I love this show! Made me wanna participate in sports

Tuğçe Bostancı

It's watchable if you have no other options. It's not an awful anime but borderline boring.

Rather felt like a sitcom and LGBTQ+ bait

Fanservice for the ladies right up my alley, yet the story and characters didn't get me invested

Gay best friends go swimming, literally everyone in this is hella gay and everyone in this is always wet.

I mean... It's a sports anime. You come for the poor understanding of a sport, stay for the fanservice.

i had to get to the final season to really get into it but totally understand why people like it. totally recommend if you like sports anime

It's enjoyable. I wouldn't class it as a 'good' anime though.

Gay boys doing gay things. A twist on the "cute girls doing cute things". Still completely boring.

Dudes being guys, guys being dudes, dudes being gay. Also Is there also a word to describe person who is sexually attracted to water?
