Synopsis
Video games, especially puzzle games, were always at the center of Konomi Kasahara's life. However, upon entering Hanamiya High School, she decides to break away from this lifestyle. As Konomi wanders the halls in search of a new activity to engage herself in, she stumbles upon a gigantic wall owned by the school's rock climbing team. Fascinated, she attempts to scale the wall, discovering that she can use her puzzle-solving skills to help her reach the top. Certain that she has found her calling, Konomi immediately joins the club. As she strives to improve her climbing skills, Konomi, alongside the rest of the Hanamiya Climbing Team, will learn what it truly means to be a "sports climber" and work to achieve victory in the upcoming competitions.

Marinate1016★ 10Iwa Kakeru! was easily one of my favourite shows this season. It's actually the first sports anime I've ever seen, and I was not disappointed at all. From the characters' designs, interactions to the actual sport of climbing itself, everything was great for me. Who should watch this show? People who are into CGDCT, people who are curious about climbing or enjoy outdoor activities in general. If you're coming here expecting something to blow you away narratively, you're going to be disappointed. The scale of the show is small and rather self-contained. It's not too ambitious in anything it does, at least in this firstseason. We follow Konomi on her journey of self-improvement and developing her climbing skills in various competitions. One of the coolest parts of the show is the fact the we actually learn about competitive climbing as a sport, its rules, objectives and team dynamics. As much as I loved Konomi, Jun and the rest of the girls, I loved the educational aspect just as much. I really enjoyed the OST of the show as well. I feel that's something that often gets overlooked with seasonals, but it can add a lot to the overall experience. For me, Iwa Kakeru! was one of the best parts of my weekend and I will definitely miss it, here's to hoping for a season 2. Iwa Kakeru gets 10 clears out of 10 from me.
jaula_3123★ 6As a rock climber, I can say that this anime was slightly unrealistic. For starters, the protagonist progressed much faster than any normal beginner. I mean cmon, she was leading on her first day and climbing 5.11. That usually doesn't happen unless the climber had prior sports experience. Also, this anime was overly sexualized. I was exited to finally see a female sports anime featuring my own sport, and was disappointed when I saw how much they gave into fan service. Nevertheless, the story line was ok even though it was a bit rushed, so I'd say 5-6 out of 10.
