The whole concept of this from the start was about a second chance the second throw If anyone who has ever played bowling you would know you are given a second throw if you failed to knock down all 10 pins on the first go around. If you managed to knock them all on the first throw it is a strike but if you manage to get it on the second throw it is called a spare. Now a strike isnt the most easy thing which is always nice to have that second chance where you failed the first time. Now if you think about that logic yes it does sound honestly nice and sweet. It does have a great life lesson to that as well that life isnt about how successful you manage to do things the first time around because truth be told... well fail more than we will succeed. The idea is to get back up and go again without giving up. Its what Rocky said Its not about how hard you can hit its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward So with that idea in there we get a chance to tell a great coming of age overcoming your hardship and your struggle having great valuable life lessons and growing together. And to make it even better why not just put CGDCT in there because we know this worked in many other shows especially one of the greatest anime in A Place Further than the Universe. We have a recipe for success right here on our hand. We have a girl who has lost her parents in a tragic accident and another girl trying to find her place and etc... each girl having their own hardship and identity crises to deal with. And we have the most important setup they are all on a team together. And you know what else they have? The first freaking anime about bowling We have so many other sports anime but how many have been about bowling? None this is a rare chance to give a spot light on a popular sport that many love to just do for fun. Its one of those you dont need to be good to be able to enjoy. And its one that you can do by yourself or with friends. So this was nice to see an anime spotlight on this sport thats well known. I heard about this anime for a while now and been waiting in huge anticipation. Since I am part of a bowling team and was so excited to see an anime about a sport I play. And I waited and waited and finally here we are in Summer 2025... LETS GO I get ready put on the first episode your usual drama and stuff... animation is pretty decent the girls design are okay... so far so good I am vibing with this show... We get towards the freaking end... BAM Lightning and Thunder strikes... were not going to be no dang sports anime were going to be an ISEKAI https://i.ur.com/90pE60b.gif Boy my disappointment was immeasurable... after all this waiting for this anime to just be another trash isekai... But you know here am I coping that hey maybe its just going to be 34 episode and well go back to the real world... as I wait and wait... I started to see that I was dealing with Stockholm Syndrome. I was lying to myself that it will be alright that well get through this well become a normal anime again... but weeks go by and I die more and more inside... that Im just at the point that... there is no return... Im already too far in... and by the end... a part of me die along with this anime... I kind of wish I can go back in time again and tell myself save yourself time dont watch this crap... watch something else... but nope... so save yourself time dont watch this unless you want a braindead anime that fails to be a trope or parody... instead it try to take itself seriously and fails to be anything at all... Sorry just me ranting for most of the review...
