Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (20/50 eps)
Remember when people are complaining about Kuroko no Basket being the DBZ of sports? And despite the backlash, KnB still stand as most popular sport anime (slightly behind with Haikyuu!! Based on MAL). So "realism" here is not really what people wanted.

Ahiru no Sora starts like your typical sport anime. New kid in school that wanted to join sport club, and amaze everyone with their "unique" perk.

Early episode got me hooked up, but later on it's just not excite me anymore.

-Very slow pacing, the anime tried to show realism in anime, which ended up feels unrealistic/fail in its own case.

- Reason people watch sport anime is for the action-fast paced sport feeling in sense of anime and conflict/drama in between sport matches. Ahiru no Sora fail to be strong in any of those points. the pacing is so slow in matches that you don't feel the adrenaline, and drama fall short after characters arc (usually early-on before joining) but some backstory is great.

- Mediocre art and animation. I think it's okay, but most viewers would expect higher animation than this. lots of pauses animation during matches. we expect more 'action' in the animation.

Even if you didn't want to include super power in the anime, take the Haikyuu!! approach with the friendship/training drama or just straight up focus in the matches action like KnB or Eyeshield21


after watched Ahiru no Sora, I can't describe how I miss show like Kuroko no Basket or Eyeshield21, at least those are entertaining and actually works.
