Hanebado!

We've reached the finale and it had me on the edge of my seat. The tournament was intense. 🤣 After all the tension and psychological stress, it's good that there's character growth and closure. Though I wish they did a better job. I still prefer the manga over this. Decent sports anime though.

What an emotional rollercoaster of a show. 😭 Oh, it's a sports anime, alright! This episode really makes you feel the heavy weight of how toxic the situation has become. Ayano needs to snap out of it. The badminton matches are still cool though. LOL.

The final match is here! The atmosphere is still toxic and it's all because these characters won't go to therapy. 😭 Seriously speaking though, Uchika is such a bad mother. Ayano genuinely needs help and needs to get away from all this. This was such a hard watch...

I wish I could stop using the word "drama" on every review I make of these episodes, but that's exactly what we keep getting. 😭 There's still so much tension between the characters. There's so much emotional toll. On top of that, there's an attempt at adding romance. Guess that's normal for teenagers though, but it's pretty unnecessary.

That was a great ending but i want more!!! especially the national tournament T_T. Hope there's season 2 soon. This was really good since i love about badminton. The story also went so well and awesome developed and the written of each characters were so complex and so depth. That was the great one of this show. Anw ELENA IS A GOAT!!! SHE'S MVP OF THIS SEASON !!!! T_T ILY ELENA

STILL DON'T LIKE UCHIKA, she is still insanely selfish and arrogant, also she doesn't see her child as hers.... Also Ayano more and more looks so awaful like her mother now... She has a mother issue but she's the one who looks like the mother then. Anw this episode was really fun and also intense haha. The match was really good with smooth animation.

Finally the final day the tournament. I still don't like the way how Uchika left Ayano because of badminton.... Why is she choose badminton instead her daughter?! IDK WHY :D. Also Ayano's personalities was really bad here such a selfish...

This one has slower pace than before. But this episode really has more emotional than another previous episode. This one is kinda boring, yeah boring episode but haha it's really cute to see Yuu and Yukiteru love story hahaha.

It was a chill and charming episode! This one kinda mixed between chill, wholesome, and also serious. This one is really more dramatic and it keeps getting bigger. I really don't like about Ayano's mom like... yeahh you know it.. But this one is kinda intense tho especially between Ayano and Connie.

This one really intense between Nagisa and Nozomi hahaha. Also this one really shows the contrast between Nagisa and Ayano. LIKE THE UPSIDE DOWN OF THEM IN THE FIRST EPISODE??!?!? I guess it's a common thing in sport anime with dramatic scene but this one keeps getting more and more dramatic. Hahaha but really enjoyed this show.

No way the rivalry between Ayano and Kaoruko is more intense here. It was such an intense match anw hhahaha. But i really don't like how Ayano personalities here. She was such an arrogant like the upside down of her before (definitely evil Ayano) hahaha.

Woahhh finally the tournament is here!!!. We're going to see more of cool and intense match here haha i love it. I really like about their school and also the students. They are supportive to each other and it gives a positive vibes. Anw Riko seems scared here. Go Riko!!!

Lots of drama here, I would to blame Ayano's mother at this time for all her issues... hmm ALL their issues. The match was really intense and Connie's personalities has a develop here. THE FAST ONE. But at the end hmm kinda weird about that scene. It was a good sport anime anw. Hope improve for the next eps

NO WAY HER MOMMY ISSUE just keep getting triggered all the way. Feel bad for Ayano T_T. The new characters really interesting especially the blond one. She's scared me T_T and her personalities kinda interesting hmmm

WHY THAT PINK HAIR DID THAT TO AYANO???? AND HER MOTHER ..... That was insane. REALLY INSANE. This episode was kinda heavy and very emotional. Ayano's trauma really haunted her til this eps TT. CRINE. I really like about the animation while they were playing badminton haha that was so smooth and really satisfying.

This one has great at writing especially at Nagisa characters. There is such a development for her. She is really really good now hahha. Kinda didn't like about Nagisa before but now on she's such a good character. Maybe there's another reason why is she like that? yeahh idk

That was a fun ep! A mix of both wholesome and serious. The drama keeps getting bigger as we learn more about the characters' pasts and see how family history is messing with everyone's heads. 😭 The mother is really getting on my nerves...

This episode really shows the contrast between Nagisa and Ayano. One is all about her love of the game, and the other desperately needs therapy... 😭 Elena seeing this happen to her best friend is really sad. The show just keeps getting more and more dramatic. Nozomi, get outta there!

We get more of the rivalry between Ayano and Kaoruko (I actually shipped them in the manga 🤣), and it's such an intense match. Evil Ayano is so funny to me, I don't know why... 😭 Elena's still my favorite here.

The Inter-High preliminaries are finally here, which means more of those really cool matches we love to watch. I really like how their club advisor supports them in any way she can. The focus is on Riko and if she'll manage to work through her self-doubt. Go for it, Riko!
