I wonder whence such a sudden trend of sports anime for guys, I missed some kind of sports hit? And what surprises me even more, only half of this is an obvious yuri-bait with cute girls. In any case, although none of these titles are dedicated to the kinds of sports that I enjoy, I will be interested in watching these shows.

Seems that Summer may have more sports shows this year.

I haven't watched a badminton anime in a long time so this has my interest.

Not shonen, not a male cast. Seems like it's got potential.

Well, if I correctly understood the information, it's likely something like a badminton version of Bamboo Blade for a more adult audience.

Hmm well I don't like sports anime much but if it's all-female and with plenty of jiggling tits potential then I might give it a shot. Also badminton is at least a pretty fun sport to play so I guess that's a slight plus too

I disagree, it doesn't look like a comedy show. This will probably focus on competitions, the pv give me the feelings of Haikyuu

It's like Keppeki Danshi! Aoyama-kun written for boys. Almost an equal number of girls and guys with coach, but most of the attention is concentrated on the girls and the associated fanservice.

If this is a yuri-bait like Saki, then the difference is minimal.

It's not a comedy, but the concept of "cute and hot girls under the direction of the male surrogate audience". But in this case, I doubt that one of the heroines will be in love with him. Although, last already depends on the author's attitude to yuri and qeerbaiting, it's not Manga Time Kirara.

Well, there's not even a romance genre, but I'm confused by the notable yuri's style design of the girls. But in general, I'm not against yuri, if this is done adequately, and not so intrusive and fetishized as in the last volumes of the Life of the Centaur.

Animation quality is great! Finally a high-budget sport anime focused on female characters. It has 11 volumes so I am hoping for a two-cour adaptation.

Oh boy! I played Badminton throughout my school life all the way to my university days (alongside tennis and football)! I have to say I am very average when it came to competitive badminton. I never went beyond the second round. But I Love this sports.

The level of details is already amazing. I would love to see if the foot works are done properly. Already enjoyed the small clip between 018s and 022s.

I would really love it if it's more like Haikyuu or Oofuri, that is realistic.

Oh, I started this manga last year and quite liked it. Looking forward to this.
No yuri / fanservice, iirc; I have zero interest in fanservice and tend to drop those right away.

Oh, then it lost much of my interest. :/
But the PV looks amazing so I'll probably watch it anyway.

Idk, but the pace of play in this PV looks quicker than 'realistic' WS badminton match.

I hope they make this as realistic as possible like Haikyuu did.

Ps : i am sure enougj this anime got a lot fans from South East Asia (especially Indonesia) since this sport is (very) popular and familiar

I don't have much of a positive opinion on LIDENFILMS tbh, but the staff looks pretty good, PV animation is fantastic but we will see when it actually comes out.

Badminton was like the only sport I could play decently on school, so watching an anime of it might be neat, I will probably check out the manga since it seems to have some chapters translated.
