A brand new key visual from the MAPPA anime was also shared, giving fans an early look at the animation style and tone they can expect when the series premieres in July. The series is co-created by chief director Masafumi Nishida, who previously worked on Tiger & Bunny. 

RE-MAIN will tell the story of Minato Kiyomizu, a former competitive water polo player who suffers an incident during middle school. Now a high schooler Minato decides to jump back in and try to fulfill his dream as a water polo player. With friends and his teammates supporting him, he is set for a memorable adventure. No U.S. streaming announcements have been regarding the show, so fans will have to continue to wait for more information.
