| I've never really been interested in sports anime but I would love to see something that involved extreme sports. You know...skateboarding/snowboarding/bmx/whatever. Sadly though I'm not aware of any that exist (please feel free to tell me if you know of any) and I think it's an untapped area of potential that could be something great especially with today's fancy modern animation. So what do you think? Would you like to see an extreme sports anime? |

| yeah sure.. if you count racing:Capeta,Initial D you can watch Hajime no Ippo which is boxing or Grappler Baki which is with a lot of fighting |

LouM said: yeah sure.. if you count racing:Capeta,Initial D you can watch Hajime no Ippo which is boxing or Grappler Baki which is with a lot of fighting Racing is sorta close to what I'm looking for...but again something more like skateboard/snowbaord/bmx/rollerskates/FMX. Something that involves doing stunts for the sake of doing stunts. And I'm not sure anyone considers boxing an extereme sport. |

| Eureka 7 has skateboarding in the sky though RideBack if i remember right is about motorbikes racing Redline can be considered extreme car racing |
| Air Gear is really extreme. Hajime no Ippo can be sometimes as well. :) Overdrive is one I've heard is extreme but don't know much about. |

| WHAT?! Ain't a basketball anime enough for you to satisfy your daily yaoi desire? |
LouM said: you will hardly find anything the sort you are looking for.. i know a snowboard manga tho but havent read it also Air gear Well that's my point, I think it's something that hasn't really been explored but could be great. Ok...so there's that, but what else huh? (I might actually watch this, though it does look a little bit...fan servicey) j0x said: Eureka 7 has skateboarding in the sky though RideBack if i remember right is about motorbikes racing Redline can be considered extreme car racing Once again, I don't mean racing. Something more along the lines of someone flying up a half pipe and pulling a sweet backflip :p |

Pfft, Haikyuu didn't have nearly enough butt stuff. |

What?! Isn't that more than enough? |

There are basketball sports like Slam Dunk and Kuroko. Tennis but I haven't seen any of them. Maybe Kinnikuman II Sei? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIDVMcjHKVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRwJvOm395E |

Sure, just make it so the local youths have to win the big extreme sports competition and beat their snobby rich rival so they can save the rec center from being demolished. You know...like all those crappy movies in the 90's. |

| Yowamushi Pedal. I'm currently watching it to prep for the 3rd season that will air this Winter. It's very hard to stop watching (but I do love sports anime). Hajime no Ippo is intense too. |
| I don't really want extreme sports or such in anime, at least not in a way like "oh, look, a quintuple salto, kakkoiiii!" Well it is not cool automatically - because it is drawn; it is cool when it is for real, real people actually achieving that, and doing it so well that it looks like effortless(ly) ... I always admired good gymnasts, dancers, jugglers, any such performance based in controlling their own body almost beyond belief... Drawing that is, well, so what ? Anyone can draw a pyramid that is 5 times the size of Cheop's . That does not make it cool in any way. The cool thing is when you see those real Great Pyramids of Giza*, the awe is in them being real. That does not mean that characters in anime, or even more in games, should not move "cool" and be able to do quintuple saltos and such - it is just that it should not be confused with/for the real thing. If an anime show has nothing else to offer but such stuff, then to me it is (hopefully) like a music video, no meaning beyond good rythm / going nicely along with its soundtrack - that then is all. Compare to nature/ wildlife documentaries - would you want to watch the "real thing" or an anime version where everything is "even cooler" ? ---------------------- * just had the most ridiculous typo there - now I wonder what kind of anime "The Great Pyromaids of Giza" (Gizaa/Giiza) would be like. :D |

Bobby2Hands said: Wouldn't that mean that all sports anime are bullshit because you could just go watch real sports? When it has nothing to offer beyond depicting the sport, then most likely yes. I am watching football, street cycling and also biathlon. When I want to watch any of that sports themselves, I'll watch the real thing. I would only watch anime where such sport is the "background", where it is about sth. else. And typically teamsports anime are more about the team, the characters growing from the sport, from being part of a team, and so on. And like I said, even when it is nothing but the sport (or fight, or some such) it could still be an enjoyable thing, roughly in the way I enjoy a music video, or also video game "action" trailers. edit - if ping pong had been about just ping pong, and nothing else ... I wonder if anyone would ever have heard of it. (exaggerating) (edit - grammar, typos) |

| Olympics anime. Sure, then we can have it all. We have Yuri on Ice, Yowapedal,...it's just a matter of time. |
 |
| Kuroko no Basket is pretty extreme. Just look at all those special moves! |
| it always fun to look into new sports but it seems like the animo creaters don't care about extreme sports |

|
| Kokou no Hito is a bit too long but Kamigami no Itadaki has only 5 volumes and it is very good to make an anime out of it. Anyway i don't think extreme sports anime would sell well so it's highly improbable that we will see one. |
 |
| The only skateboarding i've seen in anime so far is the K Project series, where one of the characters skates around to get places. To my surprise it was pretty dope the first time seeing him do a line, but it quickly became cheesy lol |
 |
| @Bobby2Hands Extreme ironing. LOL Nobody who makes anime has experience with that, and it would require budget to get in contact with sources for adequate info. j0x said: Surfboarding*Eureka 7 has skateboarding in the sky though |

| @Bobby2Hands There's a handful of mixed martial arts anime. While that's not tackling the environment, it is an extreme sport. Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? is a games series that has numerous sports within it that can be pretty intense. Then there's silly extreme like Saki - you will never have realized how epic mahjong could be, until you see all these friggin super-powers at play LOL |

| I think you'd have better luck in the manga department. Unfortunately it seems otakus are not really into extreme sports. Recently saw this commercial for samurai doing extreme sports that would make a badass anime though lol |

It is the only series which I would donate to if I could. Damn it.. But I think we should be grateful it's still alive. like the latest chapter came after like 6 months+ holy shit I thought it died ;-; |

Isn't that an Anime where people go rollerblading and have sex with each other? |
 |
| No, they go rollerblading with plenty of partial nudity, I don't remember actual sex being involved. |

Seiya said: It's a rather generic battle shounen quite similar to Fairy tail (less frequent nudity but more exposed and in your face), from the little shows we have in common I doubt it is your genre.zal said: No, they go rollerblading with plenty of partial nudity, I don't remember actual sex being involved.

It was a nice show, I would like to finish the story one day when the manga is fully translated.zal said: Wasn't capeta's manga cancelled? That's what I read online after finishing the anime. Canceled? Um about the official series; is Obvio completed and looks dope. The scanlations were having trouble keeping it up. I Also thought it died only to scream my heart out at class when I got an updated chapter after half a year 😂 |

| Giant Killing, Baby Steps, Yowamushi Pedal, Diamond no Ace, Haikyuu!!! those are the best sports i watched so far planning to watch Major though. i didnt add overrated anime like Kuroko no Basuke because almost everyone knows that. Currently watching Yuri on Ice btw i really like sports anime though. |

| Keijo!!!!!!!!!!! is very extreme. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| BMX: https://myanimelist.net/anime/1316/Idaten_Jump Aside from that I only found some random unsubbed stuff like https://myanimelist.net/anime/2740/Monkey_Turn https://myanimelist.net/anime/9748/Kaze_wo_Nuke https://myanimelist.net/anime/19943/Eikou_e_no_Spur:_Igaya_Chiharu_Monogatari I'm afraid Idaten Jump is the only BMX one and aside from that there's only Air Gear for rollerblading and that's about it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
