Four girls teaming up for their high school ping pong team doesn’t sound like much, yet this show has proven to be unexpectedly enjoyable to me. The introspections of the main characters are explored to contextualize their decisions and changes in behavior, while the character interactions are delightful and pretty funny at times. This is all accompanied by stellar animation and cinematography. The downside is that this show is on the shorter side, so the story can feel a bit simplistic and we only see the development of a few characters. Also, there’s some additional characters hinted throughout who we don’t actually get to meet,which is a bummer since they look pretty cool. Overall, this is a good show to check out. Adjusted score: 7 / 10. Personal score: 6 / 10.
