ive recently watched this anime and i absolutely loved it. i can pretty much agree with everything you said about this, and the story did feel weird. it felt like they wanted to do more with it but they didn't exactly know where they wanted to go with it. as a writer myself, they might have been stuck on time and deadlines so they couldn't really exactly fill it the way they wanted to. and also with the movie, they might be able to explain everything left unsaid because they'll be given more time to work with.
Hey there! Thank you for your comment and views on this, I totally agree, it could've potentially been a time limitation, and I too hope the movie will finish it up nicely! 😁
I imagine that they showed less competitions as it's a hard sport to animate with lots of people. I agree with your opinion but maybe that's why they didn't have many competitions. IDK I really liked the characters and openings. I was pretty disappointed b Skateleading Stars so I was happy to jump on the Bakuten train.
I’m with you on most things but the thing with gymnastics… is that we don’t compete that often, and even if you train the sport you don’t necessarily compete, competitions are held twice a year in most places 😂
