Review of Hanebado!
First of, full props to the animators and sound designers, the badminton match sequences were some of the most well-animated I have seen in sports anime. The sounds were also great, special mention to the OP and ED which I loved. That aside, the story did suffer at points, and at times it just got a little bit too over-the-top with the drama, especially for a sports anime. Some of the characters also had flaws, it's just a little rushed to watch a character do so many u-turns in personality over a few episodes. All in all, still a decent watch. I did enjoy myself especiallyat the episodes of badminton matches. Some of the matches got me really intrigued and I could feel the excitement and intensity just by watching.
Now excuse me while I go out to play some badminton.
