This was the first sports anime I ever watched so I am not sure what is normal for this type of anime or not. For my taste it was meh.

Each episode was 22 minutes long. My favorite part of the episodes was the short rugby lessons for the viewer at the end to explain the game rules and that is why I finished it.

The character development was lacking, perhaps they needed air time for the sport itself. The story a simple one. What I found really, REALLY odd was the rival team acting like knights of the round table, literally. Complete with round table and chairs, a throne and kneeling underlings. I was asking what is this weirdness? Were they trying to put king Author into this? Why?

The characters hardly looked like athletes to me. They were too scrawny and their faces too similar. I suppose that is why they used strange hair & eye color, otherwise we could not tell them apart but why such feminine men? Sheese.

While I did not hate it, I did not enjoy it either. It was just not interesting to me on any level.
