Well, things are certainly moving. Shounen combat sports tropes continue to carry this where pretty much everything else doesn't. The tournament is neck deep and the combats are... serviceable, but what is keeping me hooked is the unpredictability of the matches. A few upsets and unexpected sweeps are keeping my enthusiasm hot. Not sure how many episodes left, but this is still worth watching if you need an old fashioned sports anime fix.
