Netflix has announced the precise premiere dates for the Rising Impact anime’s two seasons.
Rising Impact Season 1 will debut on the platform on June 22. Season 2 will premiere on August 6.
Rising Impact is an adaptation of the golf manga by The Seven Deadly Sins‘ Nakaba Suzuki. Netflix describes the plot as:
In Rising Impact, Gawain Nanaumi is a third-grader with an incredible love for baseball and making the ball really fly. In a chance encounter with a female professional golfer, Kiria Nishino, he learns that golf will allow him to hit a ball further than any other sport.
Using his physical strength and keen observational skills gained from living in a rural mountain area, he manages to hit the ball to such an impressive distance that it rivals even that of professionals. With Kiria’s help, the new golf enthusiast enrolls at Camelot Academy, a prestigious school for both skilled and aspiring golfers from around the world. Gawain wants to be the best professional golfer in the world but there are other golf prodigies with extraordinary skills that stand in his way and he has to face various trials to overcome them.
The Rising Impact manga ran from 1998 to 2022 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump. It was originally meant to end in 1999, but reader response led to its return around three months later.
