Chargers’ schedule release video is filled with anime references

There are few things more boring than NFL teams’ schedule release videos. Published in the dead of the NFL offseason, they’re usually a desperate attempt to inject content and opinions into the news cycle during a time where there’s really not much going on. If you are wondering what a “schedule release video” is, it’s exactly what it sounds like — a video in which an NFL team announces the 17-game schedule for its upcoming season. And it’s almost always extremely, extremely boring or corny.

Well, usually that’s the case. Los Angeles Chargers, however, are not. built different.

You have just provided good content. You’ve got references to One Piece, Naruto, The Last Airbender: Avatar, Food Wars and Attack on TitanYou can also find mecha anime and many other things.

SB Nation has the perfect video for you if this has made it more difficult to see NFL schedule release videos. They ranked the best ones from 2019 (the Chargers excelled once again, with a reveal composed entirely of stock footage), 2020 (including the Lions’ Animal Crossing-themed one), and 2021 (the Chargers once again killed it with a PowerPoint-themed video).
