This Anime was one of the highlights of 2019 - at least within this genre if you ask me!! The characters fit their roles perfectly and I couldn't ask for a better dynamic between everyone! The dynamic between the main characters is so endearing and I fell in love with them in the first episode! Sports animes always get me as The deep relationship between the team members always get me. To be honest the fact that this is so short feels almost criminal! I would have loved to see more to it but for a first season it did an amazing job setting up a solid foundation for what I know will be a spectacular new seasires that will climb the ranks, while I am unaware of when the next season will come out I'll have to assume that it is going to happen soon and I will be ecstatic when it happens. What I am looking forward to the most is to see the growth in relationship between all of the characters but especially between Maki and Yuta. Seeing how much they get to each other and push each other's buttons while the two of them being an almost match made in heaven out on the court is a dynamic that I could talk about all day! The writers were able to add such depth in such a short amount of time that it draws you in and doesn't let go! The backstories added so far with each character gives them such contrasting characteristics yet at the same time giving them such motivation to continue to go forward even with setbacks, whether it be finatanly, emotionally, etc. they stay moving and following their dreams and its very inspiring and from a viewer's perspective you can see how the writers incorporated real life examples and motivations into the anime unlike some other more unrealistic standards that anime can push sometimes. Its easy to relate to the characters, even the more background ones as all of their emotions feel raw and natural instead a copy and paste of the same blank canvas. everyone of them has their own set personality but also has more to them then just being the funny one or the shy one, there is a reason behind every single one of them and Its very refreshing to see such effort being put into every aspect of an anime like this! I feel as if im rambling at this point lol But all in all its an amazing anime with beautiful art work, the animation can be a little choppy in some spots but it never takes away from the true beauty of the art work and the time and effort that you can clearly see was put into it. I recommend everyone who is on the fence about watching it to just if anything watch the first episode I promise you that you'll fall in love! Honestly all in all I give this anime a 4.5/5 star rating, a few points of just for some of the dialog being a little to bland and like I said for some of the jumps in editing and animation being a little low in some spots but besides that I can't find anything I can confidently complain about! definitely will be recommending to any friend that I know likes this genera of Anime or as an ice breaker!
