MAPPA, the savior of 2021, is back this summer with a water polo-based anime titled RE-MAIN, something that we desperately needed in this scorching heat.
The series follows Minato Kiyomizu, who tries to recover after a fatal accident that cost the previous national polo champion his skills and memories.
The series is currently airing, with the first two episodes already out. With just its 2 episodes, the anime has set up an endearing premise that has left us hungry for more.
The official website of RE-MAIN announced that the third episode of the weekly series would be delayed to 24th July. This delay is due to the broadcast of the 149th British Open Golf tournament.

Additionally, the broadcast on 24th will also be 30 minutes late due to “special formation” at midnight 2 am.
The cast and staff of RE-MAIN have already been announced.
The first two anime episodes have been one of the most visually pleasing this summer, with gorgeous animation and artwork by MAPPA. The series introducing the protagonist as someone who was already at the top and following his struggle to get back up there is fascinating.
However, even though it is a sports anime, it has a solid slice-of-life vibe which may distract you from the actual sport, but I prefer it.
The series indeed plays on the quote “I think therefore I am,” and the upcoming episodes are sure to delve into memories and existential conflicts.
RE-MAIN is sure to be an excellent anime in this highly packed summer lineup. So don’t forget to give the anime a try.
