 TV Tokyo opened an official website on Tuesday, announcing a television anime adaptation of Hajime Musashino's Shakunetsu Kabaddi (Burning Kabaddi) manga. The website also revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and promo.Synopsis First-year high schooler Tatsuya Yoigoshi, the former ace of a junior high school soccer team who has come to dislike sports, receives an invitation to join the Kabaddi club. Initially mocking the idea of Kabaddi, he takes an interest after watching an intense competition akin to martial arts at a practice session. Musashino began the sports manga on Shogakukan's Ura Sunday web magazine and MangaONE application in December 2015. The 13th volume was shipped on February 12, with the 14th volume set to be released on July 10. Shakunetsu Kabaddi ranked among the top 20 manga in the male readers' division in the 2017 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings.

| Interestingly, Kabbadi is the national sport of my country (Bangladesh) so curiosity alone has won me over on this lol. Sealing a place in the Males Category in Kono Manga ga Sugoi 2017 is another hook though so here's to hoping this'll deliver. |

| Oh boy another sports anime, gotta set a reminder so I can make sure to miss this one. |

| LMAO, literally the last sport I'd ever expect to get an anime. NG_Chloe said: Nah, it's literally in a single breath. Players repeatedly say "kabaddi" without any break to let the referee know that it's being done in a single breath. Wikipedia said it had to be done in a single breath, which I guess means it's supposed to be done quickly as opposed to literally a single breath. |

| They should do a dub in Hindi and Tamil for this show since Kabaddi is a game of South Indian origin and played even in rural areas of India. I bet it'll be super popular. |

NG_Chloe said: Being good at it definitely requires a lot of training, but by simply playing it more and more, they'd slowly get better at it. Back in the old days in South Asian countries, villagers would play kabaddi as a method of physical training and improving reflexes.

Yeah... clearly I was wrong, lol. Same here xD, you can never predict what this industry is up to. Chio-chan's Kabaddi was more like a prototype version though so it'll be interesting to see how this game actually works with the correct number of players across each time and whatnot. @Niansuh Our fathers are going to change gears immediately and be proud of us for watching anime from now on, lol. |

| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabaddi Very interesting indeed. I am always up for something new and seeing it's originating in the Indian subcontinent and now being played in Europe sounds interesting. There are some YT clips. Looks like it's a rough sports. What are the going to make an anime about next? Cricket? That's another sport popular in the Indian Subcontinent, Australia and some parts of Europe. |

zenimegi said: Oh damn Kabaddi is relevant in Japan? Looks like my dream of having a cricket based anime next isn't as far-fetched as I once thought. Well, Captain Tsubasa and Slam Dunk changed Japan's sports scene after they were animated. This might do that as well considering the manga is actually ranked. And yeah, I thought the chance of Cricket too. I think they have a shorter version now that appeals to Japan. |

| i wouldn't even know what kabaddi is, if it wasn't for "chio-chan no Tsuugakuro". i assumed it was almost irrelevant outside of india, so i'm pretty surprised there's actually a manga about it. the art looks pretty good too. |
zenimegi said: Oh damn Kabaddi is relevant in Japan? Looks like my dream of having a cricket based anime next isn't as far-fetched as I once thought. Japanese team actually was 3rd on the Kabaddi world cup once. And I saw it used in a couple of animes before. |

| Wow, only 79 members. Is the manga translated? |

 Of course you play the sport like your life is on the edge and you need to break ironclad chains to escape! Haha! Sports manga sure are something else! Gotta love them! Anyways, skimming through the first volume, I have to say it is indeed quite an intensive manga. It's understandable why it has been ranked in Kono Manga ga Sugoi! Dunno if it will be either of the two but maybe Production I.G./MADHOUSE will be able to animate all the moves and intense moments of the manga panels? |

| A few minutes ago I didn't even know kabaddi was a thing, but now I'm looking forward to this. |

| As a Punjabi I am so hyped for this, since my people dominate this sport GoldenDevilGamer said: I remember Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro having a kabaddi reference and I thought to myself that this will be the only time I'll ever hear this sport be mentioned in an anime. Yeah... clearly I was wrong, lol. In Full metal Panic Fumoffu, they had a scene where students were playing Kabaddi at school. |

| Huh, guess I'd never heard of it because there's no translation. Looks like something to check out for sure. |

| Kabaddi is the national sport of our country Bangladesh, to think there would be an anime about kabaddi really makes me happy. I will definitely give it a watch. |

| An anime about Kabaddi? Count me in. |
 |
| I had been wanting to read this manga for quite some time but it was untranslated, so glad that it's getting an anime. |
 |
| Chio-chan's senpai(chio-chan no tsuugakuro) and yamazaki(gintama) gonna be happy that their favorite sport got an anime. Haryana dominates it more than punjabis. |
 |
| That sport I only know about thanks to showing up in manga. Feels like fate that there's now gonna be an anime about it. |
 |
| Kabadi, Kabadi, Kabadi sure bring back a lot of memories lol used to play it with school mates I guess it's more fun playing than watching it. |
| कबड्डी कबड्डी कबड्डी ! Now that's what I will be seeing upto . This game was founded in my state "Maharashtra " |

| A anime I can get hyped for and not get dissapointed. I don't watch sports anime but this one will be an exception. कबड्डी कबड्डी कबड्डी ! |

| No fucking way! A manga based on our national sport? Now this is a news to me! Man not even once i thought we would get an series about Kabaddi, let alone an adaptation of it. |

| Was never interested in Kabaddi, despite it being originated in my country. But this anime has my attention. |

| Damn! I never thought there would be an anime adaptation of a manga based on an Indian (my country) sport! I dont really watch sports anime but definitely gonna watch this. I think it will be really interesting, cosidering the way its played in real. zenimegi said: shanimebib said: Well, Captain Tsubasa and Slam Dunk changed Japan's sports scene after they were animated. This might do that as well considering the manga is actually ranked. And yeah, I thought the chance of Cricket too. I think they have a shorter version now that appeals to Japan. Interesting indeed. Being from the Indian subcontinent, I'm a huge fan of Cricket. I was following Japan's U-19 cricket team in the recent cricket world cup too. There's a good chance the sport will blow up in Japan and as a result we'll start getting manga based on cricket. Would be terrific! Well imo i think a cricket anime will be a very tough task if Anime Industry ever thinks of making it (though i dont think it will happen tbh due to many prejudices surrounding the sport). On techincal front, Cricket overall is a very hard sport to follow. Being a fellow veteran cricket fan, u know how much knowledge of the game u should have to actaually enjoy it to the fullest. T20 cricket might be a bit easy to follow but still, anime adaptation of cricket is a big stretch. |

| I became a kabaddi lover after I watched and read chio-chan no tsuugakuro. This should be insanely good. PTW |
    |
| I am glad that recently we have received more and more sports anime, but I am confused by the reason for this. Is the industry in such a zealous search for new ideas that we get a bunch of new anime and remakes in almost every genre? Hell, this is the first time I have seen that we get several BL hentai at once for several years. Catalano said: I became a kabaddi lover after I watched and read chio-chan no tsuugakuro.
