THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well the art was pretty bad switching between them, but the character designs are so cute. I wish they'd show us the more technical side of surfing, but that would need better art. I still think I'm going to like this story.
Also the BL vibes were a lot lol. Yet another queer-baiting sports anime lol

Mod Edit: Modified title to match the Anime Title.

Honestly wasn't a bad first episode, the switching from 2d to 3d with the surfing looked a bit odd to me though. So far so good, though, totally going to keep watching it-- and I'm excited for the next episode, plus I want to meet the other characters.

This was okay thou I liked it. MC got interested in surfing after watching Sho surf and he gave it a try and managed to stand right away, he has talent. For now that was basically it, maybe episode 2 and 3 will be better or atleast I hope they will.

Visuals and the girls were both really beautiful.

Why does it say this is a 3ps / movie that finished airing in 2020?!
It just started in Winter 2021 and it's a series

This episode was below average, I'm kinda disappointed. I didn't expect this show to be a masterpiece, but from the pv I tought it looked pretty good. I'll still watch it since it's only 3 episodes but the 3d animation when they surf looks terrible and the characters don't seem to be that interesting so far.

I wanted to let you know that MAL has made some changes to the movie page including giving it a 12 episode count and you can finally add it to your list. So going forward any discussion threads regarding the TV series will take place on the movie page because the other one is gone.

Spread the word.

Finally, the TV series got approved.

Well, this is better than watching the 3-part film anyways (it's the same thing).

The CGI lools terrible!! How awful! x_x It would be better to stick with 2D than letting someone who's unexperienced at using the 3D animation. Using a bad animation just ruins the show itself, specially the audience's experience. The story doesn't look that bad, but... you know :( I'm feeling quite disappointed, cuz the surfing performance could have been better animated if not using the 3D part.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to learn to swim first to do anything else extreme in the ocean (that’s how u drown dudes) . The Main dude is crushing hard on the blonde dude , right? .
Too bad the anime industry is relying sooo much on that crappy cgi ( I get it , it’s less expensive and less time consuming but come on).

Well, never expect this one has a movie before. Almost have a mistake visit before reaching this one. Lol.

Anyway, this is my first entry related to the surfing. So, its may become my motivation to watch this. Unfortunately, the art was not so good. The animation either, during the surf kinda dissapointed with that transitional. The first part at the competition one look better. So, maybe they took more effort into that one, idk. Overall, with the way of them narrated the story, and directed the moment were pretty much engaging. So its just an understandably first episode, and really looking forward to see the next without much complain. Thats it for now.

I really, R E A L L Y want to like it, but the switching between 2d and 3d is not my thing at all, besides, HE. DOESNT. KNOW. HOW. TO. SWIM. in the first place so why would they let him go so deep into the ocean when they knew so much can happen to a newbie?? And second of all who the hell gets the balance so easily on their first try, i mean I tried surfing and i could barely stand a second if anything on the board before falling down and so did the others who were taking the lessons with me so it's really unrealistic and just ugh annoying, i Hope it gets better next episode

The animation and visuals of the waves are amazing!

When Masaki stood up for the first time and rode that wave, I got goosebumps!
Definitely staying to watch this one!
I want to sleep...

Got the feeling Corgi here is crushing more on the new guy Sho rather than surfing spot, feeling bad for Nalu who invited him many times before to surf. Pretty unorthodox way of learning to surf without being able to swim but I guess anything goes in anime.

Mixed media huh. Not too much of a fan, really takes me out of the immersion when the surfing sequences start. The anatomy is so choppy looking and stiff. Good Summer vibes though and relaxing. Characters seem likeable enough. Guess I'll give it a chance.
