I've been branching out of my typical anime realm (fantasy and scifi) and trying out some sports related animes. I don't really like watching "real" sports all that much. There's no story and it's for the most part a bit yawn inducing. I absolutely love to play them (especially basketball and baseball), so I figured I'd try watching something related to the sports I enjoy that also included a rather decent story line.
I used to play Basketball in highschool. And both me and my wife used to be on our respective schools volleyball and swim teams back in the day, so we figured we'd watch animes revolving around those sports. Fortunately we found some pretty good ones. As of now I've watched Kurokos BasketBall, Haikyuu and Free! Kurokos is my favorite. The characters are all massively interesting and great to watch and it's all crazy to think that the usual anime intensity is being attributed to something as low stakes as a basketball game...but somehow it works . The same could be said for Haikyuu. Haikyuu was good too. A legitimately funny anime with endearing characters. Free! Was ok. It got a little too sappy at times but in had genuine heart to the story archs.
I think I'll try Ace of diamond next (which is baseball oriented) or Yowimusha pedal (which is bicycling). So how about it, does anyone here watch these anime or something like it? Are there any awesome sports animes i should check out?
Kurokos Basketball
Haikyuu
Free!
Yowimusha pedal
As for collectibles. Kuroko has some pretty nice scaled figures. I'll most likely be picking up the title character Kuroko soon.
I know figma has a few figures from Free! And Yowimusha pedal. And a few Nendoroids from Haikyuu. I have the one figma from Free! (Which I'll probably leave at that. I can't have too many shirtless dude toys or else my wife might start asking questions ) And I might grab the yowimusha one of i dig the anime enough.
Any one here collect figures from these animes?
