Sports anime I've seen: Chihayafuru (amazing characters and Karuta is a really interesting sport), Ping Pong (amazing direction) and One Outs (interesting battle of wits)....and maybe No Game No Life, but I'm not sure if I can call that a sports anime. |
Chihayafuru is probably the best Club anime I've ever seen. Off topic, the latest issue of the manga just came out (got fan-translated) and I'm too scared to read it. Damn it, Taichi ...
Anyway, another of my favorite Club anime is Taisho Baseball Girls. It's a real shame that so few people have seen it. It's about a small group of girls who want to play baseball during Japan's Taisho era, when such an activity by females was highly frowned upon. There are no other girl's teams, which means they have to play boys and get absolutely stomped while they're learning, not to mention dealing with the disapproval of society in general. This isn't a "power up" anime in the slightest, as the real struggle is just getting on the field in the first place. It's also quite funny.

I'm also a fan of Saki. Yes, I once made fun of it because of those tiny, tiny skirts, but once the mahjong tournaments start, it transforms into another animal completely. You really don't know who is going to win and, perhaps worse, the characters from other schools are often so good that you don't even know who you WANT to win a match. Personally, I want more Stealth Momo.
Edit: What the hell is up with this place? Why can I no longer post videos? This is really, really stupid.
