Kazuki Akane, who directed ‘Escaflowne’, ‘Noein’, and ‘Birdy the Mighty: Decode, is the director of ‘Hoshiai no Sora’. It’s impossible not to get caught into the show once you hear the theme song and see the opening sequence. In addition, the soundtracks perfectly match the show’s sports drama tone.
Although the idea is very generic and takes place in a typical high school, the main drivers of the overall plot are the people. “Prince of Tennis” is the only anime I can recall from my childhood that focused on tennis. It’s refreshing to see an anime focused on a sport other than basketball or volleyball as the main focus. Such events aren’t just for sports fans, but they’re also a great source of inspiration for everyone who enjoys a good story about an underdog. ‘Hoshiai no Sora’, on the other hand, is a must-watch. Since its first season has ended, you must be wondering if it will return for a second season, right? Everything you need to know about it may be found here.
