This was touted as a sports anime on anichart, so I watched episode 1 and all of a sudden its about idols.

So to have the premise that doing well in sports would lead to a future as an idol is kind of a stretch. Like, wouldn't their success in sports further their career in sports?

Regarding the extreme gear, what the hell does it really do? It looks like they boost the player's abilities, so running would be a dash, jumping would be higher, hitting/kicking would be faster? Since they showed soccer, I was thinking it's like Mario Strikers.

Character wise, I'm ok with them as friends, but it wasn't explained how Sumi knows Saki (are they siblings?). I wonder what's with the robot AIs? They didn't seem very competent in the soccer match. Also, random ad hoc substitutions are a thing.

Not sure if I'll continue to follow this anime all the way, but I'll give it a few more episodes just to watch the sports action.
