Cheer Boys!! English Sub & Dub

About Cheer Boys!!

Cheer Boys!! (チア男子!!) arrives as a slice of life anime by Brain's Base (2016), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Haruki Bandou was born into a family of Judo marital artists and expected to continue the family legacy. But he’s about to trade Judo for... cheerleading?!

From there, when his childhood friend Kazuma Hashimoto invites him to join the BREAKERS, a male cheerleading club, Haru comes across himself amongst a quirky group of boys. Can this squad of slightly odd and cute members make a breakthrough in college athletics?

As a slice of life title, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Haruki Bandou (Yuuki Yonai) and Shou Tokugawa (Yuuki Ono) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
