| Yoigoshi is such a great main character, cant wait to see more of him. Surprised Bakugo Katsuki's character is the actual team captain, like, what, when has a character with his type ever been the captain in a sports show?! Going to be funny to see, curious what quirk he has. Also wheres our Streamer anime, need, Yoigoshi being so concerned about his streaming life was incredible. Also most stylish OP of the season thus far. |

| This was really awesome. Textbook chapter on how to start an anime. Great pacing, exciting, nice characters, banger songs, fluent animation and a lot of hype. Another anime I can feel as football matches. But now literally. 8/10 to start |

I didn't expect this to be good, but good lord, it's almost fascinating just for how badly put together it is. The main character is a misanthropic streamer who's also a famous former soccer player. He is desired by all the sports clubs and constantly being harassed to join them and always says no, but is terrified that people find out he streams, AND immediately jumps to any and all taunts. He's also bribed by the dude creating a handful of fake accounts because this will be how he hits the big time. It's like both they know nothing about the internet, nor expect their audience to know anything about it either. The idiocy carries over to the bits where they're playing kabaddi too. They go to this big explanation of how you need to tag someone and then quickly run away, which is followed by demonstrating it. The demonstration has STRUGGLE blasted across screen, then the guys tagged simply stand there and declare "Oh, we're in struggle now. We are now supposed to stop him from getting back to his side." I'm serious. They just stand there and re-explain the rules of the game to each other. This thing happens over and over. It's possible the creators don't really understand the game either and just glommed onto "STRUGGLE" as something they could slap on screen in a still before calling it a day. |
| At least the enthusiastic short guy is a side character instead of the main for once. |
| As someone who watches actual Kabaddi this show is quite goofy, but it's still quite enjoyable when it tries. I'm never not going to laugh when the "sTruGGle" thing shows up tho. |
| I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to type here. *imitates an old man* "Back in my day, we used to write our names fancy when they asked our signature!" |

You are spitting straight facts but I just found that funny. I definitely don't think it was intended to be funny but I could enjoy the episode in like an ironic way, if that makes sense. |

| that was a good first ep !! they introduced the characters well, explained the sport we're gonna be seeing for the next 11 eps rly well too, and we have a rough idea on what the matches are gonna be like. animation could be better in some parts but its pretty good overall |
| Damn, that was great! This will be my first sports anime! And it is fucking Kabaddi! I really wish someone would have licensed this anime for India, not even Muse Asia is doing it. sad... Its easier to remember the names in the anime, I've read only 4 chapters of the manga lol. |

JohanJ04 said: PongoBeast said: Where did you people find this anime. My usual websites dont have it (yet) and i dont want to wait It's on Crunchyroll worldwide except for the Asian region. And Southern Asia is where this sport is from! This would have been a great chance to market Anime in India, Pak, Bangladesh, etc. But no! |

| It was an interesting episode. Especially since it was very nostalgic as I used to play Kabaddi a lot in school. XD. I couldn't help but notice how they pronounced "kabadi, kabadi". We pronounced it more frequently and the "dd" was stretched a lot more than what they say in anime. Hehe, just relating it personally that's all. No hard fast rule on the pronunciation. Felt that the players' faces got a bit weird in the middle. Budget issues? Maybe Idk. Overall, glad that Kabaddi is coming out there and people will get to know more about it. Very much interested in the upcoming episodes! |
Hivoldep42 said: As I know kabaddi, the reason being it is widely played here in India, so the anime was just so nostalgic in a sense, great explanations, and a good first match/practice, good op, and a great ed, excited Ikr. It was very nostalgic. I feel like as the anime progresses, I'll be flooded with more and more flashbacks from my past. I find myself relating to every moment almost. Remember when a new guy comes in the circle and plays for the first time? Haha. Felt the same when I saw Yoigoshi play for the first time. Good times. |
| Pretty good start, and for someone like me who don't know shit about Kabaddi besides the name, they did a pretty good job explaining the rules and stuff. Yoigoshi is a pretty funny dude lmao, I feel like he's gonna be a great mc, he's also gonna become a Godly streamer. |

| Not really interested in the sport but you can feel they're trying their best make you keep on watching. |

| I thought the first episode was okay, I gave it a 5/10. The characters were average, but I did like Tatsuya and Souma. Tatsuya because he played soccer and Souma because of his work ethic. I'll probably continue watching the anime, but the upcoming episodes need to be better if I want to stay until the end. Besides, I still don't understand the sport, kind of like how I didn't understand Hanebado's badminton at first. At least, I instantly liked the ending theme. |
| Really a wonderful episode. 5/5 for me. The characters gave me a bit of Haikyu vibe. The animation was also good. |
| Gosh this is such a retarded sport, I can't believe they thought it was a good idea to adapt this shit. |
| :3 |
| I had no expectations, but I loved this episode; I already like Yoigoshi. |

Instead of bashing this sports anime that clearly will not be for everyone's cup of tea, there's the option to drop quietly. Plus, there's no such thing as a retarded sport. And don't you dare say chess is another example of it! ๐ All sports are retarded to be honest, if that makes you feel any better, that's how I feel at least. Kabaddi just takes the cake for how dumb it is. There's also the option where I leave a forum post where I share what I felt after watching this. |

I've actually known about this manga's existence for a few years now, which to be fair, is a longer time than you've even been an anime fan tbh. The only context where I enjoyed this "sport" was where it was basically mocked in the Chio-chan manga, since it was used for a comedic effect type of thing. |

| The voice cast being amazing coupled with the fact it's a sports series made this a must try for me. And so far, I like it a lot just going by this first episode. Simple explanation of the rules, easy to get into, distinct characters. Will be interesting to see more advance plays through the show. Always happy to learn about new sports. Okamoto's character looking a little crazy like a gremlin that hasn't slept for years, and Takepi's character being obsessed with muscles checks out. Glad they're both voicing in the main team, looking forward to their performance. |

| Kabaddi is such a bizarre sport, it kind of seems impossible to take seriously. This ep, however, showed that there is a competitive aspect too it. Truly fascinating. It was an okay first ep, tho I don't see it getting much better. |
