Watched all four available eps today. This is really solid it’s only flaws imho were the bizarre jiggle physics in that opening scene, and (episode 3 spoiler) protagonist’s mum leaving her because she had a cold and lost one match :wtc: lol that’s ridiculous i hope she returns later on with an actual explanation

also the thread could use a funnier/more clever title

Badmomton.

I do like how the show doesn’t take the characters’ drama entirely seriously. Especially since the moral seems to be ‘yo, you girls are getting way too het up about a fun game’.

i didn't know this had a thread this show owns. ayano's descent into becoming a demon is great and her lines about "gently caress fun, play to win" are the (most likely unintentionally) funniest parts of this show

I’m not sure it’s unintentional. The direction is applying the melodrama in a fun, self-aware way with a lot of moments of tension-deflating comedy, and the sports drama being ridiculous fits well with the core message of ‘christ, people, it’s just a game, have some fun for once in your lives’.
