Do you want them to lose the rematch too?

Do you just want to watch everything burn?

Chihayafuru has the opposite. They win the local highschool league the first time but got second the next time.

They still managed to win nationals after getting their shit together.

Maruo will never win a tournament even if his life depended on it.

>>137481370

I think the romance and sexual tension adds a lot, you have a normalfag like Taichi getting good a obscure cardgame just to get his waifu to notice him.

I don't think it would have been as enjoyable without it.

Idea for sports anime:
Team loses.
Team loses again.
Some friends become enemies.
Some enemies become friends.
People quit the team.
Aces join the team.
The final re-match is set up.
Team loses again.
An old sage trains the team.
The final final re-match is set up.
Team gets completely crushed, but its animated all dramatic to make you believe they will win.
Roll credits.

>>137481609
That just warrants a lynching from your audience.

>>137481645

the fuck

why do you think tabloids exist?

>>137482246
For women who vaguely follow sports

>>137482183
Showing their personal life is what actually makes you give a shit about the characters. Who wants to watch something you don't have any emotional connection to?

Though I agree that homoshit has ruined too many sports anime.

>>137482183

And there's hardly any focus on it in Chihayafuru, but believe it or not, wanting love/romance is a pretty natural thing, and as shown in Chihayafuru, it's a factor that influences motivation and behaviors.

No need to project your asexual herbivore lifestyle on everything else.

>>137482246

>Actually giving a fuck about tabloids

Those fucks just use it to make money but fans themselves don't really give a fuck as long as the players performance doesn't take a nosedive.

That football anime where MC's team lost around 3 times before even reaching the nationals. Forgot the anime. The MC has spiky orange hair.

>>137481295
In the manga Swan the MC loses to a Russian ballet prodigy, the finale of the series is their rematch and she still loses. A lot of the series focuses on the faults the MC has from being trained poorly; although she's experienced in dance her lack of proper technique is her handicap.

Nah if i like a specific characters play style and how he peforms in matches I'll give a shit about him.

I'm sick of cringe worthy shit like
>MC is down and his team is losing
>Sees his lover in the crowd cheering for him
>Immediately starts playing better than he's capable of
>Wins said match

Characters need things like love and emo backstories in order for them to be motivated to win.

Good Motivation:

"My dad was in the national baseball team and lost the game because mom left him."

"My child hood friend and I made a promise that we would get married after I won the championship."

Shit Motivation:

"I just want to win for the team."

No fucking shit. We all want to win. But, what drives us to really win.

>>137482603

>>137482529
>Shit Motivation:

Real motivation is "I just want to win for myself because losing feels terrible"

>>137482503
when has that ever happened?

>>137482603
yes, way better than shit like haikyuu

People saying they need a love interest to motivate themselves to win have never played sports at a higher level than gym class. Winning is the best feeling and doing it to better yourself or for your team is the best motivation. How does it feel to never have a team of Bros that you can celebrate with after winning a tough fought game.

Ballroom.
Technically not a rematch yet, but MC loses his first match badly.
It was obvious as fuck he would, way in over his head. It's always a trigger for character growth.
Then regresses and gets worse, to the point of having to start over from the beginning.
The rival he lost to got much better in that time, causing a bigger gap in skill.
Though he probably will win eventually (probably not the first rematch), the fact he didn't get better and was made out to be a failure, generally goes against the cliche you're describing.

Would it be better as a generic sport that has other manga about it like: soccer, baseball, tennis, volleyball, hockey, ect.

Hockey anime when?

It's the GOAT sport.

>>137483450
We could do something outlandish. It would make for better plot if it was a sport that could be played co-ed. But we can make up a never never land world like the nips do where that's a thing regardless of sport.

>>137484071

The only thing I dislike about sports anime is that the MC's team never loses more than one or two on the bounce, It's a shame because you can learn a lot from getting destroyed but they just do as OP said.

this. you don't need any elaborate reason for wanting to win.
it's actually more relatable (and realistic) if the MC just wants to win because he wants to get better, stronger, faster etc.
