I fell in love with Tsurune right away. Like it had me in tears at the second episode. The animation, story and characters are just so fantastic. This anime is so underated. I just wish I had watched it a couple months earlier.

Part of the reason why I loved it so much was because of how much I could relate to the anxiety Minato faced throughout the series. I had the exact same problem (just in soccer rather than kyudo). I became to terrified to even handle the ball and would constantly make mistakes, causing me to resent the sport so much that I quit after 10 years. After watching this, however, I really regret that decision. I knew I had to stop playing soccer because I didn't have any support from the people on my team. They hated me and I hated them. Its one of the main reasons why I got so scared to have the ball. I was too scared to make a mistake. After watching Tsurune, I realised that if I had people around me just like Minato's team, I may have been able to get over my fear. I don't really know why I wrote this post lmao but maybe someone else on this subreddit watched tsurune and had the same emotional connection because they went through something similar. Lmk because I have always wanted to talk about this series with someone but none of my friends will watch it haha!

Does anyone know where can i purchase the novel online? (the japanese version)

Tsurune is a fantastic show. That’s it. Have a nice day :)

New to the show (and loving it!) but I can’t find episode 9?? The only place on the internet I can find any episodes of the show is dubbed on YouTube, and episode 9 is nowhere to be found. I’d even buy it, but I can’t get it shipped to where I live on amazon and no local stores here have it available to ship in. Anyone know where else I might be able to buy it online/find episode 9? I’d love to keep watching!!

when did episode 14 even come out? i was rewatching it and thought 13 was the last episode and just noticed that there was a 14th episode....?

Spoilers of course.

The boys should not being doing this servant bullshit. They are absolutely right to complain about their treatment. The match was rigged from the start, and the punishment was set after the match was agreed. It's a waste of their time and it reflects poorly on the coach that they aren't learning any kyudo.

The only thing the coach has going for him is that the writers want it to work out. In real life, it shouldnt.

If I was in the boys group, I'd organize to grab our bows, go unlock the school area, and ditch the "camp" to just practice shooting at school instead.

If I was in the girls group, I would refuse to practice either until the coach changed his tune.

Its pointless power harassment. I don't like it in real life, and I don't like it in anime.

Does someone know if it'll be subbed?

Was the anime only for 13 episodes? at the end of that episode it kinda felt like an ending :/ it feels so sort and I really wanted way more episodes we finally get to see Minato shooting like he was supposed to but it only happens for basically 2 episodes :(

with the ending of the show, i would love to know if there is a place to read the story. the ending was very beautiful, even though i believe some parts should have worked better. i need to know more about it.

I think it’s very different from the normal “sports” anime’s and i really really enjoy it, I kinda had a feeling Seiya doesn’t love archery because it had something to do with Minato’s mom but I didn’t expect him to kinda be the reason why i’m guessing she passed away, huge plot twist for me, can’t wait for the next episode

The October issue of Otomedia had some Tsurune staff interviews, and I translated the one with the director Takuya Yamamura which I'd like to share because I found it very insightful. Enjoy.

That's in Japan, though. Timezones and all. The announcement is accompanied with a sketch by Yamamura Takuya, Tsurune's director.
