Bandai Namco Arts, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and diomedéa have a pretty fun multimedia project that’s coming along with a mobile game app, actual matches with the cast, and more including an anime adaptation for Futsal Boys!!!!! The official site has now updated to reveal that the anime and game are going to launch this year but didn’t provide a window for that to happen. With a new visual released to the right, setting it for 2021 is definitely welcome as it looks interesting – particularly since some of the actual in-person matches will affect the story material in the time to come.
