...then you might like Re-Main add

Both are sports anime about an underdog team in a less popular sport with a Happy-go-lucky MC who holds a lot of trauma. Both take a dramatic tonal shift and both have a larger focus on interpersonal development than gameplay.

...then you might like Re-Main add

Both are sports anime about an underdog team in a lesser-known sport with an MC that had previously been an ace on an old team. Both show high-speed skill development in MC based on previous prodigy status that feels legitimate rather than forced in an underdog team. Both shows have a theme of growing yourself to grow the team, but just one player can't win for you. Both teams have previous national winners on them but retain underdog status by being from a small school with newbie players mixed in so the upward climb feels both realistic and doable. Shakunetsu Kabbadi does a better job of breaking down the rules of their sport and each individual play; they also have a larger focus on gameplay with a minor focus on interpersonal drama. Re-Main shines at creating a compelling main character and backstory to drive the plot and keep you interested. Both feel more camp than most sports anime, but theyre so fun.

If you liked Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? add

...then you might like Houkago Teibou Nisshi add

They are both in the subgenre of iyashikei with a group of high school girls doing a rather unexpected hobby with wholesome vibes and a fun learning environment. Dumbell nan kilo moteru teaches you how to start weightlifting in a safe and nonjudgemental environment in really simple, fun, and colorful ways. It actually made me excited to go to the gym and not afraid of not knowing the machines, form, or how to plan a workout. Loved it. Houkago Teibou Nisshi teaches you how to start fishing at the breakwater again in a safe and nonjudgemental environment in a super simple, fun, and descriptive way. I have never been interested in fishing i thought it was gross and not girly, just like the main character, but seeing her excitement grow and her comfortability increase when she was way worse off then me makes me want to go try fishing too. They explain how to catch specific fish (with what rod, lures, how to tie the knots), where to catch fish and all the little tips for each individual fish. They also teach how to fillet and I think I'm going to try the method taught in episode 10 tonight!

If you liked Takunomi. add

...then you might like Houkago Teibou Nisshi add

These both fall in the iyashikei (good, calming, slice of life vibes) genre and feature a group of girls one with no experience and three with a lot that help and teach the inexperienced girl (and us) new things in a fun and narrative format. Every episode is something super new and useful and the characters are all fun and pretty well fleshed out, not one-dimensional. Takunomi is about drinking alcohol. It teaches you how to drink alcohol, what to buy in each type, how to pair it with what type of food, and little tips for mixing stuff or making it better. Its fun and cute and has four college aged and adult girls living in a shared home together. Houkago Teibou Nisshi is about teaching beginners how to fish at the breakwater. It teaches about how to catch fish, cook fish, and buy/procure equipment and licenses to do it in a fun and narrative way. Its a group of four teenage girls in a club at their highschool. Both shows give you such a nice boost of both serotonin and productive drive. They both make you want to try new things and give you the confidence to do so.

If you liked Re:Stage! Dream Days♪ add

...then you might like 22/7 add

Both animes are female idol themed, start from nothing and build their way up. Re:stage! is more underdog development, and 22/7 shows more work as successful idols, but they're both fun and wholesome. Just a heads up, 22/7 has a slightly odd premise lol, sort of a mystery side theme.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Suisei no Gargantia add

Both revolve around weaponized mechs, have heavy psychological themes that address questions like how to define humanity, and feature a large plot arc about the main character who was derived of choice learning how to think for himself. Evangelion is much darker than Gargantia; Gargantia has a much lighter/brighter art style with weaker characters, but if you liked Gargantia for its psycholical themes and mech fighting sequences you'll like Evangelion a whole lot more. Give it a shot.

If you liked Skip Beat! add

...then you might like Cat Street add

Both of these manga's star a main actor and their struggles and progresses in the world of acting. Both main characters are refreshing, honest to a fault, a little naive, and kind to the bone. They both have something in their past that cripples them emotionally and both manga's are their stories working past them. While Cat Street is much much shorter and less developed, it is still a heartwarming tale worth a read. Skip Beat is objectively well written, I don't need to say much about it other than that it's a manga every shoujou manga fan needs to read at least once in their life.

If you liked Long Riders! add

...then you might like Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume add

Both of these animes are animes featuring a sport already made into a popular anime, but feature a main cast of women instead. The art style of both are very moe, very clean, with nice colors and character designs. Both have a minor yuri vibe that is apparent, but not overbearing. Shakunetsu no Takkyuu Musume is different in that it's about Ping Pong, it features middles schoolers rather than college students, and the main character is actually experienced at her sport.
