The anime season looks incredibly stacked due to all the previous delays caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation.

Funimation has already announced the first additions to their Winter 2021 anime line up, and on Saturday, it came up with two more exciting announcements.

Funimation announced that it is producing an English dub version for The Gymnastics Samurai anime, also known as Taiso Samurai.

The American entertainment company also announced that it will stream the anime adaptation of Yūki Yaku’s Bottom-tier Character Tomozaki light novel series from January 8.

Mappa has been very busy throughout 2020, with anime like God of High School, Jujutsu Kaisen, and The Attack on Titan: Final Season. And yet, the animation studio came up with an original sports anime that increased fan’s interest in gymnastics.

The first English dub episode is already released, featuring the following cast:
