I first wrote this off as a generic sports type show but soon came to regret it much later as I enjoyed watching it a lot more than most anime this season.
The main appeal is the way the characters have to push through so many hardships to reach their near impossible goal of creating an all male cheer leading team. This creates an emotional story of overcoming embarrassment, fear, trust and physical boundary's which may prevent them from fulfilling their goal.
It's the only anime I've seen to make me cry, laugh and simultaneously want to do a handstand in the same episode proving
...
just how brilliant it is: normally it's impossible to motivate me to do exercise. The show's
comedy is excellent and hits every time when it wants too. On top of this the character interactions are funny and sincere with great performances all round.
Whats also interesting is that their cheer leading team - the breakers - is based off of a real life male cheer leading team, adding to the interest of the show as its cool to think that some of these events may have actually happened in real life (though I'm sure a lot of them are made up).
Even though this anime doesn't have a brilliant sound track or a memorable cast of characters theirs enough going on to make it enjoyable and heartwarming enough to work well. It can almost be inspiring if you like the characters enough.
I would consider this a must watch for fans of the sports genre and a refreshing show for anyone who is just bored and needs a good time filler.
