| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good start so far, the OP song works fine imo for the series. The comedy is funny so far imo, especially with how Gion interacted with others. Animation quality looks decent by Madhouse. They didn't get much into the rugby yet but seeing as it's a 2-cour, they have plenty of time to. I haven't read too much into the manga so pretty curious to see how the rest of the episodes will play out. There's some emotions already so I also expect more drama to build up between classmates and rugby. Themes are okay, the ED song is somewhat catchy. |

| I LOVED THIS! The characters are all lovable so far. The animation and ost are also beautiful. I actually liked the comedy as well, I laughed out loud when the blonde guy walked towards a dead end LMFAO. So glad this is getting 25 eps |

| The art and animation is so MADHOUSE that it hurts. Very, very good. The second half was crazy good. Gion is a great MC. |
| As an Australian, I've been looking forward to this series for a long-ass time. It was only a matter of time before a Rugby anime got made after Japan's amazing performance at the 2015 Rugby World Cup and their securing of the hosting rights of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Similarly to Kuroko no Basuke and Haikyuu!!, we have the Short/Tall duo MC dynamic. Genji definitely has the stereotypical scrum-half personality, he'll fit in just fine haha. |
| The first episode was pretty bad. The humor feels really dated and it wasn't funny when Fullmetal Alchemist did it, so it's not funny when All Out does it. The backstory is silly, since they are playing goddamn rugby, injuries are common. I thought they would show someone badly hospitalized or him injured, but he broke his friend's arm. Big deal. He should just play darts then. I just need to see the actual plays now. I could get used to the cast if the matches are really fun. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| That was a great start, Really nice. I don't know much about Rugby, Only the very very basic idea of the sport so hopefully I can learn about the sport as well. I really liked what they said about Rugby, A sport where there is no clear cut ace or star striker, Just that the guy with the ball is the star. Looking forward to seeing the truth in that statement. Characters are likable, We got ourselves a short complete beginner and a tall guy with a natural advantage who's suffering from some past trauma. Comedy is good, Some of the scenes were funny. Couldn't help but laugh when Gion got thrown by the red haired guy and the way he marched into the literary club was funny too. The art and animation are great, Hopefully the matches get animated in 2D. The final scene with the soundtrack was fantastic, That smile on Gion's face when he said Rugby was fun was great. :D Wonder if Iwashimzu got over his trauma, Can't wait for more. |
 |
| Great stuff!! It feels like a classic shounen sports series!! I'm excited for more. Seiyuus were A+. Nice to hear veterans Hosoya and Osaka. Main characters are VERY unique. |
| This was pretty decent, I guess my only complaint was how predictably cheesy the backstory was. Right away, I knew that Iwashimizu's "friend who introduced him to rugby" would get injured and it would scar him. I don't know much about rugby, but I'm well aware of how intense the games can get so a broken arm is certainly nothing out of the ordinary. Like someone mentioned above, it would have been better if the friend was hospitalized or something. Anyway, enough of that, I'm looking forward to more and hopefully I can learn some cool things about rugby in these 25 episodes. |

| 2nd best sport after moe pingpong |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| a lot of sport anime and every single one of them are better than Days lol |

| A lot better than I expected it to be, this was great. |
 |
| This was great, as expected, I read the first 4 chapters of the manga a while ago and I knew this was going to bee good. The OST is amazing so far, the directing is great and the characters are so full of life, this is going to be fun. |
| :3 |
| Nice first ep, no rugby but introducing some characters, the giant first year had some mental trauma cause he injured his friend in middle school :'( Gion is a manlet but he's strong :)  |
 |
| This duo reminds me of Edward & Al, Hinata & Tobio, and Kuroko & Taiga. Non-anime compared to : Of Mice & Men |
| Pretty good first episode. Still though, there's 4 sports anime this season (Aside from this there's DAYS, Yuri on Ice, and of course the 3rd season of Haikyuu), at least of the traditional variety. I really like the art style and MC. Could develop into something pretty good. |
| I don't know what it is about this anime but I feel pumped and ready to exercise. I'll be honest I thought this would be another eyeshield 21 but so glad it's, it's own thing and for that I'm looking forward to more episodes. damn why is every sports anime that's out this season good? |
| Good start ! Animation was so good, especially in terms of exposing the emotions. 8/10 |
| i'm loving it! + the art is sooo pretty~ ♥   |

| It was quite enjoyable, and I wasn't expecting to like it. The classic shounen sports feel is definitely there, which I like a lot, and that includes the cheesy backstory as well as the newbie who doesn't have any advantages going for him (at least not at first glance). I like Iwashimizu, he's so timid outside of rugby. And ofc the visuals were great, the coloring style and the lineart of the characters reminds me of Rainbow in some ways. Honestly at first I was just judging the character designs from the news threads regarding this series, but I think it might be one of the more enjoyable anime this season for me :) |
| Characters are painfully bad. They are so ridiculous they bare no resemblance to humans. Even has the dead giveaway of a little kid show with the character that is always screaming because anything more subtle would be lost on a 6 year old. |
| Funny how One Outs (also a sports anime) was made by Madhouse and now they are doing All Out. |
| good start and that butts hahhahah like the characters want to see more |
Sokah said: True dude. Characters are painfully bad. They are so ridiculous they bare no resemblance to humans. Even has the dead giveaway of a little kid show with the character that is always screaming because anything more subtle would be lost on a 6 year old. Going by the series pedigree, the first episode unfolded exactly as I expected. It wouldn't be bad if it didn't feel like I've already seen this exact episode before. That's the thing with sports anime these days, they all feel like they get off to the same start, just swap the sport and repeat the same beginner/underdog story over and over. Don't know if I want to continue this... |
| I liked first ep. Had the constant feeling that it doesn't "flow" as smoothly as Haikyuu or Eyeshield 21 for instance (anyone still remembers that one?), but it seems interesting and warrant further following. |
| Very good first episode. Already like this anime and i am sure that they'll bring the real rugby sports to a good anime. I already like Gion as a character. Hyped for the upcoming episodes :D |
| Finally a sports anime about a sport I really like, Characters seem solid enough. This along with shuumatsu no izetta are the ones I expect good things from. I expect Keijo to be my AOTY though xD. |

| Fantastic animation. Been waiting for this one for a while! Rugby.. can't wait to see this! |
| I mean, yeah it was pretty generic but it was an enjoyable first episode ! |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Loved it, can't wait for more. |

| Tree trunk baby is a hot candidate for some high quality gap moe. |
Sokah said: Characters are painfully bad. They are so ridiculous they bare no resemblance to humans.

Most shows are made with teenagers in mind and very rarely are they subtle. The animation looked good and the art is nice and distinct. Cliché storyline and bland characters felt mediocre at best but I've read a bit of the manga and the story progression seemed satisfying to me. Don't expect any surprises though. Might be an alright watch. |
 |
| I was pleasantly surprised by this one, not a bad start and since it's gonna be 2 cours I might check a few more episodes out. Although for some reason, Tree trunk boy bothered me, I just found him kind of annoying. Sekizan was pretty cool though, I just don't know if this series is gonna do anything different than other sports anime. Unless you put some sort of interesting spin on it, team sports anime tend to all feel the same...I mean there's only so many times you can watch a group of characters win and lose games until it gets boring. Unless you have a really great cast carrying the series. I guess we'll just hafta wait and see!! |

| Is this BL tease fujoshi bait again or is it a normal sports anime? |
| I quite liked this. Didn't think there was anything wrong with the characters. I was sold already, and then the Sukima Switch ED, I'm so in. |
 |
| I came for the buttocks and wasn't disappointed. So far I like the MC the best. I really would like a bara anime in this art style. One can dream. |
| This first episode didn't really get me hooked like I thought it would. It was still okay though, I think it'll probably get better when they have their first game. |
 |
| Promising first episode! Love me some dual protagonist animes. Though I have my doubts if it'll match up to Haikyuu and Kuroko. The OP was cool, the ED was kinda boring. Some parts make me smile, and Tree Trunk and Shorty are both adorable. Ah, if only the whole team was adorable. But this is rugby, so, that'd be weird. XD Anyway 5/5 can't wait to see more! |
 |
| Nice episode, it kinda made me a little nostalgic when I used to play Rugby. I have a feeling Gino will be a halfback. |
| Omg it's here Ahhhhh Gion and Tree Trunks yay |
