A teaser site was opened and an announcement video revealed for a follow-up anime film for Bakuten!! (Backflip!!) after the conclusion of the series' 12th and final episode on Friday.

Toshimasa Kuroyanagi (Fune wo Amu) helmed the television anime at Zexcs, and Toshizou Nemoto (Super Cub) handled the scripts and series composition. Yuka Shibata (Koi wa Ameagari no You ni) was the chief animation director and designed the characters. Yuki Hayashi (Haikyuu!!) composed the music.

Synopsis
Shoutarou Futaba has always loved sports, but he never became more than a benchwarmer on his middle school baseball team. After noticing a group of gymnasts practicing in the park, he decides to watch a rhythmic gymnastics tournament on a whim. Although displaying an exhilarating performance at the competition, the Shoushukan High School's Rhythmic Gymnastics Club placed second-to-last due to penalties acquired from not fielding a full six-man roster.

The demonstration of skill captivates Shoutarou, and he decides to enroll at Shoushukan in hopes of joining the team despite having no background in the sport. The club recruits him alongside Ryouya Misato, a prodigal gymnast who was the runner-up in a junior tournament.

Now with a full six-man roster, the team sets out to compete in the upcoming Inter-High tournament. As he strives to accomplish this ambitious endeavor, Shoutarou must learn and master the basics of rhythmic gymnastics all while working in tandem with his new teammates if Shoushukan wants to stand a chance at claiming the title.
