I'm with the reviewer on this one as somebody who also enjoyed recitation in high school (we called it "declamation"). It was actually a standalone grade on our report cards where we had to memorize and recite a piece of literature in English class three times a year. As we got older, there was also a chance to do it in Latin and whatever modern language we were taking at the time. Really nothing better than getting over anxiety and getting good at public presentations as an adult than doing something like this as a teenager.
It was even competitive, doing it in front of 400 people if you were really itching to do it. I regret only doing it once (and got a 4th place finish out of 12 which made me chuffed to bits). Looking forward to this anime. |

Man, competitive Speech. That takes me (a long way) back to high school, and cold weekend mornings riding a bus across the state. I was on the Discussion squad of our Speech team (which also had a lot of Theater overlap, myself included), so while I certainly watched more than a few rounds of people reciting or otherwise speaking words real good, I could be found sitting around a table conversing about the various hot topics of the time. On top of that, my school started a media/broadcast program during my senior year of high school that I was a part of, having the run of the fancy custom live broadcasting computer the school had bought, so I can key in on that aspect of the show too.
Even without those personal connections, this was one of the first new shows of the season to hook me. It looks great, especially when it dives into the metaphorical imagery, the cast has some real good chemistry, and it's focusing on an activity that hasn't been run into the ground. |

According to the poorly-designed charts on this article, multiple clubs happen but it's rare. I had always imagined that it was just a Japanese culture thing--that, and Japanese universities not needing 170 extracurriculars as part of their entry requirements. |

This looks like a decent anime. The two main leads who are both girls look so cute together. I would love to see them become a couple in the end. I think I will give this anime a try but before I do, I need to check who create-
Ooooohhhh...... Never mind, then. |
