I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
This show is incredibly good. I got a Haikyu kind of vibe from it when I saw previews and I’m not disappointed.

Is there anyway the thread title can be changed? It’s really a disservice to the quality of the show.

This is mocaped 3D and drawing over it right because I refuse to believe that a studio could labor this animation quality back to back

90% sure it's majority CG. Certainly all the shuttlecocks and rackets are. I think the character movement is as well (not sure if its mo-capped or just good video reference/skill) but the faces must be hand drawn. Smoke is probably hand drawn as well. It's nuts.

This is good enough.

I'd have gone with "Sadminton" if this episode didn't end on a seemingly happy note.

Could Matoi update the title or someone with PM's let them know? Much appreciated.

It really, really is. I've been humming it to myself all day at work.

Also I didn't notice until the second or third time watching the OP, that the heavily stylized quick-cuts at the beginning weren't being reused near the end, but rather were a continuation of the earlier scenes (see AnacondaHL's post on the first page combining both halves)

Badminton is such a fun sport. You don't have to brace for impact with a ball like tennis, it's just fast back and forth with a little light thing and light rackets. Great stuff.

I have not seen this show. The opening is well done though.

Ep3: Wow her mum is a trash person

I assume there is more to it than that, but yeah, not a good look. Also Elena is a good friend and I'm glad she got an episode largely devoted to her.

So she left her kid to go screw some cute french girl?

I can respect that.

I thought this was a great episode and this and last ep showed what we can likely expect the standard episode animation to look like which was still solid. I know some people were worried it might do a Keijo (ironically) and blow its budget in the first episode but that doesn't look like it'll happen.

That pink-haired girl should be arrested for biological warfare.

Also, gently caress you, jerk hot mom. Her excuse is probably some bullshit like "I could't stand seeing badminton take a toll on your health/needed to let you grow independently" or whatever.

I took a look at the manga, and man the anime starts off so much stronger. I'm really glad they didn't make a 1:1 adaptation.

Man, there no excuse for abandoning your child. Hopefully they won't hand-wave away whatever reason the mom had.

Yep. She didn't even say farewell or anything, she left in the middle of the night. WTF. She is going to win the 'Gendo Ikari 2018 award' to worst parent.

Maybe she was being threatened by the international badminton mafia and had to cut all ties to protect her.

There are plenty of excuses, so I'm hoping that she's being threatened with the guillotine should her trainee ever lose a game, and the show ends with a touching reunion between mother and child followed by a Russian Badminton robot killing her with a smash.

I'd also laugh if she suddenly suffered amnesia and accidentally found her way into Europe, genuinely just forgetting her family.

Poor Ayano, cursed to have an endless parade of crazy badminton girls obsessed with her.

If this turns out to be one of those terrible sports anime parent things where her mom abandoned her to make her stronger and go raise a rival for her and Ayano eventually ends up being okay with that I'm going to scream.
