The CGI was so smooth and watching it gave me goosebumps :') Our baby grew up so fast, and I feel so proud of Inori and Tsukasa's growth. Sports anime best genre!

The character development is huge for a 13 episode anime and the pacing was balanced all throughout. And that ending definitely set the tone for the next season. Masterclass writing!

What a satisfying ending! All that hard work really paid off. The narration during the performance was delivered so well too

A nice finale episode to end the season. Looking at Inori's and Tsukasa's journey from the beginning and seeing where they both are today makes you feel emotional and happy. Inori became a better person who is proud of who she is now. What a great journey it has been.

What an emotional finale; I couldn't be more proud of everyone, especially Inori, Coach, and Rioh. They somewhat showed a glimpse of the past, and how Inori surpassed those challenges just to get where she is right now. This is totally a good season finale and setup for S2.

This is the payoff for every fall and every tear shed since Episode 1. It’s a masterclass in how to end a sports season, leaving you with a sense of pride in the characters and an immediate desire to see where their journey goes next

This episode keeps things grounded and honest, focusing on growth and quiet determination. The emotional moments feel natural and not forced, and the pacing gives enough space to really feel the progress. It’s simple, but it hits in a very real, human way and leaves a strong impr

Pacing is perfect, CGI has been done extremely well, and it's an amazing anime, honestly. I love the little tradition the coach and student have. The character development has been amazing on the protagonist ofc, but even the mom and Rioh, the performance was emotional af, 10/10.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As the thirteenth and final episode, 'Morning Arrives' follows 'Shirone's Lesson,' which broadened the lens to Tsukasa's coaching perspective and Rioh's struggles, before snapping focus back to Inori for the climax. This finale serves as the payoff for an entire season of incremental growth, circling back to where Inori's story began while clearly laying emotional and narrative groundwork for a continuation beyond this season.
