Rising Impact: Netflix's Golf-Centric Anime Swings into Action with an Electrifying New Trailer and Music by BLUE ENCOUNT

Netflix has unveiled a preview for its latest anime endeavor, "Rising Impact," which is based on a widely admired manga, complete with an exciting new title song courtesy of the renowned Japanese rock ensemble known for their work on My Hero Academia.

This enticing glimpse introduces us to the fervently athletic Nanaumi, as he crosses paths with a woman skilled in golf who explains to him the impressive distances the golf ball can achieve. "I aim to become the top long-distance hitter globally," he ambitively states. The footage continues to show Nanaumi's journey to an elite institution, entering a pivotal golf competition. Surpassing merely powerful swats, it appears prevailing in this contest will demand overcoming a host of highly skilled peers equally vying for victory. You're encouraged to view the entire video above.

Originating from Nakaba Suzuki’s acclaimed manga, "Rising Impact" chronicles third-grade student Nanaumi Gawain, who spends his days immersed in baseball, harboring dreams of unrivaled batting prowess. As described by Netflix's formal summary: "His life takes a turn upon meeting Kiria Nishino, a pro golfer, who after witnessing Nanaumi drive a golf ball over 300 yards, convinces him to take on golf. She aids him in relocating to Tokyo for enrollment at the prestigious Camelot Academy, specifically catering to youthful golf talents, where Nanaumi discovers and hones his inherent golfing abilities amidst intense competition from internationally lauded counterparts."

"Rising Impact" is tinged with nostalgic references to the anime of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, emphasizing themes of camaraderie and diligence. Notably, the clip is significantly elevated by its soundtrack, performed by BLUE ENCOUNT, a band with a formidable reputation in the Japanese rock scene, recognized for their contributions to other significant series such as Gintama and My Hero Academia.

The creative force behind the series includes Hitoshi Nanba in the director's chair, Michihiro Tsuchiya handling the screenplay, and character designs by Kiyotaka Oshiyama, famed for his work on Chainsaw Man. Voicing the characters are Misaki Kuno as Gawain Nanaumi, You Taichi as Kiria Nishino, and Yumiri Hanamori as Lancelot Norman.

Mark your calendars as "Rising Impact" season 1 is set to launch on Netflix come June 22, with the anticipation of season 2 already brewing for an August 6 premiere. For aficionados seeking more, explore our compilation of top anime picks or stay current on the impending anime sensations.
