FIRST IMPRESSION: HANEBADO

HANEBADO is a sports , seinen anime from Liden Films that follows the badminton club of Kitakomachi highschool. It has two main characters, Ayano Hanesaki and Nagisa Aragaki. The former being a genius of the sport and having an ability to surpass others effortlessly while the latter being a hard worker who although is not as talented as the other but still works day and night to improve herself. Both of them have conflicting ideas as for Ayano badminton is just another sport while for Nagisa it's something that she lives for. Now, the first episode was one of the most impressive first episodes that I have ever watched. I was not really excited for hanebado as I am not into sports anime but this just blew my mind. The animation quality, soundtrack, visuals, character designs,everything was top notch. The writing of this episode was just perfect. The main reason why I loved this first episode so much is because of the serious tone of the show, it presents itself as a heavy hearted emotional drama and succeeds on all accounts. All the characters are coherent and well setup. The first episode suggests a lot of character development in the future which is always a good sign. Overall hanebado is a series that I urge everyone to check out and follow weekly as it has the potential of being the best anime this season.
