Synopsis

Mai Otonashi, Rina Godai, Nozomi Mitaka, Sayuri Ichinose, and Nanase Nikaidou are all members of their high school's bowling club. The captain, Mai, can effortlessly land a "turkey"—three strikes in a row—yet her next delivery always ruins her game. Each girl struggles with the sport in her own way, but that never stops them from having fun.

However, amusement is not enough for Rina. As the newest member, she is furious about the others' disregard for their failures. After an argument, Rina decides to quit the club, but Mai refuses to let her leave. During a match to determine if Rina stays, a strange incident occurs after Mai's turkey: the girls are sent back in time!

The group discover that they have landed right into the middle of a battlefield in the Sengoku period. They soon realize that recreating the match between Mai and Rina is the key to returning home. As the girls decide to enjoy their time in the unfamiliar era, Mai must prepare to score a turkey when it matters the most.

10/10 anime do not skip out on this one! I’m so glad I didn’t skip this anime like I originally was about to nor did I drop it like it thought I should have during the second episode….. This anime was an amazing adventure it made me think and feel so much it might be just a anime about bowling but it’s definitely not… and all the twist and turns especially the one on the last episode were so good… it made me think back to why I watch anime in the first place it was a good reminder of what makes a masterpiece… it ...

Mixed Feelings
The story setup is fun: a school club of bowling girls gets sent back in time to the Sengoku period in the middle of a battlefield.

Scenarios played out are what you'd expect from a group in a time travel situation: bewilderment, shock, cultural shift, technological differences, and linguistic issues.
Watching the girls navigate a new, or rather old, world is entertaining as they try to cautiously avoid any actions that might affect the future.
Overall, the show is silly, yet it weaves in moments of reality that remind the characters and viewers where they are. Politics and morals contrast, and heads get chopped off, rolling around like ...
