The beginning of this season is sort of off-beat and the animation is slightly different so it was a little disappointing. The story begins to pick up and becomes so exciting and fun! Having an all freshman team opens up for many kinds of games and stories to come with it and this season captures that really well. Every character gets the chance to develop throughout the games. The team is so funny and sweet and I love them all! With two incredible seasons with a great set-up for future games and possible conflicts, it's sad that there are not more episodes. Of course, themanga continues which may be worth the read and also these two seasons are so uplifting, they'd be good to rewatch any time. Such an impressive sports anime!!
