Onagawa Chuu baske Bu is simple, a very heart-warming and a really nice story to follow, being divided between animation and documentary. What else can be a negative point is the animation, but that would be a bigger problem if it were a conventional sports anime, Onagawa's focus is to tell the story of this team, they environment and how the sport was a way to bring them together after a natural disaster and that he does very well, the mood of the scenes is super comfortable and very motivating in certain parts, I believe this is due to the characters themselves who have avery good synergy and energy and, especially, to those who support them, the residents of that city are what you would expect from a small country town. The documentary part, it's the basics of what you'd expect, however it's interesting to see where the girls ended up after junior high graduation. Onagawa it's not amazing, something that will make you excited about a sublime game, however it conveys a light environment and an excellent message within what is proposed.
