First tournament or only one tournament

You could see him having a leg cramp

It feels personal for me, since I woke up to a leg cramp this morning lol

They now got lockers!

Also tournament arc let’s goo lol

Completely unrelated to their efforts. :P

Lol I'm guessing Sakaki and Mizushima placed last if Mizushima didn't want to reveal their ranking so that's too bad since Sakaki has been looking forward to playing with Mizushima for a while now.

The match between Mizushima and Matsuda was interesting, just as I expected stamina was the main issue with Matsuda but I can understand why he wasn't happy with the win since the last few points he scored was because of Mizushima's mistakes and that last smash was an overwhelming one.

It was nice to learn more about Sakaki and Matsuda, I thought Matsuda was going to encounter Mizushima at the restaurant instead. I have a feeling the two would make a good doubles team, kind of Tatsuru and Mikoto from Ryman's Club where Sakaki is the brawn and Matsuda is the brain, that'd help with his stamina issue too.

I was really hoping that the Sakaki and Mizushima pair would do well. :(

Mizushima v Matsuda was a pretty close match. They’re both more or less on equal footing. I mean Matsuda might lack stamina, but his basics are on point. Mizushima has good physical prowess even if his abilities aren’t as sharp. They kind of balance each other out. They really should have been doubles partners. Mizushima almost had Matsuda with that smash, if only his abilities were a little more honed. But the kid is definitely getting there.

I really like Uchida’s positivity, man. The dude might just be the best character in the show. He works hard and does his best. Got nothing but respect for him. Mizushima’s sister as well, she’s so supportive. She’s Mizsuhima’s biggest cheerleader. That’s a good sister right there.

The storyline is pretty nice but the animation... its degrading every episode... It's honestly tough to watch with such animations but hopefully i'll still continue

man i totally like the guys relationship - too bad the double wasn't shown more detailed

The animation is getting worse with each episode, and the errors in positioning are becoming more cringe too. Oh well, I will just continue due to the respect for the sport itself it gave me so much, so I won't betray it.

Tournament arc . Alright! They still not showing the main talent of the MC. which is fast-learner.

I see I don't mind slow paced

The only thing the mc need to do is keep working and build up more strengh.

Handsome Lone Wolf™ >u>

Can't have a sports anime without a tournament arc.
Mizushima finally perfecting is foresight ^ ^

Why are they showing the banners and audience instead of their moves. Hanebado had some drama but it showed the moves during the game. If you take away the moves in a sports anime, it becomes trash. And this anime seems to be on the road to become trash 😞

I just saw today its in live action too! 16 episodes out so far so they do anime and real life!
its also called love all play

Actually hoped to see doubles with a Mizushima-Matsuda pair, forgot that Sakaki had already set his eyes on Mizushima from ep2

All I gotta say is what happened to first to get 21 points rule? It was a nice Mizushima vs Matsuda match but kinda cringe for me when they played to deuce and beyond for an actual match point. I guess it was to convey all their concentration but still cringe for me.

Push For ward! that guy have good strong voice, you can hear it everywhere xD

✨FOCUS✨, boys!

YESSIR, this is going incredibly.

Akira and Matsuda really put a lot of effort into their training as well as their studies.
Wow! The twins have already entered the tournament !!!

mc isn't even a bench warmer

we can play like normal people HAAHAHA

im getting tired watching their breaths

it was funny how their heads were bobbing

that end of the match was frustrating for both, I know Mizushima was unbothered, but if the game continues he might win

aint tournament arc too soon

it really was too season but it doesn't compare to futsal boys tourna arc

Time for a Saturday morning dosage of badminton!

If you have a gym where we can play (and money to pay my living costs in your country) we can make that dosage a permanent one in the mornings, afternoons or nights :D

Assuming you're American like me, I'd say yes, but given my part-time job, I'd be lying if I can say I could manage. XD

Portuguese :D I have a full time job and can't even manage to have my own house.

trash anime

two can play that game, trash opinion.

yet you're u still here on episode 5

i totally enjoy that one, even though the animation doesn't reach the one of Aoi Ashi

it seems okay
