| Ashita no Joe, no question about it. |
     |
| For me it's Slam Dunk, without a doubt. |
| Ashita no Joe 2 and Hajime no Ippo first season are the best for me. |
 |
| most popular = kuroko no basuke highest rated = haikyuu best selling = yuri on ice personal fav = ping pong |
 |
| Air Gear is an great amazing anime, but from a sports view I have to say Kaleido Star and Ashita no Joe. |
   |
| For me it will be Captain Tsubasa. It's awesome. |
 |
| Slam Dunk Hajime No Ippo haven't watched Ashita no Joe yet |
 |
| Best sports anime which are actually mainly about the sport are Hajime no Ippo Kuroko no Basket Haikyuu Slam Dunk Yowamushi Pedal |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Pretty much a universal fact, though I haven't seen all sports anime out there but I am confident that Ashita no Joe is at least top 2. Some others are Ping Pong The Animation, haven't watch Kaleido Star. Mainly for sports? Probably Ippo, Haikyuu and Slam Dunk. |

| For me, it's Hajime no Ippo and Major |
| Ever made? I haven't watched enough to truly answer that but my personal favorite is One Outs. Also, I won't claim that Yowamushi Pedal is the best ever, but I've really liked it. |
 |
| If we're talking about anime, then Haikyuu, Ping Pong, and Hajime no Ippo (though I have yet to watch Ippo, but from what I've seen, it looks amazing). If we bring manga into this, then Slam Dunk and Ashita no Joe. |
 |
| Has to be Haikyuu for me. Also love KnB and YowaPeda. |
| If we're talking classic sports anime, then I'll go with Major. If we're talking less traditional sports anime, I'll go with Joe and Ping Pong. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I suppose this would be a good place to ask if anyone has seen any Track and Field/Cross Country/Olympics (Track and Field/Marathon)/Marathon/Road Running, etc anime or manga. If you have seen any, please tell me. I would strongly prefer them to have running as the centerpiece but if its a side aspect, I guess I'll try them out anyway. |
|
I don't know, but Initial D is awesome. Personally I love soccer but there is not a good soccer anime I think. |
 |
| I would go with Hajime no Ippo and Haikyuu 2nd season. |
 |
Personal opinion: Kuroko No Basuke |
| Kuroko no Basket for me enjoyed the entire series and the movie |
 |
skull90 said: I don't know, but Initial D is awesome. Personally I love soccer but there is not a good soccer anime I think. There's a couple of good soccer anime. Giant Killing and Ginga e kickoff are probably my favorites, Hungra Heart was pretty good at least in the second half and there's Whistle! and Aoki Densetsu Shoot which I haven't seen yet but hear good things about. Only one I didn't find to be good was Area no Kishi. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| hajime no ippo facts. Haven't watched ashita no joe or slam dunk yet though |
| Keijo of course, next season's Harukana Receive will blow everyone's minds. I'm still waiting for that chess anime where the final boss is Magnus Carlsen. |
    |
| The only sports anime i've ever liked is Inazuma Eleven because m not a big fan of sports anyway have also enjoyed Haikyuu though. |
| Diamond no Ace is awesome. Same for Ping Pong. Hajime no Ippo is also really good(especially the first one iirc), but the art becomes worse and worse between each season. |

| I'm sure Hajime no Ippo is great but Ping Pong delivers in 11 episodes. |
 |
| as a non sport lover/ I don't give a shit about them pretty much, I'd say one outs or ping pong because they don't fully concentrate on the sport. but idk about the rest since I'm not the audience. |
| Atm Major is the best thing i have watched when it comes to that genre. But my favorite woud be Kaleido Star the female character is amazing and made me enjoy the show alot. I haven't watched Slam Dunk or ashita no joe yet. I heard both of them is amazing, so maybe it will change. |
 |
| Haven't exactly watched every sports anime out there to say anything about the 'best sports anime ever made', but so far it's Haikyuu!! for me. I doubt I'll ever see anything better than that. |
 |
| Well i'm going to pick Haikyuu. Not only my favorite sports anime, but also imo the best sports anime. |
| Even if i am currently watching it, Ashita no Joe |
 |
| Slam Dunk is the best sports anime ever without a doubt. |
| Sports in general: Major - Easy. Follows a character from childhood to adulthood. I've seen around 80+ sports anime and NONE of them go that long of a journey. Shows many sports tactics, strategies, types of teams/players from the best of the best. Also has family values, friendship, and following your dreams. Great premise, as in it's not just some kids playing sports for fun because they're bored but the main character actually has a reason behind it. ...but more on team building & friendship: Chihayafuru, followed by Free!. ...with focus on character development: Ookiku Furikabutte. Warning: Slow. ...with shounen elements and extreme excitement: Haikyuu!!. ...and psychological: One Outs, with Ping Pong the Animation behind. ...but more romance focus: Cross Game. (manga I read, not anime) ...with focus on winning: Prince of Tennis and Yowamushi Pedal. These two sports anime will give you feel-good feels since the MCs just keep winning. ...for a beginner to anime: Kuroko no Basuke & Haikyuu!! |
| My choice would be Kuroko no Basket really good and the other would be Haikyuu! |
| Hajime no ippo and keijo Haven't watched ashita no Joe yet |
 |
| My personal favorite is Ping Pong the Animation, yes I'm a filthy eLitsT. Granted, I've yet to see the classics such as Hajime no Ippo and Ashita no Joe so my opinion may change once I do. |
 |
| Initial D if you count racing too i think lol Captain Tsubada Keijo Hanebado and Harukana Receive next summer season and they look good too. |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| Ashita no Joe is king, without a doubt. Do yourself a favour and watch/read it. |
 |
| Diamond no Ace deserves more mentions in here! I'd probably say Hajime no Ippo though based on what I've seen. |
| kyojin no hoshi of course. only the elite who get into heaven are allowed to watch it |
 |
| Free and Yuri on Ice have the best plot |
 |
| Ashita no Joe is trash , just watch Ippo first season |
| Women of my dreams I don't sleep so I can't find her |
