    More than I expected, highly recommend

    This show is really good, it's so much more than just a typical sports anime. It deals with serious themes and can be hard hitting at times. So far I'm loving it and the characters are warm and realistic. I seriously hope it does well, if you haven't watched it yet please do, also be sure to stay around till after the credits or you can miss something important. Was supposed to be a 24 episode series but got cut to 12 but the writer wants to complete it when possible, so likely to get continued if supported for anyone who has heard the ending isn't finished it's because there is supposed to be more after it. Really hoping for more, I love this show so much

    It's good

    I enjoyed it, it's not the best anime out there but it's entertaining. I liked the friendships, the representation and the message that tries to convey: everyone struggles with something. Recommend.

    A tale of Grit and Passion

    You might say "Another sports anime? come on". You are wrong, even unlike Haikyuu this anime takes on more Slice of Life approach and kids with some serious heavy baggage they carry. Just like any person on earth has problem, these kids have too and not many, almost 99% of the anime have overlooked this part of the characters life. But not this anime. So far not many episodes have been released, so this anime might become and discard the only beautiful and unique thing it has, Slice Of Life! But let's hope this anime meets the expectations it has created in the first 5 episodes.

    all in all, this is a very unique sports anime and has a good style so far.

    I loved it

    I loved this show honestly I got really sad when I heard it got cancelled I hope the story gets finished though not gonna lie I cried a little after seeing that it might just end like that lol

    Unique and realistic!

    The anime isn't really your typical sports anime, to put it shortly it's like Magical Madoka. There are several incidents that are touched upon and are very well written in. Your characters seem almost dislikable at the start however they grow and mature which you dont see in most anime . I highly recommend this as it shows how something as simple as soft tennis (unofficial tennis) is an escape for people who have very bad problems at home and their team mates help them cope with their issues in a healthier way.
