   What a weird way to spell "I have terrible taste and no knowledge of what makes good fight choreography."

     @literalgrill I'm glad you enjoyed it.

     I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would going into it.

     The fights feel ... technically proficient? Competent? Well drawn?

     I just struggled to actually enjoy them. Maybe I was focusing on the wrong things? Sometimes hearing from people who liked something or some aspect of something helps me clarify or reconsider my feelings

     @literalgrill Keijo is a wild show. I loved they took the premise seriously and just went with it. I can't think about the show and keep a straight face. 😆

     The homage paid to other anime is just chef's kiss. Also, some of the fight scenes had amazing animation and sound design.

     @literalgrill @WheelerPupper I'm glad my take made sense. I was concerned about being negative on a post about a show you enjoyed

     The intersection of fanservice for male audiences, well drawn fights, and serious sports anime should have put this in my top 10

     Instead i ended up watching it to say i had, feeling deeply unserviced by their fanservice, and annoyed by the flat cast. Tooooo many new girls/episode

     Keijo ends up being is about as sexy (and as serious) as Olympic beach volleyball.

     @NaClKnight @literalgrill see, this is a more well-thought out response than "the worst", even if you didn't like it!

     @WheelerPupper @NaClKnight Exactly! There are valid reasons not to like the show (heck, the fanservice is enough to turn some away alone). But it feels odd to say it's the worst fighting anime ever or whatnot. I know I've seen some REAL stinkers that don't always manage technically proficient.

     @literalgrill @WheelerPupper I wholeheartedly agree that they're not bad anime fights. I've watched plenty of lifeless, unexciting anime battles. That's like the least of Keijo's problems.
