I used to play badminton a small while ago(and no I was not very good at it). At one stage, I also decided to quit watching anime since there weren't many I enjoyed and I started to play games instead of watch cartoons or TV series. However, my friends saw this anime and recommended and I was bit excited. But the more I watched, the more I was disappointed. Story was terrible, some crazy girl how was addicted to badminton, wasn't very that emotional although the creators tried to be. However, the way they play Badminton is supposedly "national/professional badminton level". Other commenters say that Hanebado! is one of the most realistic sports anime at the moment due to "no special powers" although you not only stupidly play with some long ass anime hair (which will get in the way) but able to dive smash in front of the net (which is not only practically dangerous and risky but impossible because you will hit the net), a 180 degrees spin to receive (stupid to do unless you're having fun which she is not) but for Ayano to be able to smash like a bullet is impossible. There are many reasons why in reality, she is trash and that this is not realistic. First, you will not get a full power smash when you're playing tennis for badminton, jumping to the sides and doing them god-like smashes. It's possible for the professionals you say? Well not only do they rarely do it in real life but the way they smash in the anime is not realistic. They are playing VOLLEYBALL. When smashing, the power comes from the wrist and a very quick swing of the elbow, a bit like a whip. Jump smashing is not always seen in Badminton but you only jump smash when the shuttlecock is high up enough and you have enough time to both move and jump. Movement in Badminton is very long and quick, taking large steps in order to get to the other corner. However they're doing... tip toe steps??? Ayano also cannot smash that strong if she grips her raquet that tight. In general, people who say how these people don't have super powers literally do not understand anything about what's going on. Kuroko no basket although have special abilities are still realistic with jumping, shooting, passing and movement are still realistic, although Kuroko doesn't really have a superpower, just people can't see him. In Haikyuu, it's not that Hinata can spike eyes closed, it's just stupid but it comes from all the trust he has for the prodigy setter Kageyama. Therefore, Hanebado is just trash and full of bullshit and nonsense.
