The story setup is fun: a school club of bowling girls gets sent back in time to the Sengoku period in the middle of a battlefield. Scenarios played out are what you'd expect from a group in a time travel situation: bewilderment, shock, cultural shift, technological differences, and linguistic issues. Watching the girls navigate a new, or rather old, world is entertaining as they try to cautiously avoid any actions that might affect the future. Overall, the show is silly, yet it weaves in moments of reality that remind the characters and viewers where they are. Politics and morals contrast, and heads get chopped off, rolling around likea bowling ball.

Unfortunately, the show progressively gets worse. While there are dilemmas and mysteries, the solutions and reasons often feel cheap. Akin to "with the power of friendship", "everyone gets a happy ending", and "deus ex machina".
Rediculous situations arise that are resolved with equally ludicrous answers, with the finale being an unrealistic and nonsensical circus.

The entirety of the show is one big roundabout way for the characters to forcibly bond with each other and fix inter-relational and personal problems that hold them back from succeeding in bowling. The anime was enjoyable enough to finish easily, but not good enough to recommend to friends or rewatch.
