Ooooh, I'm excited about this :o Really curious about the start of Tomita Kentarou's career as it seems this is one of his first roles.

Can't really say anything about Gaju's seiyuu since this is only his second role and I haven't heard his voice but Mako's is a perfect fit. I was kinda hoping and half-expecting Sumire Morohoshi to voice Mako since she also voiced Yachi in HQ which is also by IG.

And that PV exceeded my expectations. It looks really good in motion, all those fluid small movements, all these catchy songs we've been getting from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN so far and thankfully the CG background characters don't really stand out which is great. It might look a bit awkward if you pause the PV and look at how long their necks are lol but I doubt anyone would really mind it when watching.

Yay! The Akagi siblings. I have a feeling this will be just 13 episodes season and we won't see the Queen who gets introduced so late in the story and takes it by storm!

Hoping this gets a 2 cour adaptation!

Holy Shit. I've been super excited for this already - but the PV is so good. Looking really nice in motion & the song is so catchy.

Gaju's Seiyuu seems to be a newcomer - but I think he did a good job in his previous role - so I'm looking forward to his new role.

2-cours or at least a split-cour please. Make it happen, I.G!

Fujita looks a bit too tall, but otherwise this seems incredibly promising. Hopefully, they are keeping the HBIC a secret, for now, and will surprise us. If not, then this better be a split cour anime because Fujita's best character trajectory comes with Chinatsu.

Yeah, the long necks is something I don't think I'll mind. I think besides that everything seems so pretty and fluid like you said.

If this ends up being a 2 cour i'm going to be so happy but I can only see 1 cour currently as we've only seen the Akagi siblings and not Chinatsu. Fingers crossed for 2 cour or split-cour!

I won't be bothered if we see Chinatsu or not tbh

I'm just happy Production IG is doing this <3

They're doing the OP. It's been featured in PV1, which you can find in the anime thread.

Wait, now that I've checked it again, I can't find anything confirming that it was the OP after all. Could've sworn I've seen some article stating it's the OP but now I can't find it. My mistake. x.x

Damn. That PV has really got me interested. This seems like an ambitious work, considering the rarity of such a work to begin with. This could potentially be really well-done, or end up like Yuri!!! on Ice and be a mild disappointment. Hopefully it's the former. It needs the two-cour treatment. fingers crossed

If they follow the source material to a tee, which is usually a signature of Production I.G.'s adaptations, this shall be quite a feat.

Are they going to create an anime original ending? As i understand it, the manga has been on hiatus for a while...

The manga has resumed again since January/February. If this does end up as a 2-cour, I'm expecting it to go a bit beyond the current chapters and completely caught up with the manga at the end of its run in order to finish up the current arc since that seems like a big arc with no good stopping point in-between.

I thought the same thing when I was reading it. I expected it to continue showing things like that but the story just improved over time. The anime, I expect will be good :3

I somewhat regret MAPPA didn't do this one, for the art at least.

That must have been this obligatory "MC must see female character in underwear to attract shonen readers at the start of the manga". True that when I see that, I automatically think it will be mediocre but the development of the story proved me wrong, above all with the 2 -3 last arcs. I wish the anime make it beyond the chapter 40 but it doesn't look like it :(

I am extremely glad that it's done by Production I.G. considering I have not managed to finish a single MAPPA anime since Sakamichi no Aporon.

but was is not the stories they chose or made that was the problem? I mean MAPPA is not a favorite of mine either but when it's about drawing beautiful athletic men and women, I think they are among the bests and they impressed me lately with their art in YoI and SnB virgin soul. I'm already not so sure about the character designs chosen for Ballroom e Youkoso, it doesn't come closed to the manga already but that was inevitable I guess, I would just have preferred something nearer to MAPPA's victor, charioce or azazel but well, it is just nit picking from me. And since the story is good and about sport, the studio wouldn't go completely wrong following closely the original material.

Still about the art, I wonder how they will manage the dresses. That can become a lot of work for the animators. Looking forward anyway.
