If you're reading this, I'd dare to assume you're planning to watch this anime or are still deciding whether you should watch it or not. I'm going to give my opinion, though I'm not a professional reviewer. Plot In this (almost) 27 years old anime we are unfolded the history of Akari and her efforts to reach her dream, her goal, achieved previously by her mother. Shy, honest and caring Akari isn't your average op character. You could even say she's mid in terms of power, agility, speed etc. But she makes up for it with her heart. Despite that, she does grow in the anime, both asan athlete and as a character, together with the other participants who inhabit the same dormitory as her. Together they go through mischievous mishappenings, where they redefine friendship, struggling to be better and so on.
In my opinion, the plot was good, but didn't really deliver. Perhaps it's because I'm not into this genre.

Characters

As you can imagine, here we have the usual bunch: The angry, the deceiver, the energetic, the stoic and so on. They do go through personal growth, although it's not very noticeable. The main character doesn't over-occupy the screen, leaving space for the other characters to shine, so that the viewer can get familiar with them. I really liked the designs of the characters, but more than that I loved the voice acting. It's really well done.

Animation

As I previously mentioned, the anime is 27 years old. But despite the age, the art is good. It's not the best, but it gives that nostalgic feeling. Personally, I'm into retro and that's why I mostly watched this. The voice acting got me hooked to it. And that's about it.

Summary

I'd like to say that this show is for you if you're into sport and classical troupe. It's not the best , but it's further from being the worst. Even if you're not, it can be enjoyable.
