I personally like this anime. If you look past the ecchi zoom-ins and treat it as a sports anime, it's actually not that bad. Heck, I'd even consider removing the ecchi tag. The characters are cute and have a decent head on their shoulders, and the sports action animation is decent (the ball animation seems iffy to me). Character development is shown through skill improvement and we are shown their efforts through their trainings and matches. The anime also focuses on the dynamics of beach volleyball - on how it is (should be) played, the tactics involved, and its difference from typical indoor volleyball. Overall,I give it a yes.
