Approval: -
Another sports anime, this one about gymnastics, Ganbarist! Shun barely makes the grade in being a watchable anime. This manga-based anime revolves around Fujimaki Shun in a typical zero-to-gallant-hero fairytale as he joins his high school gymnastics club with an ambition of winning a gold medal in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Animation:
Average - nothing special to write home about. Tacky in places and a little dated even for the mid-90s.

Sound:
Besides some of the effects, the sound was below average. The OP and ED barely registered.

Story:
Ganbarist! doesn't really have anything compelling, original or realistic to tell in terms of its story and delivery. Poor direction and a lack of any meaningful build-up with respect to plot elements make for rather dull viewing. It could have been a lot better.

Furthermore, the anime, while offering something of a closure, does not climax with Fujimaki Shun going to the Olympics. It ends long before that.

Character:
The characters are very shallow in terms of development and lack dimension. The protagonist is rarely challenged and the attempts at romance and humour fall flat. The poor script + direction and some pointless pantsu shots didn't help.

Value:
Gaining some knowledge about gymnastics and getting a couple of mild adrenalin rushes in spots are about all one can gain from this anime. Sports anime fans can probably watch this once.

Enjoyment:
It was barely watchable with a couple of good episodes and for someone who didn't know much about gymnastics, an interesting subject.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. *+
· castno description set
· · stereotypesThis show presents stereotypes, which are generalizations about a group of people. Examples would be saying that people from a certain country or with a certain hair color are stupid. If the show deals with comedy, the stereotypes are likely to be played on for laughs; if the show is a parody, the stereotypes will be exaggerated to have their flaws exposed and may be used as a form of social commentary. *+
· plot continuityConsistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer. A single linear focused plot is highly continuous. A truly random plot is highly discontinuous. **
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. *
· · · horny nosebleedIn Japanese media, healthy young men who have no other sexual outlet will often suffer nosebleeds upon seeing the naked female body, or even just a pair of well-filled panties. weightless
· · · violent retribution for accidental infringementA comedy / slapstick element often found in Ecchi anime: The hilarity derives from spontaneous embarrassment, overreaction of the "victim" (girl), immediate retribution for a seemingly inappropriate act, and a sense of pity with the supposed "aggressor" (boy). +
· ecchiEcchi, or etchi (エッチ), is a common Japanese word meaning "indecent", "lewd", "frisky" or "sexy"; its usage can be compared to the English word "naughty". Among western anime fans, the term is used when vague sexual content, such as skimpy clothing or nudity, is prominent. In Japanese, however, it is a catch-all term for all things anyhow sexual in nature, mild or otherwise. *
· · pantsu"Panties" in Japanese. Upskirt views in various positions are typical, however all forms of partial or fully exposed panties are accepted. Exposure is usually accidental, but may also be deliberate. Pantsu views may be exclusive to the viewer without impacting any characters. Bikinis are not pantsu. *
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. **
· · · AsiaAsia is Earth`s largest and most populous continent. Asia covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. **
· · · · JapanJapan is a sovereign island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies off the eastern coast of the Asian mainland and stretches from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and China in the southwest. **
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · presentSomewhere between past and future. **
· shounenIn the context of manga and associated media, shounen, literally meaning "youth" and often also specifically "boy", refers to a male audience roughly between the ages of 10 and 18. weightless
· alcoholAlcohol (or more scientifically, ethanol), is one of the world`s oldest psychoactive substances. It is traditionally found in the form of a beverage such as beer, wine, or liquor, although in some contexts it can be inhaled to produce similar or intoxication, and some people prefer another way of consuming beverage-form alcohol. *
· coming of ageIn the strict sense the Coming of age describes a young person`s transition from adolescence to adulthood. In anime the term is used in a more general sense where the protagonists have to face a challenge, make an important decision in their life, take on responsibility, or learn a lesson, and by overcoming these obstacles they reach a higher level of maturity. *
· daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person. *
· friendshipThe feeling of trust, kindness, and friendship between a group of high school students for example, is a central theme of this anime. *+
· school lifeSince a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important.
· · high schoolA secondary school that usually contains grades 10 through 12 in Japan, or 9 through 12 in America. *+
· · school clubsEven though school clubs in Japan are not mandatory, there is some pressure from the social grid (e.g. fellow students, teachers) to participate in some kind of after-school activity, be it in sports or arts.

· · gymnasticsA competitive sport in which this character performs optional and prescribed acrobatic feats mostly on special apparatus in order to demonstrate strength, balance, and body control. ***
· · OlympicsThe modern Olympic Games or Olympics are the leading international sporting event, featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions, with more than 200 teams representing sovereign states and territories participating in them. The Olympic Games are normally held every four years; since 1994, they have alternated between the Summer and Winter Olympics every two years during the four-year period. *
