@@jayjayjayjayjayj watched it and currently waiting for the new season. The emotions and anxieties are also realistic but haikyu is better at portraying those things.
@@WeabOtakuPH u clearly havent seen any other animes beside haikyu. its the furthest from realistic, even kuroko no basket is more realistic. haikyuu has the worst plot armour in sports anime - every game is just an asspull last minute win. dia no ace portrays emotions n anxieties much better, also showing that not every game is winnable. just cos its more popular doesnt mean its the best
@@Merazz lol KnB seriously? KnB can't even portray bench player's axieties and worries. All they focused on is the drama between kuroko and Generation of miracles. Yep Diamond no ace is also realistic in terms of anxieties of players specially the bench warmers and those many 2nd and 3rd string players who failed to get into the main string even tho they are 2nd and 3rd years. But it is still far from portraying realism than haikyu. When you see Pro Volleyball players react to haikyu, they get impressed by how precise the form and move of players are. Haikyu also focuses on small play details deeper than how Dia no ace and KnB does it. And also the Wisdom of the coaches in Haikyu is top notch. They portray how the best coaches in the world speak and treat their players. the words they speak are straight wisdom and applicable in both sports and life. Haikyu is an anime based on the true story of Haruichi Furodate who portrayed himself as the little giant who is the inspiration of Hinata. Little giant who is tenma Udai became a manga author or maybe illustrator in the time skip of haikyu. So the author haruichi had so much experience when it came to sports that is why athletes like me even tho my sport is basketball, I relate 100% to what some haikyu characters go through because I experienced them back then when I was a varsity player at my high school. Haikyu is popular nott just because it is a hyped sports anime, but an anime that is easy to understand for most of the people but also an anime thatt is 100% relatable to athletes specially high school and college ones. I get what you say about diamond no ace that they have to lose so much before getting to where they at now. But in haikyu, the seniors lost too much too in their 1st and 2nd years. They only get to experience winning when the super talented 1st years came in and they got through character development themselves as seniors. And haikyu is a real example of how pro players in real life get to their dream of becoming pro players. They get scouted in some tournaments then invited to training camps where national coaches are, observed through the years then get invited to colleges that will help them get exposure to pro or college volleyball. haikyu is the best, i can't explain all thoughts in my mind right now because there is so many to process but If you are an athlete, an experienced team player who played atleast in high school or college. You'll get what I'm saying and you know Haikyu is the best sports anime of all time.
@@WeabOtakuPH i can tell you havent fully finished dia no ace, and maybe only seen the first season at best. they also have a international training camp with japans best players and actually face against the US team. its a similar arc to the one your talking about ( its in Act II). and ur telling me that the seniors in haikyuu get character development? lol its just the 2 first years joining a shitty team (only nishinoya was good) and magically after a couple games they are beating national teams, going to nationals and even winning their first games there. dia no ace already had a powerful team and were missing a pitcher, but the reason it stands out above haikyuu is that the competition is ACTUALLY good. inashiro, yakushi, seiko. those games were all thrillers, they actually were ONE game away from nationals and had to RESTART over again with a new team. haikyuu logic: first years carry them to nationals. its legit plot armour, it will NEVER happen irl. because u have to gain way more experience, build chemistry and experience crushing defeat. haikyuu doesnt do that. sports doesnt work that way. i have played sports since i was 6 so i can also relate with what ur saying. but your just biased towards your feelings towards haikyuu. its fine its a good show for ENTERTAINMENT. its not a realistic portrayal in terms of storyline. maybe emotional, yes. but continuous winning with that team? maybe baseball is just more difficult and you cant just win with two fresh first years. i dont know but i just dont like haikyuu for its poor plot sorry. dia no ace beats it in plot, emotion and character development. if u dont think so : does hinata have better character development then sawamura? which character has better development, i wanna see some opinions
Dia no ace massively underrated. Yeah i know its slower than many others, but that makes the big scenes so much greater. You know how much hard work is behind every pitch. For me Dia no Ace is so great i didnt watch any other sports anime for a year after it cause i thought no other could give me these feelings. Which is certainly true but i like others as well
Diamond no ace is the most relistic one and most relatable for athletes with no bs about the mc is always starting or how the 3 years stays after the summer game like in haikyu
As a tennis player I fee like Prince of Tennis is pretty bad. The anime story etc... is nice but the sport, on itself hmm. The other anime have done better making it realistic. Still sad that we can't have a decent tennis movie, anime, or even game for that matter haha! Baby steps look a little bit better tennis wise to my opinion!
When I first watched Haikyuu , it was a very amazing sports anime and therefore I proclaim it as one of the best Sports anime of all time but after watching Ace of diamonds , I change my mind. I can't help but read the manga as I was so curious of Seidou's development because they've been through a lot of loss in games. Still though I love both Animes ❣️ still waiting for the Haikyuu movies and still waiting for Ace of diamonds chapters !
I relate to this on a spiritual level. I was introduced to Haikyuu in march and watched it everyday till about September. I watched some here and there but didn’t watch diamond no ace because i wasnt a sub typa person. But after falling in love with Yowamushi pedal, a sub, i gave it a shot. And let me just say I haven’t had a good night sleep since. Its the best thing I’ve ever watched i swear to god, its all i want to do
Kuroko no basket is one of the best Sport Anime that i ever watched 🤩😍🏀💪⚡ Edit 2022: Gotta agree with slam dunk and other sports anime but Manga slam dunk was peak 🤌
Haikyuu! in my opinion is masterful writing at its finest. The product of a truly great mind. I aspire to write characters this incredibly well. I especially love how deep it dives into the sport it portrays. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to and more. I think it deserves all the praise it gets.
ace of diamond is the kind of anime that stays with you forever because of how frustrating it is when sawamura falls but i can watch ace of diamond over and over again
1 - AO ASHI ( manga . it's just too good . It is not at all talked about in the manga community) 2 - hajime no ippo 3 - haikyuu Haven't tried Slam dunk tho
If you ever do competitive sport and watch many sports anime, you'll appreciate Haikyuu - The anxiety as a player/bench player/supporter - The story - The realistic, the best are not superhuman/the skill & technique/player rotation/supporter chant
For me Daiya No Ace will always have a special place in my heart. The journey how Ei-chan toward his dream is so fulfilling, the anime made me a proud mother 🤧. Haikyuu will be my most favorite but other sports anime are good too like Days, Re:Main, Knockout, SlamDunk,Prince of Tennis, Backflip, OneOuts, KurokoNoBasuke and more. I wish more sports anime will come. I love this genre despite I am a frail type person who can't do sports. 😆
Agreed! It's really good. Another anime I would like to hightlight that missed the list would be "Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls". Finished it in one day(yesterday) and is super hyped on it atm :D
@@thebardock6785 maybe bcs the premise itself focused more onto slice of life/drama anime than the sports itself. i love slice of life + sports anime so this one is a perfect anime for me, but if we are looking for adrenaline rush type of anime, it's not it. I recommend you to wait for blue lock, a soccer anime that will come out next year 👌
Run with the wind gave me some new emotions from sport anime, the atmosphere is unique. I recommend! Haikyuu is all times best for me! I’m biased because I’m a volleyball player. But still this is the most realistic ball anime I’ve seen while being so hyped as if it’s about super powers. Diamond no Ace taught me a lot about baseball from 0. This is my 2d favorite, the art is really good.
Diamond no Ace is no doubt the best sports anime. The fact that it's been fifteen years and the manga/anime is still ongoing (and we're only in the second high school year and everyone can tell we're only halfway there) and actually showed the insane amount of growth the main character had in a slow, painful but remarkable, rewarding process cemented it. Also, its realism. With the exclusion of Sawamura Eijun, you can't love or hate anyone completely in Daiya. The characters are portrayed like actual human beings, capable of giving us, readers/watchers, joy and disappointment with their words and choices. That's something not all works of literature has - imperfect characters, and them being not perfect makes them even more lovable, makes us relate to them in a deeper level. One last thing, Daiya no Ace has Sawamura Eijun. Period. But anyway, all sports anime are great. You won't get bored or hate any anime under the sports genre. For real.
how does nobody know Inazuma Eleven, it's an amazing football anime. Every boy I know in the Netherlands loved the show when they were young and when we play the sport together, we call supershots from the series.
True. I can't believe it was underrated. It was so good, it had me sleepless for a couple of nights just to finish it 'cause I can't wait for tomorrow 💕 IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING!
@@aliejertortillas5595 well it wasnt, it wasnt just hyped as the other anime because its a rather new one but still has like 200 episodes. Like, noone watches those really long animes anymore unless its some classic like one piece or dragonball. the newer ones all have like 12/25 episodes and then basically end or get another 12/25 episodes in the next season.
For me, Diamond No Ace and Haikyuu is one of the best anime. Along with Slamdunk and Hajime No Ippo. These anime will forever be in my heart. Even if many years will come.
I don't know if this anime is counted as a sports anime but I would like to share this to everyone. Tsurune is an archary anime. It is a good and an underrated anime.
Haikyuu was the first sports anime I’ve watched next was kuroko. Rewatched it a couple of times too but after watching diamond no ace I had to say it’s my all time fave now out of the three! 👌🏻 great MC and team it’s also funny and inspiring haha
I agree with Hajime no Ippo, Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basuke being a top 5sports anime.. but Slam Dunk without a doubt, no debate, takes top place. Sure, the animation is somewhat dated, but the storytelling was a pure masterpiece paced so perfectly and relatable. It inspired a whole generation. and yes, even Naruto's Thousand Years of Pain was first seen here in Slam Dunk (the character dynamic between sakuragi and rukawa is also somewhat similar to naruto and sasuke). The movie just came out 2months ago and it was good too. For me, in order of merit, it would be Slam Dunk Ippo Kuroko no Basuke Haikyuu other notable sports anime that i believe should take top 5 to 10 in this list but were not included in this video, in no order of merit are Initial D (motor sport drifting. also inspired a generation before Fast & Furious ever did) Major (Baseball) (imo, better than Diamond no Ace) Prince of Tennis Eyeshield21 (american football) Ashita no Joe (boxing) and considering this video was posted 2yrs ago, I wanna add recent anime, Ao Ashi (football/soccer) and Blue Lock (football/soccer) i like Ao Ashi a lot better than Blue Lock as it is a much more realistic anime that talks about team work, positioning, strategy both large and small, etc while Blue Lock feels more like a survivor anime centering around football. It is however, much more dynamic in animation and thats maybe why its more appealing to people not into sports. Also very popular was Free! (swimming) and Yuri on Ice (figure skating), altho these were more like yaoi lifestyle series that centered around swimming/figure skating (so not sure if i should classify them as sports anime)
Diamond no Ace is the best anime sports I've ever watch. I watch it without knowing anything about baseball and came to love the sports. It is that great. You can't help yourself not to anticipate what's coming next because it has a lot to offer. Hope more people witness this masterpiece.
Diamond no ace is heart wrenching. Watching Sawamura struggle, yet still maintain his smile is really touching. Every little success he has makes me cheer like crazy.
If it's all time sports anime, SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue that came out during the 90's should be in the list. Slam Dunk literally influenced Kuroko no Basket and Ahiru No Sora. It even influence the popularity of Basketball scene in Japan, that the Japan Basketball Association gave Takehiko Inoue a special commendation for helping popularized Basketball in Japan. And I think ONE OUTS (Baseball) is also a good sports anime, that could have been in this list.
Yowamushi Pedal is my favorite!! so many funny, emotional moments and the best characters/development I have ever honestly seen in an anime. I'm sad because I feel like it got overshadowed by My Hero since Onoda's VA also does Midoriya. Still waiting for season 5 to be animated 3 years later D:
Honorable mention: Inazuma Eleven. There are a lot of lists which do not include it, and I am surprised that this 24 minute 30 second video does not mention it. Just wanted to say that it is a good anime and is the reason I started playing football because before a lot of people here play football, but I wasn't inspired so this anime inspired me. Thanks for your time.
I think in this time and age, I think most people would prefer kuroko no basuke over slam dunk. Ive seen both, slam dunk is really good with the character development though, and the manga is very popular still. 4th most bought manga I believe
@@georgepierre3594 I'd pass on both tbh. But Slam dunk is slightly better imo (mostly cause it doesnt deal with ridiculous super powers that makes no sense. xD)
@@georgepierre3594 to this day slam dunk is still way more known and popular worldwide and especially in asia than kuroko will ever be, even in it's peak kuroko wasn't as popular as slam dunk a show that ended 15 years before
I think that ahiru no sora is one of the most underrated sports anime the way that team plays is so fun to watch people should definitely talk about it more
@@patricianicolemarin1174 that is the beauty of ahiru no sora it shows you that basketball couldn't be just won with heart or one player it is a team game and every person on that team has to play good that's why it's special
Ace of diamond will always be my favourite sport anime of all time and idk why this anime is so underestimate, everyone always talking about haikyuu and kuroko, but ace of diamond can definitely rival with both of them, and that’s too bad that nobody never talk about this masterpiece. The thing i like the most in it is that it is one of the most realistic sport anime i’ve ever seen (that’s why main character’s development is slow and ppl who complain about this don’t understand it lmao) and i think it’s so much better than sport animes with overpowered characters and unrealistic things, but it’s just my opinion ^^ and all characters are really endearing 😭❤️anyway guys go watch this masterpiece!!
Gosh! I totally agree! Diamond no Ace is one of my most favorite anime aside from Haikyuu. It's so good I can't get enough of it. I watched it so many times ❤️❤️
Hmm I've been scrolling a lot, and it does seem underrated, a lot of ppl talk about kuroko and haikyuu, but I've seen diamond no ace a lot too, since so many ppl liked it, Im kinda planning to watch it, may I ask if it's comedy? Edit: I really like comedy and sports combined in anime
My top 5 : - Haikyuu ( inspired me so much that I started playing volley-ball ) - Run with the wind ( unfortunatly I don’t have the endurance to run 10km ) - Ballroom e youkoso (never expected to love it so much) - Yuri on Ice (I tought it would be around top 10 in the vid, really good sport anime) - Ao ashi (being the only sport anime airing right now I’m hyped)
I can't understand why you love ballroom so much.. I ust completed it before coming here.. The beginning is good but as the story progresses, it just gets worse..
Kuroko no Basket is Always #1 for me. I don't think that any Sports anime can make a match more epic and interesting with insanely overwhealming techniques. And that's all that matters for me.
@@chandnvfx I will admit Haikyu is best in terms of writing. It’s definitely near the top. But Kurokos basketball will always be my absolute favorite and number 1. It just hit me differently.
I'm so happy you added Ballroom e Youkoso!! Also I recommend Stars Align if you liked Hanebado and Run with the Wind. They focus on the personal lives of the members as well n it's quite realistic
I used to hate volleyball.. until I watched Haikyuu. Not only is it an incredible anime, compelling and amazingly done, but it also had me grow an interest in this sport. That's how good it is.
I'm not surprised no one talks about Chihayafuru, while imo it's definitely the best in terms of story and characters, the animation is just lacking I am surprised tho, that Ballroom went so much under the radar, it's definitely a nice watch
Facts. I just started watching it a few weeks ago. I'm on episode 75. That fight between Ippo and Sendo was insane. What I about Hajime No Ippo is that I can see te impact ofevery punch compared to some of my favorite animes like DBZ or Naruto you can't tell how impactful the blows a person receives in those anime.
I'm happy that you included Welcome to the Ballroom in the top 10 list, and I say it really fits on the 6th place. The anime is just too good, it's one of my favorites ever!
Ballroom e youkoso is amazing and underated! I’ve never meet anyone who has seen it but I’m truly in love with the series and recommend everyone to see it
Diamond No Ace is number 1 for me. I would say it is exciting, funny and painful at the same time. Maybe Hajime No Hippo deserves it too but it ‘s been a long time since I watched it so I can’t remember much of it now like Slam Dunk. Kuroko No Basuke is the one that I always rewatched because it is enjoyable to watch. And until now whenever I miss it I watch clips or some episodes of it. It just doesn’t make me bored. Free! is my love because my baby Haru is there and it is really a great anime too. There’s fun times and sad times too. Prince of Tennis shouldn’t be neglected too as it is one of the best sports anime even though it is kind of old. I still remember most of it. I just can’t get enough of it. I hope they will continue it and end the story well. Please don’t leave us hanging. Haikyuu is enjoyable and a lot of comedy sides and exciting times but for some reason I lost interest in it especially on season 3. But I will continue to watch it nonetheless. I like Chihayafuru because it is quite different but I hate to know where the romance would lead to because it might disappoint me. I like Prince of Stride too but it is too short. There’s more but this are the ones I remembered the most. :D
@@inazumamania2898 ikr that's hilarious LOL kids all over the globe, especially Japan, literally started learning basketball because of Slam Dunk. It was that influential.
Haikyuu is phenomenal I have rewatched it several times and can’t wait for the new season. Run with the wind is a hidden gem, and I’ll have to check out ace of diamond after reading all these comments!!
@Vortex Extreme dude, you just said all you care about is hype. Haikyuu characters actually have development. The antagonists are also better written. Oikawa, Atsumu, Nekoma as a whole. Kuroko no basket has 7 good characters. The generation of miracles and Kagami. Haikyuu has Hinata, Noya, Tanaka,Kageyama, Tsukishima, Bokuto, Oikawa, Miya atsumu, Kuroo, Kenma, Wakatoshi, Asahi, Hoshiumi,Iwaizumi,Tendo, Yamaguchi.
Ashita no joe and ping pong are tops for me. Ace of diamond, Slam dunk, Major, One outs, and Chihayafuru next. Haikyuu is only 8th for me. its good but not nearly as good as many other ones imo
My Top 3 Sports Anime (edited) 1. Major (baseball) - Character development in this show is *chefs kiss*. 10/10. You deadass get to see his whole baseball life. Season 1 starts with the MC at a very young age, and it just progresses from there; little league, high school, minor league and so forth. I noticed that it focuses more on character development and training, which makes it sensational imo. I haven't watched the remaining episodes after minor league (season 5?) but I am confident to say that this is a great sports anime to watch. 2. Diamond no Ace (baseball) - Honestly am a fan of this show. I need more friends to talk about this one. Besides the fact that it's incredibly slow, it's very enjoyable and fun to watch. I've seen people mention that it has a somewhat realistic portrayal of competitive sports, so that's that. Oh and let's not forget the characters. We have a big cast here but I honestly love them! Imo some(maybe most) are underdeveloped?? But disregarding that, it's a fun cast! 3. Kuroko no Basket - this one is sooo good! It used to be my top 1 but i just found sports anime that surpassed it. i really recommend watching it! especially with the likable characters and good story.
dafuck. your number 3 is so random considering your first and second. Diamond no ace and Major are all about realistic coming of age sports animes with struggles, drama and humor. Then you have Kuroko no basket that is..super powers and other silliness that doesnt have much to do with sports. xD
@@andreaskarlsson5251 well considering the fact that i haven’t watched much sports anime is the reason why kuroko is part of my top 3. and like i mentioned it used to be my top 1 but i found other anime that surpassed it which is likely to happen again so it’s not random lmaoo. i get what ure saying and i agree with it but kuroko was really fun and entertaining to watch if u exclude the character development and all absjdkdjkdke
@@eatmybooty-ei9oe yeah I remember enjoying kuroko somewhat too. But I wouldnt call it a sports anime even if basket is involved. 😆 Feels more bsttle shonen to me. Sports animes are shows like diamond no ace, haikyuu and all out. A real team, some drama, lots of practice, struggles while aiming for the top, and most importantly realistic. 😊 On another note, Iwa-Kakeru! Check out that anime. Its about a few girls getting into sports climbing. Its saddening short(released last year so hoping for s2 though). Its somewhere inbetween "my version" of sports animes and kuroko no basket. Think youll like it. 👍 P.s. its not the normal shit sports anime that tends to come with all female casts 😆
@@andreaskarlsson5251 trueeee! it is more like battle shonen than sports anime. But the super powers and unrealistic-ness makes it enjoyable to watch, like the emperor’s eye. really cool sht if u ask me. currently watching haikyuu and it is really good! now i understand why the fandom is huge (disregarding the trend watchers), its really worth watching. One Outs is in my watch list so I’ll see what it’s about. Ohhhhh okay! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve been finding a sports anime like diamond no ace and major so ig i’ll check it out!
"Kuroko no Basket" will always be No.1 for me 💙🏀 I have watched many sports anime even "Haikyuu" but no one can beat Kuroko in my opinion. It is just perfect
Haikyuu will always be my favorite sports Anime. It has a good Fandom (besides the shipping), good storyline, good character and a good ending. (Manga) Still waiting for that season 5 tho. (Also don't even try saying that its trash, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad)
Hajime no Ippo is my most favourite anime of all time. It has everything. But almost the same I could say about Haikyuu, Yowamushi pedal. I am kinda disappointed to not seeing there some great old aniame like Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21 at least or famous and great Captain Tsubasa. Prince of Tennis. But never mind. Every one of us likes different things. I saw almost every anime u mentioned and Ahiru no Sora is way better than Kuroko no Basuke in my opinion. Ok, Kuroko has great action. But what I love about Ahiru no Sora is that how realistic it is. Taking their time to introduce every main character of the team. I just loved it! Sumo is pretty cool too, it's just short. Same goes for backflip or Prince of Stride. But good recomendations. At least I loved seeing HnI and Haikyuu at top 2, cuz this shit is real xD
I really want to recommend major. I’ve watch many sports anime such as haikyuu, diamond no ace, kuroko and many more, it has many episodes but it really touch me and for now it is my best anime
Diamond no ace is one of the best. it is impossible not to empathize with the players. Every frustration that remains after certain chapters is an incredible thing and shows that it is an anime that aims at the realism of sport
@@Chaser3d18 give major a try, diamond no ace's author himself said that he was inspired from major.. and major not only takes the lives of the characters seriously but their whole life journey and its one of the best shows ive ever watched in my lifetime.. its baseball btw
My top 3 is haikyuu, Kuroko basket, Free! ... best sport anime ever I hope I can find more like these I’m seriously open for recommendations thank you!!
@@bestjohnny6296 No, if you want to play B-ball don’t try to imitate that stuff, next thing you know somebody bout to play hard defense on you and you get clamped up
Also, I’d like to recommend Big Windup! It’s simple, main hero is overly timid, but still I watched with joy. Nice to relax.Not to everyone’s taste probably.
I finally made an updated version: ruclips.net/video/xXfjvgCQP3o/видео.html, let me know what you think!

@@ashleynadela3196 zoro or 9@nime
FUCK YES, yea ik im a year late but im hyped like a mf. SAWAMUTHAFUCKINMURA hyped
I love how Diamond no Ace is always so high in these tops, but still only a few people have seen it
I agree it's always my to-go-to sports anime if I feel like watching anime but doesn't want to watch new anime..... basically it's my comfort anime
Aurora una sorella op
Lol major is way more underrated..like no one just noticed its masterpiece
@@Yoowwyawwye Thanks for talking about it. I think I'm going to check it out
@@auroraragazzoni4533 no problem,major is really good,you wont regret it i promise,tell me if you watched it and if you liked it ok?
I have watching so many sport anime but no one can beat haikyuu to me. Haikyuu always number 1.💚
same
Inazuma eleven 😢
Same
Kuroko no basket better in my opinion
Manga will spoil your mood 😭😭😭😭
2023 blue lock gang👇
Well, S2's been a ride
I'm surprised that Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis was not on this top 20 sports anime list of all time. They were amazing.
Prince of tennis is super underrated, I just finished watching it all and it was fire
Eyeshield 21 was 🔥🔥🔥
Try Major
Ikrrrr such a shame
As a tennis player I fee like Prince of Tennis is pretty bad. The anime story etc... is nice but the sport, on itself hmm. The other anime have done better making it realistic. Still sad that we can't have a decent tennis movie, anime, or even game for that matter haha! Baby steps look a little bit better tennis wise to my opinion!
I literally can't get over haikyuu 😧. Waiting for season 5.
Where can i find all seasons?
@@animax7195 anime dao and crunchyroll

Im actually gonna enter a volleyball club when my knees heal :)
Thanks haikyuu
Diamond no ace as nice as haikyuu too
When I first watched Haikyuu , it was a very amazing sports anime and therefore I proclaim it as one of the best Sports anime of all time but after watching Ace of diamonds , I change my mind.
I can't help but read the manga as I was so curious of Seidou's development because they've been through a lot of loss in games.
Still though I love both Animes ❣️ still waiting for the Haikyuu movies and still waiting for Ace of diamonds chapters !
I relate to this on a spiritual level. I was introduced to Haikyuu in march and watched it everyday till about September. I watched some here and there but didn’t watch diamond no ace because i wasnt a sub typa person. But after falling in love with Yowamushi pedal, a sub, i gave it a shot. And let me just say I haven’t had a good night sleep since. Its the best thing I’ve ever watched i swear to god, its all i want to do
unpopular opinion: Haikyuu is the best anime of all time
Actually im currently watching haikyuu I hope to watch ace of diamonds
I had the same experience! Ace of diamond is amazing
I prefer haikyuu I Just love it more but diamond no ace Is still a good anime
Kuroko no basket is one of the best Sport Anime that i ever watched 🤩😍🏀💪⚡
Edit 2022:
Gotta agree with slam dunk and other sports anime but Manga slam dunk was peak 🤌
True
Ye my favorite
Ikr fax
Same with haikyuu
Same,my favorite
Is it just me or i already knew haikyuu was going to be the first
haha
If it hadnt been #1 then the list wouldnt have been correct. :D
Yowamushi Pedal is the best
Ayeeee ikr
@@andreaskarlsson5251 nigga it’s already wrong KNB is easily the best sports anime of all time it’s not even funny😑
Haikyuu! in my opinion is masterful writing at its finest. The product of a truly great mind. I aspire to write characters this incredibly well. I especially love how deep it dives into the sport it portrays. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to and more. I think it deserves all the praise it gets.
Is there gonna be another season? Like season 5?

ace of diamond is the kind of anime that stays with you forever because of how frustrating it is when sawamura falls but i can watch ace of diamond over and over again

So true

My top 3
1. Slam dunk
2. Diamond no ace
3. Hajime no ippo
you have a very nostalgic taste(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
Same bro but 1. Haiji
2. Slam
3. Diamond ☺️
1 - AO ASHI ( manga . it's just too good . It is not at all talked about in the manga community)
2 - hajime no ippo
3 - haikyuu
Haven't tried Slam dunk tho
If you ever do competitive sport and watch many sports anime, you'll appreciate Haikyuu
- The anxiety as a player/bench player/supporter
- The story
- The realistic, the best are not superhuman/the skill & technique/player rotation/supporter chant
I respect that but DIAMOND NO ACE fits that description like a shoe.
For me Daiya No Ace will always have a special place in my heart. The journey how Ei-chan toward his dream is so fulfilling, the anime made me a proud mother 🤧. Haikyuu will be my most favorite but other sports anime are good too like Days, Re:Main, Knockout, SlamDunk,Prince of Tennis, Backflip, OneOuts, KurokoNoBasuke and more. I wish more sports anime will come. I love this genre despite I am a frail type person who can't do sports. 😆
I suggest you watch Ao Ashi, it's a soccer anime that's still ongoing.
@@TheGunzbeep-TG thank you for the suggestion ^^
OMG!! Same, I've watched so many anime and Ace of Diamond still the best for me❤
@@nnaprl it was also the most frustrating sports anime for me too 😆
@@yuascarlet427 Yes, sometimes I think Terajima-sensei hates Eijun😭
Run with the wind is a masterpiece. Absolutely a worth to watch
Normally I love sports anime but Im having trouble getting into that one.
Agreed! It's really good. Another anime I would like to hightlight that missed the list would be "Iwa Kakeru!: Sport Climbing Girls". Finished it in one day(yesterday) and is super hyped on it atm :D
i finished it yesterday, it was a refreshing change from the usual sports animes, i wld say this one was very comforting
@@thebardock6785 yeah happens bro I had the same problem with slam dunk but after few episode I enjoyed it watching
@@thebardock6785 maybe bcs the premise itself focused more onto slice of life/drama anime than the sports itself. i love slice of life + sports anime so this one is a perfect anime for me, but if we are looking for adrenaline rush type of anime, it's not it.
I recommend you to wait for blue lock, a soccer anime that will come out next year 👌
Run With the Wind was a Masterpiece Indeed!
Run with the wind gave me some new emotions from sport anime, the atmosphere is unique. I recommend!
Haikyuu is all times best for me! I’m biased because I’m a volleyball player. But still this is the most realistic ball anime I’ve seen while being so hyped as if it’s about super powers.
Diamond no Ace taught me a lot about baseball from 0. This is my 2d favorite, the art is really good.
Run with the wind is in my all time favourite list
Where can i whatcht it? I dont find the Anime onRUclips
True. Run with the wind is probably my best sports anime currently, it got so many feels.
Finally someone appreciate run with the wind😭❤
@@rebeccaleistikow4759 its currently on crunchyroll
Diamond no Ace is no doubt the best sports anime. The fact that it's been fifteen years and the manga/anime is still ongoing (and we're only in the second high school year and everyone can tell we're only halfway there) and actually showed the insane amount of growth the main character had in a slow, painful but remarkable, rewarding process cemented it. Also, its realism. With the exclusion of Sawamura Eijun, you can't love or hate anyone completely in Daiya. The characters are portrayed like actual human beings, capable of giving us, readers/watchers, joy and disappointment with their words and choices. That's something not all works of literature has - imperfect characters, and them being not perfect makes them even more lovable, makes us relate to them in a deeper level. One last thing, Daiya no Ace has Sawamura Eijun. Period.
But anyway, all sports anime are great. You won't get bored or hate any anime under the sports genre. For real.
Beautiful analysis
CHRIS SENPAI!
i agree 100% this list is so bias
💯
frrr
how does nobody know Inazuma Eleven, it's an amazing football anime.
Every boy I know in the Netherlands loved the show when they were young and when we play the sport together, we call supershots from the series.
It’s the best idk what anyone says
Het is gwn de beste niet iedereen kan perfectie zien
Of my favourite
for me no. 1 is Diamond no ace. I've never watched a sport anime with so much tensions, joy, sadness.
Yeah it's my favorite with Haikyuu 😉
Frrrrr it's my no.1 anime
you should see haikyuu
True. I can't believe it was underrated. It was so good, it had me sleepless for a couple of nights just to finish it 'cause I can't wait for tomorrow 💕 IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING!
@@aliejertortillas5595 well it wasnt, it wasnt just hyped as the other anime because its a rather new one but still has like 200 episodes.
Like, noone watches those really long animes anymore unless its some classic like one piece or dragonball.
the newer ones all have like 12/25 episodes
and then basically end or get another 12/25 episodes in the next season.
For me, Diamond No Ace and Haikyuu is one of the best anime. Along with Slamdunk and Hajime No Ippo. These anime will forever be in my heart. Even if many years will come.
I don't know if this anime is counted as a sports anime but I would like to share this to everyone.
Tsurune is an archary anime.
It is a good and an underrated anime.
OMG! So true. I love that anime. Thank you for mentioning Tsurune😭❤
Haikyuu was the first sports anime I’ve watched next was kuroko. Rewatched it a couple of times too but after watching diamond no ace I had to say it’s my all time fave now out of the three! 👌🏻 great MC and team it’s also funny and inspiring haha
Try watching Re-main ^_^
Same here
Same!! Try watching ace of diamond. It rivaled haikyuu and kuroko. Not gonna regret it i promise!
Totally agree. So much character depth in DNA
could you tell me the order in which I should watch Kuroko no basuke? I just started it and am super confused
ashita no joe and slam dunk deserve to be on this list they are literally the pioneers of all the sports animes today
I agree with Hajime no Ippo, Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basuke being a top 5sports anime.. but Slam Dunk without a doubt, no debate, takes top place. Sure, the animation is somewhat dated, but the storytelling was a pure masterpiece paced so perfectly and relatable. It inspired a whole generation. and yes, even Naruto's Thousand Years of Pain was first seen here in Slam Dunk (the character dynamic between sakuragi and rukawa is also somewhat similar to naruto and sasuke). The movie just came out 2months ago and it was good too. For me, in order of merit, it would be
Slam Dunk
Ippo
Kuroko no Basuke
Haikyuu
other notable sports anime that i believe should take top 5 to 10 in this list but were not included in this video, in no order of merit are
Initial D (motor sport drifting. also inspired a generation before Fast & Furious ever did)
Major (Baseball) (imo, better than Diamond no Ace)
Prince of Tennis
Eyeshield21 (american football)
Ashita no Joe (boxing)
and considering this video was posted 2yrs ago, I wanna add recent anime, Ao Ashi (football/soccer) and Blue Lock (football/soccer)
i like Ao Ashi a lot better than Blue Lock as it is a much more realistic anime that talks about team work, positioning, strategy both large and small, etc while Blue Lock feels more like a survivor anime centering around football. It is however, much more dynamic in animation and thats maybe why its more appealing to people not into sports.
Also very popular was Free! (swimming) and Yuri on Ice (figure skating), altho these were more like yaoi lifestyle series that centered around swimming/figure skating (so not sure if i should classify them as sports anime)
Personally I'd replace kuroku no basket with ping pong, other than that really good list
Blue Lock is not for kids😂
i was looking for slam dunk like where is it
Diamond no Ace is the best anime sports I've ever watch. I watch it without knowing anything about baseball and came to love the sports. It is that great. You can't help yourself not to anticipate what's coming next because it has a lot to offer. Hope more people witness this masterpiece.
If you liked Diamond no ace then please watch one outs. It’s a baseball anime as well and it’s sooooo good and underwatched
Diamond no ace is heart wrenching. Watching Sawamura struggle, yet still maintain his smile is really touching. Every little success he has makes me cheer like crazy.
Same here, after watching diamond no ace. I watched Major too
@@noelcorbita7312 which was better
Slam dunk, Major and Diamond no Ace will always be my favourite sport anime/manga.
Can't wait for the sequels of these ones.
i hope for a new series for slam dunk, and maybe an adaptation of the last tournament
Same, I'm still waiting on Slam Dunk. 🤗
Majooooor!
Tsubasa be like:im gonna let them have fun
If it's all time sports anime, SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue that came out during the 90's should be in the list. Slam Dunk literally influenced Kuroko no Basket and Ahiru No Sora. It even influence the popularity of Basketball scene in Japan, that the Japan Basketball Association gave Takehiko Inoue a special commendation for helping popularized Basketball in Japan.
And I think ONE OUTS (Baseball) is also a good sports anime, that could have been in this list.
yea i agree, but the manga is far better then the slam dunk manga ngl
Slam dunk is the best sports anime of all time and manga
8th most selled manga of all time btw
They forgot major too like baseball that’s og

Honorable mention: Inazuma Eleven. There are a lot of lists which do not include it, and I am surprised that this 24 minute 30 second video does not mention it. Just wanted to say that it is a good anime and is the reason I started playing football because before a lot of people here play football, but I wasn't inspired so this anime inspired me.

No Slam Dunk? The pioneer of all the basketball animes today. What a laughable list.
facts smh
I think in this time and age, I think most people would prefer kuroko no basuke over slam dunk. Ive seen both, slam dunk is really good with the character development though, and the manga is very popular still. 4th most bought manga I believe
facts. kuroko no basket is wack compared to slam dunk
@@georgepierre3594 I'd pass on both tbh. But Slam dunk is slightly better imo (mostly cause it doesnt deal with ridiculous super powers that makes no sense. xD)
@@georgepierre3594 to this day slam dunk is still way more known and popular worldwide and especially in asia than kuroko will ever be, even in it's peak kuroko wasn't as popular as slam dunk a show that ended 15 years before

I really want a season 4 though but I know they ain’t gonna make it 😭

I think that ahiru no sora is one of the most underrated sports anime the way that team plays is so fun to watch people should definitely talk about it more
it should be that people got tired watching them always defeated.
@@patricianicolemarin1174 that is the beauty of ahiru no sora it shows you that basketball couldn't be just won with heart or one player it is a team game and every person on that team has to play good that's why it's special
but its kinda same to slam dunk
There is baby steps and lot more way underarted
Need Season 2 of Ahiru no sora
I want to see the team join to Inter high Tournament next year
Ace of diamond will always be my favourite sport anime of all time and idk why this anime is so underestimate, everyone always talking about haikyuu and kuroko, but ace of diamond can definitely rival with both of them, and that’s too bad that nobody never talk about this masterpiece. The thing i like the most in it is that it is one of the most realistic sport anime i’ve ever seen (that’s why main character’s development is slow and ppl who complain about this don’t understand it lmao) and i think it’s so much better than sport animes with overpowered characters and unrealistic things, but it’s just my opinion ^^ and all characters are really endearing 😭❤️anyway guys go watch this masterpiece!!
Fax
Gosh! I totally agree! Diamond no Ace is one of my most favorite anime aside from Haikyuu. It's so good I can't get enough of it. I watched it so many times ❤️❤️
thanks
Yeah, Ace of Diamond is also no.1 for me.Waiting for season 4.
Hmm I've been scrolling a lot, and it does seem underrated, a lot of ppl talk about kuroko and haikyuu, but I've seen diamond no ace a lot too, since so many ppl liked it, Im kinda planning to watch it, may I ask if it's comedy?
Edit: I really like comedy and sports combined in anime
My top 5 :
- Haikyuu ( inspired me so much that I started playing volley-ball )
- Run with the wind ( unfortunatly I don’t have the endurance to run 10km )
- Ballroom e youkoso (never expected to love it so much)
- Yuri on Ice (I tought it would be around top 10 in the vid, really good sport anime)
- Ao ashi (being the only sport anime airing right now I’m hyped)

Another recommendation: Re-main a sports anime about Minato Kiyoumizu and the journey of him and his team in water polo
YES
Yes its pretty good and underrated
Ao aashi will be on the list now ❤️
Kuroko no Basket is Always #1 for me. I don't think that any Sports anime can make a match more epic and interesting with insanely overwhealming techniques. And that's all that matters for me.
Kuroko is too fake for me
YES! THIS EXACTLY
Ever heard about haikyu

I cried when I saw Run with the wind on the list 😭 It's heavily under-mentioned
DIAMOND NO ACE ❤️❤️ the best anime sport in whole world literally and so REALISTIC
I'm so happy you added Ballroom e Youkoso!! Also I recommend Stars Align if you liked Hanebado and Run with the Wind. They focus on the personal lives of the members as well n it's quite realistic
Nice
Ballroom was bad.. just came here after watching it
I used to hate volleyball.. until I watched Haikyuu. Not only is it an incredible anime, compelling and amazingly done, but it also had me grow an interest in this sport. That's how good it is.
Me too
I'm not surprised no one talks about Chihayafuru, while imo it's definitely the best in terms of story and characters, the animation is just lacking
I am surprised tho, that Ballroom went so much under the radar, it's definitely a nice watch
Haiykuu and koruko die hard fan waving here
yay
Haikyuu is a masterpiece ❤️🔥it lacks nothing , i have watched it many times n still it has no competition 🔥🔥
Me too. More than I want to admit, LOL
Hajime no ippo is the most realistic and near perfect anime with great fights with actual logic, comedy, romance, emotions. It's got everything
Facts. I just started watching it a few weeks ago. I'm on episode 75. That fight between Ippo and Sendo was insane. What I about Hajime No Ippo is that I can see te impact ofevery punch compared to some of my favorite animes like DBZ or Naruto you can't tell how impactful the blows a person receives in those anime.
@@emekaamerican863 ippo vs sendo is one of the best fights of all time. I can watch the evolution of ippo in the first season forever!

Oh, that's sad. I was actually waiting for Slam Dunk to come out here.
That's right
Even the major anime didnt included its more amazing than diamond no ace
Recommed Blue lock, it got a good animation lol, even through there are only 3 episodes, its worth it watching it.
The only sports anime that I don't want to end, HAIKYUU!.
Ballroom e youkoso is amazing and underated!
I’ve never meet anyone who has seen it but I’m truly in love with the series and recommend everyone to see it
I enjoyed it. 24 episodes are not enough.
Still waiting for season 2
Indeed!
Yes 🤗
i have seen it and yeah u r right
good list, thank you! but where's free!, yuri on ice!!!, and sk8 the infinity?
Ace of diamond is the best sport anime and I would like to add Megalo box to the list
Diamond No Ace is number 1 for me. I would say it is exciting, funny and painful at the same time.
Maybe Hajime No Hippo deserves it too but it ‘s been a long time since I watched it so I can’t remember much of it now like Slam Dunk.
Kuroko No Basuke is the one that I always rewatched because it is enjoyable to watch. And until now whenever I miss it I watch clips or some episodes of it. It just doesn’t make me bored.
Free! is my love because my baby Haru is there and it is really a great anime too. There’s fun times and sad times too.
Prince of Tennis shouldn’t be neglected too as it is one of the best sports anime even though it is kind of old. I still remember most of it. I just can’t get enough of it. I hope they will continue it and end the story well. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Haikyuu is enjoyable and a lot of comedy sides and exciting times but for some reason I lost interest in it especially on season 3. But I will continue to watch it nonetheless.
I like Chihayafuru because it is quite different but I hate to know where the romance would lead to because it might disappoint me.
I like Prince of Stride too but it is too short.
There’s more but this are the ones I remembered the most. :D
Im so glad chihayafuru is on this list. The most people who take a look don't think its sport anime but is it, and the series is just amazing
Surprised eyeshield 21 didn’t make it to the list. That was a good anime in my opinion.
2 great animes not mentioned: Slamdunk and Eyeshield 21. Easily both in top 5 in my own list.
Yes, im watching Slam Dunk now, and its already better than Haikyu for me: 1. KNB, 2. Slam Dunk 3. Haikyu
@@streegoy-2624 wait wtf knb better than slam dunk? how???
@@inazumamania2898 ikr that's hilarious LOL
kids all over the globe, especially Japan, literally started learning basketball because of Slam Dunk. It was that influential.
Agree. Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21, and Prince of Tennis belongs in this list. These are classic masterpiece.
Haikyuu is phenomenal I have rewatched it several times and can’t wait for the new season. Run with the wind is a hidden gem, and I’ll have to check out ace of diamond after reading all these comments!!
U might wanna try "Major" and "Ao Ashi"
Kuroko no basket is for me the real place 1 😂🔝
@Vortex Extreme no its not, it's realistic and has better characters. The matches are also way better
People out here arguing because of an opinion.
@Vortex Extreme dude, you just said all you care about is hype. Haikyuu characters actually have development. The antagonists are also better written. Oikawa, Atsumu, Nekoma as a whole. Kuroko no basket has 7 good characters. The generation of miracles and Kagami. Haikyuu has Hinata, Noya, Tanaka,Kageyama, Tsukishima, Bokuto, Oikawa, Miya atsumu, Kuroo, Kenma, Wakatoshi, Asahi, Hoshiumi,Iwaizumi,Tendo, Yamaguchi.
@Vortex Extreme you said haikyuu had no hype which is untrue because its literally nicknamed hypekyuu.
All of yall arguing. Did yall miss the “for me” in the comment? Its an opinion. No need to fight.
Ashita no joe and ping pong are tops for me. Ace of diamond, Slam dunk, Major, One outs, and Chihayafuru next. Haikyuu is only 8th for me. its good but not nearly as good as many other ones imo
Hajime No Ippo is one of the best anime I have ever watched. It is awesome.
I need a season 5 of Haikyuu right now
My Top 3 Sports Anime (edited)
1. Major (baseball)
- Character development in this show is *chefs kiss*. 10/10. You deadass get to see his whole baseball life. Season 1 starts with the MC at a very young age, and it just progresses from there; little league, high school, minor league and so forth. I noticed that it focuses more on character development and training, which makes it sensational imo. I haven't watched the remaining episodes after minor league (season 5?) but I am confident to say that this is a great sports anime to watch.
2. Diamond no Ace (baseball)
- Honestly am a fan of this show. I need more friends to talk about this one. Besides the fact that it's incredibly slow, it's very enjoyable and fun to watch. I've seen people mention that it has a somewhat realistic portrayal of competitive sports, so that's that. Oh and let's not forget the characters. We have a big cast here but I honestly love them! Imo some(maybe most) are underdeveloped?? But disregarding that, it's a fun cast!
3. Kuroko no Basket
- this one is sooo good! It used to be my top 1 but i just found sports anime that surpassed it. i really recommend watching it! especially with the likable characters and good story.
Major and major 2nd is the best no cap
dafuck. your number 3 is so random considering your first and second.
Diamond no ace and Major are all about realistic coming of age sports animes with struggles, drama and humor. Then you have Kuroko no basket that is..super powers and other silliness that doesnt have much to do with sports. xD
@@andreaskarlsson5251 well considering the fact that i haven’t watched much sports anime is the reason why kuroko is part of my top 3. and like i mentioned it used to be my top 1 but i found other anime that surpassed it which is likely to happen again so it’s not random lmaoo. i get what ure saying and i agree with it but kuroko was really fun and entertaining to watch if u exclude the character development and all absjdkdjkdke
@@eatmybooty-ei9oe yeah I remember enjoying kuroko somewhat too. But I wouldnt call it a sports anime even if basket is involved. 😆 Feels more bsttle shonen to me.
Sports animes are shows like diamond no ace, haikyuu and all out. A real team, some drama, lots of practice, struggles while aiming for the top, and most importantly realistic. 😊
On another note, Iwa-Kakeru! Check out that anime. Its about a few girls getting into sports climbing. Its saddening short(released last year so hoping for s2 though). Its somewhere inbetween "my version" of sports animes and kuroko no basket. Think youll like it. 👍
P.s. its not the normal shit sports anime that tends to come with all female casts 😆
@@andreaskarlsson5251 trueeee! it is more like battle shonen than sports anime. But the super powers and unrealistic-ness makes it enjoyable to watch, like the emperor’s eye. really cool sht if u ask me.
currently watching haikyuu and it is really good! now i understand why the fandom is huge (disregarding the trend watchers), its really worth watching. One Outs is in my watch list so I’ll see what it’s about.
Ohhhhh okay! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep that in mind. I’ve been finding a sports anime like diamond no ace and major so ig i’ll check it out!
"Kuroko no Basket" will always be No.1 for me 💙🏀
I have watched many sports anime even "Haikyuu" but no one can beat Kuroko in my opinion. It is just perfect
YES! FINALLY SOMEONE WITH THE SAME OPINION. From the moment I started watching it I fell in love 💙
Watch hajime no Ippo and you will change your mind
kise is the best player
@@jessweyman5189 Aomine better
@@Ahnafinho_ kise can copy all of them including aomine thoo aomine is cool
Haikyuu will always be my favorite sports Anime.
It has a good Fandom (besides the shipping), good storyline, good character and a good ending. (Manga)
Still waiting for that season 5 tho.
(Also don't even try saying that its trash, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad)
did you just say haikyuu has a good fandom? eyy drink some water man
@@randomplayer2387 I was about to say the same thing, lol😂
Good Storyline? They literally has Plot Armour in some of the seasons at least Kuroko and Kagami actually did some training
@@tomspeed6026 lol sour losers
Hajime no Ippo is my most favourite anime of all time. It has everything. But almost the same I could say about Haikyuu, Yowamushi pedal. I am kinda disappointed to not seeing there some great old aniame like Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21 at least or famous and great Captain Tsubasa. Prince of Tennis. But never mind. Every one of us likes different things. I saw almost every anime u mentioned and Ahiru no Sora is way better than Kuroko no Basuke in my opinion. Ok, Kuroko has great action. But what I love about Ahiru no Sora is that how realistic it is. Taking their time to introduce every main character of the team. I just loved it! Sumo is pretty cool too, it's just short. Same goes for backflip or Prince of Stride. But good recomendations. At least I loved seeing HnI and Haikyuu at top 2, cuz this shit is real xD
Hajime no ippo is so underrated 😔
Its the best sport anime and so underrated
I really want to recommend major. I’ve watch many sports anime such as haikyuu, diamond no ace, kuroko and many more, it has many episodes but it really touch me and for now it is my best anime
Samee here i watch almost all of the best anime. but major is the best for me. its really underrated
Finally!! found someone talking about major… Im really surprised its only you out here in the comments. Best baseball anime for sure.
Major is my fav sport anime too!
hajime no ippo is the grease sports anime. it really inspires you like no other
Diamond no ace is one of the best. it is impossible not to empathize with the players. Every frustration that remains after certain chapters is an incredible thing and shows that it is an anime that aims at the realism of sport
Major is definitely better
Haikyuu and Ace are the best two hands down.
@@Chaser3d18 give major a try, diamond no ace's author himself said that he was inspired from major.. and major not only takes the lives of the characters seriously but their whole life journey and its one of the best shows ive ever watched in my lifetime.. its baseball btw
I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation!@@squishy2677
Where's Slam Dunk?!
Where's Eyeshield21?!
My two favorites!!😢😢
Even an honorable mention would have been good..😭😭
Eyeshield is honestly pretty bad, but in the best way possible. I adore it but it doesn't belong a best list
Fck yeah! Even me its my fav too 😔
@@omnipresentsnowflake4698 Ya ha miss Himura 👹
@@omnipresentsnowflake4698 Eyeshield21 anime is really bad. manga version is 2000% better.
My top 3 is haikyuu, Kuroko basket, Free! ... best sport anime ever I hope I can find more like these I’m seriously open for recommendations thank you!!
Ace of diamond watch and read all the latest chapters then tell me
@@username-lz3ht u got it
Tenisu no ôjisama, Slam Dunk, Major, One Outs, Eyeshield 21- more worthy of being in the top 20 than some of the list
Anime sports makes me want to play sports, so I’ve done many sports clubs because of it 😂but mostly I play volleyball to me it’s the best
I entered ZONE yesterday caus kuroko's no basket
@@bestjohnny6296 No, if you want to play B-ball don’t try to imitate that stuff, next thing you know somebody bout to play hard defense on you and you get clamped up
@@oof3479 like what stuff? There's plenty of good bball in Kurokos
@@oof3479 obviously not the near impossible stuff, but for the most part, KnB has legit basketball.
Haikyuu is the best! I really love the story I never get tired watching it.
best? woah there buddy.
@@orgazed1859 people have their opinions:)
Slam dunk.. hello!! m surprised that no one is talking about it, its gotta be at least top 5
So everyone gonna pretend like inazuma eleven doesn't exist
Bro inazuma eleven and beyblade are my fav animes from childhood
@@dinoxd69 same but you rarely see them on the internet
Also, I’d like to recommend Big Windup! It’s simple, main hero is overly timid, but still I watched with joy. Nice to relax.Not to everyone’s taste probably.
I came here after watching AOSHI 🥰 I'm so delighted by that anime... Just watch it y'all
I'm Waiting for 19th episode, it does have same vibes with haikyuu
