Story 8/10: The premise is fairly straightforward, it's basically about Minato, the main character, coming back to archery after having abandoned it for quite some time, and him learning to see the sport itself from a different perspective. I liked Minato's struggle with archery and the team, but to me it felt like his story didn't really have a climax.
Art 9/10: It's KyoAni, so there's a particular level of quality to be expected, but I really hated certain character designs, and the standout moments from an art or animation perspective weren't as abundant as in other KyoAni shows. It's nice to look at, but it's not their absolute best work.
Sound 9/10: This is the one area in which it excels. The voice acting is very good, and the soundtrack has quite a few amazing tracks though it rarely stands out within the show itself.
Character 6/10: Unfortunately, I didn't fall as in love with the characters as I wanted to. All in all there were about four characters I loved, and only two of them got any substantial screentime and development. I didn't much care for Minato, I don't know why, he just didn't grab my attention at any point of the show, I even found him annoying at times, along with Ryohei and Kaito who were annoying 99% of the time. This resulted in me skipping quite a few scenes and rejoicing when my favourite characters were on screen, only to deflate soon after because dammit I wanted more of them.
Enjoyment 7/10: I was bored at times, which is why I skipped scenes, but there were other scenes that were incredibly beautiful, though none of them made me really emotional.
Overall 7/10: It had great potential, and I had fun following it every week, so it's definitely worth watching, even just for the limited number of amazing scenes and the soundtrack, but it probably won't ever have a place on my list of favourite shows by KyoAni.
