"Eiji" English Sub & Dub

About "Eiji"

"Eiji" (「エイジ」) blends comedy, drama and sports by Animate Film (1990). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Legendary boxer Keijiro Akagi's second son, Eiji, is a high school dropout and the world's worst rock guitarist. Though his father and elder brother are both boxers, he hates the sport but suddenly takes an interest in it when he crosses paths with the local champion's little sister.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Ryou Horikawa as Eiji Akagi and Ai Orikasa as Aya Kusanagi.

Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
