Review of 2.43: Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Team

I had high hopes for this ever since the first episode, but that quickly diminished as the series goes on. The story became a pile of rubbish, ruined by rushed pacing. The story itself is decent, but paired with bad pacing, then it'd be much much worst than it actually is. The characters are non-existent. Basically, anyone other than the two main characters and the two rival characters, aren't developed to make them "characters". There are the captain and the other guy (forgot his name cause that's all they are, forgettable) that got little development. But all their interaction and development are so stiff and unnatural thatwhen it comes to their friendship, it doesn't feel like friendship but as bromance.

Animation is average. But considering the studio behind it, David Production, I expected too much. Same thing happened with Hataraku Saibou season 2, but it doesn't seem like they are focusing on either anime since they don't have any fantastic animation.

Music is the only saving grace of this anime. And even then, it's just the opening and ending that are exceptional. The OST is average, and the timing is decent. The opening and ending are some of the best in this winter season.

Overall, it's a disappointing mess of a series that with a longer run, could have fix a lot of problems that I have.
(4.4/10)
