# ALL OUT!! (2016) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/all-out-2016

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

ALL OUT!! is a television series that premiered on October 7, 2016, and ran through 2017. Created by Amase Shiori, the show centers on the rugby club at Kanagawa Prefectural High School. The story begins during the school entrance ceremony when Kenji Gion, a short and gutsy first-year student, encounters the tall Sumiaki Iwashimizu. Following this meeting, Gion joins the rugby club alongside Iwashimizu, who carries a complicated past. The team also includes the sub-captain Hachiouji, who looks after the members, and the captain Sekizan, who possesses significant power but remains reserved. Because rugby lacks a single ace striker or specific star player, the members must navigate their differences in personality and physical performance. The series follows these characters as they work to grow together as a team on the field. The English-language voice cast for the series includes Stephen Sanders, Justin Briner, Christopher Wehkamp, and Brad Smeaton. Viewers can access the series through various streaming platforms.
