omg more bishies playing rugby. This is the best! I love them already. Can't wait for cast. Happy to see more varied and less shounen/seinen-ish sports anime.

Totally. Imo sports anime has been on the decline over the past couple of years. This anime doesn't look like it'll change my mind, but who know :1

Haikyuu is the only good sports anime anymore...

Run With the Wind is pretty good too

Ooh I'm starting to like the variety of sports anime adaptation news lately.

It's not an adaptation, it's literally saying original in the title of the news man lol

My bad, I mean more like sports anime news in general lately.
