Yowamushi Pedal
This is an anime series which is into Cycling. In our place, a lot of people are into cycling especially during the weekend. However, this is not that much of a competitive sports here unlike in other countries where Cycling athletes are very popular as well. Watch out for this anime series because it will surely make you fall in love with Cycling. The main character has this characteristic of bringing the best of his team mates which makes him an important part of the team. Aside from this, he has this never say die attitude. But, above all, what makes hims standout is his natural and deep love of riding a bike.
Haikyu!!
This is a volleyball anime. The main thing that keeps me watching this anime series is the action scenes on the court when players start to fly and feels like they are floating in the air for a long time. The action scenes on this anime will surely put you at the edge of your seat. As usual since this is a sports anime, it would still highlight the importance of team work and hard work if you want to excel in any sports. And it sends out a good message that regardless of your size, you can make a big impact on the court as long as you give your heart to what you do and you always aim high.
Kuroko’s Basketball
I am personally a basketball fan so any basketball anime is a great anime for me. This one is unique though compared to the others because their skills are in the extremes. Imagine someone shooting the ball just after the inbound on the other part of the court and guess what, it went in. The main character has the ability to somehow disappear in court and make really tough and accurate pass. Really awesome. If you are into basketball, you would definitely love this anime.
Ace of Diamond
After watching the first season of this anime series, I could already tell that this would be one of the best sports anime that one should consider watching. It has interesting and great characters. Here, you will see the story of a baseball team that has a lot to prove to themselves. Before watching this anime, i was never a fan of baseball and know less about it, but after watching it, i learned a lot regarding the sports. Try watching it now and definitely you'll be hooked.
Hajime No Ippo
This boxing anime is the reason why I started running. Yes, due to the diligence of Ippo in doing his training even if when he is out fishing, it really made a big impact in me. I started doing some exercise then decided to jog in the morning and eventually finished my first ultra marathon. This goes to show that this anime series is very much inspiring. You will learn from the characters that hard work pays off. You will be rewarded if you train hard. If you haven't watched this anime yet, you are missing a lot especially if you are a sports fans.
So what are your thoughts? Is there any sports anime series that you are very fond of as well? It would be great to hear from you.
