcore Gaming and now Climbing, that's quite the resume to have. Activating her pro-game mode though, yeah that was cool xD.

Not bad start. I'll continue watching it I guess.


It's Keijo actually.
競女 -> けいじょ -> Keijo. Literally a women competition (I don't know why 競 which is competition had "kei" reading here while usually it's "kyou" for competitive activities). 女/じょ which is "jo" , not "jou" (means woman).
Sorry, I had to.

What a fun start! i'v never heard of a Rock climbing sport anime but im glad its not trying to do to much of an ecchi route but also go into the little details about rock climbing itself like techniques and strategy's for its puzzle like nature. Pretty normal character setup though. I hope this anime gets really good and also focusses on the dynamic the two main girls have. Nice first ep looking forward to this.

Still CGDCT, but it's "Cute Girls Doing Climbing Things" this time.

Came in thinking it'll be more fanservicey like Kandagawa Jet Girls but it's surprisingly more on a serious side. I don't mind it tho. It was entertaining anyway.

I'm a gamer too. Maybe I should start this sport or something :D

It's just another (obscure) form of onyomi reading. When will Japanese learners realize that there's a shitload of ways to pronounce kanjis, and anime takes a lot more liberty even beyond that?

Sorry, I had to.

I started watching it hoping that it'll be something in vein of Hanebado (mostly due to its posterhere on mal) but I'm afraid it has potential of turning out to be another ecchi. I'll go with the 3 ep rule for it, but the amount of static panels and a complete noobie acig the wall doesn't bode well.

Didn't think I was actually gonna be disappointed in something I didn't have much expectation in to begin with.

I would probably have enjoyed it to some degree if most of the climbing wasn't a slide show. On top of that, I don't care for any of the characters, I guess you could say they all have a weak entrance.

The way main character was recruited felt so unnatural and off. Her visualizing the path is just strange. It's like saying I'm good at match 3 games so that makes me good at sports. Okay.

Fanservice was weak, which is honestly the only thing I think could keep me watching.

I actually do rock climbing, so I enjoyed this episode more than others. I really liked the rock climbing scenes; they were pretty intense.

However, as a real rock climber, I have some bones to pick:
1. A beginner would definitely not be as good as Konomi. Rock climbing is exhausting. Everyone I know who climbed for the first time become so sore and tire, that they are unable to even pick anything up. I'm not even out of shape, but the first time I did rock climbing, I couldn't even type on a keyboard afterwards.
2. In the competition scene, Konomi was given a 2 minute head start. Unless you are incredibly strong, there is no way you can be climbing for at least 2 minutes straight and not be tired. I've done problems that were long (still less than a minute), but by the time I'm almost to the top, my muscles are just so worn out that I would just fall to the ground, even if I'm just two steps away from the top.
3. For someone who tried rock climbing for the first time with no tape on her hands, the underside of her fingers should be bloody and completely scraped.
4. Basically, combined with all of the above, there's no way she would be ready for tomorrow's competition. She would probably need at least two or three days of rest just to recuperate.

But yeah, I'm only nitpicky because I love rock climbing... and I miss it dearly (Covid has shut down my rock climbing gym for months)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.
