Anyway my question at the end of the last thread never got answered so here it is again:
At the end of the month CR is retiring Dear Boys which is an early 2000s basketball anime. It looks really dated and low-budget but is it worth trying to marathon before they take it down?

Rookies indeed owns, I was bored today and started reading it. Haven't actually started any baseball yet, still in the delinquent fighting part but that's cool because I love that kind of stuff too.

e: finally got to the baseball part

it's great that the vice principal actually turns out to be a pretty cool guy, watching him come around from his initial first impression was great. The principal coming around was good too but not as satisfying because he'd been too much of a villain for most of it and then just kinda turns on a dime, it wasn't the same kind of gradual warming up from watching over them that the other guy had.

shiiiiit I have work to do I have to stop reading this and can't

I sorely neglected both work and sleep to do it but I finished Rookies and it was loving fantastic.

I'd compare its methodology more akin to Akagi than anything else. Especially given the same people worked on both anime adaptions, so there's a lot of similarities in how it's executed.

yeah that's what it felt more like to me.

There is actually a really good sports story in KnB but it's the side plot with Kiyoshi that mostly comes out in the second season.

I prefer binging sport shows in general. No waiting on cliffhanger endings and it makes the drawn-out scenes more tolerable since you're not also stretching them out with a week's wait in between.

I'm so loving excited you have no idea.

I've watched that PV probably a dozen times and still get chills, I hope the whole show is animated like that and they don't cheap out
