Review of Stars Align

Just to make one thing clear for viewers: The anime was axed from 24 episodes to 12 episodes that's why the ending was never complete, the director worked on it for 2 years to be complete but suddenly before release last spring, they cut him short and forced the team to reconstruct the whole thing in 12 episodes. It is really sad not to get the full potential of the anime but it's still amazing that despite being axed it was one of my favorite anime this season. In a nutshell: not your typical sports anime, it's much deeper, shedding light on individual struggles andhow the cast deal with each other to hide their abusive lives and try to believe that they are fine and happy.

The anime is actually dark ad saddening, although the art style is very warm and happy.

Overall, I really enjoyed it and I wish someday it continues
