Both based around the sport tennis, although Stars Align revolves around soft tennis. The similarities are undeniable, although Stars Align is a much 'darker' show, providing a striking, but satisfying contrast between it and Baby Steps. No matter the order you watch these two shows in, you will find points of comparison within these two anime, centering around the sport of tennis. Stars Align has more depth to it and less focus on the sport itself. Although Baby Steps does have some Slice of Life elements, particularly in the last few episodes, it is still far below Stars Align in that aspect. The area which these two shows share the most is teamwork, and the idea of working together to achieve something incredible. In Baby Steps, even though they are playing singles, the idea of wanting others to succeed is extremely apparent and prevalent in the story. With every game comes the cheers and hopes of the MCs club members. Stars Align focuses of doubles games so evidently the 'team spirit' of the story is used throughout. However, both shows portray, emotively, a story of teamwork and its strength. First and foremost both these shows are sports anime. however the subtle focuses on slice of life elements, and the fact that they share a common sport has lead to this recommendation.
