Review of Hanebado!

if you love sports anime , then this is a must watch not because of its great story or compelling characters , just for the ABSOULUTLY BREATH TAKING ANIMATION!!! this show follows the tale of a hard worker and a prodigy Nagisa and Hanesaki respectively and basically is a tournemant arc type show Story+Characters : well the story is mostly the tale of the two main characters Nagisa's story is about how she puts out the anger in herself on others and hurts her fellow teammates because they don't live up to her standards but we all know she means herself becouse she can't forgive herselffor being completley destroyed by the prodigy Hanesaki in middle school her develovment comes from the the fact that she faces hanesaki again and learns to control herself .
Hanesaki's arc is a bit more over the top
she was ABANDONED by her mother who is the worlds greatest badminton player and then she finds out she left her to go to Denmark and train a girl to become her successor.
Hanesaki is of course devastated by the finding of her mother in Denmark and after the tournament that she destroys Nagisa in she quits.

well there's one big issue with the story, none of the side characters get any real development , they each get about half an episode and then they are nothing more then watchers of whats happening most of the time
completely wasted good characters and while the main ones are handled well with their development mostly I expected a show that took such great care with their production to make the most out of the characters they have
5/10

Art :
Just watch the trailer
the best looking sports anime ever
10/10

Sound :
OP and ED are great
soundtrack is pretty basic , yet has a few very well done emotional tracks yet they would probably fit better in a show with much better characters
8/10

Overall 7/10 :
An amazingly beautiful sports anime that might not get you hyped up (except ep 12 !!!) but will get your heart racing with gorgeous animation and choreography
recommended for sports anime fans and badminton players mostly, if you're trying to get into sports anime i wouldn't recommend starting with this one preferably go watch hayikuu or kuroko no basket
