Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm https://myanimelist.net/anime/28391/Ao_no_Kanata_no_Four_Rhythm AoKana is a sports show, and one of I believe two fake sports show (although list spoiler, one of them has become a real sport) that is going to be on this list. The sport in question is called flying circus. An event where players using these flying type shoes race and battle each other. It mainly focuses on Asuka Kurashina, a young girl who is just starting to get into the game. The show has a pretty simple cast of characters. They don't quite get as fleshed out as some other shows on this list, but they do have distinct personalities. There is not too much in the way of their back stories like a lot of other sports shows seem to need to make us fully aware of for every single character and because it doesn't do that it does cover some good ground in the short span this runs. All the characters are pretty straightforward in their outlook. Asuka simply likes the sport and wants to get better at it and Masaya Hinata a guy who reluctantly starts to coach her even though he wanted to be rid ofthe sport for good. Despite the simpleness to each of them, the anime does a lot with these small character traits that are initially revealed. The story is really set into a three main parts: introduction, training, and tournament. There are small side points throughout but it does follow the normal sports show formula. There is not too much to the story itself, it's heavily driven by the characters ideals and changing viewpoints. The real anchor is Asuka as almost every character and story point is filter through her. There is a surprising amount of content that gets tossed in though as they start and finish character and story points that should take entire arcs to complete in other shows in an episode or two. The show seems incredibly fast paced and almost leisurely at the same time. Lets get to the actual sport. The actual flying circus portions are a joy to watch. They are well animated and have a level of excitement that not every sports show is able to match. It helps that the show really gives the characters focus so that you know it's more than simply winning or losing. There is something more personal at stake for each of them. It doesn't quite get the level of emotional commitment the top tier sports shows are going to give you but still does more than enough. AoKana is has a lot of depth hidden under the cute exterior. It's a show that is worth picking up despite some of the hick ups. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:885933929] in Kokoro's t...
