I have to admit it's pretty good, but sadly I have to disagree about animation. It is very bare-bones and lackluster. You can tell they do everything they can to avoid animating and when they do it's very basic and repeats a lot. Sure it has few better moments, but they're very rare and don't really compensate for how poor animation is overall. Honesty if anything anime made me want to read manga over it, because the quality of drawing there is actually pretty good. Nowhere near Teppu level (rest in peace), but still way better than your average mango.
In my mind I was comparing it to Farewell my Dear Cramer, so I do believe that Mou Ippon is a major step up in terms of animation, haha. Then again, what isn't?! I personally don't mind long panning shots and limited animation in non-crucial scenes, I'd rather have that than weird melty animation that's a bit more dynamic.
Of course, the best would be to have neither of those flaws, but, well. That never happens.
We do agree that Nagumo is very gay though!
About MagiRevo, I was also annoyed by the situation in the latest episode, but although I haven't read the LN or WN, I'm fairly confident a better solution will magically appear. This seems to call for a Deus Ex Machina of some sort.
