Stage play
[edit]A stage play of the series performed by the idol group AKB48 ran at the Sunshine Theatre in Tokyo from February 17 to February 20, 2022.[49]
Reception
[edit]Previews
[edit]The anime series' first episode garnered mixed reviews from Anime News Network's staff during the Fall 2020 season previews. James Beckett was critical of the lack of excitement in the subject of rock climbing, characters with "functional" personalities and "terribly cheap" animation that fails to display the girls' athleticism. Nicholas Dupree commended the premiere for being "a decent ambassador" that covers its subject matter and narrative points serviceably well, but criticized Jun and Konomi's character writing and the "below average" production quality for having unappealing climbing visuals. Theron Martin and Rebecca Silverman gave similar praise to Konomi's puzzle game approach to the sport and the muscular designs of the girls' physique, with the former pointing out the "disappointingly limited" animation and "suggestive" camera angles in the rock climbing scenes and the latter being critical of Jun's unwelcoming presence. The fifth reviewer, Caitlin Moore, was critical of the use of "leering camera angles" during the climbing scenes and the characters of Konomi and Jun stretching credibility in their approach to the sport, but felt immediately hooked into the subject matter it displayed, concluding that: "Iwa-Kakeru! -Sport Climbing Girls- isn't particularly great and I doubt it'll have staying power of any kind, but it scratches a very specific itch I've had for a while."[50]
Series
[edit]Moore reviewed the complete anime series in 2021 and gave it a C+ grade.[51] While commending the vast information about rock climbing throughout the episodes and the production having "bright candy-colors and consistently on-model animation", she criticized the "suspension of disbelief" and lack of "realistic safety measures" during the rock climbing scenes, the annoyance of the secondary characters and the "fan service-driven storyboarding" that diminished the girls' athletic abilities, concluding that: "Iwa-Kakeru! is a perfectly middling anime, with a sport I enjoyed learning about, decent production values, a main cast I have no strong feelings about whatsoever, and a secondary cast that I wouldn't mind seeing cast into a pit of acid. It was made to capture a moment, but is doomed to be forgotten before that moment comes to pass, if it ever does at all."[51]
