Love All Play is directed by Hiroshi Takeuchi (Blade & Soul) at Nippon Animation and OLM and is scheduled to begin on NTV/YTV TV networks in Japan on April 2 at 5:30 PM with Crunchyroll set to stream the series soon after. The station describes the series as such:
A passionate coming-of-age story about badminton!
Ryo Mizushima is offered admission to a prestigious badminton high school, Yokohama Minato High School.
There are teammates with rich personalities, such as twin doubles pair, a cool returnee, and a handsome ace who has feelings for Ryo’s sister.
Effort, friendship, and victory are interwoven between the teammates and rivals.
A passionate coming-of-age story in which the main characters, who were unknown in junior high school, grow up to become the top athletes of the world.
