| Why isn't there any big titles about girls doing shit like: playin' basketball, valleyball, swimming or even some fucking table tennis. Isn't it because of japanese men mentality and the fact that they don't want women be active and lead or maybe they think that no one's goning to watch it or what |
| surprising considering all the "bouncing" they could get away with |
| Because ecchi |
| Your honor, I never wrote this post. |

 |
| l once asked about sports anime with girls and they were or ecchi or with lolis |
 |
| Because when they do it comes out looking like this. |
 |
| Seriously, I need more Fault. Sports anime are mainly Shounen. Shounen are dominated by male characters, unless ecchi. Consider the demographic, and you'll see why it's not popular. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| My favorite sports anime is probably Chihayafuru, which has an (awesome) female lead (and she's not the only female). Ok, not your everyday sports, but its still a sport. http://myanimelist.net/anime/10800/Chihayafuru There's also Taishuu Yakyuu Musume, which is about girls forming a baseball club http://myanimelist.net/anime/5141/Taishou_Yakyuu_Musume. Bamboo Blade is about girls doing kendo http://myanimelist.net/anime/2986/Bamboo_Blade And there is more. |

| We can see girls playing basketball even in Clannad xD |
| I was thinking about this the other day and really wish there was more sports anime centered around girls' teams. Maybe some'll come out in the future |
| Yawara was pretty big back then. Attack n°1 and Attacker you! were also quite popular. But those anime are older than 80% of the current fanbase at least. |
| Do you really think anyone cares about female sports unless the girls are hot? |
| hmm not sure wat u mean there are plenty u jst have to look |
 |
| We do have womens basketball: http://myanimelist.net/anime/10572/Ro-Kyu-Bu! ^^ No but seriously - I would welcome it if they adapt some of the female centric sports titles like Beach Stars or Baggataway or even motherfucking Teppu. |

| there's also pretty rythm aurora dream about ice skating, and pretty much every anime about girls sports has been mentioned in this thread edit: did abit of searching and found a few more gems http://myanimelist.net/anime/1186/Battle_Athletess_Daiundoukai_%28TV%29 http://myanimelist.net/anime/10109/Softenni http://myanimelist.net/anime/19151/Walkure_Romanze Major123 said: hmm not sure wat u mean there are plenty u jst have to look lol 10 or so =/= plenty |

Asturaetus said: We do have womens basketball: http://myanimelist.net/anime/10572/Ro-Kyu-Bu! ^^ It's strange that this is happening again just like in the other thread sometime ago, but anyway...: Those are not women. Oh, and there's Ginban Kaleidoscope (has it been mentioned already?). It's from 2005, though. When I saw some official art of the anime and novel or manga, in some pictures, the female characters seemed to have been drawn for males, but I think that's all that one could have considered fanservice. If we're talking about appealing art, I think it was on MMPPP's level (although actually made for girls, some agree that at least the anime's female characters tended to have been created with male viewers in mind). |
| I know this is a troll post but I laughed a lot |
 |
| Yeah, pretty much what others said. If there was a female sports anime created in this year or so, it will probably be used as fanservice or loliservice. There's more created in the past, so you can just check those out. Face_Faith said: Oh, and there's Ginban Kaleidoscope (has it been mentioned already?). It's from 2005, though.

It was a shoujo series mainly, with a tiny sports aspect and it doesn't has the same feel as the other sports anime. |

| Waifure Romanze isn't that bad (but bad sadly), the jousting and armors are neat even if the concept silly but who cares. It's the fact the main girl is the worst girl that really brings it down. Celia-senpai is heavenly. |

| Anime is aimed at virgin teenager boys is why, they only want nonsensical fights and ecchi. |
I luv u |
Raito said: I'd love a proper sports anime with an all-anime cast. However sports anime with male leads really appeal to Fujoishis, which give these anime really high sales. Sports anime with male leads (like Major, Cross Game, Hajime no Ippo) also appeal to males and not to girls at all. lol I'd be interested in more anime that have strong females and males like Chihayafuru, Kuroko no Basuke (even though males > females in ratio) and hell, even Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki which isn't a sports but does great balancing females and males. |
| Because by today's codes of moe, girls have to be clumsy, dominated, dependant, physically weak and mentally limited, which is incompatible with sports. The concept of enterprising, successful woman does not appeal to otaku there. That's why most examples are from the past : Hikari no Densetsu, Ace wo Nerae, Attacker You, Yawara! |

| Sports Anime is already a niche genre to bring with, as most Anime series is clearly a hit or miss. Sports Manga and other literature does better, but the problem still lies with the fact that males and females in Anime have their own domains to frolic in. Being the small genre Sports is, female leads is probably just as tiny. Obviously seeing the two at once isn't going to be common. There are examples of this rare phenomenon like the ones mentioned by some of the people in this thread. |

It was a shoujo series mainly, with a tiny sports aspect and it doesn't has the same feel as the other sports anime. :O Even if it's just "tiny", it was an anime featuring female characters doing sports... I'm not sure if it can be called "shoujo" though because anime aren't divided like manga, but whether it's for girls or anyone else is unrelated to this topic unless I misunderstood something... umashikaneko said: Okiura said: Because by today's codes of moe, girls have to be clumsy, dominated, dependant, physically weak and mentally limited, which is incompatible with sports. The concept of enterprising, successful woman does not appeal to otaku there. That's why most examples are from the past : Hikari no Densetsu, Ace wo Nerae, Attacker You, Yawara! Well, actually the opposite is true. If you limit anime as otaku anime (lets define Late night anime that adapted from LN,VN,original,non-mainstream manga magazine as otaku anime here) then I can name more anime that have female characters play sports than male counter part.Very few otaku anime deal with sports anime that male character doing sports So basically you mean to say that if we differentiate between average and late night anime (and thus casual watchers and otaku), then most sports anime would be watched by casual watchers ("average anime") or at least not by otaku (late night anime)? And if we only consider late night anime, female characters in sports anime would outnumber the male ones, right? :O I'm not sure if I understood where the percentage is higher, but independent of that, I don't see a contradiction with the quote, unless the female characters in these (sports) anime are not weak and all that which has been mentioned above... Okiura said: Because by today's codes of moe, girls have to be clumsy, dominated, dependant, physically weak and mentally limited, which is incompatible with sports. The concept of enterprising, successful woman does not appeal to otaku there. Unless they're "badass" or tsundere and beating a male character or something~ Edit: Now that I think about it, if there were more sports anime with female characters, maybe there would be more female short-haired characters! <3 Or could exactly this be the reason for why there are so few...

Zeally said: no one mentioned Cross Game? But the whole point was that she couldn't play. |
SetsukoHara said: Zeally said: no one mentioned Cross Game? But the whole point was that she couldn't play. She did have an opportunity to play in a national woman's league. Of course she can't play with the dudes. Females just don't have the physique to throw 90+ mph heaters, but her pitching mechanics were better than most males in that show. |
| There are plenty of big, popular titles with female leads. Not sure about sports ones, though but I don't watch sports anime in general. |
umashikaneko said: Your English is almost perfect man, don't think you're bad at it. The way you wrote the above is actually really good English.Sorry I can't fully understand What you want to say because of my English skill What i wanted to say was that manga from general manga magazines have always had plotagonists of same gender as target audience traditionally most of the times maybe 19 out of 20. While modern otaku culture such as moe manga magazines,light novel(there have been LN for a longtime but LN have changed much after late night anime era so I would Call modern otaku culture),BL have much higher ratio of plotagonists who are opposite gender or harem(actually many shoujo manga have harem though) So blaming modern otaku culture for having less female plotagonists that play sports in male-oriented medium sounds wrong for me |

I've seen a very few anime where main female characters were actually humans and not just some fucking perverted conception of women. |
| http://myanimelist.net/anime/3081/Attacker_You! if you want some voleyball sh*t I loved to watch this as a kid. Not too successful in Japan iirc but in France lots of people know about it. edit: looked around for a bit it seems there might be a connection with Attack n°1? |
