We learned in March that the Try Knights manga is getting an anime adaptation and a new update has landed for it. The series is set for a July 30th, 2019 debut, tying it closer to the 2019 Rugby World Cup and Crunchyroll has now revealed their pickup of the show. They’ve got it for a same-day release at 1:30 pm ET for their members. Availability is pretty great as it’s open worldwide outside of Asia.
Gonzo is producing the animation for it and now several new cast members have been revealed with Takuya Satō as Reo Asamiya, Wataru Urata as Yukiya Katashiro, Tomoya Fukui as Akiomi Suruga, Shun Horie as Rinto Arimura, and Haruki Ishiya as Shōgo Tenkawa. Check out their designs below!
The Japanese cast includes Shōgo Sakamoto as Riku Haruma, KENN as Akira Kariya, Seiji Maeda as Tomomi Hōryū, Shūta Morishima as Pearce Valentine Shōtani, Yoshiki Nakajima as Seiichirō Nade, Takuma Terashima as Tori Fuyuhara, Kōhei Amasaki as Sōya Randō, and Hidenori Takahashi as Keita Oguma.
The manga comes from Senzoku Erisawa and Shunsaku Yano which began in June 2018 in Monthly Comic Gene and it has two volumes in print so far as of the end of March 2019.

Plot Concept: Haruma Riku begins high school with no future in sight. Then, in a passing glance, his attention is captured by the wild, animal-like movements of a student on the school’s athletic field. He jumps higher, runs faster, and tries harder than anyone Riku has ever seen. That student is Kariya Akira, and the sport he plays is the one Riku attempted in the past but gave up: rugby. As he watches Akira running in a rough, unrefined gait, Riku gives him a bit of advice without thinking, and those words end up setting his passion for rugby alight again. With this first encounter between these two young men, one tactical and the other physical, a new light begins to shine on Riku’s future.
