I really liked how the main mc didn't just do it first time, and instead is actually learning and growing into the sport. Which I think is a nice touch.


Took the words right outta my mouth. I was really hoping she wouldn’t be this over powered character who could do everything first try. It’s nice to see characters grow and develop overtime :)

Yo, actually Nono senpai, and Buchou were a popular and very talented climber. They even success reaching the winner podium by themself? I am surprised by that information, and their decision to accepted Konomi just hilariously crazy. They surely knew the power of the MC. Lol. Well, at least their motives to recruit people was clear, to tried winning group division. And yeah, they did it!

The determination of Konomi kinda strong on these one, even though the result was not so surprising. He got manipulation at her first try! However, since this is her first official tournament, no way she could overcome the experience climber in one day only. So, yeah, this episode kinda realistic to me, kinda. What else? Ah, yes, she already attracted some maniac coming over his pure intentions. Damn those twos, and their interaction at the end, surely funny. Haha!

Well, more girl climber already introduced. That idol, tho. The hell? XD Spider climber, panther climber, ballerina climber? And many more! By the pacing style of these one, its no doubt that they might've ended up their journey at National competition, as their wish. So, lets see how well the progression of the team. That end style, tho. XD these girls just amused so much. Nice!

Jun was more bearable this episode though I'm not sure if it was only because there was a girl even more annoying that her. Anyways, still glad she redeemed herself by comforting Konomi when she was feeling down.

I liked that episode. They finally introduced us some of other climbers and it's starting to driving off slowly. In this moment I don't really get, why it has such a low score :D

This show is growing on me. We got our first tournament taste in this series, with Konomi already getting nervous as a newbie will normally do. Sights are high, as Nonoka and Sayo are already doing well for themselves. But as Konomin as about to debut her climbing skills, we get a fellow player called Akane. Don't get caught by her purry ways, she can actually scratch you from the back. And Konomi took the bait which cost her first try.

Jun gave her an advice to trust herself and not others if she wish to win. Konomi regaining her drive tries to win for the second time but (in a sports anime) she actually fails. That was a something but just like they say. You don't succeed overnight, it takes some painful trial & error to gain something. And with that, her love of climbing has finally been cemented. With the whole team eyeing for the Nationals. I finally love this anime and I'm hoping for the team to take that chicken dinner at the end!

Now if you wish to move on from here, don't read beyond this point! Seriously.

That catpun girl was just horrible, but I think we're gonna see a whole lot of her. I have the feeling she will become the closest rival for Konomi.

Konomi was a bit of a fool to listen to an outsider, but managed to compose herself again in her second climb. Too bad she didn't finish her second climb either, but she made good progress for just her second climb.

"Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner", well Konomi is a gamer to the core. I loved that part XD

Love the art style and the OST is very springy, deff gives me girls doing sports vibes. Not to sound cringey, but I feel as if I can feel their emotions (more specifically the Mc). My stomach was in knots while watching this I felt like I was doing all the stressing for her lmao. Highly enjoying this :)

Good episode, I definitely enjoyed that better than the first episode probably because the characters has already established themselves. And I am all about good and entertaining characters.

Akane is a bitch though, she puts cat girls name to shame. She doesn't deserve to use those cat puns lmao. Iwamine you better punish her right.

Konomi really do be representing the gamers in here, let's get them chicken dinner girls.

The show isn't necessarily entertaining or oozing good visuals, and the character interactions are mediocre but I do admire the dedication in showing the lessons and learning of rock climbing to have some somewhat organic development of skills in a weird way.

How awful! I can't believe that girl pretend to be friendly to Konomi. That jealousy doesn't look good to that wannabe kitten. Not liking to see the others rise before her is a bad sign. Never trust your rivals! >-> At least Jun knew that girl is trouble. I really don't wanna know what that spider girl is going to do with that kitten thought XD

I wonder why the pop idols are included in climbing... it made me cringe a little. And a ballerina?? How does that even work? XD

Konomi did great for her first tornament. I want to see her progress at climbing from now on and can't wait for next week :)

So they're not an underdog team like in most sports anime but already a well-known powerhouse? I like that part. It's refreshing for a change.

Nice ep, I like that Konomi did pretty good for her first outing but didn't place unlike her more experienced club seniors.

That nya girl indulging in crab mentality.
But the rabbit spider girl will teach her a lesson, whatever that means....


Also I really wish they had more animation in the rock climbing parts.

Why is no one talking about Yukarin?!?! Though she only appeared in the first and last part of the episode.

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...

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.

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

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.

Akane and her constant cat puns are hilarious.

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