Mixed Feelings
As a sports Anime, the series was definitely a bit of a let down. I think one of the things I struggled with the most was how our main characters rival - probably better labeled as a nemesis - got away with pulling stuff which would get her expelled or eliminated from competing instantly, yet the narrative let her slide in these regards despite the fact she should have been found out way before our main entered school. Her attitude stunk that much.

The series was also preachy with an unnecessary religious vibe regarding sports, but the set up for the given situation - as interesting as it was - was done poorly. I was also left thinking separate doesn't mean equal - the boy's school isn't mentioned until plot relevant and quickly leaves, yet I was left feeling as if this was content pandering to a male audience. Well, it it is shounen after all. I couldn't help but feel the work was a bit fanservacy.

It's also worth noting there is LGBT content, yet I feel this was meant to pander towards the male audience rather than really have representation. Personally, I wished for a little more development regarding these elements.

This said, character, art and sound were top notch, not to mention the fact I could follow through with the movements even if some of the things didn't make sense, like a certain student not getting punished despite the fact a computer system would be able to detect she was messing with such things.
