You LITERALLY can't name a better sports anime.
you got any more of that jpeg?
Slam Dunk
Ooofuri.
Love Live.
>>154645342
I kinda liked Eyeshield 21's manga more than I like Haikyuu's anime. But ES21's anime was kinda shit, so maybe it doesn't count.
Nice rec thread faggot.

>>154645342
Is the manga or anime better?
>>154646474
The anime is actually better this time since it follows the manga faithfully, has good animation, and voice acting. There's no reason not to watch the anime if you're new to the series.
>>154645342
Slam Dunk.
Honestly, I don't see what the hype is all about with Haikyuu. I watched the first 10 episodes and it was incredibly boring and average.
>>154646494
Adderall run out?
>>154646493
Cool, thanks bud
>>154646494
You only watched 10 episodes out of 60. Come back when you've watched at least half of it.
>>154645342
>>154646494
>incredibly boring and average.

It's famous only because It came first
>>154646524
>watching Slam Dunk

Be less retarded next time
>>154645342
Are you serious?
That show was fucking shit, I had speed it up x2 to be able to finish the last couple of episodes.
The squeaky voices at least made it funny.
>>154646655
>admitting Slam Dunk's anime is inferior to its manga
Haikyuu has a great manga and a great anime. Haikyuu > Slam Dunk objectively.
>>154646494
It's in WSJ, which means that roughly half the people watching/reading it have other WSJ series as just about their only points of comparison. These are the same people who jack off OP and BnHA as the top tier of ongoing manga, keep in mind.
>>154646738
>OP ask
>le
So you're both a crossboarder and an ESL. Just great. Fuck off.
>>154646494
I watched all three seasons and I'm up to date with the manga. Haikyuufags who scream "Hypekyuu" should just kill themselves. It's cliche shonenshit., nothing more. They literally cannot name a single thing it has that other sports anime don't do better.
>>154646824
Be realistic. Take your shitty DBZ mentality the fuck out of my sports anime.
>>154646505
Oh haikyuu and it's lizard faces. Someone please teach Furudate how to draw human characters.
>>154646864
>I don't understand minor anthropomorphism as an artistic tool

That must be why it's like watching paint dry. Volleyball a shit.

Do you assume everyone who replies to you is the same person, or what? I have no argument because I'm not and was never arguing with you. I didn't "side step," I stepped in specifically to tell you to stop being a cancerous faggot.

>>154646909
>anthropomorphism
Either you're making a joke I don't get, or you don't know what that word means.
>>154646909
They aren't supposed to be antromorphs. All animals reference are purely symbolic, as we see hundreds of times with the fucking crows squawking every time Karasuno scores a point.
Furudate is just a shitty artist who is still butthurt about his failed horror manga so makes all his characters look like creepy gremlins to cope with it.
>>154646951
>You're still doing it.
I don't see the problem here.
and now you're side stepping even further
>>154647017

Lurk more.
>and now you're side stepping even further
Side stepping what? I have no argument with you except the one that says you're posting like a faggot and need to stop, and I'm sure not sidestepping that one.
>>154646952
I'd watch anything as long as it had interesting characters. Too bad haikyuu is filled with worst boys.
>>154647008
>Karasuno look like birds
>Fukurodani look like owls
>Nohebi look like snakes
>Nekoma look like cats
>Seijou look like plants
That shit is deliberate.
>>154646909
>minor anthropomorphism
oh shit, nigger
I know what you mean, but "anthropomorphism" refers to the addition of humanness in animals; this is the exact opposite of what you meant.
>>154647036
Sounds like a taste problem as well as poor attention span.
>>154647062
Only Kenma and Bokuto's eyes, Nohebi's captains face, and Hoshiumi's seagull hair are somewhat animal features. How does anyone on Karasuno have crow features?
>>154647081
I've already seen anime and was not impressed. You must be that same fag that always post webm's whenever people shit on haikyuu as if it will ever convinced anybody.
>>154646772

>>154647288
literally every character except the Mad Dog is super likeable.
I like all the enemies team characters too
>>154645342
Is this one of those almost gay sports anime?
Also one outs and that one baseball anime with a megamilk cake and fag shy MC
>>154647448
But that baseball anime with the megamilk cake and fag shy MC is the one that's almost gay. The guys in Haikyuu don't have that kind of relationship at all.
>>154647371
Official list of worst boys in no particular order:
>Kageyama
>Tsukishima
>Oikawa
>Bokuto for being an arrogant attention whore and acting like a fussy baby
>Kindaichi (aka oversensitive faggot)
>Ushijima
>Shirabu
>all of Shiratorizawa except Tendou and Goshiki
>Daishou
>actually all of Nohebi who gives a fuck about them
>Hoshiumi for being a hypocrite and a gremlin
>Miya (aka cheap Oikawa knockoff)
>Kiryuu for being uglier than sin
The list just keeps growing.

>>154647478
>knowing the names of characters from some shitty manga
wew laddy,.
>>154647513
Probably the worst of them all. It's truly a crime that nobody punched his smug face yet. I might pick the manga back up if that ever happened.
>>154647574
Are you confused that someone is able to shit on something they actually read?
>>154647288
Hell no.
S-shut up. It's totally a sport.
>>154646697
Slam Dunk manga >>>>>>>> Haikyuu anime and manga > Slam Dunk anime
The SD manga is so much better than Haikyuu in any form that it easily trumps both combined. Again, be less retarded before you try to post your objectively wrong opinions.

Something about the characters and the ways they interact makes it seem like it was written by someone who is mentally retarded and doesn't understand teamwork or basic human relations.

>>154647972
> ping-pong
Yes I can
>>154648124
Let's just say it's obvious why he tried to write horror before this. Team centric stuff with people having to interact normally is not his strong suit. Him as an author just gives the sense of a 7 year old playing with action figures.
>>154647584
boy naruto really let himself go
>>154645342
Touch.
Anything from Adachi?
>>154647036
Are you fucking serious? The reason why I like haikyuu isn't even because of the sport, but because the side cast is just as entertaining and important as the main cast. I can't name a single character that I actually dislike, even the faggots are kinda cool
Hashita no joe.
Captain tsubasa.
Oh right, you are all 15 years old so dontknow what those are
>>154648285
Is tsubasa actually good? I thought it was just a children's sport series with QUALITY.
>>154648227
That is probably the worst part about haikyuu because Furudate tries to give every irrelevant team a sob story. Then it's retarded fanbase latches onto side characters and gets butthurt when they lose or aren't in the spotlight anymore.
>>154648098
It's really not that hard. Then again I don't get triggered by everything like a little bitch.
Since I read the manga I know more about it than the average 'hypekyuu' animeonlyfags around here.
>>154648360
If I bothered with retarded fanbase I wouldn't be watching animu at all
>>154645342

We all agree that Yamaguchi is best boy, right?
Despite the constant efforts to hide him in the shadows.
In the anime realm there isn't much that can compete with Haikyuu. Ippo Season 1 I guess.
I might consider Slam Dunk and Eyeshield 21 manga better than Haikyuu. It's disgusting how many people have only seen their shitty anime adaptations yet walk around calling it GOAT.
>>154649095
>>154647288
Don't listen to these ADHD fags here trying to paint it as "generic" when they themselves aren't even up to date with it. I've seen most of the latest sports series ant Haikyuu has the best animation, best characters and best matches.
>>154645342
>haikyuu fans
>>154649031
It gives me endless joy that Bokuto made it to Nationals and Oikawa and Ushijima did not.

>>154649191
>samefagging yourself to hide your fuck-up
>>154645342
Still haven't watched a better sports anime than Bamboo Blade. Haikyuu was just lots of boring characters + melodramatic bs + better animation than it deserved because fujobux paid for it all.

Ashita no Joe takes a dump on all other Sports anime.
>>154650065
If GuP and Keijo count, then sure.
I think court tennis,golf, and volleyball are probably the worst sports to make anime or manga for. they are incredibly boring in real life which is why they relie heavily on character and the author making them into sort of drama by making everyone likeable.
so either you get everyone likeable, make them all girls or all males
>>154651148
>women's "sports"
>likeable
>>154651220
mud wrestling is fun.
Haikyuu is fucking great. One of the best manga around currently, and just keeps getting better and more interesting. The anime is also top tier. That smooth as fuck animation mayne.
>>154651148
the hell you on about
>>154651334
the sports themselves are incredibly boring to watch as sports by themselves.
>>154651306
it's art is too shit and way too different from the anime
>>154651408
You're right that the anime is different from the manga, but the manga art is in no way shit. You may not like the style, but it is definitely not shit art.
>>154651306

>>154652305
>men's volleyball
>not fujoshit
>has that ONE girl in the entire show.
>>154652378
There are several, and the school has a girl volley team but they're side characters that keep losing
>>154652305
It's fujoshit because they all look so gay and volleyball is a gay sport.
>>154652420
>There are several,
are those several part of the story like the manager?
>and the school has a girl volley team but they're side characters that keep losing
that makes incredibly fujoshit since the author is intentionally keeping the attention away from the women's volleyball and makes them permanent losers.

If you replaced the male characters with ugly ones like in Ippo then most of the fanbase would vanish.
>>154645342
I like Diamond no Ace better personally.
Ping-pong
Slam Dunk is the one and only sports anime worth watching.
>>154653982
That's not true, Ping Pong is also worth a shot.
>>154645342
i still have a copy of TOUCH on laser disk in the attic at my mom's house, though I haven't owned a working laser disk player in almost 15 years. I'd put that or Ippo up against anything recent for sure. Beyond that, until Japan holds a state funeral for the death of one of your characters, you can't even claim to be Ashita no Joe tier.
>>154645342
What's with these bait threads? Even haikyuufags know that their show is pretty boring.
>>154645342
Any Adachi Mitsuru
Slam Dunk

Captain Tsubasa
Eyeshield 21
Hajime no Ippo
Ashita no Joe
Basically any other sports manga.
Haikyuu is only popular because it's fujoshit.
>>154651148
>tennis
>boring
huh?
>>154655602
did you just decide to not read the rest of it? or do you honestly believe the sports would fine on thier own without a whole lot of effects and character interactions?
>>154648566
It fucking is, though. They play the game tons, those scenes are some of the best in the show, and the characters and themes all revolve around the fact that they're playing it. This is even worse than the "NGE isn't mecha, it's just a show that happens to have robots, because it has characters and stuff!" retards.
>>154651148
>they are incredibly boring in real life
So are all sports.
> which is why they relie heavily on character
So does basically every good sports manga/anime of any kind.
>>154656375
>So are all sports.
so you've never actually watched or played a sport before. ok
>So does basically every good sports manga/anime of any kind.
they have it, but they don't rely on it. it just makes an awesome sport even better.
the rest just make a sport look good.
>>154645342
It's the only one I've watched and I will probably never watch one again. It got propped up as the Holy Grail of sports and it failed to hook me for the whole way despite good animation and two likable main characters. Could not for the life of me become interested in the games themselves.
>>154656992
>so you've never actually watched or played a sport before. ok
No, I just don't like them. There's a difference. You're on fucking /a/, you shouldn't be surprised that there are people who find actual sports boring.
>they have it, but they don't rely on it. it just makes an awesome sport even better.
No, the characters are generally what carry it. Take away the character drama from great series like Joe, Touch, Slam Dunk, Ping Pong, etc. and I probably wouldn't bother watching it. The only decent sports series I can think of where the characters aren't the make-or-break selling point is Giant Killing, and that still doesn't live up to the ones I just listed in my opinion.
>>154657047
Fuck off.
>>154657170
I don't know why it's fans try to hype it up so hard. It's got good animation but a pretty standard plot.
It seems like it's only popular because of the cute factor since almost all the characters are naive and silly.
>>154657212
>series I can think of where the characters aren't the make-or-break selling point is Giant Killing, and that still doesn't live up to the ones I just listed in my opinion.
you still proved my point. that good sport is made better with good characters and a boring sport is made only good/ok with the same characters.
>No, I just don't like them. There's a difference. You're on fucking /a/, you shouldn't be surprised that there are people who find actual sports boring.
well I am now. because this sounds stupid.
> Take away the character drama from great series like Joe, Touch, Slam Dunk
and guess what? joe was a character drama.
and if you took the character from slam dunk, you would still have a great sport.
>>154648352
I'm watching the original series now having never seen it as a child, and while I wouldn't say it's good, I enjoy it because I just find all the silly, drawn-out melodrama over primary school kids kicking a ball around pretty funny (at one stage a single 45-minute match lasts about 20 episodes). Also the fact that the creator doesn't really seem to have a great handle on the rules of football.
Hajime no ippo is pretty dope. Go go Demsely Roll ^-^ !!!
>>154657701
>you still proved my point. that good sport is made better with good characters and a boring sport is made only good/ok with the same characters.
It's got nothing to do with the sport and everything to do with the series itself. I have zero fucking interest in actual soccer.
>well I am now. because this sounds stupid.
You're seriously surprised by the existence of people who don't like sports? Have I stumbled into the frat house section of /a/, or what?
>and guess what? joe was a character drama.
Yes, that goes right along with what I'm saying.
>and if you took the character from slam dunk, you would still have a great sport.
I wouldn't watch it.
>>154645342
If you're looking for shounenshit slash fujofest, look no further than anything with a sports label in the 2010s and a predominant male cast. Honestly, this is not even me being spiteful, but the only difference is the sport, whether it's bikes, swimming or balls, the pattern for every newer sport anime is exactly the same shit. No wonder that faux sport anime like GuP appear to be refreshing, despite having borderline retarded premises.
>>154657853
>You're seriously surprised by the existence of people who don't like sports? Have I stumbled into the frat house section of /a/, or what?
no by someone who doesnt like sports, but reads a sports manga.
>It's got nothing to do with the sport and everything to do with the series itself.
a series about soccer.
> I have zero fucking interest in actual soccer.
what does have to do with me?
>Yes, that goes right along with what I'm saying.
no I mean it literally was a character drama, had less to do about the sport.
>I wouldn't watch it.
thats not the point.
im confused, you say all sports are boring but you're here.
>>154645342
So why is all the modern sports anime super gay homo shit. I know Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk have their fair share of fujo audience drawing gay porn, put they are the marginal. I bet my dick 80% of revenue for modern sports anime comes from filthy fujos.
>>154658250
>no by someone who doesnt like sports, but reads a sports manga.
>a series about soccer.
>im confused, you say all sports are boring but you're here.
I say sports in real life are boring. I don't understand how this is confusing - fiction =/= reality. The telling of a story - with narrative structure and themes and drama and stuff - makes it interesting even if the subject is dull in real life. This is such a basic concept, what's hard about it?
>>154645754
>>154647448
Based anons
>>154658348
You just answered your own question, it's because fujos spend the money. You don't like it, start showing it with your wallet.
I just did.
>>154658348
who cares, haikyu is perfectly enjoyable regardless of its target audience
fanbase-fags are fucking retarded
>>154658348
Girls like cute boys. Why is hard to understand?Sure the female characters are irrelevant but it doesn't have any fujo fanservice or bromance either. It's just a standard sports anime.
>>154658373

What do you guys think the Day 2 match-ups will be?
I'm betting it'll be Itachiyama vs Karasuno at least.

RIP Karasuno.
>>154659088
>Implying we're not going to see another Hinata power-up + Azumane pulling out some service aces
I don't think Karasuno will lose at nationals until they go up against Nekoma.
>>154659217
Why do you think Karasuno will lose their final actual battle with Nekoma? Sakusa and Komori are being hyped up as the best spiker and libero in the country and they are only 2nd years.
>>154659288
Battle of the Garbage Dump and the whole destined rivals thing, not to mention so much of Karasuno's growth as a team has come from losing to Nekoma in practices.
>no one mentions kenma
Why do you have such shit tastes
You Haikyuu fanboys really need your asses kicked.
>>154659358
Yeah, they've already done nothing but lose to Nekoma. With all these new characters I find it hard to believe Karasuno is not going to lose to any of the teams in pic related or even the new Small Giant.
Unless your saying Karasuno loses and then entire arc is seeing the powerhouses duke it out.
Haikyuu is boring and gay.
Ippo is for real men.
>>154659688
>>154659963
It's not a sport if there isn't a ball.
>>154661150
A sport is anything done for the sake of a challenge or competition
Which is why hunting for non-food purposes is called sport-hunting
>>154661150
In boxing, the ball is in the feet
>ctrl+f yuri

Hajime no ippo is by far better and im saying this being a fan of haikyu
>>154662321
If you had said Ashita no Joe I would have agreed with you and I'm saying this as a fan of Haikyuu
>>154645342
Eyeshield 21
>>154662372
Also Slam Dunk
>>154662244
Why would that shitshow ever be mentioned? The portrayal of the sport was awful and none but the main three characters ever got proper character development. Not to mention the QUALITY of it all.
>>154662372
Anime is meh. Manga is top tier though
>>154649142
>has the best animation
>154661295
>best characters
started reading it, black hair king of whatever is being an edgelord, MC is a nardo look-a-like (his name has hinata, even), edgelord and MC are trying to get into the team and have to stop fighting among themselves, to me this stinks of overly flawed characters that are overly flawed for the sake of forced "character development". The decision making so far hasn't been much better too.
>>154662657
I think that was what he was referring to
>>154662757
I hope you like the King thing, because it gets beaten to death over and over gain how awful it is but in the end they let him be the King and order everyone around again because they realized Kageyama is a huge a bitch and shouldn't try to change the way he is.
This is typical haikyuu character development. You cannot make this shit up.
>>154653647
Haikyuu would basically be like All Out then, aka only for a marginal group of fujos and actual sportsfags.

bruh even if they didnt show it, you know they did. I mean childhood friend rarely wins and mom was the chilhood friend. but im glad she became a cheerleader and not just a love interest waiting on the sidelines.

As fujo I wasn't expecting to like this, but holy shit my heart went doki doki along with those girls.
Sense of rivalry and matches' outcomes are shown brilliantly too.Ace is the best.

Better manga but not a better anime in my opinion. The anime has got some of the worst pacing in history and the animation is nothing to write home about while Haikyuu seems to have some ridiculously high budget and superb animation.
I want to pat Hinata on the head!

sports anime should all have super powers
whats the point of animating something if it's going to be realistic?

Anon, stop. No matter how good the manga was, we all know the anime was just plain bad.

Unfortunately Kageyama made Sugawara redundant. Tanaka is already more of an ace than Asahi. Hinata is finally learning to receive and likely will be moved to wing spiker in the future. Also they still have Noya and Tsukki is pretty effective as long as he actually gives a shit.
Karasuno is probably the only team that doesn't lose much when their 3rd years graduate. Though if the manga does intend to continue then they'll definitely struggle especially considering all the new rivals are OP.
