| 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! 😠 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. |

| That was funny, why the bad scores, I laughed so hard, I think it has potential! *thumbs up* Looking forward to this series, I'm curious about the captain's personality. ^^ |
 |
| A good first episode, and I'm definitely gonna stay for this one if it keeps staying on this level. I thought the animation on the trailer looked kinda off, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this had actually decent animation. To be honest, I've liked playing games like tag and dodgeball since I was little, so I think I'm gonna like this anime, as kabaddi has some elements of tag and dodging in it. That, and the hot muscle bois. Definitely looking forward for some fanservice if there is some lol |
 |
| Good anime characters and OP. What.... I thought that bold man in the opening is saitama lmao |

| It was an ok episode but I wasn't interested in this sport in the first place, seems kinda annoying to me. I thought maybe the anime itself could be interesting because I like sports anime in general, but no, the whole situation felt somewhat random, I didn't really like any of the characters and the set up to force someone into the team is meh. |

| I swear I’ll watching anything with Yuuma. And that voice cast. Nobu, Furukawa Makoto, Suzuki Tatsuhisa, even Ayu, wtf is this voice cast!!!!! Sure-watch for me. They fit the characters really well. Especially Makoto, I can see why he was cast as Iura lol Didn’t think I’ll like the character designs that much but I’m living for Yoigoshi......look at them thiccccc thighs. He’s hot. A hot......dork.....L O L @ how serious he is about his live-streaming lol Omg I was laughing when Yoigoshi was like “don’t introduce yourselves.......” LOL!!! What a fun first episode & introduction to the sport. Excited for more & Nobu’s character. The ED by Yuuma is great too♡ Hope it doesn’t turn into a typical, mediocre & forgettable seasonal sports anime like what skate leading stars & wave were last seasonI have hope in this. Seems like fun! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The animation was def not that great. But Kabaddi was something I've loved playing since a young age with friends. And it's interesting to see it having an anime adaptation. Definitely seems like it's going to be a fun watch. Hope I stick till the end. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| There was so many still shot with impact frames over them. Looks like it will be the sort of show that made on a budget |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| "Date Shinji" reminds me of "Gyoumei Himejima / Kimetsu no Yaiba" |
| I have to admit that I never heard of Kabaddi. It seems lit its a physical version of tag mixed with some elements of Rugby in terms of tackling your opponent. I wish they had this sport at my school because it looks like some thing I could excel in since I used to wrestle in high school. |
 |
| Ok i'm not expecting this anime to be good... damn this first Ep was nice.. first I was like 'ok ITS pretty decent so far and then they're explain the game and boy it sound fun. But we'll see if the actual sport would be that good. |
| kabaddi? ... oh the indian contact team sport? ... this is gonna be good for sure! 5/5. |
 |
| I abso-fucking-lutely loved the first episode! It's amazing that I, as an Indian, get to watch this anime based on Kabaddi, but it also sucks that no freaking one has licensed it to simulcast here in India, so I'm sorry I have to watch it on illegal streaming sites. |

| The OP payed so much attention to the black haired shota that I was quite confused about who the protagonist was. This isn't good, but it's fun. I kind of don't like the outlines of the drawings. They seem so digital and lifeless. I hope I get used to it. |
| Cool that there's an anime about Kabaddi, but bizarre that people in India can't even watch it streaming legally. Nice job, Crunchyroll! As always. Was a pretty good first episode. The jokes with Yoigoshi's stream made me laugh a few times. The streaming life is a hard one... |
