Animations are very dated and the resolution is pretty low. However some of the backgrounds are pretty good and the characters are well drawn... as long as they're in the foreground. Characters in the background are certifiably jank. Speaking of jank, the running animations. Some of the running animations are okay, but a lot of them are not very fluid and janky. The characters have depth, but they tend to be a bit cliche. That and the quality of the character depth is somewhat lacking. The story is kind of basic and cliche, and it would still be pretty decent if the show was eight episodes long. Unfortunately it's not, so the plot just rinses and repeats the same points until literally the last five minutes of the final episode. It gets a little old to say the least. The pacing from episode to episode is actually pretty decent though, and holds your attention. The pacing moves along the plot at a decent pace, but too bad the plot is circular. Voice acting is fine, the casting is fine, but the performances are pretty average and unimpressive. The soundtrack is pretty solid, but the op and eds are a little dated and average. Also it would be nice if we could leave the songs in Japanese, but they don't sound awful in english, even if some of the lyrics are trash. Overall it's a somewhat decent rom com, kinda cute, but really rough and dated. Also, Suzuka is not a very likable, she is kind of a baby throughout the entire show. If you really like rom coms though, this might be a worthwhile watch for you. If you're more interested in the sports... don't bother(although I will say what information is given about running is decently accurate). 6.05/10
