The Devil Tesla posted:Yuri on Ice, the cool as gently caress figure skating anime! By Sayo Yamamoto!! is coming out in October. Here's the loving awesome teaser if you haven't seen it yet: I'm ready and for a min I thought there'd be a older cast but there's the random 15 year old  Still going to follow it for fall 2016 though. Typically I don't watch sports but great animation.

Why do people care so much if there's a teen in their anime?

15 years old is accurate tho If you want to debut in the Olympics at age 19, you need to start training for it at age 11

Baby Steps was really good; I like how they spared no animation budget for people's faces so they could do the matches well. Just started watching Ace of the Diamond. I love finding these shows after they've aired and there's a load of episodes to marathon. Wikiman posted:I can't wait for Chihayafuru and Haikyuu to start airing again. Those two are really amazing. I might try Battery out in the meantime. Battery Ep 1 did not sell me on it, post if you watch more and like it. Also, I know Haikyuu is starting up again, but I had no idea another season of Chihayafuru was in the works! You have a source on that?

There's apparently enough manga for them to do another season now, but it's not happened yet, nor has it been announced that it'll be happening. Madhouse did the first two seasons, so they'd likely be doing a third if one was announced.

Madhouse did the first two seasons, so they'd likely be doing a third if one was announced. I thought that might be the case, didn't want to get my hopes up  Ace of the Diamond ended up being pretty weird - Sawamura is a decoy protagonist that lingers for the whole show. It's almost like the author lost interest in him, but had to keep him in the series because of its popularity. UnderFreddy posted:Unfortunately a lot of those episodes, especially the matches, have loads of filler. Like they sometimes spend an entire episode looking at each other and being surprised and talking about how difficult striking out this person in. I remember an episode where the pitcher only threw 1 pitch. It sucked a lot to watch weekly, but might be better when you're binging. Only benefit is that when you're binging it you can skip through it. It was a while before I realized how much of the backstory for antagonists was inconsequential though.

CuLT posted:I thought that might be the case, didn't want to get my hopes up The way I interpret the story is that basically, Furuya is one of those guys who is poo poo-hot in high school baseball because he's tall, strong, and can throw heat where Sawamura is the guy who needs a lot more work to shine but ultimately has far more potential as a pro. I think the series' over all arc will be him slowly overtaking Furuya as the team's real ace.

Fabricated posted:Sawamura is basically a mirror image of some Japanese pitcher that's in the MLB now whose name I can't recall- a dude with a natural pitching form who throws everything but heat. This makes sense, but the pacing is unfortunate. Hace posted:There will never be a third season of Chihayafuru Reported for hate speech

I'm going to assume it's okay to bump a 10 day old megathread with a simple request, apologies if that's not the case. I'm interested in watching an anime that's based around a made up sport, something like Girls und Panzer. Any suggestions?

There's a recent anime called Aokana about some kind of anti-gravity sport, don't know if it's good though. If you're willing to wait for next season, Keijo!!!!!!!! will probably be good, seeing as it's based on a good manga. e: The ranking battles in World Trigger are also reasonably sportsy IMO.

I remember seeing Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus riff on an episode of it (along with a lot of other way worse or just plain weird Anime Zorak gave them) during an LP of theirs and thinking it looked reasonably charming, but that might just be because most of the stuff they riffed on was generally so awkward-to-bad.

Not to my tastes, but they were well-done and it segued into the training camp which was a fun arc, and now it's time for all of that training to pay off!

baby steps is really good, I cannot believe there is a sports manga that features an actual relationship between it's male and female leads rather than will they/won't they for 1000 chapters. also the tennis is good.

DAYS is pretty cute. I've been watching it during my morning rowing. It's not as tense or burning spirit as other sports anime I've watched, but it's enjoyable. I still really love Yowapeda, and some day I want to actually read the manga. Such tense episodes, wherein the race advanced a whole 200m. I enjoyed the first season of Free, but never watched the second. Haikyuu I started and never finished. Maybe I'll restart it after I catch up with DAYS. Excited for Yuri on Ice.  and March Comes in like a Lion, which I've been following for a couple years now. Both look beautiful.

Since I'm all caught up on Haikyuu, and still have a bit of a hankering for sports anime, how is Yowamushi Pedals? I've heard it's good, but a) is this true and b) does it end on a good conclusion? Or is it like Haikyuu where I'm going to finish it and instantly need more of it, because Haikyuu S2 ends with a "TBC in S3!"
