The punch connects and the world screams “pog!” Later this month will see the premiere of the TV anime adaptation of writer Taejun Pak and illustrator Kim Junghyun’s hit WEBTOON series Viral Hit (titled Kenka Dokugaku in Japanese).
Ahead of then, the official Fuji TV anime YouTube channel released the creditless opening video set to “Wild Boy” by MA55IVE THE RAMPAGE.
Masakazu Hishida (Fairy Ranmaru) will direct the series at Okuruto Noboru. Toshiya Ono will provide the series composition, alongside Satomi Miyazaki (Attack on Titan animation director) providing character designs and Yutaka Yamada (Tokyo Ghoul) on music, with Slow Curve producing the series. Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs in Japan. The series premieres on April 10.
Viral Hit originally premiered on the WEBTOON platform in November 2019 in Korean, and English in October 2020. The platform describes the series as such:
Scrawny high school student Hobin Yu is probably the last guy you’d expect to star in a NewTube channel that revolves around fighting. But after following some advice from a mysterious NewTube channel, Hobin is soon knocking out guys stronger than him and raking in more money than he could have ever dreamed of. Can Hobin keep this up, or will he eventually meet his match?
