Is the original manga that good, or is it just Cygames still actively promoting their brands?

Was expecting a bit more.. but it feels like its lacking.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

This is an ecchi sport all-female title. Even if it doesn't have any real subtext, it will still be pretty homoerotic.

If you are counting on this to be lesbian romance, then this is not the show.

Pretty exciting for there finally to be a climbing anime, even if it's an ecchi thing. Hopefully my attention to the gear and such won't ruin it for me lol

Well, 6 seconds into the PV you can tell that the animators didn't really research how carabiners actually look like. Also they've shown the girls wearing socks with their climbing shoes which is not typical of high level climbers.

Wow nice spot, that's true! I hope this series can promote safe climbing practices like always performing a partner check, or climbing on a rope and not some flat cord as clearly shown at 28s.

I'm looking forward to a full episode devoted to the girls discussing which shoes they prefer. I'm also imagining them representing Japan in an international youth competition and developing a fierce rivalry with the equally talented and beautiful Slovenian team.

I'm hoping for an Adam Ondra or Alex Handhold cameo like Arnold in dumbbell. They could really go all out on Adam's neck in glorious over the top anime style
