Story 9/10
The PLOT was excellent. I had no idea what volleyball games were, but I ended up watching actual matches... The anime is so well-crafted in every detail that it is simple to understand the rules and positions of each player on the court. Though it was a little monotonous because the only thing we watched for 25 episodes has been volleyball matches. Okay, well that's the anime's topic, but I believe there must have been some episodes focussed on the characters' private lives so that we could get to know them all, not just the main ones. The plot is unquestionably a 9/10.
There weren't ... many flashbacks to be found. In fact, they were exactly what the viewers sought to remember some important scenes and also something additional to feel some of the characters' thrill moments inside their heads. So the THROWBACKS are a 10/10.

Art 8/10
It was a well-developed anime, but it wasn't flawless. It lacked some characteristics that would have made the series' animation more lively. Many expressions, for example, were poor... They didn't get much attention. As an outcome, the ANIMATION receives a 7/10.
With the story, the setup had been fairly accurate. Well, there wasn't much to show. Because the anime is themed around a gym court in the background. So school halls, a gym court, study desks, and ball playing fields are all that is required. However, instead of picturing the same areas over and over, there could be more. As an outcome, the SETTING is a 9/10.

Sound 8/10
The VOICES matched each character, and even without seeing them, you could tell who was talking and separate them. I'm not sure if there was anything wrong at any point, so I'd give it a 9/10.
The score was adequate. The beginning and ending have both been nice, with their own flow, but I couldn't say that they stuck out in my mind. I'm not even sure if I'd recognize them if I heard them separately from the anime. Overall, the audio in the anime was quite clear. You could hear and perhaps even simply repeat each phrase where each personality said. As an outcome, the SOUNDTRACK receives a 7/10.

Character 8/10
The CHARACTERIZATION was lacking because the characters were not fully developed. We got to know the main characters, but we don't know much about the supporting characters, and we don't know anything else about their lives besides volleyball. As a result, I believe that further effort was actually needed through the characterization. That is a 7/10.
On the other hand, the CHARACTER DESIGN was excellent. Every single detail was noticed in each and every character, whether main or supporting. That's some effort put in, and it's really nice to be able to see attractive characters because you're waiting for their scene to begin, which is a thrill. Given my preferences, I didn't care for the overabundance of blonde characters... I was surprised because the overwhelming majority of men in Japan seem to have dark hair. As an outcome, the character design receives a 9/10.

Enjoyment 8/10
This anime was very enjoyable for me. I felt like I was watching a football match, because of all the excitement & agony within you while waiting for the final match point with astonishment as well as a gaping mouth. Some may say they got goosebumps in situations like this. But there were some scenes that bored me. Sometimes it was due to chitchat, and others due to the monotony of the games, which lasted for about 3 episodes or so. As a result, the ENJOYMENT category would receive an 8/10.
The ENDING was somewhat unexpected. At first, I was disappointed, but after a second thought, I realized the real lesson, and I believe it is well known that even if things don't go as planned, we shouldn't focus solely on the outcome. Instead, we should take advantage of every lesson provided throughout the process so that we can continue as better individuals the next time. Nothing is thrown away. We either learn or gain more as a result of it. The ending is also rated 8/10.

1. Animation:
It is a visually good developed anime. It would have been better tho if the chracter's facial details were more attended.

2. Plot:
In terms of plot I gave it a 10/10 because it doesn't leave any details behind. It also made me realize some things I wasn't sure about life. After this anime, I was able to see life and the world we live in from multiple perspectives and I'm really glad for that. I won't get into further details here so I don't spoil. But the plot is really good and I strongly reccomend anyone who might got doubts about it to just go ... and see the anime.

3. Chatacterization:
Most of the characters are fully developed. We get to know their backgrounds and how they evolve.

4. Chatacter Design:
The character design is really nice. Except from some chatacteristics I mentioned above but that has to do mostly about the animation in the characters. So not gonna count this one. Overall the chatacter design good along with the needed details of each chatacter.

5. Voices:
The voices do match the chatacters. I didn't notice any problem with that so everything's alright.

6. Setting:
The places are most likely all of them that I've seen so far in this anime accurate with the story plot. Nothing to complain about. In fact, they were really really beautiful!

7. Soundtrack:
The opening was good but I think it was a bit sad. Also it didn't contain the kana lyrics and that's kind of a minus. It was good tho. I liked more the ending song. Both opening and ending songs were made pretty well and the videos were really nice. The audio of this anime was good. I didn't notice any problems.

8. TB:
As I can remember it didn't contain a lot of throwbakcs.. Maybe one episode or so. But even if it did it was kinda essential so that we can understand someone's background or a scene afterwards.

9. Enjoyment:
I really really liked this anime. As I said above it made me realize some things about life and the world we live in. I'm glad I got to watch a good developed anime like that and I hope other anime series or movies or whatever will start airing like this one. I recommend it!

10. Ending:
Depending on my opinion the ending was kind of cliche but based on the whole story its flow was really nice and smooth. So the ending was good. I won't go into details cause I don't wanna spoil. But I liked it a lot!

Animation:
Visually, it is a fair developed anime. It should have been better.

Plot:
The plot was mostly about revenge.. So it was kind of monotonous but nevertheless I enjoyed it.

Characterization:
The characters are not fully developed but that's minor if we think of how many characters there were except of the main one. So not gonna complain about this one.

Character Design:
... The design is actutally good. There are a lot of details depicted especially in the appiarence of the Samurai and at the characteristics of every person in the anime. If you take a closer look at the facial expressions then you'll see the good work.

Voices:
The voices do match the characters so no further explanation needed on this one.

Setting:
The places are mostly accurate with the story plot but they lack of some details.

Soundtrack:
I loved the soundtrack, epspecially the opening/ending and all the rap scenes.. It's rap but it's a good quality one. So +1 for that!

TB:
It doesn't contains a lot of throwbacks.. I don't even remember seeing one lol.. So yeah no comments neither on this one.

Enjoyment:
I liked it. But I still think that it should have been a better quality one. The story was really nice and it's not sth that we see a lot. So overall I think an 8 (very good) would be essential.

Ending:
Depending on my opinion the end was... well I won't spoil you'll see the actutal end in season 2.

The story and the characters are fair because of comparing them to the other chapters (Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden) I would expect something more great. As for the style of the story, there are not a lot of changes made so I will not get into spoilers. I believe it is a nice anime but I'd prefer it in another level like it was with the other chapters. It still needs some work to catch up the 10/10 of the Shippuuden style but there are still episodes to be aired out so we will see its worthiness later on. I would prefer some explanation in the ... start about what is happening and how it is related in the previous chapters but I neither like nor dislike it as an anime. For now on it keeps its uniqueness.
