I don't usually get into sports anime, but this one was recommended to me and I agreed to watch the first three episodes just to check it out. I found myself unable to put it down and ended up watching the whole series in less than 3 days.
The story is one of the most amazing works I have ever seen. I found myself tearing up at several points, as well as at the end.
The dialogue is masterfully done, it really made the whole anime as good as it is.
The animation is very good, and unlike other series with excellent stories and dialogues, but bad animation that can bring the whole thing down, this one kept a high standard of quality.
