This was a surprisingly good anime about a group of girls who overcome obstacles to form a cheer club at their new high school. That over half of the team has no experience with cheer leading at all, does not stop them. It is not easy going, and they have to preserver, and yet still have fun. this is the central theme of the show, stick to your goals, don't give up, and fight, fight fight win. Way so much fun, it is awesome. The one thing that is really cool, is the way they interpret cheer, it is not, like in the USA where the cheerleaders are elitist snobs only interested in the ball teams. These girls, cheer the Manga Research Club, the perform at various town festivals, and even cheer (up) a student who is having problems studying. When they enter a competition, they realize, it is the…

Anima Yell! is a series that pleasantly surprised me in many ways. Initially, I wasn't sure if I'd connect with an anime centered around cheerleading, but it quickly won me over with its charm and humor. The show strikes a perfect balance between being lighthearted and genuinely engaging, making it easy to get invested in the characters and their journey. What started as a curiosity became one of the highlights of my anime season.
The story follows Kohane, a cheerful and slightly clumsy girl, as she discovers her passion for cheerleading. Along the way, she forms friendships with other girls, each with their own unique personalities. The dynamic between the characters is a major strength of the series, and their interactions often lead to both heartwarming and hilarious moments. The show…

Such a cute anime! Short enough to be consumed in a single day. Also has quite a few lesbian undertones, if you're looking for something with wlw themes.
Story: 5/10
As is customary for slice of life shows, there isn't really a story present. The show mostly just follows the girls through various cheerleading requests with little tying them together. Still, not having to follow a story lends well to this type of show because you get to just turn your brain off and watch cute anime girls do cute anime girl things.
Art: 7/10
Very typical anime art style, but it's cute and colourful which suits the show well! It's very pleasant to look at.
Sound: 8/10
I love cheerleading music so much. It's always so upbeat. The rest of the sound has a very bubbly feel, which really suits the feel of the s…

This is just an idol anime with extra steps. I was honestly certain they would find a way to have them end up practicing on the rooftop because there were no other rooms in the school and that the big cheer competition was going to be the catalyst for saving their school from closing due to declining birthrates. There's nothing bad about that, I enjoyed Love Live and the like, I just think it's funny to make the comparison.
Cheerleading is something I've never understood very well, perhaps because I'm not a woman or perhaps because I've never played a competitive sport that had them. This anime helped me gain a little bit more of an appreciation for the role Cheer can have in that environment, due in large part to the enthusiasm of the protagonist girl. The Japanese or at least the anime…

(This review may contain spoilers. Please don't read this until you've finished watching the series.)
For those who've checked out what I'm into, I'm a big Precure fan and one of the seasons I've watched is the legendary Hugtto Precure. The main character for that show is designed with the cheerleader motif in mind and would become one of my favorite characters.
So, when I saw another show that's ALL about Cheerleading, I'm all for it. And wow, I was not expecting this.
Anima Yell looks like just another slice of life anime to the average viewer, but personally, this anime was great! For once, an anime that I was pumped up for until the very end, haven't had that feeling in a long time.
Story: 9/10
The story of Anima Yell is quite basic and in typical slice of life fashion. Our prota…

If you just want to watch an anime about cute girls doing cute things, Anima Yell would be perfect for you. This series is essentially YuruYuri but with cheer outfits on. For anyone looking for a series to get deeply invested in, you may be a little disappointed. Personally, I love these kinds of series but Anima Yell fell flat for me for a few reasons.
1. The series is insanely trope driven, especially in terms of the types of characters included and how they’re developed (which isn’t much development at all compared to other sports series).
2. The plot is a little all over the place in terms of the overall goal the girls want to achieve. First, it was to cheer people on. After, it’s just to have fun. Then, it’s to cheer in a large competition (while having mediocre skills) just to prove…

Kohane Hatoya can never do anything for herself, I'm saying this in a negative sense though. Kohane has always loved to help others out, the byproduct of that mindset is that she never strives to do things for herself. That all changed shortly before her start of high school upon seeing a middle school cheerleading team in action. Unfortunately, her new school doesn't have a cheer team, naturally this doesn't stop her from attempting to create her own. Her first task is to of course gather up some teammates, and what better person to start asking for help then one of the cheerleaders that was on the very same team that inspired her in the first place. A surprisingly good moe comedy awaits you, ready to cheer you up in more ways than one!
There were a number of cute girls doing cute things…

This series has a charm that few have, and that is how to make a cheerleading anime entertaining and good, the protagonist is one of the funniest and most beautiful I've seen, the rest of the characters also have their interesting and entertaining moments, In itself it has much more comedy than anything else and there are moments where the yuri appears but in very mild ways, as to what the series really goes, which is the desire to be a cheerleader to be happy etc, many of his acts visually felt uncomfortable since only background music was heard while they danced, * for those of us who watched the series, they certainly felt the same * maybe it is the only point against a series that does not seek to offer more than just and necessary entertainment

I was really excited for Anima Yell before the season began. A slice of life/comedy about cheerleading? I’m all in, that’s something that hasn’t really been done in anime. Now that I’ve finished it, I can safely say that my excitement kind of paid off. While it wasn’t anything spectacular, it still hit all the beats of a good slice of life anime. There’s nothing to really dislike about it, but there’s nothing there to make you want to sing praise for it either. The characters were all likable, their designs were cute, their interactions were fun and enjoyable, and they all fit specific character archetypes, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. On one end, you’ve seen these types of characters again and again in other slice of life anime. At the same time, it’s not li…

Occasionally you start to wonder whether everything that comes out today is just a rehash of something older, and to some degree, this is true. Most ideas that exist have already been used in the past, so for shows to break the mold they either have to do something very well, or do something niche enough to where people don't notice it as much. Anima Yell follows the latter by using cheerleading as the focus point, something I'm sure many of you haven't seen much of before. However, is a niche idea enough to make it stand out? Let's take a look.
The first thing you'll notice when watching Anima Yell is the obvious enthusiasm coming from the girls as they passionately cheer (or chair as they like to pronounce it) on. This energy level keeps the entire show fun and cheerful for the most par…

Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching Anima Yell and while care has been taken to minimize story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned.
Based off a popular manga of the same name Anima yell is a comedy, sports and school genre based anime that gives us the opportunity to see what will happen if a girl who loves to be helpful and caring towards others were to come across an activity and sport that would not just allow her to improve the way in which she can help and support others but also do so in the company of like-minded individuals who share her passion for wanting to help and motivate others through their actions as cheerleaders. The subject matter of cheerleading has always been a r…

Once again, another 4-koma CGDCT adaptation action, but this time, we're off to "chair"...er I mean, cheerleading!
We all know the deal with high school girls, especially when they move on from middle school, and the big deal with Year 1s are always with enrollment...and of course, mandatory clubs to join for their years of high school life. Well, not with one person by the name of shortie Hatoya Kohane, whom by the sight of cheerleading, mentions: "I found something I wanna do, and that is called...CHAIR!" Her childhood friend Uki Sawatari finds it a joke..."Chair" (literally)?
Eventually, this act of kindness (from Kohane) forwards that joke up to experienced-but-frightening Hizume Arima, their own homeroom teacher Inukai (whom she obliges), shy-with-stage-fright(ened) Kotetsu Tatejim…

Anime almost feels like a religion sometimes. Anyone who is a faithful follower will recognize that the concept of CGDCT (“Cute Girls Doing Cute Things”) always has a spot in every season. It’s 2018 and we had series like Yuru Camp that expressed the joy of comfy camping, Comic Girls to showcase the concept of manga crafting, and even Harukana Receive about beach volleyball with sexy sporty girls doing athletic things. Manga Time Kirara seems to never run out of ideas and their family of magazines will probably never disappear in our time. Before I die, Anima Yell is another show that I checked off the bucket list that I didn’t regret.
Anyone familiar with Doga Kobo will easily know their talent that usually adhere to schoolgirls and slice of life. Anima Yell doesn’t derive far from their…
