Anima Yell!

- Season 1

(2018)

Becoming obsessed with cheerleading on first sight, Kohane Hatoya is downhearted upon discovering her new school, Kaminoki High, doesn't have a cheerleading club. Recognising student Hizume Arima as one of the cheerleaders she saw, Kohane decides to form her own Cheer Club, but finds that Hizume is unwilling to become a member.

Hizume begins training Kotone to build her physical prowess, giving her her old practice uniform. Feeling Kotone will improve better with motivation, Hizume follows Uki's advice and teaches them how to make pom poms.

With club activities on hold, Hizume and Uki try to help Kohane study for exams, though soon worry that she is too focused on studying. Having recruited three members, the girls are approved as an association and given the old AV room to practice in.

The captain of the basketball club asks the Cheer Association to cheer for them during a match. Noticing Kon's friend Kotetsu Tatejima showing interest in the association, the girls ask her to join on a trial basis.

The girls hold a welcoming party for Kotetsu before starting her off with some warm-up stretches and arm motions.

When the girls are asked to perform for the opening ceremony for a local festival, they decide to implement a Double Base Thigh Stand into their routine with Kohane at the top.

While Kotetsu worries about her weight, Kohane explains how she came to have her fear of heights. Later, as the girls go to a cheer shop for cheerleading supplies, Hizume asks the other for advice on how to get along with her classmates.

While remaining curious about Kana, who was part of Hizume's old cheer squad, the girls are asked to cheer again for the basketball team and try to come up with their own choreography.

With enough members to upgrade the Cheer Association into an official club, the girls assign Kohane as president and get homeroom teacher Inukai to be their advisor.

The Cheer Club is requested to watch over the manga club as they try to finish a manuscript by the next day. With a cheerleading tournament coming up, the girls go on a training camp at the beach, where Hizume has trouble getting close with Kana.

Seeking to help Kohane get over her fear of heights, the girls practice how to do a shoulder straddle. Later, as the girls pick out their cheer outfits for the tournament, they run into members from Hizume's old team.

The day of the cheerleading tournament arrives. As the girls go to perform, Kohane feels the pressure of living up to the other teams, but the others show their support, encouraging her to be her usual self.
