Battle Athletess Daiundoukai ReSTART!

As technology advanced, humanity gradually colonized the entire solar system, occupying planetary facilities from Mercury to Pluto. This results in a large-scale athletic tournament, the "Daiundoukai," where several aspiring female athletes from all around the solar system compete. The winner of the tournament is crowned the "Cosmo Beauty," obtaining a queenlike status. When outgoing potato farmer Kanata Akehoshi was a child, she witnessed a meteor-like object falling from the sky, crashing in a nearby forest. When she came to investigate the wreckage, she saw a damaged spaceship and a girl who seemed to have been in it weakened by the impact. The girl gave Kanata two wristbands, alongside a request that Kanata join the Daiundoukai and become the Cosmo Beauty. Kanata obliged, but before she could ask for the girl's name, she mysteriously disappeared—leaving nothing,not even the crater caused by the crash. Since then, Kanata has devoted herself to training, aiming to fulfill her promise. After winning the qualifying round to represent the planet Earth, Kanata goes to the University Satellite—an institution where she and other candidates study to prepare themselves for the upcoming competition. There, she meets and befriends her fellow competitors, helping them get along with each other to perform better in the games. As Kanata grows closer to the coveted title, so do her chances of meeting the girl who changed her fate—and she discovers an underlying mystery behind the Daiundoukai along the way.

The words to describe this anime is mediocre and messed up. First of all, am I the only one who noticed the very Cardcaptor Sakura like sequence in the OP? The running and wings and flying? And second, this is seriously reminding me of Kanata no Astra. The storyline is confused. Not confusing, CONFUSED. They took the time to put in some major issues, conflict and even all powerful villains, but it's as if they didn't know what to really persue, so they put in a bit of everything, which would wonderfully be solved by the power of FRIENDSHIP. UGH. I'm not saying I don't like friendship. I'm sayingthat Kanata (yes her name is Kanata - AGAIN, Kanata no Astra) is this horribly sunny character with no darkness at all in her. I mean we see the mould all the time - Naruto, Natsu,Emilico - but they work because they have depth and darkness. This girl....by GOD, her only job is to be a goof, be universally loved and save the world. its so sunny it makes you kinda sick of it. And the whole Cosmo Beauty thing. It had SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!! They gave like a 2 minute explanation and that was that!!! Damn that could have redeemed the entire anime. Anything could have redeemed the anime if it had stuck to it, actually. If you're planning on watching this, go ahead. If you're unsure, give it a miss.There are better stuff out there.
