side character girls are best

They have weirdly good animation a lot of the time.

Homo ships, at least that's what fujos who watch it only seem to care about.

Yachi is one of the cancer of Haikyuu.

Good thing she has no screentime next season.

as an avid sport watcher and /sp/artan, I can fulfill my enjoyment pretending I won matches because I'm too unathletic to actually go play.

To make otaku nerds care about sports.

Slam Dunk was notable for getting kids into Basketball.

A nice escape from generic slice of life about nothing much anime. Sport shows have a theme. They're "about something", and it's not some magic fantasy bullshit. And also >>144354937

I've only watched Cross Game and Baby Steps but it was fun watching them get better over time.

Reliving the glory days.

They always make you cry when they're about to win and the opening starts playing.

>>144354937
They are so good girls but there is never enough screentime

Thank good.

Why would anyone want girls when you got Hinata, Kenma and Noya?

At the most basic, it just follows the shonen trope of New enemy->train->fight->repeat. It's just a different setting than fighting aliens or some such.

Cute boys, cute boys bonding, and the sports part can get me pumped. Even if it's not much substance, it's good enough eyecandy. On that note, can't wait for the next season of Haikyuu and Yowapeda.

Sweaty boys playing together.

It's more grounded, even though the shit they do would be impossible for any player, it's more a style of anime than the actual thing happening. Because it's more grounded you can relate more so it becomes exciting
