| Looks very good! I hope for 20+ episodes! |
 |
| Inb4 they use up 80% of their animation budget in the first episode (which I assume is what we see in the PV) and the rest of the season has mediocre/bad animation. |
 |
| Average looking. Can't expect anything from Studio ENGI. |
| heard that this manga won awards?! tbh the anime looks (and will most likely be) kinda shit for an award-winning manga, as expected from engi. |
| Loli IMAS actress in the lead role, but Kana-chan as her main rival? Why? |

| @StyxParadise I doubt the sports showcasing will be limited to just the first episode. @ryoko6 I don't understand why people call the animation terrible. It looks like a typical mid-budget sports shonen anime. |

| Looks better than I expected. Time will only tell. |

| The animation looks pretty solid so far, hoping for the best. |
