Prince of Stride: Alternative is a sports anime series that aired in 2016. The show takes place in an alternate version of Tokyo, where a sport called Stride is immensely popular. Stride is a relay race where teams of six run and navigate obstacle courses while jumping over obstacles and performing acrobatics.

The show centers around the Honan Academy Stride Club, which was once one of the best Stride teams in Japan. However, in recent years, the team has fallen on hard times and is struggling to qualify for tournaments. The team's captain, Heath Hasekura, is determined to revive the team's glory days and recruits a new member, Nana Sakurai, who has a talent for parkour and acrobatics.

The show follows the Honan Academy Stride Club as they train and compete in various Stride tournaments, facing off against rival teams and overcoming personal struggles along the way. The team consists of various characters, each with their own unique personalities and struggles. The main character, Riku Yagami, is a former track and field athlete who joins the team after being inspired by their spirit and determination.

One of the unique aspects of the show is the way it blends sports and action anime elements. The races themselves are fast-paced and intense, with the teams performing flashy stunts and showing off their athleticism. The show also features a lot of character development, particularly for Riku and his personal struggles with feeling inadequate compared to his teammates.

The voice acting for the show is top-notch, with Bryce Papenbrook, Chris Patton, and Jason Liebrecht all delivering great performances as Riku, Heath, and Kyosuke Kuga, respectively. The animation is also impressive, with the races being particularly well-animated and choreographed.

Aside from the action and character development, the show also features a romantic subplot between Riku and Nana. While the romance is fairly understated and doesn't take over the show, it adds another layer to the characters and their interactions.

Overall, Prince of Stride: Alternative is a great sports anime that blends action and character development in a unique and enjoyable way. Fans of sports anime, action anime, and character-driven shows will all find something to enjoy in this series.

Prince of Stride: Alternative is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between January 5, 2016 and on AT-X
