Review of Hanebado!

Oh wow, what did I just watch here Sports anime is always something that I liked because it's unique. Baby Steps, Kurobas, Haikyuu, Free, all of them are really pleasing to watch. Of course, I had an expectation for this anime especially since I myself like badminton but, it was quite a let down tbh. I got immersed into it for the first 2 episodes because they did a really good job on portraying character and story but after that I don't even know what they're aiming anymore. Unlike most of the sports anime, the competition scene wasn't really appealing (with the exception of the last episode)so I thought they would've focus more on the story but nope, not really. A lot of things in the story was just bland. Character development is undeniably just ridiculous (especially with the change of personality stuff) and there are lots of background story that are like come and go, they tell us about it a bit and just move along without really giving a conclusion.

In the end what was this all about? Honestly idk, it's just a come and go for me too anyways. Story was too wrapped up to even find a good conclusion and the competition was just too bland to be attracted for. I guess they wanted to focus on the story, abandoning the competition scene but failed miserably.

Overall I give this a 6. Stayed just because my love for badminton and sports anime. They should've been able to manage better even for a 13 episode long anime.
