2 cour of Rubgy? Whoa I hope this will be worth it. A lot of sports series have been getting 2 cours these days.

Figured as much as sports anime tend to carry on with matches and tournaments hopefully this will fill that sports void after diamond no ace ends except knowing madhouse this will prolly be first and only season so short lived void until haikyuu comes back

The star of a rugby team is usually the flyhalf. He's the guy that is supposed to direct the offense and kick the penalties and conversions. That said, the scrumhalf often puts pressure on the opposition with box kicks, and sometimes he (the scrumhalf) and the second-five-eighths or fullback can take on goal kicking duty for experience or if the flyhalf is new.
Anyway, I am conflicted on this series. On the one hand it is fantastic to see a rugby anime at long last. No doubt it is part of Japan's promotion for the 2019 world cup, as well as an attempt to ride on the goodwill engendered by the Brave Blossoms exploits at the 2015 world cup (the victory over the Springboks was one of the most shocking upsets in the history of world sport). On the other hand, I doubt this show will be any good. Still, I'll be watching, if only for the novelty. |

The synopsis, which makes the show look like the usual shounen crap that sports shows tend to turn into. |

Do you mean All Out! will fill Haikyuu!!'s void? If so, I have to point out that Haikyuu!! S3 and All Out! will both start airing in Fall. So there's still going to be a void. |

I like good sports shows that don't fall into the two traps of being either fujoshi-bait or DBZ with high schoolers. Baby Steps was awesome, Ginga e Kickoff!! was really solid (despite the kiddy designs), Chihayafuru was simply incredible (especially first season), Initial D was also ridiculously fun (again, talking about first season), I liked Ping Pong even with its arty vibe, Hikaru no Go was addictively good, and then there were entertaining baseball shows such as One Outs, Moshidora, Cross Game, Taisho Baseball Girls... Give me a good sports show and chances are I'll like it. But give me crap such as Prince of Tennis or Air Gear and... well... you get the idea. |

Ah, rugby.
The warlike trial of my adolescence in which, irrespective of my will, the only people I could consider friends were temporarily relegated to moving targets of violent, sodden flesh. So too was I to them. Skin was chafed, over-exerted muscles were pulled, and barely thawed grass offered little comfort to those who met it in a sudden, crunching thud. What was ostensibly a gentlemanly pursuit of a strange, hand-held egg was in fact a gauntlet of testosterone, lifeblood and mud-stained hatred. And now it's an anime, of all things. |

I'm sorry,but my interest level in this is very low,probably minus a thousand. It's about a sport (rugby) that isn't all that big in this country,it's probably behind soccer in lack of popularity in America. And the poster with the rear view of the guys isn't really something I want to see. Certain people may want to see something like that,but not me. It doesn't really float my boat. It may float others,not mine.
Now,I'm going into Karnak the Magnificent mode here. (A character from the old "Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" for those who were curious about it.) I predict that the chances of this show coming to America are beyond nil and if it does,it won't even get an English dub. But,I've been wrong before,why stop now? And please forgive me for saying this,but you need to change the title. It's spelled "rugby,"not "rubgy." |

I look forward to seeing how they'll make the modern scrum into exciting television.
