Story and characters: 5
You'd be foolish to think this was purely a sports kind of anime, when it's more a mix of that, and a idol like anime. Which is a very interesting combo, and I'd honestly say, the flashy moves during the first two episodes, do remind me of Galactic Football a bit. But a low tier version of it, not that they're not trying, it just doesn't really impressive the view with what it has, or least doesn't get past the point that you would be jumping out your seat, and recommending it to your family and friends.
It really shows with it's characters, they're pretty simple, and have relatable goals. A bit of good and bad point with them honestly. As they really do nothing to stand out, but they're still a nice bunch despite that, with many more to come. It's a good cast, but not great. Not that they need to stand out, while simple, they're fine on their own two feet.
But it's not completely bad, it's cute, has it's charming moments, and is uplifting for an anime. It reminds me of an anime for kids, where everything works for the heroes, or least it goes their way in the end, hard work, and team work work best, and you can over come anything. That kind of flavor. It's fits that niche super well, which it deserves credit for. So I can't down it completely, because it does it's job there. It's anime that's more kid friendly.If you're looking for something more action packed, best look elsewhere though.
Art and sound: 7
I'd honestly rate it nicely. While it's simple on the eye, but like most idol animes, the sound is always good. From the character sounds, and reactions, to how they sing too. But an extra few points do go to the animation of the special moves, they really do flow nicely, despite my negative points, I cannot fault that at all. While simple and being fitting, it goes along with the kind of show it is.
Extreme Hearts sounds cool, but is more kid friendly type of anime then anything more. If you're not really a fan of that, best look elsewhere, but if you're into a nice anime to watch. Then go for it.
