Fed up with society, youngsters all around Neo-Tokyo formed tribes to find their place in the world. However, group loyalty among them grew fierce and often led to violence. As a countermeasure, the government implemented the XB Law—stating that the tribe conflict is to be resolved through Extreme Baseball. From players using extendable bats to pitchers wearing special equipment, Extreme Baseball is a futuristic version of the sport with modified rules, less restrictions, and bizarre applications of technology.
When a group of youngsters bullies spineless Haru Shirokane, he is saved by an unexpected pair: Shun Kamiya and Taiga. As it turns out, Shun is a star player of Extreme Baseball who leads the Minato Tribe, the top-ranked team in Minato City. Meanwhile, Taiga aims to defeat Shun in hopes of becoming the strongest in the sport. In a string of spontaneous events that allow Shun to discover their potential, Taiga and Haru are roped into joining the Minato Tribe.
As the tribes across Minato City face a new threat led by the mysterious Oujirou Otori, the Minato Tribe might just need the power of their two new rookies to overcome the clutches of evil.

I’m a huge Danganronpa fan, and while I didn’t catch Akamatsu Drive I figured I’d check out Tribe Nine this season. Unfortunately, this promotional anime is as the kids these days say “mid”. So what about the good stuff? Well the music is great at least, Masafumi never disappoints with his compositions. You still have the excellent bops you have in other games he’s worked on, but the OST is definitely closest to Danganronpa’s. The character designs by Rui are also still real unique and have that edgy, rebellious style that works great with this series. Also sometimes, the animation genuinely is good and there’s onebig twist around ep 3 that I did not expect.
However past that, the writing for this show just does not quite know what it wants to be. It constantly switches from a sports show to incredibly generic shonen. Characters survive lethal blows for no reason, and some scenes just felt nonsensical. I’m actually half surprised it didn’t bring back alive a certain char that dies, considering the way the writing was going.
The story of Tribe Nine is mainly just a general story of one time rising to the top. You have several eccentric and quirky characters you’ll forget by tomorrow make up the other teams the protags fight. They of course beat them, and then have one final battle against Ojiro and his dudes. That’s about it really, there’s hardly any nuance and feels like the worst bits of Kodaka’s previous works, where it’s just constantly escalating even if it’s nonsensical.
So what about the characters? Well most of the cast is fairly bland tbh. Haru and Taiga do grow as characters, but it’s very standard stuff. Shun is cool I guess, Kazuki joins later, and without spoiling has an alright dynamic with Ojiro. As for Ojiro, he’s kind of just a very typical “only the strong shall thrive” villain. The overall conflict of this show is standard stuff where “guy with power of friendship fights villain with no friends and shows him power of friendship”. I actually like this trope, it’s just very mediocrely done here. Perhaps the most notable thing about Ojiro I can say is that Corpse Father plays him in the dub.
If it sounds like I’m repeating myself, it’s probably because I am. There’s really just not much to say about this series, it’s incredibly average in most everything. The animation is fine most of the time, sometimes getting good but not to the point it would really affect my score. The voice performances are good in sub like usual. This anime mostly just sort of exists to promote the game like most anime of its type.
Overall, I’d give it a 5 maaaaybe 5.5/10. Peep the soundtrack when it comes out, but I wouldn’t really rec watching it, unless you’re a Danganronpa fan just absolutely starving for more stuff similar to it. Even then though, all you’re gonna get is a few crumbs.

I was hyped for Tribe Nine since I heard about its release a few years ago now, and I can start by saying I am still excited for the game. I am writing this review fresh off the last episode, and I can say I am overall pretty satisfied with what we got. I wasn't expecting anything revolutionary, and they pretty much delivered where I wanted. Keeping out spoilers I can say this anime will leave you surprised at some of the plot developments which is somewhat expected of this team. The story wasn't anything special somewhat generic at times, and downright boring other times. Theplot can be summarized as bad guy does bad things for no real reason other than "power." With that being said the art, and sound are on par with expectations they did a good job in that department. The theme and sound will have you forgetting how silly some of the plot actually is. The characters make up for a somewhat lacking plot, but not to the same degree as the art and sound. The characters range from interesting to downright annoying.
One notable example is one of the characters Santaro basically only serves the plot as a goofy character. Which is fine, but some of the other characters even part of the main cast in the Minato tribe have a significate lack of presence. Haru and Taiga are decent enough showing good growth throughout the running to balance things out a bit. Overall the characters are somewhat inconsistent with some of them having very little depth. In my opinion I can as most people see this work a lot better as a game since plot elements can be somewhat shrugged off.
Despite my complaints I did actually enjoy this anime since I think the visuals where well done. The concept of extreme baseball, well somewhat inconsistent in the anime would be pretty cool if made into a game. The anime did what it was supposed to for me since it got me interested in the game. I don't know if they will continue the anime to any degree, but if they did I would hope they expand on the world of Tribe Nine, and perhaps flesh out more of the established characters. I could add a laundry list of plot holes, or unexplained story elements, but I will leave it at well at least it was fun.
-Thanks for reading

Ask me anything; I'll be the first one to tell you I love danganronpa, for a long time now too, I wanted to make a Fanganronpa by the time 2 came out. BUT, if there's something I find redundant is excusing mediocrity trough legacy. Right of the bat, you can tell that everything here was created with a purpose: Promote a high budget game by a popular group. Because this anime is nothing more than a marketing campaign, to the point where they slap a QR code to their main site -front and center- in one of the first episodes. Anyone who hasseen the promotional material of tribe nine can easily tell a lot of budget is going into the game, and it's mobile nature will easily lend itself to monetization. This anime is only here to boost the game, because it doesn't compare in Visual or Written quality to anything realistically passable, and I can only hope they believe the game will do a better job at it all.
Story:
So, it's a story about a new Extreme baseball, right? It'd be logical that they explain what is still the same as in baseball, and what is new to this modality, but they never bother to. Suddenly you got people scoring points for touching first base, then next episode, the sides aren't changed once a team accumulates 4 outs, next episode, NOW they respect conventional rules.
I don't know anything about baseball, couldn't name a single team, but if I can tell something is off from the most basic knowledge I got from Wii Sports, you've done something wrong with your sports anime.
They never even tell you who's on first most of the time. But the story itself isn't especially bad, you're at least going to be entertained, and it's very consistent, so there's no parts that are especially good or bad.
Note; that's just the bare minimum.
There's no giant tonal shifts or unbelievable moments within the scope of the story, and nothing struck me as out of left field. That also means that it's mostly predictable, and the unpredictable parts are more often than not just the characters being dumb and doing illogical things for strange reasons...
On that Note about characters.
Characters:
And the characters, they become smarter or dumber for whatever the plot finds accommodating.
For example, one of the characters tells another that 1- They're terminally sick and need to drink their medicine for it, and 2- "I'm going to raise a death flag" then proceeding to give out a will...
And yet this other character doesn't bother to do anything about it, it's like the dying character decided to die and the other one allowed them, because the plot would see it fitting. No insistence.
The few characters that have arcs kinda work, but most of them don't have anything going for them, they are very inconsistent too with their personalities and ideas, but I'll let you decide weather or not that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Sound:
But you know what's INFINITELY more horrid? SOUND DESIGN.
I swear to you, I can't recall a single anime with sound design so bad, it's actually adding difficulty when watching. I've seen some things like the damn Bible Black dub, which actively attempts to be bad, and yet it's still better than this.
Masafumi Takada, composer of this soundtrack, IS A GOD, he makes the best music, but I don't understand what COMPELLED them to mix the music at the same volume as the vocals!!
That's right!
If the characters are having a big emotional moments, all you can hear is Takada's viper slamming on the table.
Again, all the respect to the composer, but you actually have to tune your ears to listen to the japanese audio.
WATCH THE DUB.
If you value the ability to listen, avoid the japanese version at all costs.
I'd regularly say "well, the seiju are [this] and [that]", but I can't properly listen to their work under the hellscape that is my brain during the watching experience. it's distracting and disrespectful to the voice actors, yet such a basic concept that it's unfathomable to mess it up. If people on youtube can slap a compressor on their background music, I don't see why an anime studio can't
Art:
Now, here's the commendable part, right? The designs are really good, right!?
No, but also yes.
Look, I can complain about the plethora of characters that look like danganronpa redesigns, in fact, I call most characters stuff like "Kaito 2" and "Chihiro 2", but that's not the anime's fault. If anything, I'm glad to see the character designer is actually making characters that don't look like "X 2".
By themselves, they are probably the best part of this anime, colorful, memorable, one of them is just a chubby human pikachu guy! (later a moropeko) It's not anywhere near bad. If the animation was up to par, there would be no complaints, but of course, most art is very 2 dimensional. that's not to say the more ambitiously animated scenes look bad and have huge mistakes, but it's fair to say they are at least pretty jagged, so don't expect the prettiest animation. If the characters weren't as nicely designed, then there probably wouldn't be any saving grace for a lot of these visuals. There's a huge missed opportunity with these cyberpunky environments getting boring background art.
I'm down to watch anything Tookyo puts out, I like the people working behind the projects, I know they have what it takes, they create amazing stories, but I'm sad to say this story is simply not one of them, go watch akudama drive instead if you're looking for something more on par with danganronpa.
Overall it's very average, and it's bound to be better received trough it's legacy, but I personally see a lot of the things the show does that are inexcusable, and any positive review is probably attributed to the legacy of danganronpa, their creators, designers and writers.
For it's own merits, the show does not stand as anything good, it's fun, but "fun" can be 300,000 different shows.
This might not be worth your time if you're not interested in the game this serves to promote.

I am a huge fan of Chiharu Sawashiro, who plays Taiga. I’m mentioning this because, when it comes to anime, I tend to have an “I’ll watch it if Chiharu Sawashiro is in it” mentality. While it may have led me to watching some absolute gems like Tsukipro, I really need to stop having that mentality, because it also led me to watching Tribe Nine, which might just be the worst anime I have ever watched in my entire life. The worldbuilding makes no sense, I hate most of the characters, and it genuinely confuses me that someone looked at this monstrosity of a showand thought it was okay to subject the public to it.
The main character, Haru, is… fine. He’s alright. Personally, I find him a bit annoying in his weird passiveness, but there’s nothing actively wrong with him, I guess. This can be said of the vast majority of characters, in fact, because barely anyone has anything going on besides being extremely basic, stock image character tropes (the newbie, the singular girl, the big guy, the little guy who’s a huge perv, the big bad villain who just wants power, etc.), with two exceptions that I’ll discuss in the next paragraph. That doesn’t mean they’re tolerable characters by any means, though. They all kinda suck.
The two exceptions are Taiga, and the members of the Ota Tribe (so, technically, there’s six exceptions, I guess). Taiga is easily my favourite character (and it’s not just because he’s voiced by Chiharu Sawashiro, I swear), even if his character motivation kinda stopped making a ton of sense after episode 4 (no spoilers). He seemed to actually care about the things around him— both XB and the other characters— compared to the other members of his tribe who seem infuriatingly take-it-or-leave-it about everything. This is interesting considering that Taiga is a total newbie to both the sport and the area, being from “overseas” (the dub decided that he’s Irish?), and thus has every reason not to care. There was even a moment where something bad happens involving Saori, and he’s the only one who wants to help her, despite everyone else being theoretically her longtime friends. The show seriously treats him like a punching bag, calling him “arrogant” and “stupid” for wanting to do things that are the completely logical thing to do in the given situation. There’s also several moments in the show where he says to the other characters that he’s the only reason that they’re alive, and the show treats those moments as if he’s being dumb and overconfident, but if you follow the plot up to that point, it’s literally just the plain truth. It’s absurd, and my boy deserves better.
The Ota Tribe are just funny, honestly. They’re so gimmicky but it’s in a genuinely enjoyable way (very #edgy and rawr XD if I’m being honest, but in a funny way). Sonoda is a delightful antagonist, all he wants is chaos, and that includes keeping a guy who’s constantly trying to murder him by his side. The puppet show sent me into actual hysterics. Episode 9 was the only good episode of this show and it left me wanting the Ota Tribe as the protagonists.
The animation and art style are horrific. Most of the main characters have grey skin, the hairstyles completely change shape depending on the scene, and the limited colour palette makes my eyes hurt. The purpose of a limited colour palette is to make sure your colours look nice and cohesive in any scene, but they chose the absolute worst colours possible so there’s no point of making it limited in the first place. The shading also doesn’t make any sense in most scenes, neither does the lighting. It’s all godawful and I really shouldn’t have expected anything else from the people who made Danganronpa of all things.
The voice acting isn’t terrible, but the mixing in the Japanese dub made it almost unwatchable at certain points, even if the casting and voice acting was good. The music was super loud and invasive, and the voices were stupidly quiet in most scenes. The English dub fixed a lot of the problems, even if there wasn’t much vocal diversity compared to the Japanese cast. I still don’t entirely understand why Taiga was Irish, but Phillip Sacramento was honestly phenomenal, so it’s hard to even care. It was nice that they made it clear where he was from, compared to the Japanese dub which just said “overseas.”
The overall standout was probably Junta Terashima as Sonoda, though— he really captures how absolutely batshit the guy is, even when he’s saying stuff in an objectively calm manner, and especially when he was trying blow everything up for the sake of some “chaos.” Also, once again, the puppet show sent me into hysterics and I think about it regularly.
Everyone in the dub was about equally good with no real standouts, with my only real complaint being, unfortunately, Ojiro’s casting. I don’t hate Corpse Husband or anything, but he wasn’t… um… acting. He just seemed to be reading the lines as himself, or something. A bit disappointing considering his voice is obviously very unique and I think he could bring something really cool to the dubbing industry, but he really dropped the ball here. Hopefully he’ll get better over time, though!
Before I continue, I also really feel the need to mention all the misogyny in this show. It’s awful. Saori’s constantly getting sexualized (groping, getting walked in on, etc.), the main female villain’s gimmick at the end is just an excuse to draw her basically naked, and the only other female characters (Enoki and Minami) barely existed. Minami is basically just a prop to her male boss in most cases. It’s hard to say anything else without spoiling stuff, but please, if you’re going to watch this, be prepared to be practically assaulted with misogynistic bullshit. It’s very reminiscent of the humour of older, “haha they’re threatening to rape the girl, isn’t that HILARIOUS?”-type shounens, and it’s seriously uncomfortable to watch.
Overall, holy shit, don’t watch this show unless you’re some kind of Danganronpa mega fan, though even those people seem to be disappointed judging by some of the other reviews. It’s a complete mess of a show with a bad plot, bad worldbuilding, bad art, bad characters, and bad development as a whole.
If you want a show about a semi-post-apocalyptic Japan where a new government takes over and instates a law declaring that people have to fight with something extremely specific other than weapons, causing the 23 wards of Tokyo to form groups and essentially start a turf war, I would suggest Hypnosis Mic: Rhyme Anima, where it’s basically just Tribe Nine’s worldbuilding but with rapping and infinitely better. If you want “existing sport but EXTREME,” try Prince of Stride, which is about track racing but with added parkour. If you’re like me and will watch anything with Chiharu Sawashiro in it, try Cheer Boys, which is about male college cheerleading, or Tsukipro, an incredible chill and delightfully “nothing happens” idol anime. Alternatively, watch literally anything other than this.

Tribe Nine Review (6.1) Rip-off of the baseball game that has power.The story is boring.It's boring to watch because the animation and the effects are ugly but it was improved in the last episode.The character designs are not well done, not very detailed.The song is very nice which is my favorite song right now. STORY:5/10 This is a rip-off of baseball games that make the game of baseball ugly because they made it ugly,Baseball Bat,Pitcher and catcher have power and those rules are confusing especially the field is so big because they are playing in the city.Boring and corny to watch it would have been better if theproduction and storytelling were good
ANIMATION:5/10
Episodes 1 to 3 are boring to watch because of the ugly animation because their work is not very detailed. But it got a little better later on.
CHARACTER:5/10
The character designs are ugly,especially their hair,which is poorly made.They are not well introduced and the character development is like nothing,and they always get beaten up in the end.
SOUND:9.5/10
The intro is my new favorite song.
heycoolbook
If inazuma eleven it's the to go super stupid sport anime with a lot of heart and charm, then this is like the total oposite, and i don't know how many times i've seen characters designed by Rui Komatsuzaki, and i still don't find them appealing, i don't know what it is, but they don't click with me, and add to that super corny and cringy dialogue and i'm gonna dislike them even more. And what it's the point of adding baseball if mid match it turns into a fuckin free for all, you can remove the baseball and i don't think anything would change,this literally could be a generic battle anime. The animation it's good most of the time, but the some characters look weird, aoyama it's the one that comes to mind, he looks off most of the time, i think his hair might be the problem, because komatsuzaki can't draw a character with normal hair even if his life depends on it, and one last thing, 12 episodes anime shouldn't be allowed to kill characters, specially this kind of anime, because it feels funny of how sudden and outta nowhere that it is, and how the characters try to be sad and gloomy, but the anime it's short so the plot has to keep moving, so they grieve for like a couple of minutes and move on, funniest shit i've seen, and one last thing, the soundtrack fuckin slaps, specially in the last two chapters, i'll probably end up adding some of the songs to my playlist because they went hard

I am not usually a fan of sports anime but I got to say I LOVED this futuristic take on baseball! Its like Oblivion Battery and Wind Breakers had a baby that is Tribe Nine! Sure I understand it is a promotion for the video game of the same name but by that logic all anime is bad because it promotes VNs, LNs & Manga! People need to stop hating on a show because its promotional material. This anime has a very unique and interesting premise that follows around gangs resolving violence with a futuristic form of baseball. Not to mention they fight hand tohand and can do whatever they want as long as it fits within the parameters of the rules! That is such a fun premise considering most sports anime can be pretty dull! The character design was also AWESOME! I mean Ojiro in general was just a really menacing character with a peak outfit! I didn't feel like I was watching a baseball anime even though it was very clearly a sports anime and for me that is enough reason to recommend it from now on! We get to see a team become a family after loss and then persevere against a monstrous enemy... LIKE WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT??? If you want a solid sports anime with baseball and fighting then give Tribe Nine a watch. Decide on your own whether its a good show or not.

As a standalone anime, this is simply bad. But luckily, the Tribe Nine game finally came out, so this isn't standalone anymore. Though.... if i discovered tribe nine through this anime, i'd have never given the game a chance. Luckily, this anime came, like, 5 years ago....??? so there was no chance to use this as marketing in the first place, lol. This anime gives some context for the world and characters you find in the game, sorta like a very bad history lesson. It's pretty neat to visit as someone that s some ways into the game rn. Is it mandatory watching? No, and frankly,it has worse writing and character interactions than the game, which makes it painful to watch. If the premise intrigues you, just play the game. Don't go through this. (Or do, after u played thru the game?)
The game improves on the cringy dialogue, the chemistry between the characters, the characters themselves, the story overall (though we're early on. Comparatively, it's still better...), the misoginy (all the girl characters have relationships with eachother and not just the men, they're never sexualised, they're strong and plot relevant etc)...... The protag, Yo, is different than the one in this anime. We dunno what happened to him. Or half the cast of this anime anyway. I'm sure the devs are cooking somethin though.
If you want a review of this as a standalone anime, well... u can read the others. It's paced horribly, the charcaters have little chemistry between them (they are very peppy and cute though. They're clearly friends, but something feels off about them as a group...), the XB matches are lame cuz the main cast always needs some other tribe's help to win a fight (and they keep insisitng they are strong...? No, the one guy that made yall strong died, you people are useless in a match), the protag is boring, Taiga (red head guy) is the only one with some sort of character development that made me enjoy seeing him on screen--- and of course, the animation, art and sound mixing is god awful.
Cool worldbuilding (delivered poorly so it looks more lame than it is, but im doin compliments rn-), good voice acting, and..... uuh, i really wanted to say a third thing, but i can't.... 3rd compliment is that as a tribe nine player, it's nice to use the anime for lore speculation, like the identity of some characters in the game..... but yeah. Bad anime that gets bumped up because i care about the characters in the game this was meant to promote.
Tldr: Are you here because you're playing the game? Watch this (on 1.5x speed), it's worth it for the lore. Are you here randomly and have no idea what tribe nine is? Skip this.

I didn’t know much about this anime when I first wanted to watch but I was not expecting it to be a sports one. It’s more of a combination of sports x action x futuristic tech, and I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it. I thought that the main storyline was mediocre at best and was annoyed how the most interesting character was only in 3 episodes, and there’s the overused trope of a “group of guys + 1 girl” which I find a little sad. Also, it can get unnecessarily violent at times which I didn’t expect and kindof put me off from watching any more episodes. On the other hand, the animation was nice, the VAs did a good job, and the character introductions and designs were interesting.
AtlasEarth
Really wish I could explain why it’s getting this score because on paper, this is a pretty solid show. By no means one to get the emotions rising but pretty solid in a lot of respects. I watched the dub and do absolutely enjoy it. Great casting choices and the VAs gave very good performances despite a few lacking experience. There is also occasionally some great animation in this show and I generally like the character design. I guess the stuff I am less keen on is all the picture things. Characters are fine but many aren’t as fleshed out, I am not a huge fan of theplot or themes, humor and action doesn’t really excite me as much as it. It’s very middling in a lot of regards. I absolutely do think someone could come away loving this and I can see why they would, but this didn’t scratch any itch I had.

I have a hard time focusing on shows that I love, let alone ones that confuse or bore me. Tribe Nine never once lost my focus. I loved every moment of this show. Script/Voice Acting - 9/10 I watched it in English, as I do most shows (as an appreciator of English voice actors), though I did watch a few scenes in Japanese to see differences in voices and dialogue. The Japanese voice actors did a great job, but I have to admit that I think watching it in English is partially what made Tribe Nine so captivating. The English script was so quirky and entertaining,and each character had their own mannerisms and interesting ways of speaking that brought me so much enjoyment. The English voice actors completely knocked it out the park (no pun intended) too. Taiga's Irish accent and colloquialisms were endlessly entertaining, Corpse Husband in his first professional voice acting role completely owned his part, and while I'm not one to often laugh out loud at shows, these characters had me rolling so often. I found them all to be so charming, even ones you're not supposed to like, due to their captivating vocal performances and hilarious dialogue.
Characters - 7/10
I love the entire cast of characters in this show. All their motivations seem solid given the information we have about them, and their interactions with each other are so charming and entertaining. All of my favourite shows have one thing in common - that being a cast of characters that interact and bounce off of each other in fun and comfortable ways. I got that feeling of fuzzy, cheeky, close-knit banter with Tribe Nine, even the characters that weren't friends at all. I do wish we were given more backstory in relation to the main characters, the villain at least was given a good amount of explanation - but I love the protagonists too! I want to know why they do what they do and are the people they are. There is, at the least, a good amount of character development. Most of the main cast have their own progressions and overcome some form of obstacle be it in physical skill, attitude, or mental fortitude.
Plot - 7/10
The story was enjoyable and the mechanics of the main gimmick, obviously being the game of XB were easy to understand and easily had me motivated. The pacing I found to be really well-done, no moment seemed overly drawn out or too short to make sense or get a real feeling of. The world-building did make some aspects a little hard to understand, while it is explained that these tribes exist and play XB, the world outside of that - while not too directly relevant to the plot itself - definitely would've made the entire show feel a lot more cohesive. This also ties into a lack of backstory for some characters - Haru, for example, his being in Minato city, his family, what he was doing before he joined the Minato Tribe - none of this was really touched on, and I'm sure a general idea of what the majority of the population are doing outside of the events of the tribes would've made the settings and characters feel a lot more grounded.
Art Style/Animation - 10/10
Really, I can't criticise anything about the visuals of this show. It's all so pleasing to look at. The art-style itself is fun and unique, and as a fan of Danganronpa - really nostalgic to see, and the animation lends itself well to some REALLY cool action scenes. Of course, these aren't Demon Slayer-type, long-winded, gruelling battles but they are tense and fulfilling in their own right, and they are animated so beautifully for what they are. Each character is design in a unique, fun way that lends itself really well to their characterisation - each of the characters acts and behaves in the way you would 100% expect from their appearance, and no detail feels misplaced or overdone. The colour pallet of Tribe Nine has to be what ties it all together though. Every scene and character are gorgeously and vibrantly coloured, making every frame interesting and captivating to look at. The visuals of this show alone set the tone, and sell each character and scene perfectly.
Overall - 8/10
I really love Tribe Nine, I'd go so far as to say it's become a new favourite of mine. Once I had finished it, all I could think was "that was a lot of fun!", and it really was! I love the characters and while these 12 episodes were wrapped up nicely, a season 2 could also fit in well and I'd 100% be excited to see it! I really recommend giving Tribe Nine a go if you love a bit of cheesy "friends make me strong" sentimentality, gorgeous visuals, and cheeky banter between a group of friends you end up wishing you were a part of.
HardIsGood
It's a very cool anime with interesting characters and story but: It is sad not to see a gradual progress of the 2 main characters ( Haru&Taiga ). For the rest I have nothing to talk about, because the narrator already introduces the other characters as being familiar with the action in the anime. It was nice to see the characters Haru and Taiga progress, just like how Naruto from the anime of the same name goes from being rejected by his peers to the most powerful Hokage. Besides this, the series excludes one of the most interesting characters. I recommend the anime withconfidence, my opinion is not a bad one but just a disappointed one, I think it would have had much more potential if the story had been rewritten a little
