| Are you interested in sports anime and do you play sports yourself? Has anime ever motivated you to engage in any physical or athletic activity? Or even just to become interested in any sporting discipline. Counting technically non-sports shows that still realistically and in detail show some martial arts or sport lifestyle. For example, I've always liked anime about track and field, martial arts, and other "summer" sports, but right now things like cycling and swimming are temporarily out of my reach, so "certain" shows just make me depressed, if you get what I want to say. Uma Musume has really motivated me to start running again, but I can't find the right place yet. |

| Sports anime in general suck ass and absolutely opposite of everything what any competitive sport represents. As a massive sports lover I hate sports anime to the core. Except rare exceptions. Uma musume is good because it's meta approch while still respecting the original sport in contrast cow dunks like Blue lock (biggest offender) which completely disrespects the greatest invention of humanity to a point it's boils my blood. I pray nothing but misfortune to the creator of that horrible shit. Another good one was the ball park one last season which shows and respects sports culture, informative while still being fun. |
I tried volleyball once because of Haikyuu and it was embarrasing but I also naruto ran down the beach and submitted an isekai rap as my music asignment, I love being weeaboo. However, the sport I'd like to try most doesn't seem to be available anywhere. |
 I LOVE YURI!!!!!! YURI BANZAI!!!!!! GIRLS KISSING!!!!! |
| Most fictional sports matches bore me out. |
| I've always considered myself unathletic and rarely thought the fun was worth the physical exhaustion and tedious practice. Run with the Wind was an eye-opener, showing me the actual experience of running and the pure joy and satisfaction of it. It got me to pick up running more regularly and more seriously. I'm hoping the upcoming Hyakuemu can reignite that. Don't know what to expect, but the trailer gets me hyped. I've never understood the appeal of watching sports either, but Haikyuu gave me a taste. I don't think I've ever teared up over a match before that. Still don't watch sports, but I at least understand a little better now. |
I really love sports anime btw, not sure why so many people hate it, it's the best. I like it when there's sports scenes in regular anime too. |

| I just love sports in general, whether I play them or watch them be played. So sports animes just enhance that love I have. Things like Blue Lock, Ao Ashi and Slam Dunk have reminded me of why I love to both play and watch football and basketball. I played volleyball for a couple of years in school so Haikyuu was also amazing to watch having previous experience with that. But I also love the idea of sports so even when I watch an anime that revolves around a sport I don't personally play/watch I still love the ideas it conveys. |

| I am interested in Sports anime, such as Running with the Wind and Haikyuu!!. I played tennis. Anime has sparked my interest in volleyball. |
| Major is my favorite sports anime and baseball is fun to play. Also the Major League baseball player Shohei Ohtani feels like a real life version of the main character from that anime. |
 |
| I love it when sports anime actually go in-depth with its tactical and technical aspects regardless on whether or not i've played it before, especially if they're able to make it actually interesting and easy for beginners to digest rather than being boring and tedious. Ao Ashi is the perfect example for this, i really love that series and i can't really wait any longer for the 2nd season. |
| I played futsal for a decade and did well in PE classes at school. Nowadays, I focus on swimming and padel tennis. Having played at a high level for many years, it was strange to watch sports anime for the first time. There are many differences between anime and real life, but I understand where they are coming from. There are several nuances and details surrounding each sport, and not all players are brilliant, so if we were to replicate real life exactly as it is, we would end up with a boring product. Not every game in real life is thrilling and exciting. The only way to keep our attention is through moments of tension, hype, and gifted characters; something that we can relate to, and at the same time, recognise how brilliant it would be if something like that happened in real life. |
