Try Knights

Nippon Television Network Corporation's (NTV) late night anime programming block which began in July 2017.

...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.

Bromance, Male friendship, Rivalry, Ambiguous ambiance, Fujo-bait you know where it lead. There is a ton of series non shounen-ai/BL tagged that contains "I SHIP THEM" or "SHIP HAS SAILED" moments.
(male) Characters have strong emotional bond that fujoshi particularly enjoy.
Trying to avoid the already Boys Love tagged entries since everyone can find them.

For the inner masochist in you! The 40 lowest rated, completed, full-length anime on MAL of at least 10+ episodes, updated at the end of every season. Minarai Dive is considered a + because of it's borderline anime status and odd length episodes, and Dimension high School is a + for being partially not anime.

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)

The YouTube channel Mother's Basement has released a number of "Worst Anime of <year>" videos wherein the host roasts (and often demolishes) the worst anime of the subject year. This interest stack is a compilation of those anime from the years 2018 thru 2022.

As formatting and links are frowned upon in interest stacks, you can find the actual review videos in my corresponding blog post. You can also just search YouTube.

Shows are listed in historical order. The year is noted and if appropriate or helpful or amusing, one or more selected quotes from the review are included as well. [I will also interject when the need/desire arises. -ed.]

2018 through 2021 are presented as a list of five worst of the year 1 (worst) > 5 (least worst)

2022 is presented as an "awards" show - not the kind of award to hope for.

I only use these reviews to help eliminate, or at least decrease the priority of, shows on my watchlist. Sadly, I'd already watched a number of these shows before I saw the reviews. I offer this stack in the hopes that some of you may spend more time watching entertaining shows by avoiding some real stinkers. Or if you enjoyed some of these, more power to you.

I watched all of these anime during Summer 2022

Top anime (in my opinion)

New in Summer 2022:
Top 1 KUMICHOU MUSUME TO SEWAGAKARI, the story is about a yakuza gang member who is ordered by his boss to look after his boss's daughter, the plot is good, cool, slice of life, there are funny and sad things too
Top 2 ISEKAI YAKKYOKU is also a good story, the MC is from the modern world who dies in his sleep and then gets reincarnated into an Isekai, well the storyline is very typical of Isekai but I think it is interesting and unique because it is related to drugs, illnesses and the MC opens a pharmacy in another world and makes various kinds of medicines , it is discussed regarding tuberculosis, bubonic plague, influenza. Even though the theme is isekai historical magic, the situations and responses of the people are similar to real life situations, especially during the bubonic plague arc
Top 3 KAMI KUZU IDOL is also interesting, it's a funny story about a male idol but he doesn't intend to be an idol, he's too lazy, suddenly you can see the ghost of a female idol who is cheerful and enthusiastic, the ghost can enter the boy's body, so the guy's personality changes

Sequel:
SHADOWS HOUSE is interesting in the second part, from the first part it is also unique because the story is about life in a shadow house without a face who lives with a living doll (as the face), starting to reveal a mystery and the dark side that is in that house, the opening is also the best, it fits really well. Same as the anime story

Completed Series:
KAKEGURUI TWIN even though it only aired this season only because Netflix adapted it so the story about gambling at school immediately ended, it's a shame the ending is left hanging, the live action has come out first, the live action storyline is the same as the anime n it's more complete because there is a continuation of the ending of the anime

Movie:
CONAN MOVIE 25 about Furuya Rei's past and his friends who were in the police

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

Anime where the main themes are high school sports teams. A variety of series that cover different types of sports and different genres. Note that a lot of series in this list are targeted toward female audiences please check the demographic of the series before watching if this affects your choice of sports anime.

First part of an exaustive list of all kinds of sports anime.
Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/49228

Here, you will find anime about:

- Football
- Rugby
- Basket
- Baseball
- Volley
- Beach volley

Get into the Olympic spirit with these sport anime! All titles on this list feature sports that appear in the Summer or Winter Olympic Games.

Major sports leagues (football, baseball, basketball, soccer) are excluded to make the list more Olympics-focused. While hockey is also a major sports league, there is only one anime so it was kept.
