QUICK TAKES

There's so much to look forward to for this anime. It's one of the best romance anime in the modern era. I think it's pretty underrated too. The manga was even more popular during its release than I feel with the reception of the anime. I believe as time goes on it will slowly be accepted as one of the better romance out there, similar to the reception tsuki ga kirei got

Siento que en este capítulo se avanzp todo lo que no vimos en los anteriores 3 o 4, sufris con los personajes y al mismo tiempo te alegras por ellos, es un cierre muy abierto pero al mismo tiempo entiendo que dejan una buena base para la segunda temporada. En general una serie buena dentro de su género.

I have mixed opinion about the final episode! It wasn't satisfactory but feels like it created a way to start a fresh, cozy atmosphere for season 2(if any). The pacing was just okay but Taiki's character and emotional development clearly reflects! Overall, 7/10 for the season.

THE FINALE! I am literally shaking. The ending was so satisfying but also left me wanting a thousand more episodes. Seeing how far they’ve both come in their sports and their relationship is so rewarding.

Although the ending might leave the audience wondering, it's definitely the best ending for now. The pace isn't as high as the previous episodes, but it's still worth watching because it might be the beginning of Taiki and Chinatsu's true relationship. A great anime, worth it!

Nah this whole show is a waste of time. There wasn't even any conclusion and in the end she was just used as a device for clearing up his feelings. I mean, I get it, that was the point. But it's such a terrible way of doing things. I get it, she started it. But still.

After 25 episodes of emotional cardio, we are FINALLY breathing. Are we healed? No. Are we thriving? Also no. But we are hopeful and that’s enough.

This episode feels so perfect, the ending I want from an anime, the graphics of the "Nationals" dream are epic. Suspense ends with a beautiful cliffhanger for the future!

Seeing the training camp wrap up with that quiet, snowy vibe back at the house was the perfect way to end. but still seeing hina covering her face and man it was so bittersweet and painful.

Emotional clarity and controlled decision-making. Taiki reaches a crucial point where he must confront his feelings, but he prioritizes transparency and responsibility. Chinatsu’s role reinforces balance. She remains composed and supportive, avoiding emotional pressure

The constant banter between Taiki and Hina the start of the anime is something cherish. But Taiki and Chinatsu's chemistry is definitely spot on.

Episode 25 delivers strong emotional payoff. The tension between Taiki and Chinatsu feels natural and meaningful. Small gestures and quiet moments carry a lot of emotional weight.

The episode beautifully balances sports intensity with quiet emotional moments, highlighting Taiki’s growth not only as an athlete but also as someone learning to express his feelings more honestly. Youthful ambition, subtle romance, and the bittersweet excitement of chasing both

A heartfelt climax as Taiki and Chinatsu confront their feelings while balancing personal goals. Emotional moments of support and vulnerability highlight growth, making the finale both heartbreaking and wholesome, perfectly capturing the series’ themes of young love

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming directly after 'A Roller Coaster,' which escalated the tension around Hina's unresolved feelings for Taiki, this finale serves as the emotional landing point for the season's central conflicts around identity, ambition, and unspoken affection. As the twenty-fifth and final episode, it doesn't just close arcs — it positions Taiki, Hina, and the rest of the cast at a turning point, setting the foundation for future seasons to build on the emotional groundwork laid here.
