Review of Hanebado!

An anime has never given me such a bad headache before. I despise it. I loathe it. Get it out of my sight. It's a shame too, this show had potential with nice animation for when they're playing and decent art that actually looked fairly alright at times with the lighting and attention to detail. However the budget has seemingly gone to the animation as opposed to making the show a genuinely enjoyable experience for the viewer. Soundtrack? Mediocre and forgettable (that goes for the opening and ending as well). The overall plot of the show was mind-numbing and infuriating with poor writing and terrible developments that made mequestion my own reality and why I was dedicating my time to it. Add onto that an underwhelming ending and you've got yourself a show not worth your time.

Could have been a nice introduction to the sport of badminton for many... Too bad it had to have a terrible storyline and abysmal characters so idiotic and contrived it makes me wince.
