I think this anime is indeed a very good original anime. It has a lot of potential to be better or to be great. It just needs more warmth for the main character to attack the viewers' hearts and be more relatable. This is an anime that you need to give patience and a chance.
So far, for each episode, I gave the ratings below.
EP. 1 - 7
EP. 2 - 8
EP. 3 - 8
EP. 4 - 9
EP. 5 - 8
EP. 6 - 8

> STORY: 8
As I have said, Taiso has a great potential. It needs more boost or build up on the story as the anime is about competition and sports. Taiso is also like a slice-of-life kind of anime which relates the reality between a daughter-father-sport situation that must deal between the family or the sport. The reality of life starts to creep in on the, as of ep. 6, that makes the story more realistic.
> ART: 9
I love the art. It's simple and has unique style that adds good quality to the anime.
> SOUND: 7
Some background music could be improved especially in the training/competition or climax scenes.
I love the OPENING and ENDING THEMES. The music and animation, for those themes, is 9/10. I really love the opening theme. So much fun!!! I think it's a unique one too.
> CHARACTER: 8
I feel like the main character is not self-aware and so clueless for most of the time. Did the creator made him like that? Was it intentional? Yeah, but he is a father and a single-parent. I think for that situation, a father must step up and be more responsible and aggressive in taking care of the family, especially his only daughter Rachel.
LEO is the only one that gives light on every episode. Actually, I think, he took over Episode 4. He is really charming and quite weird at the same time but his 'fun', 'quirky' attitude and 'yo' accent definitely gives a sunshine and adds entertainment. So far, I think everyone would like LEO. But let's see how his character develops.
> ENJOYMENT: 8
Episode 1 is just fine for me but as I watched the next episodes, there are developments that increased the enjoyment value. That's why I said you need patience to make it through every episode.
Comic relief or comedy parts came from a try-hard (🙄) to okay (🙂) to funny (😄)!! I think it still can deliver hilarious scenes.
> OVERALL: 8
I really like this anime. I look forward to the future episodes. It has a a very good story to start with and very different from other anime. It has a great potential to be better to encourage more viewers.
