I enjoyed it so much, not only because of the characters (mainly because of it), but i have to highlight the character development, it's a strong point of this anime. Each character has their own motivations, fears, and aspirations, contributing to a diverse and well-rounded cast. The series explores the friendships and rivalries among the characters, delving into their personal struggles and growth both in and out of the pool.
However, like any series, those who enjoy character-driven narratives, "sports drama", and themes of friendship and rivalry are more likely to enjoy it.
The animation and art style have a good quality, especially in depicting the fluidity and intensity of swimming competitions. The character designs are well-crafted (kinda cliche, but loved them so much), and the visuals effectively capture the athleticism and ~grace~ of the swimmers :)
