Introduction
Riku Haruma enters high school without a future in sight. He sees people playing like monsters on the ground, jumping higher than anyone else, running fast, deciding to try their best. There, he sees Akira Kariya playing rugby, a sport he was once passionate about but gave up due to his physique. While Akira is running roughly, Riku gives him a piece of advice without thinking. From that, Riku feels his dying passion for the sport set ablaze, and his future starts to brighten up...

Objectively speaking, not very good, especially the animation quality is pretty terrible.
However.
I was really entertained by how the rival school is going full on into LARPing territory with their shtick. You know how some anime will have "the prince of the school" or something? This school has a rugby club leader they treat like a prince (one guy would likely do anything for his sake, and frequently gets down on his knees to like, just give him a towel) and their club room has a large round table they all gather around, and it's located presumably in the Sistine chapel, if the decoration is anything to go by. It's ridiculous and over-the-top, I love it.
There's also a fascinating character that I cannot believe comes from this anime, and I know he'd get a bunch of fanart with ange…

Well, after all the negative reviews... I felt like giving contra.
Story: I'll admit... when it comes to rugby... I have zero knowledge. But rather than enjoying the game, I prefer to look at the interactions of the characters. So it may not be most accurate when it comes to rugby (I really have no idea), but if you come to watch a sports anime for the general atmosphere rather than the actual game, it may remind other sports anime. If you don't like this kind of animes to begin with... you maybe look in the wrong place.
Art: Well, I'm not the first to care about arts, but as a josei, this reminds more of a shoujo anime than a shonen. Not that I mind.
Sound: No special thoughts.
Characters: Though in a way, our characters were quite stereotypical for anime sport, when coming next to ea…

I felt bad for this series so many times during its run that I just lost count, for various reasons.
I mean, look, if you have your main character declare he will put a collar on the other main character in the very first episode... at the very least make it a thing. A gag, a running joke, something that comes up multiple times during the series for a bit of fanservice. If you have a flamboyant pink guy whose self-proclaimed motto is "enjoy and excite"... leverage that for fanservice. When you're showcasing a sport with so much body contact... put some fanservice in there, it's so damn easy.
And - yes, I'm going on about fanservice, which no anime should be solely built around, but if all else fails, at least you should be able to fall back on that. And boy, does Try Knights fail everywh…

I mean... what do you want me to say about this? This is like when Gainax and Production I.G decided to team up and make FLCL except we got the two worst studios working in the anime industry. I mean, this show is like the stars aligning for us. I mean, we are probably never going to get something this terrible for a long time. I mean... everything from the PVs to the schedule delays to the visual art following to the show, I knew this was going to be one of- no, THE worst anime I have ever seen in my entire life. I have now watched every single episode. Do I regret it? Yes and no.
Let's start with the animation which is... horrendous. Some of the worst key framing and overall feel of the show I have ever seen in a while. I felt like I was watching a kid in the back going through a slides…

THE WORST ANIME OF 2019 PERIOD!
Ok guys be warned I am going to rip apart this piece of garbage. I hate it so much that I can finally take all my anger with it.
Watching many kinds of filths can be really tough to endure, so sometimes in my free time I decide to do other activities like practicing New Zealand’s rugby national team dance, the Haka so like that, the Maori Gods can help me endure this piece of turd that I will talk about.
The torture I had with this was horrible that I want to forget it. I thought that Afterlost was the worst anime of 2019 but Try Knights takes the cake and tried harder to surpass it, unless something wants to challenge it in the fall 2019 season.
Try Knights is a manga adaptation of the same name written by Shunsaku Yano, but the author doesn’t know a…

Try Knights? More like try HARDER to represent a sport that the main show doesn't know what to showcase. ESPECIALLY since (at the time of airing) this is the Japan Rugby World Cup, and it incorporates only one or a few types of play, and this show just went to whack every single type of Trys in rugby, as if to educate the viewer about the sport (like we know nothing DUH). Smarts.
At its core, this shitshow is an ultimate failure in all aspects: story/plot, characters, animation (the biggest sin) and sound. Need I say more?
There's no story, just high school boys with no motivation, in the usual school club at the verge of disbanding, and needing an external person, such as a "Zhuge Liang-esque" strategist junior and some "Bakugo" aggressive people (cuz' you need some brute force) to get…
