Episode 1

We Don't Need Aces (エースなんて必要ないの)) is the first episode of the Harukana Receive anime.

Overview
Haruka Ozora travels to Okinawa to live with her cousin, Kanata Higa, and their grandmother. While exploring the beach, Haruka comes across Narumi Toi and Ayasa Tachibana practicing beach volleyball. Taking offense to an offhand comment from Haruka about being a future ace, Narumi challenges the two of them to score a single point against her and Ayasa. Although Haruka ends up losing, she learns the meaning behind Narumi's words, as beach volleyball requires full coordination with your partner. Haruka becomes excited to learn more about beach volleyball more after learning that Narumi and Ayasa are both high school champions.
