Japan’s MAPPA animation studio is ruling 2020 already with tons of successful releases which include big names in the anime world such as – Yuri!!! on ice, Dorohedro, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan season 4 and so much more!
We’ve been waiting for like a decade for a men’s gymnastics show, and from the trailer, it looks like MAPPA are going to capture the sport very well.
The determination in the eyes of the main character, the silent observing of the master, and the competition reflecting from the other gymnasts are making us go insane already.

About Taiso Samurai
In the year 2002, the formerly powerful Japanese men’s gymnastics team member Shoutarou Aragaki is no longer able to compete.
