Episode 1... is this gonna be like Free & Yuri on Ice? Spoiler I lived in southern California as a kid, did a lot of surfing, haven't done it in forever. Maybe this show will make me nostalgic. No it will not. That whole cold open was trash, none of the characters are interesting, although Tanaka playing the ukulele is endearing. Not really thrilled with it, but being an ex-surfer, I'll give it a couple more episodes to find its footing.
kinda unimpressed with the animation from the first few minutes of episode 1... should i still continue this show?
Episode 2... you're killing me, Smalls. Spoiler Man, this show does not know how to convey emotion like at all. I'm not feeling joy, excitement, fear, infatuation, panic, common sense... every character in the show has one note, and that note is F for failing. I'm gonna give it one more episode, but damn this show is dull. How the fuck are these kids supposed to be 14 year olds?
