ANIME TALK 005: I Love Sports Anime, So Let Me Share A List of The Sports Anime I've Watched... :)

What's up guys? ^^
Harumiです～


When it comes to anime, I am quite open to the genre. I watch almost any kinds for as long as the story is interesting, otherwise, I'd drop the anime and move on to the next one.

Despite this, I am actually a sucker for sports anime. I have watched numerous sports anime and even learned more about the sports because of the anime and not in my PE class. Anyway, I'll be listing some of the sports anime that I have finished watching. I have some bookmarked ones to watch and some that I'm currently watching, but the list I'm showing are the ones I have already watched. So yeah, let's start! (^_^)

YES, I have watched each and every anime listed above. Let's just say, sports anime are so interesting be it the realistic type or the not-so-realistic ones. Among those that I've watched, the most anime belongs to BASEBALL CATEGORY. To be honest, baseball is not popular in my country. I have never played nor watched it live, but because of baseball anime, I am very interested in watching MLB. I sometimes watch MLB videos on YouTube. Someday, I'd love to watch it live!

It's difficult to choose a favorite, but if I am to say the anime series that I have watched the most, it'd be the volleyball anime HAIKYUU!! I have watched all three seasons around 3-4 times already, and I'm planning to watch everything again before the 4th season starts.

At the moment, I am watching 3 various sports anime which are MIX: Meisei Story (baseball), Diamond no Ace Act II (baseball) and Captain Tsubasa 2018 (soccer).

Do you have any sports anime that you like? What are these? If you want to add something on my list or you want to recommend me some sports anime, please do leave a comment. I'm looking forward to them. I'll talk more about anime in my future posts, so please look forward to reading them.
