...or so I thought but apparently they are [redacted] /j

The anime stack of sports anime series with mostly all-male casts, yeah these are totally sports anime series trust me. I won't put the sequels because the stack is limited to 50 so yeah find them by yourself if you enjoy the series.

Criteria:
1. TOTALLY a sports anime
2. There are a lot of male casts
3. Story is basically about the teamwork and friendship
4. Rate isn't that bad
5. Show isn't too old

Will be always updated whenever there's a new series I find.

What I look for the most in an anime above everything else is high-quality writing. That's not to say that manga, visual novel, and light novel adaptations are written poorly; in fact, there are some that have incredible, masterfully-crafted storylines. I have simply personally found that some of the most unforgettable series for me have been novel adaptations.

Given that there currently exists no anime search option for this, the basis of this interest stack is to provide a list of full-length novels that have been adapted into series or movie format.

*Disclaimer: not enough space to add children's classics to this, go check out Nippon Animation's studio page if you want more!

Includes figure/ice skating, (rhythmic) gymnastics, dancing and so on.

Literally just every sports anime I have seen

Various sports compiled into one list of anime. If there are multiple TV-series with the same sport, be warned I just chose the one with a higher popularity. However, there are most definitely other sports anime you should check out such as Slam Dunk, Megalo Box, Ahiru no Sora, Tennis no Ouji-same, All Out!!, Ashita no Joe, Major, Ryman’s Club, Blue Lock, etc.

This stack is for people who love the Bishounen/Ikemen art style and/or characters.

Only includes anime i have personally watched and only the first season of them.

Not all of them are quality anime or good, my score reflects my thoughts about the anime but you're opinion may very well differ so don't let than stop you from watching the anime if it sounds interesting to you!

Animes focused on the world of entertainment, the music industry, different types of disciplines and art.

All these anime's include very shippable characters who mostly have no other person in the anime you could possibly ship them with. This is a marketing ploy because this makes anime/ships very popular as well as being apart of the lgbtqia+ community is not openly embraced by any Asian media. A lot of these anime's has novels, manga chps, side manga, official art, and drama cds that are very suggestive or downright very gay. They have all have very suggestive scenes in the animes as well including op, ed, end credits that are very fruity.

disclaimer: Includes anime with non-canon couples, non canon lgbt but all animes are gay coded in a way that queer people recognize. Also most have anime with canon lgbtqia+ characters

(Keyword : shonen-ai, shounen-ai, BL, boys love, gay, gay-bait fujoshi, queer-bait, fudanshi, josei)

Sports anime with male MCs/focusing on male teams or characters.

As the title already says, here are anime that fans of sports anime should watch. (I didn't include the sequences because otherwise, I would run out of space very quickly in this list.)

harems and nomance slice of life are not my thing

Hi, hello, and welcome! This is mostly a personal list, but I decided to make it public - after all, finding serotonin boosters can be difficult, specially if usual recommendations don't work for you. All of the stuff here makes me happy (some more than others, of course), and a lot have been watched more than once, more than twice, etc.

The reason why I created this stack is because I started rewatching a specific anime after 3 or 4 years, and found out it was 100% comfort material. I had forgotten that, though.
And I do not want to repeat that mistake!

If you like some of the entries here, chances are you may like the rest! But you also may not, we are all different!!! I generally adore idiot characters and found family tropes, so that's the closest to a theme that can be found here. But it is something!

Feel free to recommend me stuff if you liked what's here and think there is something similar I'd enjoy! But be warned, my PtW is enormous and I sometimes start watching things on a whim.

No further ado, lets get to it!

Anime with hot guys to steal the spotlight. Eye candy! 😋
Only one title will be displayed.
