What part of Haikyuu is unrealistic exactly? Especially the part that makes it less realistic the Goro's 100mph gyroball, a pitch that really doesn't exist especially at that speed. And Prince of Tennis is more realistic than KnB?!?!? Like do you watch sports?

KnB is unrealistic. Don't see any leeway to argue against that.

Yes. Most of the things in KnB are not impossible but they are improbable, hence why it's unrealistic.

I get that, but if you've seen Prince of Tennis it shows things that at the absolute least we've never seen achieved in any capacity. KnB includes actions that are totally plausible, that we have seen done before, then it exaggerates them.

Yeah that's why I said Prince of Tennis should be above KnB.

When it comes to anime, "Game" genre tends to do with getting trapped in a video game, so it's probably best to lump the physical game animes together with the sport ones, including that one about Go as well.

Here's sort of the hierarchy from most unrealistic to realistic, roughly:

Kuroko no Basket
Prince of Tennis
One Outs (doesn't even feel like a sports anime)
Eyeshield 21
Haikyuu
Major
Ping Pong (haven't watched much of this but I'd put it here)
Hajime No Ippo (have not finished)
Slam Dunk

I've excluded sports anime that are more about drama than sport.

What makes Kuroko the most unrealistic? All it does is exaggerate everything they do to make it more enjoyable, it should be near the lower ones.

I think you ranking is inaccurate.

Prince of Tennis has balls being on fire and secret moves and such. I would put it at the top.

One Outs is more realistic than EyeShield21.

Ping Pong is more realistic than Hajime no Ippo. Seninen usually are more realistic than shounen. Because sports shounen has the same flare as battle shounen manga.

Agreed, it's been a while since I've watched Prince of Tennis so I forget, and yeah for the ones I haven't finished watching, I'm probably wrong.

One Outs and Eyeshield21 are pretty close imo. Factually, Eyeshield21 is more unrealistic I suppose but there's just something about One Outs... dunno

Well, I'm not a teenager but I don't understand your point. Can people over 20 not use the word hate? Do they not hate things? Or is using the word hate wrong because we don't really 'hate' them? Like if someone said. "I hate verizon"?

nah, wouldn't put ippo near the realistic side. maybe in the middle, along with major.
one outs is realistic. it just uses ridiculous strategies
baby steps would be near the end
POT definitely at the top. nothing else other than the soccer anime (inazuma eleven) can compete.

The use of the word over ridiculously mundane things is a sign of immaturity or simply that you do not know how to articulate a feeling better than a word you use without it having the meaning it is intended to have and that's what led me to comment on teenagers. Furthermore, it is like everyone on this forum is so bored out of their minds that they feel inclined to create multiple threads on the same topic without actually checking around to see if there hasn't been a hundred others like it and they all end up about hating this or that. When I posted my comment earlier, I saw 3 threads in the top 5-6 threads with the word hate in them, which were exact duplicates of ones I've seen so many times before. It gets incredibly redundant. I'm no advocate for a "better MAL" since I've been a part of this website for long enough to confidently claim that this site is a shit show with terrible mods, but some things just need to have a limit.

If you exchange Prince of Tennis with Kuroko, and One Outs with Eyeshield, that's pretty much the general consensus.

It's probably just newer so more fresh in our minds. Prince of Tennis is arguably more unrealistic.

The generation of miracles all had supernatural ability... copy ability is realistic???

Haikyuu is in the middle, or slightly on the realistic side, but the timing between the two mains is a little far-fetched. It's similar to how Major (if you've watched that) has the gyroball.

cough cough

even in manga someone can block gunshot by tennis ball how unrealistic is that!!!!!the artstyle didn't help it at all when the story present is so unrealistic.
and let's me honestly here PoP is generic Battle Manga/Anime now it's not even sport in my book everyone use special move like nothing and beating up each other instead win by score.

kurobas only a few things that don't seem plausible (akashi's playing style, the idea of misdirection, hawk/eagle) but even those are doable irl

haikyuu /is/ realistic but i guess people don't think it is since they have so many good volleyball players on one team

They're not supernatural (maybe Akashi lol). Like ibear said, everyone just has enhanced abilities. Everyone on the GoM were extremely good at their specified positions. There are people like that in real life.

That's actually a nice way of seeing it but it really doesn't feel that way.
Firstly, Akashi/Kuroko have blatant supernatural abilities, predicting the future was obviously shown as one of his abilities, this is just supernatural (not an enhancement).

The other 4 have hyper-enhanced to the point of being unrealistic/ridiculous. Fast learning is one thing, copying abilities to perfection is actually a common skill in sports anime and it's stupidly unrealistic, copying can never be used as a skill in any sport, especially not to the extent shown in many of these sports anime. Shooting from anywhere on the court is ridiculous and can be abused to hell.

The other thing that makes some of them slightly supernatural is the activation of these abilities, irl you just have the skill, it's not some ability that you activate like they do in KnB. For example, Aomine/Kagami's zone only last for an exact period of time and then all power is lost, This is obviously absurd irl, stamina doesn't work like that. And the concept of those gates is just a typical anime trope, but that's besides the point.

So in the end, the only legit player is Murasakibara :^) That's just how I see it.

Predicting the future and reacting fast are two different things. The anime chose to ignore the explanation given in the manga that in the most layman's terms describes it as the latter.

Ugh, c'mon do I have to, this stopped being fun halfway through S3. I can't recall if they used in the manga, but it's an easy presumption to the make because the concept is the same. For one thing Akashi is a damn good player and ball handler, his initial size up causes a defensive reaction, reads the muscle movements, and from there he knows what type of crossover will break their center of balance so he can do it without fault.

If you're talking his bit with Kagami, hell if I know. It could be the same deal. X amount of pressure on the shoulder in direction y makes a person fall over.

Okay the thing is their abilities are way too enhanced to appear anywhere close to realistic. It's similar to concept of running at the speed of sound/light (eyeshield 21), yeah it's not supernatural in a sense but it's ridiculous, this applies to all members of generation of miracles to some lesser extent. It parallels with how you're describing Akashi, "he's running so fast that his speed is matching the speed of sound", "his eyes are so sensitive to muscle movement that he can predict the next few seconds of movement in the future" or "this ability was mastered so hard that he is able to use it to make people kneel before him"

If you're only trying to argue that they're not supernatural, then sure go ahead, you can stretch your imagination to great lengths to get everything make sense. You are over-analyzing Akashi though, for all we know, the writers of the story intended for him to have those supernatural abilities, and you are just trying to rationalize it, or rather, the writers also aware it is stupidly unrealistic but explain it for the entertainment.
