I'm really sold on Days, it's purely a conventional sports anime but it moves fast and can be delightfully evil. The best part was the end of this week's ep, where the super serious team captain talks about kicking a soccer ball the same way Hinata talks about hitting volleyballs, all "boof" and "ker-splash!" I think I finally understand soccer. I believe in Cheer Boys but it doesn't really feel like it's come together yet. There's enough good moments that I'll keep watching tho.

Description of an infamous episode of the late 1960s adaption of Star of the Giants, the first sports manga anime adaption, from Anime: A History by Jonithan Clements. The entire episode consists of one pitch and one hit:quote:[The episode] builds the tension on the pitcher’s mound, as the pitcher draws back his arm and throws the ball. Exploiting the potentially infinite camera positions available to animators, the script zooms in and out of multiple perspectives — the inner monologue of the pitcher himself and the calculating thoughts of the batter he faces; the commentary of the excitable journalists in the outside-broadcast booth; viewers at home yelling at the television; fans in the bleachers; team members on both sides; the pitchers father and dewey-eyed love interest. Coupled with shots of the arena, sudden zooms and splitscreen effects, flashbacks and voiceovers, the sequence occupies the entire first half of the episode, cutting to the commercial break just as the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand. After the commercials, the episode continues with a similar hyperreal deformation of time, pursuing the ball’s trajectory towards the batter, the bat’s connection with the ball, and the frenzy of action among both teams as the batter hits a home run.

Kuroko's Basketball is NOT a sports anime, but in fact a superpower battles show.

Man, Days was really good this week. Tsukamoto is not just abused physically but also verbally and emotionally ( *• ̀ω•́ )b

I did not care about Ping Pong, Karuta, or sports in general until they were made into animes and look where we're at now.

Anyone who's bothered that the protag of Days is some kind of soccer Jesus will probably hate this week's episode. HOWEVER, if you can roll with it kinda owns. Finding a sport to be good at hasn't solved Tsukamoto's many psychological issues.

I'm really digging Days, actually! It's not top-tier but every character has a nice hook, and they're already doing a good job of setting up rivals which means I'm probably in it for the long haul. Im gay and love garbage.

StrixNebulosa posted: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!" Yowamushi Pedal is great! And what he have so far ends at a very good spot, but it's popular enough that they're actually doing another season. It doesn't have the same kind of relationship drama that Haikyuu is very good at, but there's a bunch of great characters and most of their race strategies are awesomely brutal. It's not as well animated, but it does start looking a lot better in the second season which is cool. Also: every episode has a jokey after credits scene which owns. So yea, less BROODING more PEDALING UNTIL YOU'RE HALF DEAD.
