Definitely Prince of Tennis! I love playing tennis and watching that anime only inspired me to play more and do better...

So are you~ <3

I kind of lost track of how many casts there have been/still are. Can't keep up. XD;;

I gave up after the third one, since I couldn't download the myu's, because of my slow internet. );

Yes, Inui is definitely love. I always liked how they portrayed him on the musicals. All the actors that have played him do it really well. :D

Ah, I'm spamming. XD;; I better take my chat to the Tenimyu topic.

EDIT: I just figured out there is no Tenimyu topic. My bad, sorry~ ^///^;

1. Ookiku Furikabutte/Oofuri
Really really funny. A nice story. Great characters. Also a little self-identification.... well, it reminded me a bit of myself xD

2. Overdrive
I like cycling. I watch the Tour de France every year. Also a fan of Rabobank, so didn't like how they portrayed the team in the anime, but it was funny. The main character died on his bike, which I think was cool to see. That harshness of the sport is what makes it great!
Besides all that, really funny xD!

3. Eyeshield 21
I have mixed feelings about this one. I first read the manga and watched the anime later. I didn't like the anime, didn't find the animation that great. It was better portrayed in the manga. I'm only reading the manga now. Also very funny! xD

Seems like the keyfactor for me, is comedy! If it has sports and can make me laugh, I'll probably like it xD

The Classic Slam Dunk!!!
Why? I think it's the first sport anime that have depth storyline. And the main character was not the most powerful player in the team... Unlike other sport animes....

It's the only pro-team in the anime, I think. Though I wonder why Rabobank was chosen. There are lots of other teams as well... Oh well, it did make me a bit proud to see the Rabobank though xD

The famous Major! I've heard a lot about that one... About time, I start watching it.

Ookiku Furikabutte:
I love this show to bits and want Mihashi for a pet. This is pure classic shounen at its best; underdog finds his place as part of a close-knit team that work and sweat together to become giant-killers! With lots of laughs and chumminess on the way of course! To sum up, I am a serious Oofuri fangirl...

Slam Dunk:
Sakuragi is possibly my fave character of all time, he's such an adorable baka ^_^ This show does everything so great, the comedy, the sports, and the personal tales. Will always be one of my fave anime of all time. Such a shame the end of the manga series was never animated ;_;

Hajime no Ippo:
I really think, sports aside, this series really is a masterclass in anime production. Excellent pacing, suspense and comic timing. The action sequences are slick and a thrill to watch, plus the quality never lets up. You come to really like the characters (esp Takamura pfft), oh and the humour cracks me up bigtime - literal rotfl.

Others for which I can't be bothered to write a summary:

yeah slam dunks art is a stretch from the cartoonish norm. They actually tried to make it look realistic most of the time(when not goofing around or chibbing ryo-ken point getter sakuragi rival ect guy and the gorilla). I honestly didn't much care for it myself but I have to admit they did a good job, especially on faces and muscle tone... Waaaay too much sweat though, I swear they pasted it on with a brush.

Well said. My most favorite is Hajime no Ippo followed by Hikaru no Go and then Slam Dunk.

Slam Dunk is special for me since I have seen it a while back (5 years?) and really loved it and Sakuragi is also one of my all time anime characters. I have recently re-watched it (although first time in japanese) and it is even greater than I remember. The rest of the story which I read in the manga is awesome as well and yes it's a shame it wasn't animated. However, it got me thinking would it been as good as in the manga if it was animated? I don't know but I totally loved the last volumes of the manga.

On another note, I am really looking forward to watch Ookiku Furikabutte which won't be anytime soon since I want to wait for a better sub.

My favourite sports anime is the entire Ashita no Joe series. It has almost everything in there that I love - drama, tragedy, gritty action, tough luck story, bleak yet with a touch of hope, characters with personal flaws that are neither good nor bad - they just are.. human.

It's nice that they are fansubbing Ashita no Joe TV series so that more can watch and appreciate this classic sports anime. I understand that the slow speed is due to matters arising outside of their control that just crop up at the worst possible times.

In any case, I'm not waiting for them as I have the R2J DVDs of both seasons and both movies =) Yes, all original DVDs - not bootlegs not downloaded ISOs.

For me, it would surely be Prince of Tennis.

I started watching it since I don't know when. I've already got addicted to it ever since I've laid my hands on the manga version. That's why it's still PoT.

If i wanna add in football 1s, I would probably say Whistle! but I've never actually saw the anime, only the manga.

Since i haven´t answered this yet i will do it now.

Hikaru no Go and Touch would be my favorites. Major was also very good, but he started to be a little way to godlike so i´m not sure if i want to continue with season 4.

Here's a small question.. I also liked hikaru no go! but... it's counted as board game right? XD

I just caught up with some of the older sports animes like dear boys and i re-watched PoT and Slam Dunk again!

Awesome! Dear boys is just as good but... i'd rather have it longer XD
