I remember watching this as soon as the episode came out, and I was thinking, "Hey, it's a MAPPA work, it'll probably get some attention."

But... Currently, the amount of people who have either watched this, dropped it, etc, is less than the amount of people just waiting for some shows that MAPPA is making...

One idea I had is because there's not a huge manga base that are like, "Hey, this is incredible", but I found that a bit strange to think about, since even some manga that have no popularity, or light novels, have made into legendary adaptations that people enjoyed, and consumed.

Character designs could be one reason, because they're very much on the manga. But, maybe this was a me thing, I stopped really caring about it thanks to the incredible quality that Munehisa Sakai and the guys he had on this show were making.

Anyways, what's your guy's reasoning?

I've been keeping tabs on this anime every week and let's just say i somewhat enjoyed the show, definitely not the best this season but a fun one, ok anyway I'm out of track.

anyways, i asked two of my friends why they haven't watched this show even tho i kept gushing how this is a decent show. but their response is always "ugh i don't like the art" or "I don't like the character designs"

fair


this is the clannad scenario all over again, where people's reason for not watching clannad is because of the character design.

In my opinion it's the best show of this season but a can completely understand why people don't really enjoy it. First of all it's a danse show, like ballroom e youkoso, it's not really appealing. And for me the second reason is the character, I can totally understand why people don't like these characters, they are really human so sometime also really detestable. For me it's a good point but I understand this point of view

i don't think it's underrated, it has a good score overall.
basically it's a niche anime with a slice of life/school growth direction that's not something that will get the shounen/Shoujo masses drawn immediately.
plus... it's also a season with a couple more dark horses, one of which came out too strong: Kongming, that's also drawing attention/time away from people who can only watch so much anime at a time.

Idk I'm really enjoying the show so far. Would like it to have more attention but I think it's not unpopular either. It has a good score too. I think a lot of people pass on it cause its ballet. Also because there's a lot of other really good shows this season.

I think it's because this season has MANY good series (kaguya-sama, Spy x family, etc) and the series is about ballet.

But I Understand you. I wish it was more popular, but at least it's not like it has no fans :)

Personally, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIES! The animations,
plot, osts, the characters and their designs and development. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a season 2!

It’s pretty easy to know why this show is underrate. It’s a sports anime very few people actually even watch sport animes other than yuri in ice or haikyuu so it’s a given

Probably the art style of the characters.

I think cause it is about ballet - not too interesting for many people. Since it is Seinen I like it a lot more than Ballroom. (Though ballet seems more boring actually.) It has a lot better writing and more interesting characters.

MAPPA ist doing a great job though. Ending and opening are perfect. Everything else also - best studio for such an anime. And such anime are best suited for MAPPA. They should focus on modern-setting stuff with focus on characters.

I can see this being a bit of a second Ping Pong for me - not that great. Still 9-ish after the recent episode. (And I am already rare with the 9s ... and 10s I barely give anymore. Gave Ping Pong a 10 and put it in my favorites.)

Anime where I completely thought "wow this sports is kinda boring" ... and than completely got surprised by the chars and how the story was told. (+ with Ping Pong the unique art style and atmosphere)
