But a boring slice of life was there instead.
I'll keep it short and sweet my dedicated fans as I have no good things to say about this anime.
First up, story. Great premise, poor writing. Dialogue is repetitive and offensive to the ears. Cliche and repeat phrases litter each and every episode so much so, you could use this anime as the basis for a drinking game. However beware you might come away with some alcohol poisoning.
Next art and animation...no budget here or what? Oh sorry, they blew it all on stupidly paced and over exaggerated fifty episodes. Twice the time, half the story. Stills overused, sloppy animation and terrible character designs reign supreme. Who in their right minds draws characters that look like they just had their jaw jacked and their lips fattening up due to the impact?
Characters, yep dull lifeless and boring. Most you could give two Shit$ less about because well you know, more cliches. Half of them were irrelevent to the story except being used for garbage plot devices. Sora's mother was the best and deepest character their was and she f-ing (spoiler) died.
Sorry, that warning was a tad late...but that's how I feel after watching 41 episodes.
Ahem, anyway, overall pacing was a serious issue where crappy dialogue and no action took place along with stupid good for nothing slice of life garbage. Either be a sports anime or a slice of life...wait sorry, it is a slice of life. Exaggerated point for those interested in watching this: IT'S A SLICE OF LIFE TITLE ya'll.
Did I enjoy it? Nope, kind of felt like I paid $200 for a hamburger and only got a pickle slice. Will you enjoy it? Probably not if your wanting to see a sports anime where the little guy overcomes all obstacles to fulfill his desires. But if your into crappy interpersonal type slice of life because your life sucks and you want to watch other peoples life's suck, yep, 100%.
In closing....those lips?!? Sorry, this one tanked in my opinion and that's valuable time I can't ever get back as I was subjugated to high school whiny drama instead of a solid sports packed overcoming difficulties title.
