Blue Lock
| not a sport player but they're quite enjoyable watching with a couple of beers |
| I used to think Shaolin Soccer was stupid, especially that scene where a bunch of people were taking turns to shoot at the keeper from range instead of moving closer to get a better shot or just dribbling forward to pass sideways to an unmarked teammate. But as I grew older, I learned to embrace the silliness and uniqueness of these shows. They do not detract from my enjoyment of actual real-life soccer. There aren't too many soccer movies or shows of decent quality out there, so when something like Shaolin Soccer or Blue Lock comes along, I try not to focus on their flaws and just enjoy them. Seriously though, Shaolin Soccer is one of my favorite movies now and the Second Selection arc of the Blue Lock manga is amazing (though the art could be better). |

| it's ok to like stupid things for the adrenaline rush , no one needs your approval for it |

| I played football religiously in my boarding school until I moved to the U.S. about 4 years ago. Let's just say that there is an inferior version of football that is more popular around these parts. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Its about as silly as seeing office work anime as an office worker. Accept the fact that these are cartoons, and that they are exaggerated. |
 |
| ao ashi is a lot better just saying |
 |
| Nope absolutely not, I have never had an interest in sports in my entire life. |
SaberFace said: How many of you guys have actually played team sports in your life (or been into sports as a fan) ? I played football (soccer) for about 8 years competitively when I was in school and I´ve never been able to watch a sports anime because they feel kind of silly to me. I´m curious. Well yea thats true. Anime is too drama-ish. It did better when sports anime within the sport i didnt play that much like basketball, voleyball or ping pong, also because ping pong was a masterpiece of a plot in anime. |
koshiguruma said: Soccer is the most boring sport on earth for me, but Blue lock has somehow done the impossible and made it hype. Nope. How many pounds/kilograms you weight? |
| I don't like soccer(or football) whatever it is. But watching this anime is entertaining |
 |
| I played recreational soccer in elementary school and did amateur wrestling for four years in high school. I also watch the NFL, NBA, and MLB so I'm a huge sports fan that is willing to watch sports anime as long as its entertaining. Another reason why I like watching Sports anime is that I like seeing the competitive nature of the characters. |
 |
| I’ve played cricket for 10 years, and football for over 10 years (still playing football). I tend to decide how to watch an anime depending on how realistic it is. For example, for blue lock as it’s a more wacky and unrealistic premise, I tend to kind of switch my head off and not bother thinking too deeply abt how certain things don’t make sense, only times I genuinely turn my brain on is when they’re starting to discuss interesting philosophies/tactics. If it’s something more interesting like ao ashi, I tend to watch more closely and analyse what they say more thoroughly. Both types are very enjoyable imo. |
| I played soccer for four years. I also learned basketball and softball/baseball but I never played those competitively. I enjoy the unrealistic elements as long as it doesn't become superpower-based, such as Inazuma Eleven. |
| 2 years basketball, 8 years American Football. Some are silly, some are not. big whoop. |
 |
| Never played any sports, and have no interest in any sport at all and dont follow anything about sports. |
| Played futbol for about 20 years on and off, never competitively though, basketball for 5 years, and probably something else I'm misremembering. I was good at none. |

| I played badminton in elementary. Never played soccer, but I want to try it. |

| sorry, thats a lot for football in general, i know you are too slow to run, ofc is boring when you cant run. |
| I played baseball from 5 to 13 and I watch the NBA. Never really cared for soccer/football (although I have checked out a couple World Cup matches) but I checked out this anime because of the hype around it. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Played football for a few years. Chess too if that counts. And table tennis as a hobby. |

Obviously not like a lightweight barebone 115 pound forward, but I’m still more than capable of running for an entire match. There’s just other sports that involve running that are far more entertaining idk anyone that is not profesional that can play even decent with that weight. i really doubt all that story or that you have any kind of sprint. You probably are slow and play defender. im so sorry about that. |

I personally like Sports anime a lot. soccer, said it, it's soccer it ain't that bad get over it call it both People care way too much for no reason |
| played football (american) and baseball as well as track but never really been into sports anime; i just think this one is really well done. never even cared for soccer. |
 |
| I played football 🏈 when I was in 7th and 8th grade. This my first “real” sports anime (I tried watching SK8 the Infinity, wasn’t the biggest fan) and I think it’s awesome, the absurdity and the adrenaline rush it gives me is just unparalleled. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| i'm more of an individual sports kinda guy, did gymnastics competitively for 9 years and climbing for another 5 and while i never approach a sports anime thinking it's going to be realistic, some do manage to be relatable at least. Haikyuu has a lot of elements that sportspeople can appreciate i'd say, but i've come to find that real relatability often comes from shows you wouldn't necessarily expect, things like 3gatsu no lion, dance dance danseur or even chihayafuru. not necessarily sports anime, but sports adjacent dramas, i suppose. but could also be that this is my individual sports bias showing, as none of these are about team sports. that being said, blue lock isn't even really a sports series, so i feel like looking at it from that perspective is doing a disservice to both the show and yourself. |
