Decent series, it has done really well for being eye candy. Solid art with great looking curvy girls. Everything else-- animation, story etc. was mediocre at best. 6/10 overall.

Was I the only one bothered by lack of any males on the island apart from grandfather whose face wasn't even shown? I noticed this from the airport scene in episode 1 and it has bothered me until the very end.

Twas' an entertaining show, the final episode was open ended so if they choose to do another season-no problems.

I think im the only one who rooting for the blonde sisters to win, i love haruka and kanata but that win was not pretty convincing for me it could be better

Pretty good series its so relaxing to watch with some great "angle shots" and "bouncy balls"
The OP and ED really suits the theme of the anime especially the OP

9/10 for me its cutesy anime but if you look in its surface it can be deep. Kanata and the Eclair sisters actually have good background story

Akari was like the best character in this show, but after she was introduced she did absolutely nothing. It's like she was just there to give out those friendship hair things, which made no sense for her to do and which had no emotional power since only Haruka and Kanata felt like characters who really spent time together. I thought the first episode had a unique atmosphere for a sports anime, but sadly this series couldn't keep my interest for very long. But, I thought Ayasa and Narumi were both smoking hot and I liked the OST.

Oh boys and girls, such a bliss sport + girls and no men.

Those bodies, that art and animation, those oshiris~

7/10 (would give 7,5 if possible).

6/10 for me. I liked the first half of this anime, but after that I started to lose interest in the story and the matches started to feel repetitive. Even the last match it felt like I was watching the same thing over and over again.

Damn, this show was great. Likable characters with appropriate development, exciting matches, and pleasing visuals. The soundtrack though - phenomenal. Rasmus Faber and crew really took it to the next level. I would have enjoyed seeing the girls go on to nationals, but I'm also glad they didn't rush the last match to try and squeeze something in. Hope to check out the manga to continue with the story.

It's a bit boring and the movement of character when playing is not really that good but I like the character design (especially Kanata) so it's all good.

Of course the protagonists had to win in the end. Their justification for Akari being important was pretty exaggerated though, their friendship is pretty unstable if an accessory is that important to it.

Pretty good for a sports anime, if it had a bit more fanservice I would have really liked it. Claire best girl. 6/10

This show had some pretty unique dynamics, at least to me. The expected story would be Kanata being ditched by a glory hunting partner because she stopped growing (and then getting eventual revenge on the court), but it wasn't the case at all in this. She was just insecure and left despite having a kind and patient teammate who wanted to keep playing with her. That teammate goes on to be a dominant force, but still has regrets abut what happened. There's some unexpected nuance to it all, to go alongside all the tits and ass flying around.

I also liked the dynamics of the final match. Undersized Kanata + inexperienced Haruka vs 2nd best team in the country, usually this would just be a standard plucky underdogs vs a dominant force, something most sports stories have at some point. But then there's the added layer of the twins not ever having beaten Kanata when she was motivated ("had that look" as Claire put it), since Kanata herself was the dominant force when she was younger (and the same height as everyone). So the dominant team also has their own mountains to climb in the same match.

Anyways wholesome/10, despite it being a competitive anime everyone is very kind to each other.

Yeeeeeees they won, nice way to end the anime I think, well overall it was fine I think, especially for the entertainment part, the shiny colors were also enjoyable + the tension from the last match was definitely the most interesting thing from this anime, it would be good to get a second season

Amazing match! This was a very emotional episode.

Overall, this was a pleasant surprise. Much better than I expected. The girls were very pretty and I really liked their interactions and backstories. Both animation and OST were also great.

I really would like to see Haruka and Kanata vs. Narumi and Ayasa

It appears the sponsorship was so strong that they didn't allowed any distortion(squash/stretch) to the ball. Can't help but kept getting distracted by the rigid 3D-Mikasa's Ball.
rest everything was enjoyable!

Enjoyed this way more than Haikyuu (because of the hot girls in bikinis). Loved seeing the girls slap each others' asses.

I'm sure someone mentioned this already here as well, but just incase nobody did.

Make sure to watch the beginning of episode 1 again, after finishing this one. You won't regret it, I promise! :D

Man, this is was everything a sports anime needed to be. Impressed from start to finish. Atmosphere was especially on point and fanservice was defo a bonus lol. Another gem to add to the completed list.

Beautiful and chilling piano song was played in the background. People who love balls literally need to watch this. Sadly this anime is too unpopular and don’t think it will get season 2
