I wish this was a full-fledged series with a higher budget because all the characters truly stole my heart. Especially the found family dynamic of one of the rival teams. The friendships that formed between the main team and a couple of their rivals were also fantastic, I absolutely adored their interactions together. Even the "final boss" rival team made me cry. Again, my only true qualm with this series is that I wish it was longer so the show could focus more on the development of the characters and their relationships.
The acting is what you would expect from a drama acted almost entirely by boy group members but they tried their best, and you also have some extremely strong actors in the mix so it's bearable.
The soundtrack was so much fun, even though some of the louder songs put a damper on the mood sometimes but it was all in good fun. I listened to Shippu Jinrai on repeat after watching the show. I love EBiDAN groups a lot but I never really got into a lot of them properly, and this was the perfect chance for me to get to know more about them.
All in all who doesn't love a good sports story, especially when friendship is involved. If you like friendship, boy groups, and futuristic sports (lol) this is for you.

I wish I knew about this drama sooner it was probably the best drama I've watched this year. I lovedthe acting from all of the cast. Most of the cast had stolen my heart.
I loved how sci-fi was added into a sports drama. I loved how they added these special ability and I was kinda of a shock when Koutaro developed one near the end if i. I would have never guessed sci-fi could be put into a sports drama, Half way through I even forgot that I was even watch a ping pong drama.
Ever time i would see a new team pop up it would feel like I'm watching an action drama instead of a sports drama. I enjoyed watching the rival teams develop a bond with Ebisu team.
i feel like Ritsu and Koutaro needed to trust each other. Yes stuff happened while they were in middle school but Ritsu only wanted to protect his friends. he decided to give up something he loves so Koutaro could carry on. but near the end luckily I was happy when Koutaro finally trusting Ritsu like he used to in middle school and when he were young.
The childhood friends to enemy to friends again is something I live for. I was quite sceptical at first but went in with an open mind and i did not disappoint me.
The storyline did not disappoint either it shows that even if out fall out with someone there is still a chance to make up. The soundtrack did not let me down either I love all of them but my favourite songs are king of ping pong and say my name. I have them in loop or replay them.
You kinda just need to watch this drama with an open mind really

A Rare One
I didn’t expect much out of this show but it gave me a lot that I'm obsessed with it now. The production, high-quality. The plot is unique. The soundtrack is AMAZING. The actors did an amazing job and some of them are cute. I thought that this was going to be an ordinary school drama but no. I was completely wrong. This show is different from other school dramas, which makes it worth a watch and I suggest you go start watching.Was this review helpful to you?
