| Is it because ice hockey isn't that popular? Is it because it's CGDCT? Not enough people watching it? When it comes to cute girls sports shows, I believe in my humble opinion that its a pretty solid and entertaining show, especially coming from the disposition that I know nothing about ice hockey. While the idol aspect does feel pretty tacked on for obvious sales reasons, the core of the actual ice hockey and group camaraderie does seem emphasized. Surprisingly the ice hockey sequences are pretty well animated and isnt so reliant on CG. Idk its one of the few shows Im actually enjoying this season and it stings seeing it rated so low. |

Especially for ppl who know about ice hockey a lot this was kinda underwhelming. But yeah the animation is honestly not bad at all. But I wouldn’t hold your breath on it getting a higher rating |

| The show has been very slow to start. Just feel like we haven’t gotten to many games yet and there hasn’t been much of the Idol stuff yet either. So the two major focuses of the show haven’t been a large part of it. I don’t see the score going up even if they finish the show strong. At least hockey will get more exposure. |
| It doesn't matter if there are idols or not because all-female cast sports anime are pretty much always rated more or less poorly. - Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls (6.47) - Kandagawa Jet Girls (5.68) - Long Riders! (6.67) - Harukana Receive (6.68) - Circlet Princess (5.98) - Keijo!!!!!!!! (6.96) - Sayonara Watashi no Cramer (6.10) - Tamayomi (5.74) - Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine (5.61) - Minami Kamakura Koukou Joshi Jitenshabu (6.29) etc. |

I was always viewing it under the lens of a CGDCT show and comparing it to shows like Houkago Teibo Nisshi and Yuru Camp, though I guess it was a faulty approach on my end. All-female cast sports shows is already a niche genre, falling into the subsection of CGDCT, I see that only a handful of shows actual broke the 7.0 threshold and got decent ratings, like Dumbell nan Kilo Moteru and UmaMusume (if you even count that as a sports anime) Thank you all for your input, gave me a new perspective on the current landscape of cute anime girls haha |

| Tbh I kind of on hold this series because the pacing was quite slow but makes sense that these girls were just getting started with playing hockey and hasn't take it to the competitive routes. Would be a lot more interesting if they were to pace this anime a lot more quicker and just straightly let the girls prepare for more challenging competition instead of adding a slice of life arc that's quite getting rid of the main subject of the anime which is hockey and I get that these girls have a lot of passion and talent in other fields but they could've been more decisive if they were to take hockey competitively or no because following your friends doesn't mean that you'll get interested.. Also I'd be interesting and more entertaining if the matches were taken competitively instead of more and more lesson by the teacher but tbf hockey has limited places for practicing so donno how this anime will turn out, it would make or break my experience but at least any real competition would be great if it were to exist, also haven't watch the entire anime so my observation is a bit inaccurate I bet. |
| It's bland as fuck but I'm surprised Japanese aren't eating up this shit, like they do with many gacha with cute girls. Not even Bang dream original character designer can help. |
 |
| It is just not good. I just watched one episode and the next week I just forgot who is who and what the hell is going on. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| I struggle with the hardly memorable cast. Watching it for the coach tbh, she's gureto. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's a Simple answer, the anime is bad and there is nothing interesting to see, even when they try to catching idols fans, and sport fans |
| Maybe not enough idol concerts? |

lilzika said: i want like a hard core seinen ice hockey anime that would be sick This is twice as funny, because "seinen" publishers more often than not release CGDCT shows like these. Seinen is such an outdated and dumb label that encases a vast amount of tones and themes, contrary to the misleading image of some fans that it should have mature or edgy themes only. |
HD90 said: because many elite members don't like it and take it too seriously, even though this is a relaxing slice of life anime lol, I myself enjoyed this event and got to know a little hockey just look at the negative comments of the elite in the review What do you mean by "elite members" in this context? |

| Honestly, I'm a proud Canadian and I've been waiting for an ice hockey anime, so I don't think I would've been disappointed with it no matter how it turned out. That being said, I thought the character relationships and interactions were very charming throughout the entire series. And the hockey itself was more impressive than I thought it'd be Sure, the idol stuff felt unnecessary but to me that's just another part of the charm I guess. Not that I care for idol stuff, I just enjoy weird stuff lol |
| Hockey fans aside, there is not much mystery to the reasons... I believe that it´s because it´s overall boring and cliche. And not much of the sport (hockey in this case) is actually presented (just a few training sessions and a few matches). There are Cute Girls animes out there which are exciting and the sport featured gets way more screen time instead of the "doing nothing" moments (which were 'meh' in the case of PuraOre!). There is nothing appealing nor something to catch attention. |

| It takes a lot for me to drop a show on episode 1, but Japanese hockey idols who some how beat the Canadian girls team did it. |
 |
| Characters are nothing really special. Good thing: they are not overpowered like the usual sports anime main characters. I think hockey part was actually ok. Can't say that was unrealistic or ridiculously dramatized. They are just cute girls play hockey - nothing unusual here. Why this is not popular?.. First of all it's kinda boring, nothing really interesting happening. Second, hockey is definitely not cute activity. They are wearing helmets and heavy armor. Nothing cute about it. Sometimes you don't see their hair and you can't even tell them apart because, you know, anime faces. And of course this idiotic idol part. Do i really need to say something about it? It's stupid even by anime standarts. Plus they ruined Canadians' feelings in the first episode. |
