I rated this a 5.
(spoiler ahead)
First of all I didn't really have a problem with the plot or the fact that the team lost every match they ever played. Also people have mentioned that this anime supposed to be realistic but if we're being realistic the team would probably be depressed, losing every match, struggling with life, Death of a close one(Sora), also losing their advisor, club room and more thanks to their leader just saying.
Pacing(-666666666666666666666669)
One issue for me was the freaking PACING. its so slow!!, it took a whole 50 episodes just for 4 matches. basically 10 episodes for a match. Many unnecessary episodes(ex. ep 38, a whole episode wasted on looking for Madoka's lost earring)
Characters-4
Then there's the characters, most of them are annoying, i'm still wondering why Madoka is even a (MAIN) character . Like how? Seriously I thought this was a sport anime surrounded around the development of the team, Nanao's not even a main character. I'm not going to rant on about Madoka, just know her entire existence in this show pisses me off.
Animation-3
Honestly the animation wasn't that great, a lot of still frames for matches but I still felt the hype so it wasn't that bad. I get that this anime focused on the character development and all but it's still a sport anime there should be some animation.
Art-6
Now I haven't read the manga but I checked out the first chapter to compare the art in the anime to the manga, I guess it simalar but I have no idea what the animators where doing.
I don't reccomend this to anyone who likes KNB
