Hrm, as usual I can't stand the weekly wait, so I went ahead and checked out the Baby Steps manga. Ran out of material after 29 volumes, but it's remarkably good. Reminds me a lot of Hajime no Ippo, with the way it's centered around sports outside of school clubs, and has a focus on going professional. Doesn't hurt that the romance actually moves forward every now and then. I just suffered through 38 volumes of Area no Kishi, where it wouldn't move an inch. The direction, music and animation for the Haikyuu anime is so good I'll actually make an attempt at ignoring the manga for now. Perfect first episode, and still fun in the second. Great faces. Yowamushi Pedal's anime looked nice too, but as usual I simply couldn't wait. Decided to give it a break after 28 volumes or so, before it launches into another arc. Very enjoyable manga, particularly successful with introducing opponents in a sympathetic way. Rough art, though. I love sports manga.  Too bad there isn't an infinite amount of it out there.

Haikyuu remains wonderful after 4 episodes.

Haikyuu 6 left me hoarse from laughing out loud too much.

K. Flaps posted:Anyone got an idea about the sales numbers for Haikyuu, and the likelihood of a second season? Vol 1 of the anime has sold over 30k, which makes it a megahit. If there's more manga, there's no way they'll pass up on animating it.

ManOfTheYear posted:Sports manga is surprisingly a ton of fun: All-rounder Meguru is probably my favorite manga now and the Yowamushi pedal is fun too. Where else should I look besides the stuff in the OP? I'm a bit picky about the sport in question (gently caress ballgames) and it seems that a lot of the stuff isn't too sport specific, like if it's about swimming it's just fanservice or something. Hajime no Ippo, Initial D, Hikaru no Go, all great titles with a sports shounen feel. If you can stand at least trying ball games, Slam Dunk and Major are both excellent.

If anyone's wondering, Haikyuu is still supremely wonderful watching.

Everything Burrito posted:The character development through this last match has been pretty great. I love that Kageyama and Sugawara can be competitive with each other without being needlessly antagonistic and push each other to improve. Yeah. Speaking of character development, (Haikyuu ep 21) when Suga substitutes with Kageyama, he's about to say 「勝てよ」 but changes his mind, going instead with 「勝つぞ」. While the CR subs just have this translated as "Let's win!" in both cases, my interpretation is that the former should have been translated along the lines of "Go win this!" with the latter being "Let's win this!" It's a display of how Suga changes his mindset, going from being a bystander asking others to win, to being a part of the team at all times even if he's not active on the court. Not sure if the subs conveyed that. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

I think Kuroko no Basket is a lot closer to the likes of Prince of Tennis than Haikyuu. They're in their own little area of sports shounen, where it's like watching super powered battles with tennis balls or basket balls as weapons. I still love them, mind you.

If you're itching for basketball in particular, Slam Dunk is the right choice every time.
