Both are top-tier shounen sport anime. In both series the cast is colorful and charming, the comedy is excellent and the story is impressively unpredictable.
A gift for sports fans, both series delivers themselves with competitive teamwork and plays that focuses on development. The main characters has a passion for the sport that they are playing and works towards their goal to becoming stronger each episode. Their teammates helps them along the way while tackling through difficult obstacles. It is realistic as we see how much the characters grow through their development over the course. I recommend both series especially if you're the type into sports with competitive team play.
Both of these series do an excellent job in keeping every episode interesting, while managing to keep the sports aspect very realistic. The character growth is consistent, the story progress is sensible, and the skill improvement is logical and practical. The large cast of supporting teams and characters are also given importance and properly developed. The two series differ in general atmosphere-- Haikyuu!! is more vibrant and lively, so it's an easy watch even for sports anime newbies; on the other hand, Diamond no Ace is a lot more laid-back and leisurely, and is probably more suitable for those wanting to dip further into the sports genre.read more
Both are sports anime. One is about volleyball and the other is about baseball. Both anime have highly passionate main characters who are aiming for the top.
You can say they are LITERALLY the same.
1. Main character generally sucks in the sport of his choosing, but has that one "special" ability which allows him to somewhat function
2. He is surrounded by teammates that are either as generic as they come, or also have some sort of a "special ability"
3. In both shows, MCs learn that special abilities aren't enough so they try to incorporate more stuff into their arsenal
4. Comedy is bit-by-bit the same type
5. Similar art and animation
6. Pretty unrealistic to the boot
7. High-school shounen sports
8. Both are also predictable to the boot
9. Both follow every cliche you can find in the sports genre
10. Both are easy and fun anime to kill your time
Differences? One is about Baseball while the other one is about Volleyball. read more
The main character starts with a team made of newbies from an unknown school.
The main character also is very skilled.
The main character goes to an elite school for the sport.
They are both freshman going into high school.
They both have rivals on the same team.
Only difference is that 1 is volleyball and 1 is baseball.
These two overpowering and rip-roaring sports shows contains the 'team work' in all its magnificence. With competitive, stubborn and hard-working main characters, both shows bring sports anime into a definitely higher level. Excellent character development, in high school setting.
The main characters are pretty similar. Both of them are passionate about their respective sports and are determined to become the ace of their teams. They also find themselves competing with a talented member on the same team. Both the shows focus on team work and partnerships within the team.
Both main characters are very talented, competitive, somewhat hard-headed, and are very enthusiastic about the sport they love.
Both MC's are often underestimated by others but always manage to surprise the people around them about what they can do and how much potential they really have.
Before they went to high school, both MC's were from middle schools that are no good in the particular sport.
One is about baseball and the other is about volleyball; however, both anime have that element of "excitement" that will leave watchers hanging after every episode. Both are great!
If you love one of these two anime you'll surely love the other!
Both series focus on the growth of the main character and the team. Very intense and exciting games where you cannot predict the results. Lots of comedy. Teamwork, trust, rivalry are just some of the aspects of these shows
Both have underdog protagonists that are optimistic, love the sport they play and have a lot of talent even though their experience in the sport might be less than most of the other players.
Both about a team sport.
Both about a partnership formed in the team and how they work together to overcome obstacle.
Though they both have a "main" protagonist, ultimately, both animes has two main protagonists that it develops over the course of the series.
If you like one, you would most definitely like the other.
> Both MCs are focused on trying to become the ace of their team.
> Both MCs has that one "special" ability.
> Both anime have a lot off character development.
> Similar art and animation.
> similar amount off excitement - both will make you jump out of your seat to cheer
Both are underrated (especially diamond no Ace).
When I watched this show, one thing constantly popped up in my head. That was, "This show is incredibly similar to Haikyu".
Not only do these shows revolve around high school sports, but the main characters are determined first years who are striving to be the 'ace' of their team. In an instant, they develop a rivalry with another boy but realize quickly that the team cannot do well without either of them. The main event of both shows is the yearly national high school tournament in which they partake, attempting to bring back their high school's former glory. With lots of practise and intense matches, both main character's skills begin to shine, gaining them acknowledgement from their 3rd year seniors who for them, this will be one of their last if not their last high school tournament.read more
Both anime are a lot similar where the main leads were inspired to join their respected sports. They slowly both strongly exhaled at it while earning the heart of the opponents and friends
If you like Haikyuu, you will also enjoy Ace of Diamond. The character relationships and love of the sport are very similar, and the intensity is no different between each series.
Both anime are sports anime where the main protagonist is focused on trying to become the ace of their team. Both Hinata and Sawamura have formidable opponents to compete with for the title of ace, and have prominent character development throughout the story. Hinata and Sawamura are both outgoing and charismatic characters who are beneficial to the team, even if they aren't in their preferred position. However, Haikyuu!! is volleyball and Diamond no Ace is baseball, but they share major key components, and both shows are very enjoyable.
If you like sports animes and loved Haikyuu like I did, then you will love Diamond no Ace, I hope! They're both sports animes that concentrate on a team that was priviously very famous but then went down, and those teams, through the anime, will get stronger! It also concentrates in more than one character that wants to be stronger, and those two characters will become stronger and give they're best to not be left behind by the other character!
I won't say more, if you wanna know more, please see the anime and I hope you love it, like I did!!!!!!!!
If you like enjoyable shounen sports series these two are very similar with one another. They have decent shounen writing and a lot of likable characters.
Haikyuu is a lot popular but Diamond no ace is just as good and sometimes better
Everything about these two anime are the same, except one is baseball and one is volleyball !!!
When I watched Diamond no Ace, the first thing I thought was "wow this is like Haikyuu!!"
Definitely would recommend! Both are very exciting anime!!
Diamond no Ace is similar to Haikyuu!! in that it is also a sports anime, that heavily involves a wide range of fluid animation, fantastic character development, great plot and overall lovable characters.
A plucky young teenager who loves to play sports enters high school and joins a sports club where he is discovered to be very talented (but does not possess super powers....Kuroko). The teen then meets his new tall and dark haired BFF/Rival and the two form a bond not only with each other but with the whole sports team. Along the way, the team struggles to reach the nationals and meets all sorts of other amazing teams and they (the teams) become rivals and form friendships which are reinforced by the training camp arc. Oh, yeah and both have great animation. In short, if you like the one you will post probably like the other..........probably.read more
I watched Haikyuu before Diamond no Ace because DnA never kept my attention, but OH GOD, I watched DnA in my bored mood, and I can say THAT ANIME IS THE BEST SPOKON, so I make that recommendation here because as like me, you need to give a chance to DIAMOND NO ACE, it's a masterpiece.
If I can give you a difference I can say that in DnA is more evident the rivalry in the same team, so it's a bonus with a lot characters that you can love.
You really feel with Sawamura and you'll wish his success. Ohhhhh, and the main character has also been MIYUKI Jajajaj!!! I love Miyuki and the person who always deserves de number of ace: Sawamura <3
Sometimes DnA reminds me to Naruto!!!! read more
It is an incredibly sculpted sports shounen anime that is solely about baseball. The plethora of characters, the relationships, the plot points, and everything else revolves around baseball but it is choreographed in a way that it is engaging to all audiences. Every character is given attention and development and the antagonism is so much more complex than simply the opponent the main team is trying to beat. It’s truly beautiful.
-both are sports animes
-DNA has more rivalries within the team rather than haikyuu's more friendly cast
-DNA focuses on the main team rather than going into rival teams as often
-haikyuu is much shorter than DNA
-DNA jumps into realistic expirences with baseball so it isnt as friendly to non baseball familiar watchers, but is still a lovely anime!
Both great sports anime that show the aspiration of an underdog on a team sport. I do like Ace of Diamond a bit more because I like baseball but they both make me want to play sports professionally.
If you love sports anime and haikyuu am sure you are gonna love diamond no ace ..it will make your heart warm...am sure you are gonna love sawamura and miyuki like you love hinata and kageyama...also their are so many other characters to love
Botha are one of the best sports anime. However, Diamond no ace has much more comedy than haikyuu. But overall i will say haikyuu is bettter. Still diamond no ace has its own best moments. Worth watching both.
I love both of these series, but I would say Diamond no ace focuses a bit more on the mental aspect of playing sports, while still keeping it's comedy aspect. If you're an athlete yourself (whether you've played baseball or not), I highly highly suggest it
First thing that can be mentioned pretty easy is that both of them are about sports and the second honorable mention is that in both animes you can see characters have been introduced to shows nicely and third is that both shows can make you come along with them well since they transport their emotions that flow on the shows very well to audiences.
Both of them are obviously from the sports genre. If you prefer characters that develop their skills or talent throughout the anime rather than those that already start as op, well these animes will work for you. The anime shows their victories but their struggles as well.
• Generally have similiar genres, but different kind of sports.
• These stories growth focus on some characters that are building the team, also the main characters have an unique characteristics. By the way, Ace of Diamond not intensely shows woman appearances than Haikyuu.
• The widely competitive, many characters and high goals are set in both.
• Last but not least, I think the music has similiar impact helping these series to living the stories.
They give out the same feeling as you watch them, it will give you chills and put you on the tip of your toes, whole in all a good story/animation anime
One thing I like about these two anime is that they all have semi-realism themes that don't need over-the-top edited techniques. Worth hyping, as well.
Both are sports anime that have similar character dynamics (Kageyama and Hinata) and (Sawamura and Furuya). The animes are comedic and have a certain nostalgia about them that makes you want to go back and rewatch it again. Compared to Haikyuu its easier not to get attached to other teams.
Both are realistic anime based on baseball. Both feature exciting scenes, an unpredictable plot and excellent comedy.
As for differences, DnA has a much stronger shounen element to it, with a huge and yet amazing cast, great music and an impressive number of scenes that really get the viewer fired up, while Oofuri is more technical, unique and original, and all in all has a very realistic feel to it.
They're both baseball anime with the main character being a pitcher, who's pitching got a certain quirk due to never receiving proper coaching. They're different in that Oofuri's Mihashi is the ace of a new established team and lacks self-confidence, while DnA's Sawamura joins a high school baseball elite school and is overconfident despite being no where near the ability of the regular members of the team.
Both are a story of pitchers coming from humble beginnings. While DnA has a more intense art style and longer episode length than Oofuri, oofuri is still an extremely cute and quirky show that shows teamwork much like DnA. Oofuri is honestly one of my favorite shows based on the main character alone.
Both revolve about baseball, the main characters struggle to work with new team mates. While both have opposite personalities, they still learn the true meaning of baseball, hardship, and friebdship throughout their journey as a pitcher.
Both are baseball anime, with pitchers as main characters, both baseball team struggling to reach koushien, both had a good balance in both everyday life of the players and gameplay, though personally I believe Ookiku focus a bit more on the former.
Both are comedy, sports anime centred around high school baseball. Both main characters (Mihashi from Ookiku and Eijun from Daiya no A) are pitchers. The catchers for both Ookiku and Daiya no A are pretty smart and they also get a lot of screen time. Ookiku has more detailed baseball rules explanations; Daiya no A is more light on the explanations and focuses a lot on creating tension, cliffhangers and comedy parts.
Differences:
1. Ookiku has a more laid-back and slice-of-life feel to it; both the art and the soundtrack. In this regard, Daiya no A has a kick-ass soundtrack and sound effects (a ball hitting the mitt, the batting sound, etc) are really stressed (adds tension to the scene and really makes it come alive!)
2. Ookiku's team is a newly-formed team with only 10 members, while Daiya no A's team is from a prestigious baseball high school. The supporting cast members are all great. You'll find at least 3 or 4 you'll like (and will bet that Tetsu captain will be one of them :p)
3. Daiya no A's pitcher is the opposite of Mihashi: loud, brash and confident. They do share one thing: both love to pitch and don't want to leave the mound. :)read more
big windup is a lot shorter than diamond no ace (this one's a long series) and has better animations, both are baseball animes and have that relationship between pitcher and catcher. the mc are polar opposites tho
The entire pacing and characters are very different from each other and share very few similarities regarding their own series, besides both being about baseball and only having two animated seasons. But if you love the dynamic between Mihashi and Abe you might find yourself enjoying the dynamic between Eijun and Satoru. And while Ookiku Furikabutte focuses a lot more heavily on each individual character, leaving no character left behind, Daiya is more of the quick paced, dramatized sports anime that many are used to and focuses mostly around the main character(s) and less of the supporting cast. Overall it's still very enjoyable and fun to watch!read more
Both heroes are hot-headed and only pitch straight balls. Also, both are pretty idiotic.
Goro is a massive baseball fan and one of the best players, while Sawamura knows nothing about baseball despite being a pitcher for a while and has to fully build his foundation.
Well, for starters, the two revolve around a guy who loves baseball and always is playing it. The main characters don't really care if their teamates are good or bad, they just want to play baseball. The two animes are great and you can't get enough of them.
Both anime are about baseball, both main characters are not intelligent however they are excellent at baseball and get stronger as the story progresses.
However Major focuses more on the protagonist while diamond no ace goes more in depth into the entire team and the other teams.
This same baseball have realistic on it and it's have great story line baseball and character have great development and with rollercoaster of emotion and had watching this two anime
In terms of excitement, these anime are top notch. Both manage to keep you on the edge of your seat with interesting games and plenty of suspense. Each has a cast of interesting and diverse characters that interact with each other beautifully.
There's also a decent amount of humor that lightens up each show while they compete against seemingly unbeatable teams. Their art styles both make the action seem more pleasing and impressive to view.
Lastly, they are (in my opinion) two of the best sports anime there are, with the only occupying the same top tier as them being Hajime no Ippo. If you like one, you'll most likely enjoy the other.read more
I watched Kuroko no Basket and was looking for a similiar one, then i saw a recommendation for Diamond no Ace. These two shows are a little bit different, dealing with different problems but they are just great in their own ways. I was not disappointed at all!
Both are about teamwork and personal growth with lots of comedy scenes and very exciting games
They both have great characters with the same passion for their respective sports, although Kagami is more similar to the main character in Diamond no Ace than in Kuroko. So they have a similar feel to them in terms of characters... somewhat (though none can match up to GOM, Seirin, or BaKagami). My first recommendation but I think it'll work!
Both are quite lengthy in episodes and series', also the theme is SPORT and about the struggles in achieving their goals. They each focus on team work as well as each character being able to improve.
Diamond no ace is a fantastic anime. In comparison to kuroko no Baske it has the same competitive feel of wanting to surpass your rivals and learning from the past mistakes. It also has that alluring suspense of when you don't know what's going to happen next or if they'll beat the opposing teams.
Both are sports anime, and both mc strives to make their team the best, although at the course of doing so, they will compete with rivals who are doing the same thing. Both are pretty fast paced, although I would say KnB is more fast paced. They have similar type of comedy and also have the same producer.
*Both are animated by the same studio.
* Both are sport / shouen series
* Both have a great way of develloping their characters
* Both stories are focused on a particuliar high school team and togheter they try to win a tournament.
* Both have great and immersive soundtracks.
* Both are recent anime ====> knb ( 2012) dna(2013) and still on -going .
Explores friendships, team work, hard work and dedication of each sports striving towards a common goal.
Difference being that Yowapeda is more character background-centric than Daiya.
Same basic passion for the sport. If you're not sold on at least watching sports anime, one or the other will probably sell you on them. Yowamush Pedal goes more on the side of showing crazy characters, but it's nevertheless a similar feeling. If you were told they took place in the same universe, you probably wouldn't be surprised.
Both are sports genre anime that don't rely on supernatural ability-like twists. They stress character development and aren't afraid to have the protagonist or protagonist's team lose in order to strengthen the plot.
Sports heavily dependent on strategy and trust in the ones on your team. Shows how your emotions can get the better of you if you don't keep yourself calm. A lot of simple mind games are played, meaning players try to read the other players actions before they do it. Because of this the games/races are very long analyzing every single play that makes a difference. Both anime are very technical
Reliable senpai-tachi, personal growth, teamwork, exciting and unpredictable gamesraces, rivalry, very good teams. I was reluctant at first, but had to admit that yowamushi pedal was a nice sport anime too, a little bit different from diamond no ace, but as much captivating. Comedy moments in both series
Both are sports-genre anime and have the same story line- Becoming a hero, becoming the main life line of the team from zero through hard work and struggle and with the help of friends. In each anime MCX has some good rivals with whom they work hard and continuously all they improve themselves.
Both series are similar in having :
• Countryside MC playing & loving his favorite sport : Baseball for Diamond, Soccer for Ao.
• Great teammate spirit, keeping his love for the sport and minding his mates.
• Having to leave country to go in Tokyo to play at an higher level
• MC have similar temperament, noisy, overjoyed, positive mind
Both are sports series where
- Main characters (MC) are trying to attend one of the nation's strongest clubs (high standards)
- MC has huge potential to be great but lack knowledge/skill and therefore are looked down upon
- MC need to work really hard to keep up with the rest of the members
- Really nice cast of characters / interactions and good animation.
So if you have seen Diamond no Ace and liked it then you'll probably like Ao Ashi too.
Well first they both are a sport anime, but I think if you enjoyed Ao Ashi you will enjoy Diamond No ace. The main characters have similar traits with both trying to be on the starting team.
Both shows have:
- Loud, hardworking, endearing protagonist with zero to hero development
- Elite team settings
- If you are noob to both sports, watching them gives you (sport) 101 class in such entertaining way
Both are sport related.
The MCs are shown to have immense potential which hasnt ripened at the start.
The MC are idiots.
Both animes have the similar story where the MC works really hard to come up with the 'not giving up' attitude.
MC ara quite similar. Both are idiots with great potential, who don't know thier true power. Storyline is similar as well..it's all about teamwork, selfconfidence, tournamets, though it's a sports anime, what else it can be about?)))
They are both written in the same way just one is baseball and the other is basketball.
Both mc start off as amateurs and are lovable idiots who go through tons of character growth in their respective series.
While other shonen sports anime have characters that are already decent at the sport they play, the mc in both these series literally start from the basics to work their way up and catch up to their rivals which makes the series very realistic. Ultimate underdog story
These both feature loud obvious sports players with immense potential. The main characters are funny, stupid, and loud.
They both feature a rival on their own teams and similar dynamics between both in each show.
Both of these anime are so similar in the characters to dialogue and character interactions, especially development of the main character in skill level and how the main character gets stronger and overcomes hurdles.
I promise if you love daiya no ace, you will def at least enjoy slam dunk. And vice versa
Both are about baseball and wanting to bring one's team to Koshien. Whereas Diamond no Ace is more about the sport and nothing but the sport, Cross Game brings a lot more to the table, such as drama and romance. Although I find both to be very enjoyable anime, Cross Game holds a special place in my heart...it is one of the best anime I have ever seen (go to my profile--I've seen A LOT of anime) and is definitely the best sports anime I've seen yet. If you like Diamond no Ace and baseball animes in general, you MUST watch Cross Game!
Cross Game and Diamond no Ace are anime series with a sports theme relating to baseball. The main male protagonist gets involved with the sport. Throughout both series, the main male protagonist trains himself to become better and earn a reputation.
There is competition in both series while also holding a degree of comedy.
They both also takes place in a school environment as the main characters meets both friends and rivals.
Diamond no Ace is an improved version of Cross Game IMO, not because the story is similar, rather because it deals with similar themes (growing up, hardship, being away from loved ones) while presenting them in a much more polished manner.
The baseball aspect is also much better explained and dealt with in Diamond no Ace.
Here we go: Days and Diamond no Ace.
They are not the same but do have some pretty cool points in common, that while watching Days reminded me of Diya no A.
- The main characters in both couldn't be more different from eachother to be honest but they are both surrounded by wonderful team-mates and the series dedicate quite some quality time to develop them all, or most of them.
- both main characters are enrolled in schools with a powerhouse sports club (being soccer's club in Days and baseball's club in Diya no A) which carries big experience and expectations from the audience of the anime characters
- let's also state the obvious, both stories are heavily sports focused (soccer and baseball in fact) and both have an adrenalinic rythm that lets you with suspance everytime that is needed
- ok main characters, as usual, always have more attention and screentime but i won't stress enough how much is also very important the whole team overall in both series, that is indeed the key element that make these two series very similar in my eyes. Both have greatly charming teams with intriguing characters, skills and personalities.
- somewhat curious and interesting enough in both series' team the Captain is incredibly unique, kinda quiet type (in Days with the addition of eccentricity tho), slightly even similar to one another by look and of course strong to the extreme!
That said, personally i believe they bring out similar vibes and joy.
If you already liked one of these, give a try to the other too! Probably you'll enjoy both!

Both anime are a lot similar where the main leads were inspired to join their respected sports. They slowly both strongly exhaled at it while earning the heart of the opponents and friends
Both feature a main character who starts off seemingly weak, but through persistence and their own talents, eventually become the core of the team's spirit.
One Outs is the most intense anime on baseball. It starts a bit slow, but then it gets into the game and stays focused on the mind games that a genius pitcher is plotting against a very wide range of talented or cheating adversaries. One Outs doesn't have the high school/college drama part, but its about another extremely talented pitcher who joins the team after being discovered in a rather shady business.
Recommended if you enjoyed the tension and the team work of the second episode of Ace of Diamonds
Anime about baseball just focusing more on strategy and psychology. While diamond no ace focus on growing stronger, one outs shows what would happened if you are strongest from start.
If you like Diamond No Ace you are bound to like baseball in general. As a show One Outs focuses more to the mind games involved in the sport from comedical point of view.
Both are related to sports- Free is dominate by swimming where as Diamond no Ace features baseball.
The sports genre of Anime is truly amazing!
It all comes down to those few seconds of you leaning into the screen with sweat on the edge of your seat wondering who will win and who will lose.
The action makes you want to scream in anticipation on both sides.
However a contrast between these two Anime is that Free! is a very fast pace sport because of swimming coming down to the winners being distinguished by a mere millisecond.
With baseball however the games can get drawn out as each inning is featured, however it shows the true connection of team playing and of working hard for a goal (the main goal in most baseball Anime is reaching Koshein stadium)
Each unique yet still the same in how amazing they are!
Definitely a must watch on both sides. read more
They're both sports anime with cool mc's the series is heavily based of their friendship/rivalary attitude towards the sport showing that they will not lose to each other. If you like cheering for the main character over the underdog kind of theme ya know with hot guys. :)
Baby Steps features a main character similar to Eijun Sawamura (from Diamond no Ace) by the name of Maruo Eiichiro. They are similar in that they are both diamonds in the rough in their respected sports but with hard work and dedication, they begin to make names for themselves.
Note: Although Baby Steps has recently started (first episode came out on April 6, 2014), I have read most of the manga so that is how I am able to make this recommendation. I'll edit this as more episodes come out.
Both of these anime are sports-based shows that follow a uniquely skilled main character that is surrounded by impressive talent. The main character tries their best to improve their own skills not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their team, friends, and their seniors on the team who have dedicated so much. I also make this recommendation because I really enjoyed both, so I thought that others would find a similar connection between them.
Both anime are about baseball, both main characters are not intelligent however they are excellent at baseball and get stronger as the story progresses.
However Major focusses more on the protagonist while diamond no ace goes more in depth into the entire team.

This is special recom for Asta fans. And here is why:
- Main character is same emotional and very loud
- There are also others very loud players
- Both Asta and Eijun are stubborn and oh well... both aren't too inteligent
In both animes there is the loud main character (Asta and Sawamura) and the silent rival (Yuno and Furuya).
In Black Clover Asta and Yuno want to become mage king and in Diamond no Ace Sawamura and Furuya want to become the ace of their team.
Asta has no magic but has a sword, and Sawamura doesn't have an good fastball but he has an moving ball.
Yuno has an four leaf clover grimoire, and Furuya has an amazing fastball.
It’s really easy to get into other kinds of sports anime if you love at least one, but I often thought while watching this show: “Diamond no Ace is the Hajime no Ippo of baseball”. The sense of humor and approach to the characters felt so similar, there’s no doubt that Ippo was an influence on Daiya imho.
Both series have great characters, a quick paced plot, and lots of comedy between the action. The art styles of both are unique and great, though Hajime no Ippo (season 1 only. The later seasons are made later and the art was cleaned up.) was made awhile ago so the quality isn't as clear. Don't let that deter you though, it's a great series.
While Diamond no Ace is about baseball and Hajime no Ippo is about boxing, both main characters follow a similar growth pattern. Both are from average backgrounds and through hard work polish their diamonds in the rough.
Diamond no Ace focuses on Sawamura Eijun, a pitcher scouted from a small town in Nagano to go to Seido High School, a famous school known for its strong baseball team. He learns from his upperclassmen the value of hard work while competing with another pitcher, Furuya Satoru, to get the ace number.
Hajime no Ippo starts with Makunouchi Ippo being bullied by his delinquent classmates. After being saved by Takamura Mamoru, a professional boxer, and taught how to properly punch, he discovers that he enjoys boxing and eventually aims to become the Japan Champion.read more
The main characters are both fools who want to reach for the top of their respective fields. They usually use their innate talent and determination to break through the barriers set by their peers, who look down on them. The main characters are arrogant and see themselves in high regards. All of their teammates see themselves as on their level or above their level. There's that girl who admires the ignorant main character without their knowledge.
Both anime are about baseball, both main characters are not intelligent however they are excellent at baseball and get stronger as the story progresses.
However Major focuses more on the protagonist while diamond no ace goes more in depth into the entire team and the other teams.
Gurazeni shows the life of Pro basketballers after they graduated and have entered the sports world! Diamond no Ace is about basketball during their high school days.
As a fan of Japanese Anime I find Gurazeni closer to life as the challenges Bonda (The main Protagonist) face are funny and fells real!
First you may say what are similarities of those anime if they are totally different genres? Well there are some, first it's sense of humour and lot's of jokes. Another one is that both of them are anime about young people that are exploring and learning life in different ways. And oh last but not least Sawamura is loud person, same like many of characters used in Grand Blue series.
Both tv series are about baseball!
More similarities:
- main character are stubborn and like to joke around
- there are much more male characters than females
- training and thinking about improvements
- harsh coaches
This series may be different because of sports that they cover but they still have some similarities.
- young men
- relay/team
- training
- rivalry
- friendship
- surprisingly both also got slice of life elements, backstories and are for more mature viewers
Both shows are about baseball. When Major 2nd is still "young" series Diamond no Ace already got 126 episodes. If you like Major 2nd then you will be more than happy to watch Diamond no Ace because it's better and more mature series. Diamond no Ace has better animations and voice actors did great job there.
Similarities:
- both Daigo and Eijun aren't the best players in their teams but they are developing fast, also they are both treated like "dummies"
- elements of training
- same sport
- rivalry for first squad place/rivalry for becoming Ace
- sense of humor
- matches with exciting action twists
Both feature main characters who are seemingly weak or untalented but then eventually find out that they have a unique talent that they learn to polish throughout the series. Furthermore, both have a sort of rival aspect between the seemingly untalented main character and another character the same age as them who everyone previously thought to be perfect (Nagisa v Karma, Sawamura v Furuya).
Just like Tsubasa - Eijun Sawamura is the best player in his hometown. But what will happen if he collides with higher caliber players in big town? Will his dream come true? Will he be an ACE?
Animations are similar, the pace is very similar to original Captain Tsubasa series, there are a lot of "special moves" same like in CT.
Diamond no Ace is one of top sports anime. It has already two seasons with huge number of 126 episodes! It's all about sport, friendship and hard work. If you like Captain Tsubasa series there is no way that you will not like Diamond no Ace.read more
If blue period is a series that deals with discovering your true talent and improving it to the fullest, diamond no ace is no different, the MC really pushed beyond his limit, and it is like more realistic of showing the struggles of getting what you really want. These two really lifted me up when I was struggling to find motivation. The character development won't you get dismayed and that is for sure! It is motivating and shares you the feeling of MCs
Same in a way that there's a lot of dynamic energy in the way these animes are made. Both the MC start at the bottom of the barrel but end up being a driving force for those around them. The MC both becomes an inspiration and a hurdle their other team mates want to surpass.
Both anime have strikingly similar protagonist-deuteragonist dynamics (Sawamura-Miyuki x Hinata-Kageyama) dynamics, but the similarity doesn't stop at that.
Both shows have:
- proper step-by-step MC development, where they show enough of their struggle to reach the top
- balanced spotlight between the main team and the antagonists, the wins and losses, the champions and the losers
- sport trivia and strategy to make it somewhat educative
- enough tension with the opposing team, but not too much to make them look like literal villain (you can still like your opponent)
Both Tatara and Eijun Sawamura are guys with natural talent but they are also hard workers. Also both of them don't know their full potential and they will be living in the dark if they don't meet people that will later help develop and bring full potential of Tatara and Eijun to life.
And yes like dancing, baseball is very competitive. In Ballroom you have people working together in pair to make a result. In Diamond no Ace you've got teams - group of people that want to achieve goal - start in Koshien National Tournament.
Similarities:
- Friendship
- Rivalry
- Love to sport
- Great animation
- Young people experiencing first wins and losses.read more
As for the main characters both of them loves the sport they are doing and do their best to improve themselves. Both has a strong will to continue what they are doing and not give up. Both of them enjoy rivalry.
This is another amazing sports anime that is made by the same studio that made Haikyuu, it is definitely worth watching. Personally my favourite sports anime at the moment
- Both are made by Madhouse and have protagonists who are talented but are still in the process of learning more in order to achieve their goal.
- In Chihayafuru, Chihaya wants to become the best player or the Queen; In Daiya, Sawamura (main boy) wants to become the main pitcher or the ace of his team.
- In both cases, they start off already somewhat strong. Chihaya has keen senses and good reflexes; Sawamura has an interesting pitch. But they're both learning how to become better to get to where they want to be.
- Both main characters are very dedicated to their respective sport and work hard.
- Both shows progressively show hardships and failures, and the protagonists learn because of their constant losses.read more
Despite one being a sports anime and the other being a superhero anime, both depict main characters who are persistent diamonds in the rough. They also both feature a rivalry between the seemingly weak main character and a side character of the same age who is super talented and skilled (Sawamura v Furuya, Midoriyama v Bakugo).
Are you a sports anime lover? Either yes or no, you are going to like both of those anime series! Why? Because you are going to fall in love with the characters of the series. Their appearance, their personalities, their relations with each other. You are certainly going to like the whole team, with it's diaries, the persistence of each member, and how they surprise you in the middle of the match, especially the ace! Both Sawamura Ejun - kun and Echizen Ryoma - kun will do surprise you, although their personalities are different. Also, both Sawamura - kun and Echizen - kun are players that have got the team's attention because of their talent, but they still needed improvements. The excitement you are going to have while watching cannot be described in words! read more
Plot in both focuses on baseball.
Another similarity is that younger brother is doing his best to play baseball as good as the older brother.
Not everything goes as planned.
Characters are trying to overcome their own limits.
Perhaps is early to make recommendations, but so far All Out shows some similarity towards Diamond no Ace
-They both give a realistic approach to sports anime, were hard work prevails over talent
-Both MCs are extremely optimistic, if you like Gion then you will totally love Sawamura Eijun from DNA
- Both shows seem to care so much about team work and they both have an interesting coach-team relationship
-Both are produced by amazing MADHOUSE
-Both have that touch of comedy that never hurts anyone :)
I dont know how much All Out will offer, but one thing is for sure, if you are enjoying this then you will totally fell in love with the masterpiece Diamond no Ace, a pretty underrated sports anime that deserves more attention from sports anime watchers. read more
Same sport, only with boys, and protagonist wants to become a pro, the series revolve around him becoming one step by step detailed. Ace expects you to know about baseball tho (at least that is the impression that I got).
The main character of both series give off the same vibe, they both love the sport they play with all their heart, and most importantly want to play it with their friends.
Other than that the comedy is also almost the same. The only difference for me is that Inazuma Eleven is about soccer and Diamond no Ace about baseball.
Touch is also an anime about baseball, but it's older, as it started airing in 1985. But don't be surprised or reluctant to start watching it, as it is very good. It's long, but a nice watch and includes other genres such as comedy, romance, slice of life. I really like Adachi Mitsuru and this anime is a good adaptation of his manga with the same name. If you heard of him or watched Cross Game, H2, you should really like this anime, as it is similar to them.
I watched both anime and both have almost similar traits in almost all aspects of baseball , except the them , where Ookiku focused tends to realistic-friendship wise , and Daiya no ace more to individuals term. However , if you like Daiya No Ace , I am sure you would also interested in Ookiku Natsu N.T.H.(theres a prequel too)
Both anime are about baseball, both main characters are not intelligent however they are excellent at baseball and get stronger as the story progresses.
However Major focuses more on the protagonist while diamond no ace goes more in depth into the entire team and the other teams.

Both anime are very similar even if they cover different sports. First of all both MC's are training very hard and they have turning points of careers. They are trying to do as best as they can with a little help of people around them.

Although Ping Pong the Animation is much shorter than Diamond no Ace, both tell compelling stories about rivalries in school sports teams. Even with no knowledge of the sports in question, the emotional journeys that the young players go through as they work on improving as both people and athletes are inpirational.
The team evolves and works togethor to overcome the enemy teams. You become emotionally attached to the characters because of their effort. The enemies are quite likeable too. If you liked Diamond no ace you will probably like haikyuu.
Watch the 1st season first , it didn't let me recommend the 1st season.
Have fun!
Both of those shows have few similarities. First it's hard workout and rivarly, other one is that main character want to realize his goals and he is evolving. If you like Baki you should check Diamond no Ace. Of course "sport" is different here but... tension and fun of watching it is the same.
