Anima Yell!

I have never been a particularly huge fan of cheerleading because of all the American movies I have watched and the way they are portrayed in those movies. I was just not interested in cheerleading at all. However, despite all that I decided to give this anime series a chance, and I was very pleasantly surprised. There is a lot of emphasis on the cheerleaders' main job in encouraging others, motivating them, and giving them strength through their performances, and I really like that concept. Also, the whole feel of the show is sweet, fun, and energetic, so I was able to really get into every episode. As for the characters, Kohane reminded me of other characters like Kaos from Comic Girls, and I was therefore beyond pleased and charmed by her enthusiasm for the cause, a bit of mischief, and light-heartedness - I enjoy characters like that. In conclusion, this anime series about cheerleading managed to cheer me up during the winter months and I was also able to root for the main female protagonists, and basically just made my days at least a little bit better. In the end, I too will be cheering the girls on and awarding this show what I think is a well-deserved 7/10. (2018.12.24)
