TV Asahi's late-night anime slot "NUMAnimation" has decided on "Ryman's Club", an original anime about the growth and struggles of badminton businessmen, or "Budrymen", for January 2022.
In conjunction with this, a teaser visual, teaser PV, and character visuals were released. Enoki Junya, Miki Shinichiro, Ishikawa Kaito, Osaka Ryota, and Kakihara Tetsuya have been announced as the first cast members, and comments have also received from them.
“Ryman's Club" is an original anime about a badminton player, depicting two different aspects of his life: his life as an office worker and his life as an athlete. It is neither a professional sport nor a student sport, but a new and innovative work that portrays the growth and struggles of office worker athletes.
The staff is directed by Yamauchi Aya, the director of "Arslan Senki" and "City Hunter the Movie", and the badminton scenes in "The Badminton play of Ayano Hanesaki!” which depicted badminton scenes in a powerful and beautiful way. The script is written by Utsumi Teruko of "Sarazanmai," and Yasuda Suzuhito of "Durarara!” and “Yozakura Quartet” will be in charge of the character designs.
The cast consists of Enoki Junya as Shiratori Mikoto, a prodigy athlete who has been unable to achieve his desired results due to a trauma, and Miki Shinichiro as Miyazumi Tatsuru, a veteran athlete with top sales performance who will be Mikoto's buddy.
Other teammates include Ishikawa Kaito as Saeki Souta, who is cool in both work and competition, Osaka Ryota as Saeki Toya, who is active with his natural quickness and intuition, and Kakihara Tetsuya as Takeda Kouki, who is notorious for his good-natured behavior but is extremely weak in the real world.
The two teaser visuals that were released this time depict the respective figures of an office worker and an athlete. In addition, the teaser PV features a badminton scene full of dynamism, making us even more excited for the start of the anime in January next year.
The TV anime "Ryman's Club" will start in January 2022 on TV Asahi's late night anime slot "NUMAnimation". Please look forward to more news in the future.
The full text of the comments is below.
[Enoki Junya]
--Please tell us your impressions of this work.
I thought it was attractive because it depicted badminton in a serious way, while at the same time expressing an office worker’s life in an interesting way.
I was very enthusiastic about the badminton scenes from the recording stage, so I'm looking forward to it’s completion.
--Please tell us your impression of the character you are playing and your enthusiasm for the role.
I got the impression that Mikoto is very obsessed with badminton and doesn't care much about other things.
He has a cool atmosphere, but I think he is a character full of humanity, so I want to enjoy playing him.
[Miki Shinichiro]
--Please tell us your impressions of this work.
First of all, it's an original work, so you never know what's going to happen.
Also, while it's about the sport of badminton, it's about a business club. Unlike students, it depicts the conflicts of adult society, and it feels fresh and real.
--Please tell us your impression of the character you are playing and your enthusiasm for the role.
Whether it's at work or in the badminton club, I think he's a person who can see the world around him and maintain a good balance both in general and individually.
He is the kind of person who makes me wish I had a brother like him. I would like to be close to him and gain life experience together.
[Ishikawa Kaito]
--Please tell us your impressions of this work.
I was wondering how it would turn out since it is about sports for working adults.
I was wondering what it would be like. Of course, the sports are exciting, but it also depicts the hardships and struggles of working adults, and I think it will be a heart-warming work.
--Please tell us your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role.
The character I play, Souta, is very cool and has flat emotions.
However, his badminton ability itself is remarkable and I think he is one of the best on the team.
[Osaka Ryota]
--Please tell us your impressions of this work.
I thought it was a genre that didn't seem to exist: playing badminton while working as an office worker. I think this work depicts the realism of balancing work and sports, which is different from when you're a student, and you can't just focus on sports.
The main story is about badminton, but also about work in a very realistic way, so it's a two-for-one story.
--Please tell us your impression of the character you will be playing and your enthusiasm for the role.
Toya may seem light-hearted in terms of appearance and tension, but inside he is passionate and cares about his friends a lot.
In particular, I thought he cared about Mikoto, the main character, because they were classmates. He is the kind of character who will always reach out to you if someone is feeling down.
In a sense, he is a character who looks over the whole world, so I hope I can have fun playing the role while paying attention to the things you usually don't notice unless you read the character carefully.
[Kakihara Tetsuya]
--Please tell us your impressions of this work.
When I read the audition materials, I was convinced that this work would be interesting (laugh).
Please look forward to a coming-of-age story woven by working people, not students.
--Please tell us your impressions of the character you are playing and your enthusiasm for the role.
The character I play, Takeda, is the mood maker of the team and a person who can play both serious and funny. He's good for sales (laugh).
As a performer, I get to show off a wide range of theatrical skills, which makes me a better actor! I love this character, he's so cute!

Mar. 18 is Miki Shin'ichirou-san's birthday.
Miki Shin'ichirou-san has been active at the forefront of the scene from the 90s to the present. He received the Supporting Male Actor award at the 4th Seiyu Awards and the Tomiyama Kei Award, which is given to those who have spread the voice acting profession, at the 8th Seiyu Awards.
In 2020, he will be playing the main role in "Sayonara, Tyrano", which will be released in summer 2020. In addition, we at Anime!Anime! were able to conduct an interview with him at the timing of the release of the anime film, "Expelled from Paradise". We asked him questions about the film and the attractiveness of his character.
To celebrate his birthday, here at Anime!Anime!, we have conducted the same interview as last year, "Who is your favorite character voice by Miki Shin'ichirou-san?". 374 votes were received during the voting period from Mar. 4 to Mar. 11.
The votes were mainly female with the gender ratio being 20% male to 80% female. The age group was 30% under 19, 30% in their 20s, and 20 % in their 30s.
■The "demon vice-commander", Hijikata Toshizou, from "Hakuouki" takes the top for two years in a row.
1st place was taken by Hijikata Toshizou from "Hakuouki" with roughly 15% of the votes and stayed at the top from last year.
He was popular for portraying the "demon vice-commander" well and received this comment, "Hijikata-san is usually strict towards both others and himself. I could see his strong will and kindness hiding behind his strictness through Miki-san's performance."
Many comments pointed out how moved they were by his performance of acting out the character's feelings such as, "That scene where he yells in pain resonates with me every time, and brings me to tears...!"
Coming in 2nd was James from "Pokémon" with roughly 14% of the vote and moved up from 4th place.
Comments mentioning "He's a villain from Team Rocket but somehow I can't hate him!" stood out. "He's the enemy but I love how he's so kind to his friends and puts himself at risk for his colleagues and pokémon", and "He's handsome yet careless and cute. Miki-san's voice suits him so well", shows how much love the character receives.
3rd place goes to Lockon Stratos from "Mobile Suit Gundam 00" with roughly 10% of the votes and kept his position from last year.
Lockon Stratos is a code name and Miki-san voiced both Dylandy brothers, Neil and Lyle. They received comments such as, "Miki-san left a big impression on me for depicting the difference of the twins' personalities with only his voice", and "Neil taught me what it means to live and believe. He's forever an important character for me."
■Here are some comments for other characters!
For Roy Mustang from "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood", "I love how he's strong and thoughtful of his subordinates. He also has a cute charm for being a womanizer and being useless in the rain."
For Kaiki Deishuu from the "Monogatari" series, "His looks and how he talks is pure evil, but somehow he's so persuasive. Awesome acting skills!"
For Sir Nighteye from "My Hero Academia", "His motto is laughter and humor. A big fan of All Might, even comparable to Deku! I believe Nighteye and Miki-san himself have stoicism in common."
There were even votes for the character based on Miki-san himself, Youji from "Weiß Kreuz", "He sure synced perfectly with the character, being the model of the character himself. His voice really can shake people to their cores and their feelings."
In the overall ranking, there were also some characters from dubbings such as Sherlock Holmes from "Elementary".

Miki Shinichiro debuted as a voice actor in the late 1980s. He received the Supporting Actor Award at the 4th Seiyuu Awards and the Tomiyama Kei Award given to the person who spread the profession of a voice actor at the 8th Seiyuu Awards.
In 2020-2021 he appeared in a wide range of titles, including "Breakers", "Castlevania", and "Pocket Monsters the Movie: Coco ". Moreover, he is also active in various fields, such as being the captain of VART, the first race team in the voice actor world.
To celebrate Miki Shinichiro's birthday, we conducted the same reader's survey as last year's entitled "Who is your favorite character played by Miki Shinichiro?" . We received responses from 268 people during the survey period from February 28 to March 7.
The male-female ratio is about 25% for males and about 75% for females. About 35% of the age group were teens, about 25% were in their 20s, and about 25% were in their 30s.
■ Sakamoto Tatsuma from "Gintama" is topping the list! The ranking has changed since last year!
1st place
1st place goes to Sakamoto Tatsuma from "Gintama" with an approval rating of about 17%, up from 4th place last year.
Sakamoto Tatsuma used to fight with Sakata Gintoki in the Joui War, but is now the leader of the trading fleet Kaientai. Readers commented, "I can't think of any other than Miki-san for Tatsuma's slightly naughty personality. I like their bickering with Sakata Gintoki.", "I love his laugh and energetic personality.", and "He usually fools with people but his kind side make him attractive."
Some readers praised his handling the dialect, "I like the Tosa dialect and the way he laughs."
2nd place
2nd place goes to Toshizou Hijikata from "Hakuouki" with an approval rating of about 14%, down one place from last year's top.
His strict and kind character is popular among readers, "It's nice that while being strict with the surroundings as a vice-chief of demons he has a gentle and delicate side.", and "The low voice of Miki-san in the emotional scenes are the best."
Some readers pointed on how Miki-san has a lot in common with the character, "I love his way of life to never bend beliefs and fight for what you want to keep. This is similar to Miki's attitude toward the acting, and you can feel the persuasive power of each line."
3rd place
3rd place goes to James from "Pokemon" with an approval rating of about 9%, down one place from last year's 2nd place.
Since he is the regular character from the start of the broadcast, there were many votes, "Thanks to this character I get to know about Miki-san." He is also very popular as an enemy of Satoshi's Pikachu, "I can't hate him even though he is the enemy.", "A villain who is kind to pokemons, and a kind-hearted handsome guy who also helps Satoshi in case of an emergency.", and "I love James, who is handsome, nerdy, and a reliable friend!"
■Let's introduce other comments!
"Mobile Suit Gundam 00" Lockon Stratos said, "Neil, Lyle, and the twins were all played differently and it is amazing. I was really touched by their way of life."
For Urahara Kisuke from "BLEACH", "He's a goofy but strong and dependable old man. He plays both parts of the comedy duo, and when fighting with enemies, his voice becomes thicker than usual, and he is a character who shows various sides of Miki-san."
About Hagiwara Kenji "Detective Conan", "Although his appearance in the anime was short, but that was enough to show his good and friendly personality. I think thanks to Miki-san's voice it was so impressing."
There were votes for a wide range of roles, including Norizuki Jin from "Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live", "I don't think Norizuki Jin who is a charming, suspicious, and cool enemy would exist without Miki-san's acting."
In the 2021 edition, Sakamoto Tatsuma from "Gintama" jumped to the top. The fact that "Gintama THE FINAL" was released this year is probably the reason for the vote.
In the top 20, characters that were broadcast in anime in 2020, such as "Bungo to Alchemist" and "Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle" are also ranked in.
