The Ultimate Best Sports Anime of All Time !!
| I'm a big fan of sports anime and You ? I hesitated to put some of them since it's difficult to classify them as "Sport" but I finally did. |
 |
| Ofc, I'm a big fan of sports too! 3-Gatsu no Lion is good too, but Haikyuu is my pick for sports. |
| Karuta IS a sport. Sport: an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. EDIT: I think that 3-gatsu no Lion & Hikaru no Go are the only ones that shouldn't be considered sports anime. |

Aarav_Kurenai said: For me Haikyuu is the best :3 Also Ngl Beyblade Burst is sooo good (only the first two seasons) Me putting beyblade was just a troll haha but ok it's your opinion. |
|
| Anima Yell is clearly the best but Chihayafuru is a decent runner up so I'll vote for that one. |
| I picked One outs but I haven't completed everything on this list and I've only seen the first season of haikyuu which was not very good in my opinion. |
| Good selection OP. Most other. polls seem to be only three or four choices. Catalano will be here soon so you should add kurenai sanshiro. |

|
| I knew Haikyuu would win because it's a Netflix and casual anime. I will continue to engage in stories such as Slam Dunk |
| I am also a big sports anime fan. My top picks would be Haikyuu, Hikaru no go, Hinomaruzumou, baby steps, Yowamushi pedal. Its hard to decide, but for now I went with Hikaru no go |

Yes but with a list of 35565 animes people dont read all of them and end up chosing one of the firsts on the list (even I think some of here did it). |
|
| Most people haven't even seen half of this list (myself included). My vote goes to Ping Pong because I don't consider 3-gatsu a sports anime. What that show achieved in just 11 eps is out of this world. Hype was unreal. |

But still haikyuu is first and far away (here and everywhere). I'd say that's mostly because of how popular it is. Its the most popular sports anime and its fanbase is obsessed with it. I haven't finished it so I wouldn't value my opinion so much but I'm basing this of the first season. |

Check out wiki page tag (their is something called indoor and outdoor sports) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikaru_no_Go Olympics considers chess as sports. So why cant Go also be considered as sports |

| I haven't watched all those anime, but my vote went to Touch since it is one of my favourite anime. Touch>Cross Game>Haikyuu. Animes like Haikyuu or Kuroko's Basket focus mainly one the "sport side", neglecting the other sides of the characters, like the "slice of life" part. Touch and Cross game are some good mixes of all these aspects. |
Play2X said: Lol, Ro-Kyu-Bu isn't even in there? Fail Poll. Well. Overall Chihayafuru is the best anime by far out of this list, but its romance first and sports second, kinda. Haikyu was great for a long time, but they started to get lazy after the second season, also, the manga took a nosedive after the parts that are adapted in To the top, at least in my opinion. That leaves us with basically Yowamushi Pedal and Babysteps (I haven't watched 3-gatsu long enough, even though Im sure it might end up here as well). Babysteps has the problem that the manga got cancelled, but the anime was (and actually still is, I rewatched it just last month) really enjoyable, but will never come to a perfect ending. Screw that company, it was such an enjoyable manga... Well, Yowamushi Pedal on the other hand has the problem, that the art style seriously needs some time to get used to, and a few of my friends I recommended this show to just saw the opening and were like 'Yeaa, that looks like shit, pass'. But its also a really good show. I personally liked Babysteps more, but I think I rated Pedal higher. Forget to mention Ippo, Hinomaruzumo and Ahiru no Sora, which are also all really enjoyable, but Ippo and Zumo suffer from being rather unpopular sportstypes (Boxing and ...Sumo, surprise), while Ahiru no Sora also needs getting used to with the art, and I personally thought that the band of deliquents trope is already way out of favor. After getting past the first episodes it got more enjoyable, also I liked how the mangaka basically predicted players like Nicola Jokic or Stephen Curry. If it's a fail poll just because there isnt one or 2 of the anime you wanted but still more than 40 one ,nobody will be satisfied. Especially that most polls have just 3 or 4 answers. |
|
| Really. Haikyuu is the best? Wow. Slam Dunk must be laughing hard. However, they have the same core, so.... |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Haikyuu is too girly for me and the only other anime I saw that I recogonize is Beyblade Burst and Megalo Box.. sports anime is boring in general |
| What's up with the WSJ hate |
| YOUR REALLY MAKING ME CHOOSE I LOVE THEM ALL!!!! The ultimate best is obviously Hajime no Ippo, but my personal fav's are knb and free. People are picking haikyuu cause of the hype surrounding it but wtvr... Yes, it's great I gave the first season a 9, but it's waaaaayyy too generic and the plot is pretty eh. |

Ahhh sorry i thought you were serious xD |

Check out wiki page tag (their is something called indoor and outdoor sports) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hikaru_no_Go Olympics considers chess as sports. So why cant Go also be considered as sports A better definition of board games are "mind sports", which fall in a different category from traditional sports. The same can be said for e-sports. |

But its still a sport. unlike a boardgame like snake and ladder, chess and go are played at a professional level like other outdoor sports E- sports are entirely different, I am pretty sure there are anime about e sports which dont have a wiki tag as sports |

| Sangatsu no Lion is the best anime in this poll by far, but Sangatsu no Lion isn't a sport anime. The best sport anime that I know is Ping Pong. I'm not a fan of sports anime, but Ping Pong is 3 or 4 times better than Haikyuu, which is my second favourite sports anime. |

| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| I'm baffled as to how Kuroko no Basket is so obscure in the west now when it's basically on par with Haikyuu in nearly every regard. No English dub, no licensor, no BD release in America, no Netflix treatment. Hell, even Googling "Kuroko no Basuke blu ray" brings up Haikyuu as the top result. |
 |
| i don't see hxh, the dodgeball match was the best sports anime ever made |
  |
| I have a soft spot on Slam Dunk and Hajime no Ippo. I like some of the anime in the poll too. |
  |
| Hajime no Ippo is big time pog champ. |
 |
| idk if 3-gatsu could really considered a sport but since its up there thats my pick itd be ping pong if it wasnt |
pomp ---> |
| Why is One Outs not on this list is my biggest question here :P |
 |
Dawson_Armstrong said: yo. i was just about to say the same thing. i was like, why dont this lad got keijo on the polls. Look, we all know that the best sports anime will forever be Keijo!!!!!!!! in all of its eight exclamation point glory. |
| I am the handle of my mop Rags are my body, and detergent is my blood I have scrubbed over a thousand floors Unknown to sick leave Nor known to pay Have withstood abuse to sweep many surfaces Yet those hands will never hold money So as I clean, Unlimited Maid Works |
| because keijo not on here i voted for beyblades. it shoulda been metal fight cuz that is the single greatest sports anime (if we arent counting pokemon or keijo) but yeah |

| Captain Tsubasa because it's the closest to a sports anime series I love. |
| I have a major soft spot for Haikyuu and I haven't seen any other sports anime. My answer will probably change soon. |

Anyways, I think both our views are correct: it's just that the term "sport" can either refer to physical sports in particular or to the broader definition, that also includes mind sports and e-sports. From Wikipedia: "The inclusion of mind sports within sport definitions has not been universally accepted". |
| Run with the Wind is my favourite...an unpopular opinion ain't it? |
 |
| I picked Hajime no Ippo, but slam Dunk and captain tsubasa are also my favorites. |
 |
| Haikyuu best Diamond no ace 2nd best |
My MALoween✟Mansion 2022 Candies :       |
| none, because i want a sport anime about hockey |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| I would say Diamond no Ace, Hajime no ippo, or Hikaru no go. |
