Sports Anime = A kind of Shounen anime that is mostly watched by girls/fujoshis

What kind of anime people likes is everyone's personal choice and can't say I like them. So I keep 100 yards away from any sports anime I find. ( even though my PC's hdd is full of them )

I like them, all of the sports anime I have seen I have given at least a 7/10. I've seen Chihayafuru, Haiku, Kuroko's Basketball, Ace of Diamond, Kuroko's Basketball, Prince of Tennis, and Yowapeda. I enjoyed them all.

Ironically the only one I tried watching and couldn't get into at all was Slam Dunk.

You don't even give sports anime a try because girls watch them? Also there are sports anime that don't appeal to fujoshi's like Hajime no Ippo, Slam Dunk etc.

I just started getting into sports anime, and I love them. I would say we need more, but there are a lot of shows I haven't seen yet. Wish there were some with a female cast, but hopefully that'll come in the future.


You might want to try these shows then: Princess Nine, Taisho Baseball Girls, Battle Athletes & Battle Athletes Victory. All are older shows but they do feature girls in their main casts & are quite good IMO.

No no. I'm not saying that. Even I watch shoujo anime too. It's just I don't find most sports anime appealing.

I've been watching Ace of Diamonds and Haikyuu!!, as well as Iwatobi Swim Club, and to a lesser degree, Kuroko no Basket. Since I've nearly given up on action titles (except for Kill la Kill, which was the best anime I've seen in a very long time), sports shows seem to be the only subgenre left where the subtext is comradery, teamwork, and friendship. Which is more than I can say for shows like Bleach and Blue Exoricst, where everyone talks about friendship, but all seem to hate each other.

What I was saying that those anime are mainly made for/aimed at teenage boys. Yet it attracts more girls than boys which I find surprising.

The shounen ones are very predictable but I really do enjoy them, specially when they focus more on the characters like in haikyuu. I loved knb as well but it kinda got meh towards the 3rd season and lost my interest cause of all of the powerups. One outs and ping pong are my fav though cause of the psychological aspects

I don't understand why people say, "because of superpowers" and "people can't do those things in real life." As someone who enjoys real life sports, I honestly struggle to see the problem.

Basketball is my favorite sport and Kuroko's Basketball is my favorite sports anime. I didn't look at Kuroko like "Wow, half of this stuff isn't even possible in real basketball." If anything I thought it was cool seeing my favorite sport adapted in such a way. Plus it isn't too far off to say that most of the "powers" in Kuroko's Basketball are based off of real life abilities and/or skills, just amplified to a superhuman degree. Like Midorima's shot, while no one is capable of making their shot 100% of the time, there are some people who are capable of taking deep 3 point shots and consistently making them. (Steph Curry)

Sports is one of my favorite anime genre but that said real sports>fake anime sports.

Cross Game, Ping Pong the animation & One Outs are arguably the best sports anime.

If you want to watch some real basketball, watch Slam Dunk (or read the manga which is better )
WTF??? Have you ever watch some real basketball in your life? I like Slam Dunk but that thing isn't realistic. I haven't seen a real pro basketball player wear a reading glasses on the court. I could go on but I'll leave it at that.

but what bothers me, is they're using yaoi bait in sports anime a lot, that it's becoming part of it
The reason I dropped Free. That new anime Prince of Stride seems to be taking the yaoi route too.

You misunderstood the whole point of my comment. His response to why I like sports anime was "why you watch that if you can watch this."

The point of my comment was to point out how stupid is that question, how can be applicated to everything and how it's a bad argument.

Not a sports fan, but definitely an anime sports fan. Animes like Kuroko no Basket and Prince of Tennis are pretty popular, but far from great. If you want some real good sports animes I would recommend Hajime no Ippo and Ashita no Joe (boxing), Major, Cross Game and Touch (Baseball), Haikyuu (Volleyball) and Slam Dunk (Basketball).

For people who think they won't like sports anime, but would like to try some out, then Hajime no Ippo, Major, Haikyuu and Touch would be a great way to try it out. Specially Touch, as it's basically a slice of life anime until about episode 25.

I really wish the Anime adapted all of the Manga, but they skipped over the World series arc :( I'm most interested in that one as I like the Golden Battery the most!

I'm hoping to scanlate the manga one day~
