Burning Kabaddi has officially landed on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series follows Tatsuya Yoigoshi, a talented soccer player who abandons sports for livestreaming, only to be unexpectedly recruited for the school's kabaddi team.
Produced by TMS Entertainment, the studio behind hits like Dr. Stone and Yowamushi Pedal, Burning Kabaddi leans heavily into its absurd premise. Yoigoshi's initial contempt for sports clashes with the intense, strategic, and surprisingly physical nature of kabaddi, leading to comedic confrontations and unexpected growth.
With a MyAnimeList score of 7.01, the show offers a unique blend of sports action and shonen comedy. Its 12-episode run makes it an easily digestible watch for those seeking something outside the usual anime fare, showcasing a sport rarely seen in animated form.
