Sports Anime?

[PaulMacC]

Can anyone recommend me a really good sports anime like Hajime No Ippo. Something really inspirational. I wish they'd hurry with Ippo Season 3. I love that series so much :(
Does anyone know where the Hajime No Ippo: New Challenger anime ends in the manga?
Heard good things about Eye Shield 21, Prince of Tennis and Slam Dunk?

The anime ends around chapter 398, so you could pick the manga up at chapter 399.

I hear Major is really good. It's a baseball anime that currently has like five seasons, each 26 episodes, with more coming. But I haven't seen it myself so I can't give you my opinion.

One Outs is a really good sports anime, again baseball but also with a gambling element. You should check out Kaiji too, it's an anime about a loser who is in debt because of gambling, and enters this huge gamble to try and get out of it. It has as much suspension as Death Note. Fantastic series, 26 episodes long.

I'm currently reading the manga for Slam Dunk and I'm up to volume thirteen. So far the manga is godly. Its soooo good its almost unbelievable. I hear the anime is good, but it was made quite some time ago so it does look a little dated.

Eyeshield 21 is supposedly good as well, as is Prince of Tennis. Then you have stuff like Initial D, Cross Game, Ookiku Furikabutte, Touch and Over Drive. I started watching Over Drive a while ago, it was okay but nothing much else.

^ Ryuzaki, that doesn't really help him find whats good. :P

[Southe,]

Course it does.

He looks at the list, Picks a name he likes the sound off or goes down them all.
Clicks the name which then takes him to the MAL Page.
Ppls Ratings, reviews, Info on the series.
And can even add it to watching list when he decides ;)
That was really Helpful. :P

Anyway should watch a series based on what ever sport you like in real life.

[Neversoft]

I'm pretty sure Paul doesn't want to go through them all individually.

[PaulMacC]

I'm watching Eyeshield 21.
I dont even like American Football but it is indeed epic.

[PaulMacC]

This anime is epic. It reminds of Ippo.

[Southe,]

you sure? sure its not just epic because its a new series your watching? If i watch and im dispointed im blaming you :(

Tho has Kappei Yamaguchi apparently and hes awesome..

Need to finish monster first on 42, then might look into it.

[PaulMacC]

Nah, you should watch it. It's really well thought out the way they do it. I hate American Football too.

[Southe,]

Eyeshield21 getting a dvd release most likely a sub only so might wait for that. thats 3-4 series have been announced for dvd releases. makes reborn sound more likely.

[PaulMacC]

Nah watch it online, so good.
Even had a piss-take scene where it said "Eyeshield Bushin No Jutsu!"

[Southe,]

nah dvd.. upscales it and im getting surround sound in ma room aswell which would make it awesome :D
