Haha I hope it's good too. It's an original so I have no way of guessing what's going to happen other than the synopsis. Looking forward to it because the only rugby anime I've seen is All Out!! and we don't talk about Try Knights.

That's my feeling although at least it isn't made by Seven. But still not looking bright.

Nobody is forcing you sports crazies to watch this.

@YoseiEgg All Out is good? I'm planning to watch it.

@Slasa33, @lkevsan, @ShockZz, @ttcchen, @papsoshea, @Ryuseishun

Minna, don't judge it immediately, it's anime original so we don't have any idea about it.. we should try watch it first!

@Shadow-Chan I agree, I'm sports crazies too though :D

Why does this art style reminds me of the atrocious show from Summer which is Try Knight? Like seriously they looks like characters come straight out from Try Knight.

I have VERY low expectation and would probably just give this show an one episode to see if it's meme worthy.

Honestly this will most likely end up sub-par as this studio has no experience in sports animation. Not saying what they have previously done is bad anime but it has been for the most part romcom harems
Will probably not come close to All Out's performance

I'm not too convinced by the PV and the promo image. With too convinced I mean that this won't be another All Out! if you ask me. Too lttle rugby shown and they use an American Football instead of a proper Rugby ball. You would think with the recent RWC held in Japan the studio would've known not to use the wrong ball.

I'll still try it though!

The lack of actual moving animation beyond lip flapping does not bode well for a sports anime. Seems to be going for the shounen ai bait without being explicitly gay.

Let's hope this is not another Try Knights. At least be on All Out's level, which is almost a 6. I don't get why they're butchering rugby so hard. They made successful anime on other sports, why can't they make a good one about rugby? Let's hope this will be good. Two pros and two cons:

• Character graphic design is better than both All Out and Try Knights.
• The kit... good points for the nearly traditional style contemporary teams could take example from.
• negative points for the dull colours which are inappropriate for sports which are supposed to be lively experience, especially sports as intense and physical as rugby.
•Too bad it's league and not union.

Since the first rugby anime I watched is All Out!, I tried to watch Try Knights and I finished it all and because of that it gave me PTSD and it kicked when this anime appeared. Based on the replies I think it's a skip for me.

Lmao everyone literally saying it's 'Try Knights' as if other sports animes don't exist.

Watch the first episode before judging. It's NOTHING like Try Knights. This is actually good. Not AMAZING, but it's not bad by any means so far.

Just because the promo art looks similar to 'Try Knights', doesn't mean JACK.

The reason this score so low is because MAL allows people who don't masturbate while thinking about this anime to review and give score to number24. MAL needs filter review function.

i wouldn't say that. after all, Slam Dunk, Haikyuu, Kuroko's Basketball...etc are all pretty good (and Yuri on Ice and King's Avatar (E-sports) if you wanna count it). rather it's all over for male FOOTBALL animes

hmm disagree with a few of those anime you mentioned. but it's okay to agree to disagree. i dont think knb is on the level of haikyuu. YOI is not really a sports anime, it's coming of age/drama. kings avatar is ehhhhhhhhhhhh.

i personally think ES21 is better than majority of sports anime and would put it on par with haikyuu. one punch man was very popular because of the artist who did es21, so it's possible es21 will become very popular like OPM since it has good art, action, solid characters and a completed story which is consistent from beginning to end. also likeable opponents too. it is a very all rounded sports manga that has little flaws and not unrealistic/supernatural like KNB.

After 3 episodes I can say this anime is less about rugby and more about Natsusa winding everyone around his little finger. He’s a monster and I love him for it. It’s definitely targeted towards people who like shounen ai and bishounen, so not a true sports anime like All Out but it’s infinitely better than Try Knights. While I’m not sure I’d call it “good” by traditional standards it’s definitely FUN and I look forward to it every week. Also Natsusa is one of my favorite MCs this season :)

I'm caught up to the recent episode like the above user.

Yeah, this anime is more about character building than the sport. It's actually surprisingly good. Great pacing for the 12-episode length. There's a lot of stuff being done in each episode and it's not dragging or laggy like other sports anime that take 10+ episodes just to form a team.
