| Seems really unappealing on first glance, from the title to the Staff/Studio. I think I’ll just wait for the PV, trailers, Cast announcement and such for now. |

| I'm glad they're making more Anime with hot guys, but I wish that they'd choose a sport that most people actually know how to play, like baseball. I'm watching "Try Knights," but like most people in my area of the world, I know nothing about rugby, other than the fact that I was told by my parents that it was a rough sport, where people get hurt. |

| This anime looks like its going to be a fanservice anime for females, not a sports focused anime. |

Chihayafuru 3 will be airing on the same timeslot following it besides rebroadcast of Hunter x Hunter (2011) on AnichU (More Info.)Idk if Try Knights is running 1 or 2 cours, but they could've taken the Fall slot. Maybe they didn't want one rugby anime directly after the other? |

thevagus said: This anime looks like its going to be a fanservice anime for females, not a sports focused anime. As opposed to what exactly? Give me any kind of Shounen -even sports ones- that does not feature fanservice in the form of panty shots and breasts nearly bursting out of shirts. The sports tag is a plot one, not a demographic one. So boys and men don't have the monopoly on it. And I'm getting really tired of comments like yours that act as if all sports anime automatically have to be shounen. Just because it may feature animations that are catering towards the female audience doesn't make it automatically bad or not sports related. But in a lot of cases women prefer to have a strong focus on individual characters and their relationships slightly before the technical sports stuff which men find more boring, earning the series a low rating from them as a consequence. But you forget that women are also less likely to watch/enjoy normal sports broadcasts while there are a bunch of men basically glued to the couch on championship/cup broadcasts and the like. 80% of anime per season is aimed towards the male demographic with often times extreme fanservice even for boys around the age of 12. Yet there's this huge outcry whenever a series is aired that caters to females over the age of 16. Do you know how ridiculously hard it is to find anything enjoyable as part of that demographic? Most animes aimed towards females are either for little girls or have abysmal quality and/or are either super short with episodes under 10 mins each or only get 1-2 OVAs. So let us have nice things (or the hope of getting them at least) too with different plot tropes (sports being one of them). Try Knights was a huge let down, proving my point about quality anime for our demographic once more. So let me hope that this one will actually be nice. |

| If this all fan service and just bishounen I'm okay with it lol but I hope there's still a "sports" theme here, training and competition! <3 |
