There is just something about sports animes or just any anime with a plot revolving around the characters building their team and improving their skills that gets me so motivated to learn something new myself, and with that in mind, I decided to give this one a go despite the plain concept--no isekai, no special powers, and no cute girls on the poster (lol).
Huge props to the animators for doing the character's forms, which you will be able to see from the opening in the very beginning (You will grow to appreciate the opening more as you get deeper into the anime.) But since it's a sports anime after all, at times there is a fair bit of drama that sometimes might even seem unnecessary, but at least it doesn't go on for long and tends to be resolved in that particular episode.
The anime is about a men's cheerleading club in a university, which starts off only with two members. As they gain more members for the club, issues that didn't exist before begin to arise since there are a lot of them eventually, kicking off the character development that I crave in all animes. And again, as usual, I really enjoyed Cheer Danshi for the friendship and growth alongside learning more about cheerleading in general as I also thought it was just a group of girls dancing with pompoms when in actuality, that's most likely a half-assed version, and the real one requires lots of training, fitness, and patience like any other competitive sports.
/Something surprising happened in the second last episode that reminded me of a similar scene in Darling in the Franxx, but I wasn't too shocked tbh lol
//I wonder how much Pocari Sweat paid the studio for the product placement.
