You know damn well his OXYGEN will fix it. Dammit I hope he actually has an affliction like Punch Drunk. Would be the most interesting thing to happen to that manga. But I'm sure it's going to get OXYGEN bullshit and get GUTS away.

Maybe it's just because I'm American, but I have not read a sports manga I enjoyed as much as Eyeshield 21

This. Holy shit it's so good. Sadly the anime drags out some games much longer than they need to be and they didn't include the best game of them all against Sannoh. But it's still damn good.

Stopped reading Ippo around 800 to 900ish chapter, because literally every one of his fights followed the same pattern and it was always "Wew, that was a strong guy, TSUYOY DESU, better watch out next time" sort of naive way of thinking. I kind of liked the part where he was told that almost everyone he beaten to a pulp in show of RESPECT AND FRIENDSHIP has retired. I dont even know how would I make a fight fresh or different, but still. It was a damn good sports manga though, should I get back to reading?

absolutely. I guess the only flaw is the last part was a bit rushed.

>>147914412
Yes. Pure adrenaline-pumping basketball action, great characters, and fantastic art.
Only drawback is the weak ending.

Ippo's in the process of fixing that right now, he's either extrmely fatigued or punch drunk, but if he can fix it he's going to get into the ring with a new goal.

Usually he fights to "GANBARE" and see how far he can go, but now he just wants to win no matter what and keep boxing. it's likely he'll come back for his final fight with an emphasis on defense.

I generally don't enjoy sports manga/anime - unless it's my sport.

Anyone else here looking forward to watching Longriders in a little over a week from now?

>>147913477
I finished reading it a few weeks ago and while the last two arcs were kinda shitty, I still miss it. It's been a while since a manga left me wanting more.

>>147914420
The final match was meh, but the Christmas Tournament was GOAT. The ending definitely left a good taste in my mouth

>>147914802
The very, very last part of the manga is rushed. It's a pretty poor conclusion, but the final game is one of the best in the series.
The final arc in the anime (last 15 or so episodes) are like filler. They lead up to the nationals in the manga, but the anime ends right before they go there.

wasn't there a manga about soccer girls doing cute things?

I'm not ashamed to say I liked this anime that was clearly for children.

>>147913627
I've been wondering that myself recently, specifically why it's so much better than other sports series with a similar format. I'd have to pin it down to
>great humour
>charismatic, likable characters
>god tier art
>well paced, the games don't overstay their welcome

AnJ is the GOAT sports manga but it's more of a mix of genres, SD easily tops the list for pure sports.

idk for awhile the manga tries to make a new side character who's a genius but ignores him later thankfully.
right now ippo is in the "if i lose then i'll quit" mentality and might have brain damage, but its clearly not going to end anytime soon.

also sadly the fight with miyata is still being teased years later, so i hope you stopped looking forward to it.
takamura gets some development now and then but its not enough.
the manga is still good though.

I can't believe people have the gall to complain about fujoshit sports shows when this is the sort of garbage a male audience wants to see.

>>147916979
It's very good, though more romance than baseball. I'd recommend the manga, Adachi is pretty god tier at setting a scene.

Baseball is completely secondary to the SoL/characters. I love it but don't expect high suspense.

Currently watching it right now, up to episode 31. If you're watching it for baseball focus then you'll be disappointed. There's barely any monologue and the tactics aren't really walked through especially if you compare it to a series like Dia no Ace.

You already have that type of character in Takamura, why would you need/want another?

>>147918347
The Diet is the name of Japan's Congress, anon.

The japan/karate jerking off was off-putting at the beginning, but now that it's a love-letter to prime K1 I love it. As a Muay Thai practitioner/fanboy it pleases me so much that a Nak Muay is the final boss.

Is baseball even fun? I like sports, but I've never played it, or even seen it played in real life, and it looks boring as heck.

>>147918661
Isn't it called something different in the manga? I don't remember Kyokushin ever named. I kinda skim over all the romanji though so I could have missed it.

>>147918852
Batting and pitching is fun. Fielding sucks.

>>147918852
Your mileage varies in terms of playing, I personally don't like it. It's a low tier watching sport for sure though. The atmosphere of a live game is fun for maybe 4-5 innings at most.

You both are weak fags that concentrate on the Yaoi Bait instead of plot or characters, that's why you both think like someone fucking care what you read. If people don't think about Lion King as Furry bait shit, because there probably shit tons of r34 and other furry shit than why the fuck should you care?

They're just pulling them back. It doesn't even look gay or fanservice-y in the screenshot.

I feel bad for people who are so insecure they can't handle such innocuous shit, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>147921510

no shit. i watched both seasons of haikyuu, enjoyed them immensely, picked up on ZERO gay undertones. the fact that faggots like >>147921458 look for any semblance of faggotry and get so upset by it is pretty telling.

There's a social stigma for a reason. The fandoms are fucking cancerous, and if you admit liking a yaoibait show then people think that you may be one of them. You're free to like what you like, just don't expect to be treated as anything else but a rabid fujo if you admit liking it.

Especially if you post fujoshit art like that, take that to /y/ or /cm/

How does it compare to other series? It's my understanding that it's more realistic and down to earth

No ending can be satisfying after this.

Your Nostalgia. There are plenty sports manga that are equal to Slam Dunk and some of them have much more developed characters

>>147926231

doubt. Slam Dunk doesnt have that much development, but it compensates with a great cast, and the fact is balanced. The MC isnt the savior of the team, let alone the best player. Also the art still stands out compared to other generic sports animes/mangas.
