Mou Ippon! Anime Announces Collab with All Japan Judo Federation

 

The anime adaptation of Yuu Muraoka's judo manga Mou Ippon! doesn't debut until next year, but collaborations are already underway to build hype for the upcoming series. Naturally, the show is teaming up with the All Japan Judo Federation first and foremost!

 

The collab is celebrated with a new piece of art, featuring series protagonist Michi Sonoda with a Japan national team logo emblazoned on her uniform:

The poster makes mention both of the anime's premiere and the upcoming Tokyo Grand Slam 2022, which will take place December 3-4. Mou Ippon!-related guests will be participating in the match commentary, and visitors to the show's booth at the venue will be able to see life-sized standees and collaboration art.

 

Additionally, we'll be treated to a video of voice actress Ayasa Ito (Michi) with Olympic gold medalist Uta Abe. A 30-second trailer has been released in advance of the full video:

Mou Ippon! (also known as IPPON Again!) follows friends Michi and Sanae as, rather than stepping down from judo after their final middle school championship, they choose to continue in high school. The series will be produced under Tatsunoko Pro's Bakken Record label, and is set to debut in January 2023.
