We also received comments from them. Furthermore, the 1st PV that begins with a monologue 'I have finally found out what I can be truly passionate about. (provisional translation)' by Futaba, and features the members of Ao-ko rhythmic gymnastics club recruiting new members. It will make you excited about the opening.

TV anime "Bakuten!!" will be aired from Apr. 2021 on Fuji TV "noitaminA" and other channels. **Happyokai = Recital <Full commnets are below.> Tsuchiya Shinba Q1. What is your impression of the work? First of all, it depicts sports very seriously! Not only those who are familiar with sports, but also others would empathize with the story, as it depicts various stories such as how they meet others and what led them to start as well as gymnastics itself. Also, I learned how important it is to be passionate about something through youth story that is like wind blowing towards the future. Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? He is cheerful and honest! Apparently he may look like a cute-type, but he gets stronger as the story expands. He is so bright that he makes people around him happy as well. When we are devoting ourselves to something, we tend to find it hard to stay positive, but if you see Shotaro's strength that 'never looks back', you will get something positive. I would like to play the role as if we were growing together. Ishikawa Kaito Q1. What is your impression of the work? I was not familiar with men's rhythmic gymnastics so far, but I was so surprised to see how excited I have been from the 1st episode. When I was in middle school. I was practicing Danish gymnastics, which is close to rhythmic gymnastics. I felt nostalgic, and enjoyed finding differences and interesting points. I also liked the characters' relationships as well as gymnastics scenes. They are really youthful, positive, and make me want to stay in the story forever. Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? Misato Ryoya is cool, and rarely expresses his feelings. Apparently he seems cold-hearted, but he is feeling and thinking a lot in his mind though he doesn't show it. He is an experienced gymnast when it comes to rhythmic gymnastics, but he is also a character who is always excited to get started. He looks amazing when he is truly passionate about rhythmic gymnastics. Ono Daisuke Q1. What is your impression of the work? When a boy encounters rhythmic gymnastics, he starts to change. An encounter with friends broadens perspectives. I really like that kind of story. Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? Shichigahama is powerful and positive. Playing him makes me feel positive as well. As a captain of the rhythmic gymnastics club, I would like to lead the unique members! Kondo Takashi Q1. What is your impression of the work? I felt that the story depicts men's rhythmic gymnastics in a simple way so that you can get into it smoothly, featuring the members' fresh youth story. You will be able to take it clearly and simply in a good meaning. I was so glad to be a part of the work. Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? Tsukidate-kun is like a mother in Ao-ko mens' rhythmic gymnastics club. Shichigahama-kun leads all the members, and Tsukidate-kun supports it. I'm willing to take that role, so I will support Ao-ko rhythmic gymnastics club together. Shimono Hiro Q1. What is your impression of the work? The story begins with the scene that Futaba Shotaro, who has never practiced mens' rhythmic gymnastics, is attracted to it, and joins the Ao-ko mens' rhythmic gymnastics club for trial. I have only ever seen a few animated works featuring rhythmic gymnastics. It is a team sport that involves a lot of dramas between members, which makes me excited! Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? Onagawa is in the 3rd grade as well as the captain Shichigahama and Tsukidate, and an ace of Ao-ko rhythmic gymnastics club, but I still don't appreciate the aspect. He still seems like a clown character rather than ace as he is behaving freely and frequently makes fun of others. He is in the 3rd grade, so I am older than Kamiya-san as Watari. I feel pressure by myself. We are in a good relationship anyway, so I will try my best as senpai! (laugh) Kamiya Hiroshi Q1. What is your impression of the work? Worrying about future...Spending time with precious friends that exist only at the moment...Gradually one gets more and more serious than the other...The story depicts high school students that are living such young days with all their heart. Q2. What is your impression of the character you play? And what is your resolution? He is in the 2nd grade, so he will start getting conscious of the balance changing. Is he already aware of it or not? He is too serious about the current team more than anyone else, which ends up spinning his wheels... (C)Bakuten Production Committee
