"Eiji" English Sub & Dub

About "Eiji"

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, "Eiji" (「エイジ」) deserves a look (1990). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: 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 meets the local champion's little sister.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Eiji Akagi (Ryou Horikawa) and Aya Kusanagi (Ai Orikasa) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
