First impression of this series is
• Fan service is good
• This works make us enjoy summer vacation without going there
• Relaxed atmosphere all around

This reminds me of figure skating which consists of just a few sets of simple movements. In addition to players movements, their body's flexing , relaxing and bouncing moments calmly but passionately attract us. This animation reproduces the same things.

Story is quite awesome. The awesomeness is not included in the first impression, but when you re-watch this series, you must notice it.
Two examples are here.
First one is Kanata's receive. Was she able to receive because Haruka believes in Kanata? It ... seemed so. But the thing is bit more deep. In her memory, Kanata herself ignored the ball and Narumi received. Now Kanata is positioned to receive the ignored ball by her partner.
For the second, Ai-Mai pair from the fourth story. That was Haru-Kana pair's first winning. The Ai-Mai pair is introduced just for the opponents? No. At the time the two pairs first met, Ai, the taller girl, stared at both Haruka and Kanata. That scene implied Ai thought Haru-Kana has same problem as Ai's. So, the scenario which two sets of tall-short pairs were featured implies that Haru-Kana pair is not special at all.

In this series, character development is not achieved by new special techniques,ie. Hissatu, or buffing status. Instead, MCs say gooby to the older herself and change their play style when it is required. The awesomeness is here.
