True. It reminds me of that UNO videoShonen sports series can hype up the mind games for literally anything.
Basically every match? People just sit down quiet
Also no, tennis isn't more of a mental game than Volleyball, and volleyball require a lot of skill too. If anything because it is a team sport it requires more than Tennis because there are more people, on your side and the opposite, that you need to consider while playing.
I dont understand how someone can expect focus on both genders on a team sport anime, the focus is on the team of the main character and its rivals, they would need to make a completely separate storyline to focus on a female team and by that point might as well write a spin-off.
Also the main cast is bland?? Kageyama is a bit boring but the rest the team has great and/or funny personalities with Hinata, Nishinoya, Tanaka and Tsukishima.
Also Volleyball is much better than Tennis for me. For me Tennis was always a rich people sport so I can't help but view it with disdain. And the crowd is equally boring, tho in Rio olympics it was much better because it was the first time I saw a Tennis match with people cheering.
Urasawa wrote a tennis manga?! I need to find it.As for tennis, Happy! manga by Naoki Urasawa left me satisfied, not just focusing on the game but also on the characters. Though when it comes to the seinen content it is no wonder it was not adapted to anime.
This is a good thing tho. The drama in haikyuu is used to elevate the matches while in those it feels the opposite, the matches are used to create drama and I just lose interest because it just feels like I am watching a drama series with sports as the backgroung and by that point I might as well just watch a drama series that doesnt hide it is a drama.Haikyuu spends more time explaining the strategy and game tactics instead of featuring drama and character depth, trying to be more realistic.
Considering the popularity of haikyuu I think most people disagree with that.Something difficult to keep interest later on for the story to proceed.
It is pretty stock. Ufotable does make it look nice thoughDemon slayer 4
Guys I was fooled by the first episode but I think this might just be kind of a stock standard shonen
This better get better fast
I'm curious at what exactly fooled you in the first episode.Demon slayer 4

I dunno, when I watch a sports fiction, I want it to give the same vibe I feel when I watch real sports, and Haikyuu is perfect at doing this.

Cold take: the only good sports anime is Ping Pong: The Animation. Before people ask, I don't consider karuta or shogi sports.
I can 1000% agree with you there. Akagi is too fucking good.

Episode 5 of Jeweller Richard was another surprisingly good one. The bitter ending to the friendship between MC and his former upperclassman was really refreshing.
I came to it late and was fairly liberal about skipping episodes while watching when the games were taking too long. Don't need 5 episodes for one game. My time is too valuable to slog through that. With that being said, I've enjoyed this season so far since Hinata is growing and improving as a player thanks to his observations.idk there was like a 3 year gap. i swear it wasnt this dull the entire time back then. maybe it was always bad like shokugeki no soma and just hadnt ran out of juice yet
Yeah, I don't really get any of the love for it outside of a single episode. But I haven't liked anything the director has done at KyoAni (Kyoukai no Kanata being the other show he lead).I've tried to get into Violet Evergarden twice now and it just isn't clicking for me..but being on Netflix makes it so easy to watch so I keep hoping it will. 😩
Just finished watching the first episode of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-Kun and I absolutely loved it.

This I would admit if tankery was an actual real sport. I know there's those videos of tank competitions between several countries in the Russian orbit with the same Russian tank but any similarity with reality is pure coincidence. Still, a great anime.

The only thing Violet Evergarden has going for it is that it looks consistently very good. There is, maybe, one episode with an interesting story and the rest oscillate between bollocks and boring.
I can get behind this. I understand the appeal of it, but none of it is interesting to me.Cold take: the only good sports anime is Ping Pong: The Animation. Before people ask, I don't consider karuta or shogi sports.
This was about the time I stopped watching the anime. It has to get better at some point. Or at least rise above the level of absolute boring, but I couldn't justify watching any more.Anime Ja Nai 4
I'm mostly kind of apathetic to every episode so far. 3 episodes so far of Judau and his junkyard mates just getting up to hijinks and shenanigans and Mashymre being like, "those rascally kids!". But then there's Kamille still a vegetable on the corner. I really want this to start moving with some plot already.
A question: what makes a sports anime good to you?Cold take: the only good sports anime is Ping Pong: The Animation. Before people ask, I don't consider karuta or shogi sports.
I non ironically think it is a better sports anime than some of the mentions here. Super weird to think about it
