Visual and plot do seem to be decent hopefully the studio does justice.

The PV really wanted to emphasize the work that the staff put to the animation & impressed the viewers, but there's nothing impressive with any of the animation. Sure the camera work on one scene was dynamic, but it's not that good. And wow, the score that accompanied this PV sounded so messy. It's like jazzy but not good. And I am not really sure about the director/screenwriter too, because Noein is not good.

Overall, disappointing announcement.

Wow, Hanebado became even more unlike the manga. And if without jokes, the idea of ​​the original sports anime sounds interesting enough.

I would joke about yuri, if it was an all-female show, but in this case I see no reason for that.

Oh no you di'int.

Overall this thing does interest me because I like the art and music and setting and strange camera work. But the cliche of middle school tennis/sports club could sink this while thing.

Yes, I did.

Strange camera work? Could you elaborate?

Do not compare this one to Hanebado's. It's not fair. This one is obviously inferior.

Care to explain why the music sounded messy?

Also, music can't be good or bad.

I am not a music fan, so I cannot explain it in great detail, but when the piano plays, it does not sound harmonic with the guitar. They do not mix in this case.

Of course it can. I mean, if it cannot, then everybody will love every song/score that ever exists. Just like anime, there are good anime, there are bad anime.

Studio aside (because most people will pay attention at the studio alone) the staff is... not that great to be fairly honest. The idea sounds nice on paper but the people behind this production is kind of... underwhelming. Particularly the director which is also the series composition and the script writer.

Maybe the reason why I'm saying this is because I've only been exposed to so little with the guy... and Code Geass: Akito the Exiled wasn't that bad until the last 2 movies.

Also I wouldn't exactly blame anyone for the Battery vibes... It kinda screamed Battery vibes which I dislike Battery.

The boys are cute and I find that animation level in PV breathtaking. I'm so in.

Why do I feel this nostalgic feeling when I watched the PV? I feel like I wanna cry. Ehhh, it's just that sort of emotional surge I feel...

Original anime with a tennis theme. Interesting. I'm not impressed by the staff listed so far but the premise has my attention.
