A new character trailer for the Turkey! Time to Strike original anime, focusing on the first-year transfer student Rina Godai and her worries and friction with the bowling club, has been released.

Turkey!-Time to Strike- is premiering worldwide in July 2025. The premise of the TV anime, which is created by the show’s animation production company Bakken Record and Pony Canyon, is described as:

Will you believe me? 

A story that is mysterious, precious, bittersweet, and irreplaceable— 

Can’t be described as simply fun. 

“Turkey” is a bowling term for scoring three consecutive strikes. 

This is the story of Mai, the “a genius who never wins” and her teammates—Rina, Sayuri, Nozomi, and Nanase—members of the Ikkokukan High School Bowling Club. 

They fight, they fall, but they rise again, chasing victory. 

This is the tale of a summer’s final chapter.
