Why is this so highly rated?

I mean, it wasn't horrible, but not even close to deserving all the praise it's getting. Setting, story, characters and animation, everything was just so generic (and that horrible CGI use at times *cringe*)

It's so hard to understand which shows that are gonna be popular and why.

It was okay, although I'm not a fan of the overly ditzy and stupid character trope. Felt like the MC was deliberately going out of her way to act as dumb as possible.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Interesting, I was getting into it with a though of dropping it momentary thinking it will be the usual Harem LN story but this anime is really good at pretending that it is not. That is achieved by the fact that MC is actually the girl and there was not a single clear echii scene.

Still, will this anime be only about MC getting better and better at that weird sport rather than having any story? I like sport animes very much but this didn't felt like this at all.

In any case, anime is worth giving a look at the next episode... I am not too excited about it though.

The one thing that is however really good though is the 'dream' that this anime shows. Who wouldn't want to have those shoes and be able to freely fly through the skies!

Pink haired girl is such a horrible character. Too loud, too squeaky, too stupid. If it wasn't for her, maybe this show would pass as mediocre but watchable.

Relaxing anime with sports element, I like it. Probably would be one of mt favorite anime this season.

Kurashina really reminds me of Kobato from anime Kobato, they're pretty similar personality-wise, the way they talk are pretty much identical

Wow this definitely exceed my expectations, visuals are what to be expected by Gonzo but love the character designs, love the music and the whole Flying Circus and Grav Shoes concept, nice setting which makes the show refreshing, kinda like Misaki and her split personality. Because of that,I really do hope that Gonzo doesn't betray my expectations on this one.

Tho the visuals are kind of crappy tho, Gonzo need to up their game for coming eps.

What? o.O If this visuals was bad for you, then I wonder which visuals from this seasons are good for you (except Dagashi Kasha and Musaigen no Phantom World which are looking obviously the best).


I kinda liked the Hai to gensou no grimgar artwork...

On a more Ao no Kanata no four rhythm note, this episode was amazing! definitely one of my favorites for the season (So far).

I love the atmosphere, artstyle and character designs (remind me of Koi to Senkyo, I take both of these VN are by the same company?). Asuka reminds me of Misuzu from Air, she's cute. Loved how she scored the point with her child self singing the background song.

This is solid, hope it keeps up this pace. Nice future OP, too. 7.5/10

That was amazing. This seems to not be your everyday Visual Novel adaptation (as far as things look like now).

Asuka is nice, she is cute and has a personality to match. The other characters while so far not as developed, complement each other well.

This is gonna entertain me.

Pretty cool for a first episode,i wasn't really hyped for this anime to be honest but i think i can dig this.

The main character is cute,energetic,that's what i call a good waifu.

The chara design is good,the animation is pretty good,,the humor is good and funny and i pretty like all the character we saw so far

For the other part of the anime,i can't lie and say its pretty original,this "sport" looks awesome and i can't wait to see real battle with a op main character.

7.5/10 atm,this anime hype this bad season a bit....

If the viewpoint has been switched to one of the girls, then the MC will be even more flat and generic than he was originally. Bad move there.

Asuka is so cute. I want to teach her how to fly.

Great first episode. i like it. it was relaxing, funny and enjoyable show. it even has an interesting sport. the cast, i like it too, especially the MC girl. she is funny :D. the character desgin was good, and on top of that the theme song. Kawada Mami!!!. i miss her song.....i'm glad i can hear her song again :)
And this!
before i watch Ao no kanata, i watched Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut, and the cliche.....
so THIS!

This is the kind of pattern that i want to see!!! unpredictable and funny XD
i completely didn't see that coming.
obviously i will keep watching this. this is the thrid anime that i most look foward to, in this season.

sorry for bad english

Pretty good first episode for a por- I mean, visual novel. /cough.

More surprised at the fact the show seems to be revolving around the girl rather than the boy, as in her point of view. Though maybe it was just that episode.

The finale was a bit cheesy though.

Forgetting to lock the door....MAYBE I can get....but not closing the curtains.... for crying out loud, that unnamed girl must be retarded.
Asuka-chan could give her a lesson in "common sense" lol.

Coming from the VN, the character designs were a little underwhelming, especially for Misaki who does not appear as curvy. I mean, the artwork still looks great, but I feel like I was spoiled a little too much. I hope the BDs look good.

Looking forward to continuing.

Art style is a bit different, they did a good job of keeping the shape though. VN's will have much finer, sharper, and more detailed art.

Anime are typically penned on computers as pixel art after done with pencil, and it's done at resolution, so 1080p. Then to make the lines not be jagged, they filter it to make it smooth. The animation process is about efficiency and malleability. It's gotta be able to move without loads of extra work. You're never gonna see anime character art as good as in VN's, because they're drawn still at the quality of the background.

I do not know why people expecting much of this anime, it equals Walkure Romanze, Asuka is a copy of Mio without breasts, same hair color and personality, the plot is basically the same only changes the sport.


How the heck is this equal to Walkure Romanze? did you see any stupidly ecchi situation on purpose? granted there was the usual cloth changing scene but you can't compare that with the obscene amount of accidental ecchi situation and gratuitous fanservice that plagued Walkure almost from the very first minute.

Plus Flying Circus seems A LOT more interesting compared to jousting.

MOE + Flying + Harem, quite unique combination despite of being generic, it was fun and quite good with decent music and art ... I hope it will excel on its creative sports theme
