Turkey Anime Surprises Fans: Bowling Girls Thrown Into War
The Turkey anime just premiered—have you even heard of it? Don’t worry if it didn’t pop up on your seasonal radar. On the surface, Turkey looked like just another show about cute girls doing cute things. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Turkey! An Anime about Cute Bowling Girls?
Yes, it looked like a sweet anime about bowling girls, with key visuals and trailers showing nothing but friends bonding over strikes and spares. Since its announcement, Turkey marketed itself as a typical slice-of-life show with adorable characters playing bowling. Take a look at its original trailer released just one month ago, and you’d believe the same.
The key visuals? All in on the “moe girl” aesthetic:
First visual? Cute
Second visual? Still cute
Third? No surprise—cute
Fourth visual? FIRE, BLOOD, AND CHAOS.
Even MyAnimeList has already updated the series profile with the dramatic new image.
Turkey Anime Bowling Girls in War
It’s a total twist, reminiscent of Zombie Land Saga, which famously hid its zombie theme until the premiere. Turkey pulls off the same kind of surprise.
The first episode is just as advertised—girls hanging out, bowling, dealing with small drama. But in the final moments, the main character throws a glowing ball… and suddenly, they’re teleported to the Sengoku era, in the middle of a battlefield. Heads roll. Blood spills.
Forget “cute girls bowling.” Now it’s bowling girls at war. Check out the real trailer that came after the shocking premiere—it tells a very different story.
