I started my rope journey with a roll of Ogawa and continued with a roll of Nawaya. Ogawa was a bit too loose for my taste and required a lot of care. I like Nawaya better but it's expensive and a bit harder to break in. I bought this roll to give it a try as it is advertised as something in between the two other ropes.
The Anatomie rope seems of good quality. Smell-wise, the chemical smell is quite strong when not treated but will go away eventually.
The main reason for my 2-stars rating is that the rope is way too thick. About 6.6mm ± 0.1mm (measured with a caliper) whereas it is advertised as 6.0mm. It makes a huge difference and makes this rope unusable for me. After some use and tensioning, the rope doesn't really get much thinner.
Note that Ogawa also comes slightly thicker than advertised but it gets quickly thinner with use and tension. From my experience, Nawaya is the only rope that is precisely the advertised thickness, and it also gets a bit thinner after being used with tension (0.2-0.3mm)
Hope it helps!
