Disclaimer: I tried avoiding Spoiler for the Sake of getting more People on this Anime For this Reason the Review might feel a bit superficial and im super sorry about that. Second of all please dont mind the Grammar Mistakes i make. Im not a Native Speaker of the English Language i hope that i still can manage the task of making this Review readable to everyone.
What is Tsurune about?
Tsurune is the Story about Minato Narumiya and the newly established Kazemai Kyudo Club. Kyudo is a Combat Sport where Players try to hit Targets with a Bow and Arrow which is like Normal Archery but without Points You just need to hit your Target thats it. Which might seems Easy on the first Glance but becomes much deeper the more you get in the Anime. One Reason why is the Main protagonist of the Story Minato he suffers from a condition that many Kyudo athletes had before him that makes it almost impossible to hit your Target. This Story is about the Future of Minato the Kazemai Kyudo Club and everyone involved with the Situation.

The Characters
The Anime features a small cast of Characters. These are mostly Students who Practice Kyudo at the Kazemai and Rivaling Schools. But the most Important Character isnt a Student it is a Teacher. The Teacher of the Kazemai Kyudo Club to be exact MasaSan is an Important character for not only our Protagonist but the whole cast. He seems to have an Influence on almost everyone in the Anime and takes the Role of the Center which connects it all. I dont want to go into depth because Spoilers but the Cast features great Characters like our Main Team or the Girls Team which got zero to no screentime sadly. Still the Cast is Great and every character feels Unique in their own way which i find very Important for a Sport Anime.

Soundtrack and Visuals
What can i say if you havent guessed it already I absolutly Love the Visual representation of the Anime. Kyoto Animations did a phenomenal Job Animating this Series. The Artstyle looks Detailed but still calm and wellordered i also like that Scenes can be Super Bright or very Dark depending on current Situation. The Soundtrack didnt disappointed either the OST fits the whole Theme of the Show well enough to not feel out of Place The Opening is really Good one of my Favorite Ops of all Time already but it didnt really care for the Ed it was rather meh in my Opinion.

Final Thoughts
For this Review i thought i just share my Thoughts rather than present my Opinions on what is the best Moment or Character. So im really glad i came by this Anime it was a Great Experience and i only can say it that much but you should Watch this Anime. Tsurune isnt nearly as Popular as it needs to be it dosent do something crazy or mindblowing but the simple representation of Kyudo was good enough to make this Anime somewhat special. Tsurune is more on the Chill side of Things it dosent need some crazy action shots or super loud and hyped up characters because this Sport isnt made for those kind of things. But i need to add one more thing before ending this Review This Anime still left some Questions open for me which i obviously wont talk about here but i still have that Feeling that something is missing maybe the Upcomming Movie can answer those Questions for me.
