| I am a fan of basketball because of anime like Slam Dunk and Kuroko no Basket being so popular . And since Captain Tsubasa is a good football (or soccer for American ) anime that inspire great football legend and also Japan football popularity . I was wonder are there some sports that have yet to be turn into anime and if so could it become popular among the anime community |

| There is severe lack of Badminton in anime. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| snowboarding / skiing is one that i can think of off the top of my head, not a lot of winter sports are in anime, as the focus |

Id say Lacrosse probably. Nobody really plays it so it wouldnt make sense to make an anime for it. |

| I would love to see a anime about billiards. hope they don't make it to gay. |
  |
| Crocket (idk if that's how you spell it) and all the other ones said above. |
| Kokou no Hito and Kamigami no Itadaki (climbing), they have the potential to become popular and loved by the anime community if well adapted. But it's better if they don't adapt them, Kamigami no Itadaki would be the next victim of the shitty elitist meme. It's a good thing if they are known only by the manga community. |

It's not the whole focus of it though. It would be cool to have a billiards only anime with Kaiji-esque feel to it. |
| Billiards and Ice Hockey are two I'd love to see. |
| Competitive masturbation. I'd watch it. |

| That white slaveowner game where they ride around on ponies and hit balls with sticks. XquisiteWig said: Billiards and Ice Hockey are two I'd love to see. There's probably billiards in anime (there's a lot in manga), though probably no anime focused on it. |

CreativeNam3 said: Id say Lacrosse probably. Nobody really plays it so it wouldnt make sense to make an anime for it. Hey, the original hot-headed heroin of the Precure franchise played this sport in Futari wa Precure !  There is even a Shônen JUMP sport manga about it: Cross Manage. @Shortcircuit Capeta seemed a pretty good manga about karting, an anime was made out of it. @Pullman Are you refering to the french live movie and theater adaptations of a certain Taniguchi manga for this trust? (asking out of curiosity, because last time I mentioned the movie among non-french people, nobody was believing me) edit @Pullman My fault for this wrong assumption. I thought you were saying one could trust french for adapting Taniguchi's works. Because Haruka-na machi e was adapted under its french translated name Quartier lointain already twice by us: a theatrical movie and a theater piece. You just reminded me about this horribly stupid japanese sport I discovered through a cultural video report: "air sex/masturbating". (in case you wonder, it works like "air guitar") |

Well there is also appreciation for him in germany and probably other parts of europe at this point, but I think his works only started to be translated to other languages in the 2000s while the french already were onto him a good 10 years earlier. They even knighted him in 2011. In english many of his works are still not available, which is really a shame. And in general I was referring to the online manga community on MAL etc, not so much about local communities. When I read the manga basically noone knew about it on this site and even tho the number of readers has doubled since then it is still extremely low. The Climber has like 15x as many readers so that's something I'd call 'known by the manga community', but Taniguchi is still very obscure outside of a few select circles of more 'sophisticated' european manga fans. |

Yes on MAL he's basically unkown but the community is quite small, a manga with 6k members can be considered quite popular here for example. Also for some manga you have to buy the psysical copies and after i read the threads about piracy i think it's a sin here to pay to enjoy a manga/anime. |

NeoAnkara said: There is severe lack of Badminton in anime. I like it, i mean there are already a lot of tennis animes that were very good. Ofc the two is different but they are still similar nature. *-* gut suggestion (y) |
NeoAnkara said: There is severe lack of Badminton in anime. You'd think we would have one by now considering how popular it is among the Asian contingent including myself. If one were to arise, I'd expect something like Ping Pong if it goes the realistic route otherwise Prince of Tennis-esque for exaggeration purposes. |
