2025年夏アニメ
Turkey!
BAKKEN RECORD
スポーツオリジナルタイムスリップ
2025年7月〜9月放送
"Turkey" is bowling slang for three consecutive strikes. Mai Otonashi, captain of Ikkokukan High School's bowling club in Nagano, is a naturally gifted second-year who can never win a match — every Turkey she rolls is inevitably followed by an unbeatable split. Her only underclassman, Rina Godai, calls her out: "You're running from winning. If you don't want it, I'm quitting." Determined to stop Rina from leaving, Mai challenges her to a one-game showdown — and suddenly the bowling ball starts glowing. The five club members are engulfed in light, and when they wake up, they've somehow been transported to Japan's Sengoku (Warring States) period! Set in real-life Chikuma City, Nagano, this is a fully original bowling-meets-time-slip anime from Tatsunoko Production's in-house label BAKKEN RECORD and Pony Canyon.
