Let me start by saying that I am a sucker for sports series. A lot of sports series that are considered mediocre, will be loved by me. On the one hand, this also goes for Do Retry. When I went into this series I expected the absolute worst, but I ended up enjoying it. But on the other hand, I can also confidently say that Do Retry is not good. And here is why. Art: Let's start off with maybe the most important part of a series and well, it ain't pretty. The art feels static. Art feels rough, unrealistic and depressing. Bodies look like theyare drawn by a mediocre highschooler, especially the abs. The rest of the art is decent. Nothing to really write home about, good enough. There were some good parts, mainly in the matches, but overall it wasn't good.

Characters: Just like the art, the characters weren't good. They were all flat, if you could even consider them that. The author just gives everyone a sad backstory and acts as if that is enough to make anybody care for a character. Even the main characters feel empty. Aozora's whole character is that he... Yeah, no clue what it was, as it wasn't there. The only thing he had was his "strong heart", more on that later.

Story: The story is also just bad. Other than the setting of post war Japan, there really isn't much. The main character has to fight for his sister and then just randomly we get thrown into the end, this isn't completely the author fault as he had no influence on the series ending, but still it felt very very random. No build up or anything.

In conclusion, Do Retry is very bad, there are no reall good things to say other than that some of the action panels looking decently good. But for some reason I can't hate it. Maybe it is because I went in expecting it to be abysmall, or maybe just because I love sports series, but I really can't hate it.
