I've tried to watch haikyuu but i didn't really like it that much. When it comes to sports anime i think ice hockey would be really good i know they have manga but i wanna see it animated. As a hockey fan i would love to see this.

That would be great, but I don't think Japan is interested in ice hockey.

Yea, I wouldn't mind them actually having a fist fight happen on the ice animated.

No, I'm tired of these sports anime/manga the only one I respect is Slam Dunk and even then some of the matches were boring AF. Sports manga is just boring in general there's only a few classic soccer anime/manga I liked from back in the day but that's it

Yeah I am tired of watching the same concept again and again. Even Haikyuu got boring after shiratorizawa arc. You want to make a new sports anime you have to do something different like Ping Pong the animation.

I generally agree with you there, probably in the future as it seem ti be gaining popularity in japan according to the wiki or so.

Even though I'm not too much of a fan of hockey as a real life sport I think it would be interesting as an anime Because even in real life a lot happens during a hockey match. And just imagining how much more some anime effects could do to it.

(And I have a lot of AMV ideas that would use hockey anime, but there isn't any)

It’s not a sport that is commonly played in Japan, so there will probably be no hockey anime.
And besides, volleyball is a way better sport.

I would love to see it, but before a niche sport becomes an anime, there usually needs to be a popular manga. There is already one or two hockey mangas but they weren't popular. If Eyeshield can get Japanese interested in football, then there is always the possibility for hockey in the future. Maybe the Canadian embassy should sponsor it.

On the topic of sports Canada is good at, I think Curling would also make for an interesting anime/manga and the Japanese team is already good at it.
