I've watched a fair amount of sports anime, and I watched this one based off my friend's strong recommendation. I'm very disappointed.
The animation is fine, but the characters and tropes are tired and overused. In crucial moments, where it'd last a second maybe in the real world, it's drawn out. Every character needs to get a line in in the time it takes for the ball to be passed. Characters are always going above and beyond because they 'found it within themselves' because they've now tasted failure or been near defeat. And Ego? So annoying. He's there to be an antagonist for antagonist's sake.
