Enjoy watching people play sports and have them use "powers" to help them win their matches? Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis each contain their share of "strive to become the best player". They're also not very realistic, in that many characters achieve extremely difficult/amazing skills. Whether you like or don't like either sport, you'll still enjoy the "become the best" parts in both.
Pretty much both anime revolve around the rise of a young superstar and their path to their respective sports' ultimate championship game.
both sports related!!! and very good animes!! i love the characters..
both are sports anime, and has hilarious moments
Both are very long sport anime about school teams participating in competitions that get increasingly more difficult. Lots of interesting characters, very exciting plot, some humour.
They are both intersting, fun to watch, and have awesome characters. They are both sport anime, and trust me even if u dont like sports at all and u r looking for something good to watch I definitely recommend them both to you. Not to mention they both make names to thier moves [well atleast most of the time].
Both are sports animes. While the main focus of Prince of Tennis is tennis (duh), Eyeshield 21 focuses on American Football. The main characters are also completely opposite of one another. However, after finishing Prince of Tennis, I craved more sports anime which led me to Eyeshield 21. I highly recommend both animes if you haven't seen them yet!
Both have unrealistic moves and powers to help them with winning, and they are both long running.
Also a sports anime, also builds strongly on nice characters.

PoT and KnB can be considered somehow similar:
- both are shonen series of sports genre (despite PoT deals with tennis, while KnB deals with basketball)
- both are about good friendships and the importance of the teamwork in order to win
- among all the sports series, both of those are between the most commercial ones and very likeable stories.
- the characters in both of them have "special techniques/powers" who make everything even more interesting
- still, both are quite addicting, have a gorgeous art style and a very skilled cast of seiyuus.
Despite being about two different sports as you'll have a chance to see, they have some important points in common!
If you liked one of those, give a try to the another as well! It will worth it!
Highly recommended both, they are great series.
They are about sports and have good characters that have resemblances between them. Bth are really good and addicting ^^
Both are amazing sports anime, although they do have their differences. The character personalities clearly differ. For example, the main character of "Kuroko no Basket", Kuroko presence goes unnoticed most of the time, he's polite and he doesn't have a natural talent for playing basketball. While the "Prince of Tennis" main character, Ryoma is quite hard to miss, has a natural talent for playing tennis, and is cocky, often shown by the way he taunts players with his catch phrase "mada mada dane." Although, both main characters differ, they are the same in the sense that they both have a love for the sport that they play. An obvious difference in the 2 shows is that their both playing completely different sports (one being tennis, the latter being basketball), but even though they both follow a story line consisting of 2 very different sports, both series allow for the viewer to bond with the show and come to love the sport that's being played as well. If you love predominantly sports based anime's like then you should check out these 2 anime's.
Both are sports anime with lots of characters that all still get good characterization.
The sense of humor in both series is quite similar too, as well as the plots and counter-plots while playing a match.
both are of the same shounen, sports genre, but different sports altogether
both male protagonists join a school for their favourite sport.. tennis/basketball
both animes show the importance of friendship, rivalry, teamwork etc
both animes sports groups/clubs, have special talents/skills/powers that make each of their individuality, making them better than others, making them elite.
both anime plots are roughly the same, both male protagonists want to be the best at what sport they play, and both animes are surrounded by a full comedic cast of supporting characters
if you liked one you will probably like the other in terms of sports and special moves/skills and winning to be the best.

they're both über addictive and the stories both have substance. coO_Oolness!!!
Sports are entertainting.
Major S1, 2, 3 ,4 and PoT are all sports related anime. Like PoT's Echizen Ryoma, Major has an arrogant but likable male lead Honda Goro. Hence you don't have to suffer through those sports anime with depressing and low self esteem lead characters. Furthermore, the matches in both anime are interesting and shows character development. Both of these are on the top of my sports anime list.
Both are sports where the main character is already super powerful. They both focus on the team rather than just the protagonist. They have the same kind of feel and both series have a lot of episodes
ryoma echizen ---> sato toshiya
Tezuka ---> honda goro
beacuse echizen admire tezuka sam as toshi admire goro and same time admit as rival

they're both sports anime, and really humorous
Sports related. Life and pasts of the main characters, hardships of others teams.
Basically the same thing but with different sports. Slam Dunk is a little more violent though.
well, these stories are both about sports and how the protagonist of each series becomes a better person. and besides they both teach us the value of friendship and the importance of working as a team.. .
GO team! :)
Both have a mix of sports and comedy.

While the skills of the main characters are on opposite ends (one being pro quality and the other a beginner), both series follow the road to the top. Both series give great history on the designated sport so if you're unfamiliar with it, things will be explained throughout each episodes. Comedy is also thrown in every once in a while. Don't like sports? Don't worry, you don't have to!
These two anime are very similar. first off, they're both sports related, and secondly they have a similar storylines. Dispite this, each has very unique parts. If you like one of them, definitely try the other!
Both of the are the best Great sport anime

Well, the aura of competition and the amazing abilities of the main character seem to be the same. The progression in revealing the character and skills of the main character seems to be the same, as well. The main differences are that One Outs is much more adult in content and tone, and we're dealing with more of a team sport since it's about baseball rather than tennis. The characters in One Outs are much more adult-looking as well, but I believe some people (OK, I mean women especially) can definitely find something to feast their eyes on! In addition there's quite a bit about gambling, both in the strict sense, and as a personality trait.
the main charcters have the same personality.. they're smart, arrogant, very good at tennis/baseball and they enjoy playing strong opponents... plus the matches they play have a good tension, they get to meet unique players in each of their matches.... uhmm.. there's quite a few psychological stuff in POF and but its mostly on One Outs... they're pretty good shows =)

Both title's are sport related ... while Dan Doh is about golf, Prince of Tennis well you guess ;)
In both animes the main characters are gifted in that sport that they play, and they geting better and better, we can say they are prodigy's.
Other than that they use various super powers while thay play, and also calling their attacks like "bullet dragon" and "cyclone smash" etc ...
But as they play in tournament's they make friends and rivals, who helps them later on.
Also about sports, with a prodigy as the main character who gradually evolves as the anime continues. Both great sport animes!

Both animes are extremely over-exaggerated and unrealistic with their techniques, but you know what... who cares!!! They are extremely fun, enjoyable, and very easy to get into. It feels like you're watching Dragonball Z and Sports coming together as one.
they are both sport animes with superhuman moves.

Both anime is based on teams trying to get into the nationals by defeating other schools.
And they both got in the nationals
-Main character is really good at the sport/game they are playing,
-aim to enter national tourney
-doesnt matter if u like tennis or mahjong, you'll enjoy the anime either way :)

Both are series about middle school kids playing tennis and aiming for the Nationals. Prince of Tennis is about boys' tennis, while Softenni is about girls' soft tennis.
Both are about tennis, and a group aiming for the nationals.
Warning: Softenni has MUCH MUCH more comedy than Prince of Tennis.
|
|
|
Both have different sports that are placed in a new light.
Both animes are supplement to each other, focus on sports and both has an epic moments in them.
|
|

If you like Sport anime, I highly recommend watching Whistle!
it's the same when the 2 different main characters wants to push themselves to the limit to beat that someone

Oofuri is a sports Anime... It's about Baseball.. While Prince ot Tennis, like the name tells us all, is about Tennis.
And as real Prince of Tennis fan I can say that the sense of humor (and especially the gay moments..) in both series are very similiar, sometimes even the same.
Ookiku Furikabutte offers lots and lots of awesome characters who develope their personalities over the series and who you learn to love and hate, and so does the Prince of Tennis.
In any case, it's both worth watching it!
They are both anime revolving around sports. Also, they are both pretty funny. It's much shorter than POT, so if you don't have time to watch 100+ episodes, this would be a good show to watch.

Ryoma (PoT) and Takumi (Initial D) are pretty much the same person. One plays tennis and one is a street racer, but they're both aloof prodigies that pull out new miracle techniques whenever they need to, who were privately groomed by their "retired" fathers. ;) So even though the sport, setting and animation styles differ dramatically, if you liked the basis of the story or the main character in one, you'd probably like th other.
Prince of Tennis and Initial D, at times, feel almost like the same story except one is about tennis while the other is about driving/racing. Both main characters are young "geniuses" in their respective areas due to being trained unknowingly for years by their legendary fathers. Both Echizen and Takumi didn't have much "love" for their sport in the beginning but ended up really growing up as characters. They both also include a large cast, with various teams they encounter and need to defeat, etc. The pacing and anticipation for each battle/game are also quite similar. If you enjoy one, chances are you'll enjoy the other as well.

both of these animes have sports in them but princess nine is like the more feminine style. they both have two extraordinary players who are comitted to their playing. one plays tennis while the other baseball.princess nine has a little bit more romance in it. you would have to like sports, school life, action and a little bit of romance to enjoy both these animes.
Both animes about a character that has extremely good skill for their age/who they are. Princess Nine deals with a female girl with very good skill, while Prince of Tennis deals with a young bot with extremely good skill.

The same type of anime, characters, atmosphere only it's about tennis !
I think 100 of the people who like Major will love PoT!

prince of tennis and major are very interesting animes since its center plot is about sports, and not just any sport, but the best sports in the world(tennis and baseball). if you want an inspiring anime with a lot of cute guys then you must try this. it will never let you down, every episode is very good, i must say its a masterpiece.

Both are sports and have a younger member trying to reach the top. Also the lead is very talented and determined; people just seem to be so amazed.
The music sounds similar, sometimes the animation seems similar.
Only difference is that Fly High is a little less dramatic and shorter.

dear boys similar to prince of tennis, b/c they are both based on sports, and they have the same competitive work hard spirit. in dear boys the sport is basketball, but like in prince of tennis it has the character building in the premise of the story. if you like prince of tennis you will like dear boys.
|
|
|
The character stereotypes are the same, and even the designs are similar. Otherwise, they are shows with a great amount of good looking guys engaging in school activities.
|
|
|
Both have sports teams that work together led by a small child prodigy.
|
|

Although quite different in nature, active sports against strategic table game, but the anime is very similar in intensity, and its ability to capture one's interest.
It starts out differently, a boy beginning from scratch in playing Go, with direction and support of divine nature. But as the story goes on, the character is discovering his own talents trying both to beat his main opponent, his teacher, and discover his own strengths.
Very similar to the Prince of Tennis in a way the games are set up. Matches remind us of duels and the opponents striving for their win, coming up with their techniques, new moves and ways to surprise and beat each other.
It's a great anime, not quite as long, but not a second of it I found wasted when I was watching.

They're both sporty anime, about the main character getting stronger physically and mentally as the story progresses. Of course, the main characters happen to become friends with amazing people who help them in their process of getting better in their sport. Both have good humor.
