As a sports anime targeting a young male audience, Keijo scored much higher quality than expected by fans. The cinematography and animation quality are great. This is probably what inspired somebody into bringing Keijo to reality.
But after over an year of progress documented on their facebook page Keijo Portugual, things didn't pick up in popularity. I guess it just didn't have enough BAM! without fantasy jiggle and battle physics.
You can still find some pictures from the group's training and whatnot.
