Huh. And here I thought RG was a women-only sport (which is still the case at the Olympics and FIG authorized international competitions). Apparently Japanese men have been at it for a few decades though, and Spain is coming on board too. A handful of other countries have teams, including the US.

Can't say I'm excited about that though. RG has always looked stupid as hell to me, like little kids prancing around trying to play fairies or something. I know there's more athleticism involved, but it feels like, for an international competitive sport, those abilities could be channeled and expressed in a more...I dunno, serious-looking way? Who knows though, maybe this series will change my mind.

I've never seen male RG, but I've always enjoyed the women competitions at the Olympics. The charas look nice and fun too~
And the cast is great! Very Happy

I would love to see a girls rhythmic gymnastics anime...but it’s interesting that Japan is one of the few places men compete in the sport.

Huh, seems like a series I might enjoy. It's reminiscent of two of my lesser known favorites, Cheer Danshi and Kabukibu.
