Toneeeyyyy, this is one of those cases where the site won't accept any of the 3 image addresses I tried copying, and they were all from ANN itself to boot.

@Edjwald

The URL you had was correct, but there was an extra space between the end of it and the closing image tag, which was what broke it. All I had to do was delete that space, and voila.

Anyway, this sounds like ecchi massage opportunities galore. I guess this'll be this season's Takamine-san. I'm curious if it'll teach any actual sports medicine, though.

Eh, maybe I will at least check out the first episode. Hopefully, he doesn't practise sports medicine the way Larry Nassar, the disgraced and now imprisoned US female gymnastics team doctor, did.

There is nothing wrong with at least sampling the first episode Blood. You drop a relatively large amount of shows but you do not skip out on that many premieres. I do have serious doubts about whether this show will actually teach some sports medicine and not be a grope fest.

Thanks Tony.

After being disappointed in the one about the girl who stopped time by dropping trousers, it's not like I have any great expectations with this one, but I'll still give it a try.

The first episode sure has a lot of ''sports medicine'' on display, in great detail too.

Yeah, it's very...cultured. Embarassed Can't say much for it plot wise though. Maybe it's the short run time, but the whole episode boils down to sports therapist has a cliche harem comedy run-in at his new digs. Gives a fan-service massage.
