New anime: Sorairo Utility
Female characters doings sports but more for fun already sounds like a good premise to me. The setup is kind of simple but the main character is likable with her nerdiness, and I like to actually see a variety of characters such as older ones. There were some funny moments, too.
Also, I might have found this anime season’s anime where Yuri is teased but never actually happening… As long as I’m aware that’s fine I guess.
After the second episode I had to look up if anyone who worked on Sorairo Utility was involved with Yuru Camp. The style of the opening seemed really similar, and then there was that golf ball which said “hello” like pine cones sometimes do in Yuru Camp. Not to mention the idea of cute girls enjoying a hobby that seems and old-people-thing. I guess they just got inspired by it the way Mecha-Ude was inspired by the mecha shows of studio Trigger.
Speaking of that, I found that the director has been working for (or with) Studio Trigger doing key animation for episodes in most of their series. And the original creator is the same as for Inou-Battle, which probably nobody remembers but was a slice of life anime from the early days of Trigger.
