Really good first ep for someone who isn't a big fan of sports anime. I had to rewatch the first part because i was too into the fact that Jun Fukuyama was narrating and his speech sounded like Lelouch a bit lol. Kakeru isn't annoying (not yet anyways), but his voice actor(ress) gave me a scare thinking he'd be annoying as Renton from Eureka Seven. All in all, a good first episode with surprisingly good animation and having Shizuka Itou as a main character is another plus for me.
3.5/5
