Hong Kong content distributor MediaLink Entertainment Limited's Ani-One YouTube channel announced on Wednesday that it will stream the television anime of Hajime Musashino's Burning Kabaddi (Shakunetsu Kabaddi) sports manga. The anime will stream on April 3 at 1:25 a.m. GMT +8.
The manga's story centers on first-year high school student Tatsuya Yoigoshi, a former ace soccer player who dislikes sports. He gets invited to join a team for the contact sport kabaddi. He scoffs at the idea at first but becomes interested after watching a kabaddi practice.
Kazuya Ichikawa (The World Ends with You the Animation, Clean Freak! Aoyama kun) is directing the anime at TMS Entertainment, in collaboration with Domerica. Yuuko Kakihara (Aikatsu! franchise, Digimon Adventure tri., Cells at Work!) is writing and overseeing the series scripts, and Midori Gotou (Otogi Zoshi, Hozuki's Coolheadedness) is also writing the scripts. Mari Takada (Bakugan: Armored Alliance, Bakugan Battle Planet) is designing the characters. Shōji Hata (The Ancient Magus' Bride, Fairy Tail) is directing the sound, and Ken Itō (Hina Logic - from Luck & Logic, I'm Standing on 1,000,000 Lives.) is composing the music. Stage musical actor and singer Shunya Ōhira performs the opening song "Fire Bird," while the anime's lead cast member Yūma Uchida performs the ending song "Comin' Back."
