The Gymnastics Samurai :)

This anime seems to be getting some unreasonable hate. After just finishing the anime, I can say it's an awesome blend of slice of life and sports.  

This anime makes you interested in gymnastics, something that I wouldn't normally seek out and watch, but it's made awesome in The Gymnastics Samurai, mainly due to the fact the anime makes you care so much for the characters behind the gymnastics as you see the heartships Jotaro and his lovely daughter Rei have been through but keep fighting for what they believe in. 

Rei herself is such an inspirational character as she selflessly let's go of things important to her and takes care of herself so her father Jotaro, can focus on his future gymnastics career.Leonardo the ninja brings some fresh comedy into the anime with the mix of supporting characters as well, but Leo also has his own heartships and it's so beautiful to see them all come together helping each other to overcome them and move forward.

There are these epic training montages that will remind you of classic legendary films like the rocky series, so I personally really enjoyed these.

Both the opening and closing theme songs are fantastic here, I enjoyed listening to both. In conclusion I highly recommend this anime it's unique and a nice change of pace with a perfect blend of slice of life and sports anime.

(also some of the scenes will hit you emotionally., oh the feels.
