Sports anime & manga thread

Which one are your favorites?
>Basketball: Slam Dunk manga
>American football: Eyeshield 21 anime & manga (I like manga more)
>Volleyball: Haikyuu!!
>Ass: Keijo!!!!!!!!
What sports anime are you watching, which ones are you looking forward to?

Sports are for faggots.

>Basketball
Slam Dunk
Real

>Boxing
Ashita no Joe

>Volleyball
Haikyuu!!

>Baseball
Rookies

>Tennis
Ping pong
Ace wo Nerae!

Other favorites are Chihayafuru, Ballroom e Youkoso, and Kokou no Hito. The works of Adachi are good as well, but Rookies is just overall more enjoyable for me in terms of baseball. Plan on reading Eyeshield 21 and One-outs in the future along with watching Yawara!. Still need to finish reading the rest of Teppeu.

what about "All out!!"?

I tried YowaPedal but god the pacing is so atrocious, this shit was slow as fuck even for a sports manga
I don't know how people can enjoy this stuff without shooting themselves in frustration

t. lardass

The art is atrocious so it’s a big no from me.

>Slam Dunk manga
Nothing has ever surpassed this for me.

Basketball
I'm ashamed to say I enjoyed Kuroko no Basketball

Tennis
Prince of Tennis/New Prince of Tennis for shounen bullshit
Baby Steps for actual tennis (RIP in peace, fuck you Kodansha)

Soccer
Mai Ball

Boxing
Hajime no Ippo
RRR
Saotome Senshu

MMA
All Rounder Meguru
Teppu

Baseball: One Outs (Akagi stops playing mahjong and picks up pitching)

>no slam dunk
Why

I can never seem to get into Slam Dunk for some reason.

Same, although the last arc of Slam Dunk against Sannoh dragged on a bit and should’ve ended 10 chapters before and not turned into some DBZ tier stretching. Good thing that Inoue learned his lesson when he made Vagabond cause that shit is almost perfectly paced.

Wut are some other American football manga besides eyeshield?

I just haven't read it, that's all

What is it with nips and baseball? That’s the real question.

How is F for racing fans?

prince of tennis

It's been around since the Meiji era

So basically the same reason as America- it's been around forever

curse of sports manga, the better series with non fujo art aren't translated as often.

No Huddle
Football Taka
Ashita-e Kick Off

How gay is Free?

Keijo:
Keijo!!!!!!!!

chinese dominoes:
Akagi
Hero
Mukoubuchi
Ten
Tetsunaki no Kirinji
Tetsuya
Saki

gambling general:
Gin to Kin
Kaiji
(PTR/W) Kakegurui
Rude 39

Ping Pong:
Hanebado
(PTR/W) Takkyu Musume

other:
(PTR/W) Eyeshield 21
(PTW) GuP
(PTR/W) Hinomaru Zumou
(PTR/W) Long Riders
(PTR/W) One Outs
RRR
(PTR/W) Uma Musume

Personally I'm more stimulated by smart plays (and/or occasional infodumps) than by character stories.

What do you think about more "psychological" sports anime like One Outs and Ping Pong The Animation?

I watched Free! Take Your Marks recently and it was less gay than expected. Last part was actually quite funny.
Based on the general tone and the other people in the cinema I wasn't really the target audience ofc.

>Football
Captain Tsubasa, Giant Killing
>Tennis
Baby Steps
>Basketball
Slam Dunk
>Handegg
Eyeshield is the only one and it's pretty good
>Volleyball
Harigane Service

Spring training is upon us. Anyone else going to watch some baseball anime to prepare for the season?

Heard that PPTA was more focused on the characters than on the matches, which means to me that the matches aren't the priority of the work, which means that the author tends to not attempt to explore the extremities of gameplay possibilities, resulting in a less interesting, less mentally stimulating work for me.

Keijo

It's a real sport. In Portugal

It's the best sport by far.

I'm watching Major. It'll probably last me all throughout the season.

Does anything compare to Ten in terms of chinese dominoes?

>It's a real sport. In Portugal
Heh, I had heard some random girls did it but I thought it was just a joke, turns out it's actually real.

>Portugal
It should also be a thing in Brazil, due to bunda.

>I'm ashamed to say I enjoyed Kuroko no Basketball
Why, is it bad? Overrated?

kirinji is pretty fun, and saki is mostly tiddy and yuribait. havent read the other 2.

Takkyuu is life. Too bad the anime covered the weakest parts

It's not terrible.

I feel like it's popularity was only because of fujoshits, but even then, they never really pandered to them. It's just a standard shonen sports manga with made up shit like PoT.

Assuming that you have read/seen Akagi/Saki, I'll leave them aside; Hero would have the closest feel; other manga feel different.
Kirinji - online mahjong player uses his experience against different kinds of players and house rules
Mukoubuchi - lone wolves such as the MC take on high-stakes games in the 80s, series has author commentary about that time period
Tetsuya - set in post-war Japan, expect lots of cheating

>What sports anime are you watching
>Spring training is upon us. Anyone else going to watch some baseball anime to prepare for the season?
It's almost time for my yearly Princess Nine re-watch. It's still my all-time favorite sports anime, and it probably always will be.

this still makes me cry whenever i re-read it. they payoff is amazing, and is one of the very few shounen i enjoy

Only Slam Dunk.

Its less about actual basketball and more about bullshit powers, which you may or may not like. There's no inbetween.

I think I need a quick rundown on those two

Is this the thread?

It is now
The end is nigh

It's honestly not that bad, I expected it to be shameless fujobait based on all the memes but it wasn't like that at all, even the friendships aren't that faggy at all (at least less so than what you get in shit like Naruto and HxH)

That being said its unrealistic as fuck and full of literal superpowers. This makes it look extremely ridiculous next to masterpieces like Slam Dunk.

baseball with superpowered rural delinquents
Ah bishamon high school

What shall type of creatura do we face?

I don't expect to win, but I'll still be let down.

It's okay, I'm used to losing.

The situation is that we need to beat by 2 to have the best chance of qualifying

Do most athletics anime actually draw the runners properly, or do they end up doing the anime run?

Faito!

I'm expecting the worst.

Football
>Captan Tsubasa
Mma
>All rounder meguru
Pro wrestling
>Tiger mask w

Don't think you're immune from being let down.

Why are the potatoes on both Sup Forums and /u/?

>Sup Forums is kill
It's over guys.

Together forever.

Did we have a single red condition for any match?

wtf are these horrible conditions?

There is Yowamushi Pedal. It's fucking Dragon Ball Z on bicycles.

I'm pretty hype for that badminton anime.
I wanna believe

>Shitbasa

I will shoot you

;_;7

just like real world women's sports women's sports anime is shit. Unless they're being sexualized in which case it's ok. Women's sports are shit but i'd watch women's beach volleyball any day. If I wanted to watch actual good games i'd watch men's beach volleyball.

Is the centaur racing one next season?

The only comfort is that they went out before us and we could technically blame our demise on the curse ...

>the lack of cycling sociopaths in this thread is truly disturbing
people complain about the Yowamushi Pedal being slow/dying too soon, but the amount of fags who don't know how to use spoiler tags keep me and my fujoshit gang away from it ;-;7

Me too. Badminton is sorely underrated in general, not just anime.
I find it's better not to.

Perfect. I need this thread to ask a question. Is there any fencing anime's? Not that samurai looking sword fighting I forget what it's called. I've seen that but it's not the same. I mean fencing like Epee, sabre, and foil.

threads*

It begins.
