Gabriel Campbell
It will look like shit as (almost) any MAPPA anime
Isaac Taylor
nice VA cast I guess
don't know what to expect from the title
some kind of gymnastics anime I guess.
Kevin Foster
This was probably planned to air during the Olympics abut bat flu happened

Guess we're in for more fujoshit as they continue to try to make another YoI
Ethan Reed
Another fujosport was supposed to air this season too but they postponed it to Jan 2021.
Kayden Perry
That sounds awfully familiar.

So I guess that after MAPPA killed Yuri on Ice with bad schedule and production practices, this is the replacement, uh?
Kevin Thompson
Nah it's more likely.
Asher Ross
My abema stream keeps lagging but the PV looks okay.

no faster way to rid me of any interest
Jackson Collins
The YoI movie was supposed to ride on the Olympics hype too, but we know how that went?
Benjamin Butler
Look fine I guess but I'm sick of sportshit.
Justin Evans
>MAPPA will have 3 anime this season if Olympics wasn't delayed
>MAPPA now has 3 anime next season since Olympics is delayed
It's still the same outcome.
Evan Clark

>Mappa Kaisen
>AoT supposedly still on schedule
I'm not sure about this.
Lincoln Torres
Well it's not by the Listeners team so that's a positive. This feels like one of those anime that were scheduled with the olympics in mind.
Asher White
Designs look much better than that other fagskate anime that was supposed to air. Would have been interesting to see them compete for fujo's attension.
Brody Roberts
Oh nice, looks like serious sport shit not just bait for the whales
Isaac Anderson
Let me guess, Avex and same production committee as Yuri On Ice? With MAPPA not on board, of course kek. They have become nu-Madhouse tier studio really fast.
