MR-Isekai said: Came in expecting bowling CGDCT, got ??? Me too, though they should rename the anime to Turkey! Time To Strike Back in Time! or something. |

| They really missed the chance to time slip to Ottoman Turkey. |
| I... was not expecting this. The site I'm watching had the summary so I was seriously baited lmao. I don't know how they're going to mix bowling and the warring states but I'm intrigued to find out. |

| wtf was that at the end, are they really about to isekai this anime? bruh |

| @RaiseYourChicken Its time slip not isekai, well some can argue that is close enough. |

| This is the third time since starting to watch anime in 2016 that I've strongly felt a particular anime had a disgustingly deceptive and flat out dishonest marketing campaign behind it, rooted in full and complete deliberate deception, in a way utterly insulting to and disrespectful of their audience. To the point of inducing pure incredulity. First Higurashi Gou in 2020, then Zenshuu earlier this very year, and now this. I sincerely hope that it isn't a trend others look to for inspiration, which catches on like wildfire and that we get an accelerated rate of production of these, essentially, mass organized lying campaigns. |
| Wait what, I thought it was going to be bowling CGDCT, not an isekai or time travel or something like that?? What lmao But I liked it, gonna keep watching |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| i was thinking it was just gonna be a chill high school bowling slice of life… and outta nowhere: TIME TRAVEL?? 😳 That twist at the end was so wild I had to pause and just stare at the screen like, “did that really just happen?” Not gonna lie, I did not see that coming, but now I’m super curious to see where the story goes. |

| Yeah should’ve known something was up from that poster |

Damn. We just all got Zenshu'd.
| @Briekimchi I feel the same. It was good, and then the supernatural stuff ruined it. |

| i only thought something was odd with the name not knowing much about bowling but before i got to watch this i had already learnt about what this was really gonna be and im normally very good at going into things blind but people had no chill revealing the twist CGDCT sports drama was what i signed up for but totally not what i seem to be getting ??? what the hell are they gonna do now being sent back in time praying it isn't too dark but i dont think it will be a happy ending but at least they make it back alive from that intro |

| I was expecting a cgdct bowling anime but now there's time traveling to the Edo period? Or that's what I assume, please don't be rude with me if I'm wrong, but whatever as a sucker for historical anime this has my time and attention and raise just a little my expectations. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| To be honest it seemed like a paint by numbers CGDCT anime about bowling, a sport I am not interested in. So I wasn't inclined to take this further until I got spoiled about the plot on TwiteX. Now I am inclined to give this another two episodes to see where it is going. It also doesn't hurt that the girls really are cute and the animation is pretty good either. |
| Would've preferred just bowling. |
 |
| Definitely did not see that coming! Was just settling into what I thought would be a chill well animated bowling slice of life! Then that surprise ending! Great character introductions here and unique slice of life bowling aspect! As well as whatever comes next! Great Summer season! |
| that was unexpected. also, I liked this more than I anticipated. |

| This was very interesting cute girls playing sports then wtf Warring States period? I could have done without that, now it's some historical war politics anime ? |
| Initially added to my PTW last year for the CGDCT, heard about the sudden tone shift a couple hours ago, felt weirded out and mildly off-put, watched ep 1 out of pure curiosity, now i'm totally hooked. I have absolutely no clue what they're cooking but ep 1 was great. |
 |
| That ending was like the most bewildering genre switch since Hajime Kindaichi tried to mix Vanilla latte with wasabi. One moment it's all cozy cute girls playing sports and fingerless gloves, and the next—bam! Welcome to Edo-era carnage with a side of samurai seppuku head flying |

| I've been playing bowling for years. Though at an amateur level, I even used to play serious tournaments annually, before covid-19. When Turkey! was announced, I was so glad that we finally would have a bowling spokon, which I was wishing for for years. And, the cherry on top of the cake, with CGDCT. I don't have enough words to describe my disappointment about what this anime turned out to be at the end. I feel scammed. I feel betrayed. |

| This episode was nice even without the ending. The drama at the start put it above the fluff CGDCT we get every season 😂 For the people saying they've been betrayed, there will always be CGDCT every season, it's not that deep. |

| I am a great fan of spokon anime, but I usually reject girls spokon stories because I cannot bear the kawaii attitude of the whole cast, very common in those ones. So that's why I wasn't suppose to give Turkey a chance... But I had second thoughts, so finally I watched the first episode. Ok, that girls don't seem too kawaii-coded, but... Oh, wow, what was that end??? I'm going to keep watching... I guess. I'm just curious of what it's all of this about. Let's see. |

| @Cestlavie_ It's not about it just being CGDCT, people added it to their list because it advertised itself as an anime about bowling. People have every right to be annoyed about the creators being deceptive. I'm still going to watch because I want to see how they're going to mix the warring states period with bowling of all things but I'm also very annoyed about being Zenshuu'd again. |

At first, I was happy that the show I wanted finally appeared, but it was all supernatural nonsense...? I expect a CGDCT and quality bowling show because I love bowling. But what the hell is this? If anything, this show just reminds me of Mono the bait and switch troll show(+shameless self insert). |
kotadotzip said: Personally, I like it when a surprise is allowed to be a surprise. I can't imagine being so weirdly hurt by a creative decision. "Lying campaigns" lmfao, Christ, is it that serious bro?? You're entitled to feel that way. I feel quite differently on the subject, as I already expressed. A "lying campaign", as in a marketing campaign with a dishonest approach, is precisely what it was. No more, no less. As for your question of whether it is that serious or not, it depends on what you mean. It's not serious enough to launch a street protest, start a war, enter into crying fits and a years-long clinical depression, or commit suicide over. Is it serious enough to dislike and disagree with the decision and a write a comment on an internet forum to that effect, expressing such a view, which took me all of a minute or two to write and in the exact venue and place for such comments and discussion? Yes, I'd surely say so. Now, how "serious" that is is impossible to quantify, but it's no doubt up to each individual person how to feel about it and to what extent, like anything else. |

All-female sports anime are usually way too underrated, if you don't count Girls und Panzer, Keijo!!!!!!!, Uma Musume, etc.
So, this time the girls are up for some bowling. Quite a unique case, like Iwa-Kakeru! Sport Climbing Girls, Kandagawa Jet Girls, and Puraore! Pride of Orange (ice hockey) for example.
Entertaining and also a very surprising start. I expected this to be more like an ordinary sports anime. I definitely didn't expect a time travel story.

Empanadanime said: False advertising, deceptive advertising and marketing, complete lie. These creators thought they were clever, but no. I am sorry but stop. You do weeks of promo for this anime about bowling, and then you completely change everything this was being promoted to by the end? I subbed to CR mainly because I was excited for this show. After I finished, I don't think I have ever been this mad at a piece of media like this. 90% of this episode was great, but doesn't matter, because Turkey! isn't about anything. And I fear more of this show will more than likely be the same. I won't spoil the details but honestly, save yourself from this if you were hyped. Please.

I was also looking forward to watching this anime, since it was going to be about bowling but since I saw a forum on here yesterday mentioning the time travel part I just lost interest in wanting to watch the anime. I also did watch the second trailer first and the first trailer second on YouTube yesterday as well to see how vastly different the anime turned out to be. |
