The competition should have been two episodes instead of one; it definitely felt rushed.

That being said, 7/10. I'm a rock climber myself, and I miss rock climbing (my gym's been closed since Covid started)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

And that's it, the story from a Gamer Master becoming a Sport Climbing Master
Yes... All the practice, all the hard work they didn't betrayed you Konomi...

Seeing the other girls development are great as well Jun and Nono...

She successfully beat Annoying Kurusu at Lead Climbing....(still hate her personality but I'm impressed by her speed)
Even though Kurusu won the Individual Category but Hanamiya win as a Team....

Never have i though to be interested and also entertained to Sports Climbing before...

Well the competition should be 2 episodes, so it doesn't feel so rush...

Overall Decent 6/10 Just a fun series to watch weekly...

I heard the manga just begin the sequel, hopefully we it got Adaptation too someday....

COOL KURUSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
she (and Uchimura) was fun to watch, wtf is everyone complaining about? :D


anyway, it was a fun anime, i know it was rushed and felt kinda "bullshit" with how the girls actually won in the end (i mean, even Jun was 6 months away, while the caster was like "she probably was tryharding all day" lol) but i liked how they practiced, did their challenges and met new people

guess it won't have a 2nd season, since the manga is rather short, but i wouldn't mind watching some more stuff
7/10


edit: i like how everyone keeps complaining about the animation, you know everything is going kinda slow this year because of the virus, i'm surprised there weren't many other anime getting canceled/delayed ...
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

I don't like sport animes that much, but this is pretty enjoyable, I liked the development of Jun Uehara and this final tournament was very entertaining.

Last episode definitely felt rushed but overall I enjoyed this Anime a lot. More than I thought I would. :)

I wish it had Ecchi, but the characters made up for it. Konomi & Nono were great ^_^

Well, just like Taisou Zamurai, this one was another unusual sports anime, not about gymnastics like the one i mentioned, but about climbing. To put it simply, it's just so average... Main characters are fine, but several of the side characters are really annoying, that was a huge turn off for me. Another thing that bothered me was the animation. In sports anime you like to see fluid movements and sakuga, this has none of that, and is utterly underwhelming. I mean, i've seen worse animation don't get me wrong, but was just really off putting imo.

Not gonna lie i enjoyed this anime i mainly watched it because theres some very thicc girls but suddenly stayed for story and characters lol

I like it that this show didnt focus to ecchi and not oversexualizing the characters on this so kudos to them.

The story was fine nothing special about but it could executed better at least they win as a team in the end

Then Konomi the MC of this show i think was a good MC shes talented but she had limitations and she struggle a lot to overcome conflicts.

Also a lot of likeable characters that had great personalities my favorites are Nono, Uehara and Konomi.

Overall a decent show it had flaws but its watchable,enjoyable and i really recommend tyring this anime if you dont over analyze everything.

Decent end, had better animation than earlier episodes.
Started as on the fence. Liked the mid level Konomi as mc. Surprise points were the quirky comedy, and real development on each Hanamiya member along with Ooba & catpun.
Some annoying sports trope 'villains' and too many side characters that served little, but overall ok.

Way better than other hyped shows that end up as seasonal trash.

Only complaints are the lack of animation is most events and the rushed ending. They could have cut the ED(OP in this) and use scenes for celebrations or something.

And honestly not sure if I should be disappointed in the lack of ecchi or not. On one hand, I could take it more seriously. On the other some female muscle ecchi wouldnt be bad. I think Jun and Maruno were the only ones that had some?

I really wish this series was longer. Felt like they had to cram and cut a lot of things out if the show to get it to fit into 12 episodes. The team did well for what they could fit though. I've never had my heart beat as much as it did while watching an anime as when Konomi reached just before the final hold. I wish there was a more concluding ending though. They just raise your heart rate and started playing the opening. I hoped they would put some after ending scenes over the opening but they just played the normal opening.
I liked how in the end Anne was still the number one competitor, but the girls team effort took them to first. Konomi being the best would have been a bit too cliche for me.

Hanamiya only won because of the change of the rulings on the overall scores...nevertheless Konomi was the only one who completed that extreme difficulty coarse! that was a great feat!
5/5.
7/10.

Kurusu was so damn annoying. I'm glad Konomi kicked her ass.

Overall, this was pretty mediocre, and the last couple of episodes were clearly rushed, but thanks for the abs and toned arms!

Decent show but Konomi's growth was so fast, it undermined the specificity of the sport. Would have liked to see another season but with such a perfected ending I doubt it'll ever happen.

Enjoyable series, interesting to see the puzzle aspect and also the newcomer prodigy Konomi and others who are more experienced like Jun face their struggles to improve themself and reach the top!... uhm I mean the most interesting thing are the fanservice shots.

I like the characters and seiyuus. That wasn't bad at all.
Just kinda monotonous and predictable and worst of all - that was rushed. I wish they showed main characters and their rivals outside of the competitions and practices. We never saw who is Iwamine in real life, why she is so weird or how Konomi spend her free time.
Final competition was too rushed too, i wanted to see more emotions and maybe some little character arcs.
I wish this show was 26 episodes or more, but alas!

P.S. And did they just give up at the last minute? What with two lost lines when Anne's and Konomi's lips clearly moved, but there was no sound? Did Sumire lost her voice after 10 seconds of sexy heavy breathing?

Kinda predictable ending, but still enjoyable.

Overall, a decent show. Not really one of my favorite all-female sports.

The pace of this anime high school Competition is incredible, we got like 3 or 4 sports events In the span of 12 episodes, but I didn't mind.
my only complaint is that

I'm surprised I lasted this long with a girl sports anime I usually drop them by the second episode but this one was fun.

That was fun to watch. I wouldn't label this as a comedy tag, but to be fair, the last episode was somewhat humourous:).

Really surprised at how much I liked this anime
I was worried about the sport genre being the usual boring-dragged-out bs but it was very concise and the somewhat cute, slice of life made it a more enjoyable watch

It doesn't really deserve the low score

Sure it's not the best anime out there, I agree a bit rushed and characters weren't fleshed out it was all basically we are competing and want to win at any cost in their own way.
But it was at least something unique. I quite enjoyed watching it, especially since I enjoy bouldering myself from time to time (can relate to nono, it's not easy when short)
I liked the puzzle game references and that they all tried so hard. Ofc konomi is like every sport anime MC a wonder kid lol and it also is clearly skipping months.. But overall it was fun seeing them try hard and solve courses.

Is the anime covering the entire manga?
"For what purpose is man born into this world. What purpose in life should he strive for. Is it chance that he meet those that become dear to him? what is the furture of mankind? All answers flow in the river of destiny... The promised time has come"

jesus chirst is anne like 6 years old? im regretting not dropping this on ep 6 when i first wanted to.
the characters ruined this show. it wasnt anything spectacular, i fact is was bland but it was enticing enough to continue watching. sadly it was kinda rushed towards the end.

the way the 3 dames or whatever were introduced, youd think theyd play a bigger role but in the end they didnt matter at all. even the spider woman was made out to be like the big bad, the opponent to beat but she kinda faded to the side.

without the worst characters this show would have gotten a 6 but im dropping it to 5 for having no important character be a nice human being, they are all out to ruin the other competitors by bullying them. only thing this show got going for it was the art and the ost.
