The only sports anime I've ever really watched to completion are Ippo and Capeta, both are pretty ace, although the former is better.

Looking over my list, I have not seen any "real" sports anime. Huh. Given that my choices are Ro-Kyu-Bu, Teekyu, and Detective Conan Movie 16: The Eleventh Striker, I'd rather not pick a favourite at all!

bad gameplay lol
Man...I really need to try to find something to watch that I feel motivated to get through. Like, I'm enjoying iDOLM@STER well enough, but I don't feel motivated to watch more than one episode a day. I absolutely blew through stuff like Toradora, Jinrui, and Azumanga Daioh. I need to find something like those again. =/
(In fact, I haven't felt motivated to watch anime since finishing Toradora...oh god I hope it didn't ACTUALLY break me. ;_

I truly never know what you're going to post next.
Record of Lodoss War 1
This is one of my favorite Fantasy anime (my favorite being, of course, Slayers), because it's just a good fantasy romp. We meet the party early on in the episode, and they consist of Parn, the human knight, Woodchuck, who is probably a thief, Slain the wizard and a priest, Gim the dwarf and Deedlit, the Elf . . . babe? I dunno, Deed doesn't have a job class. She's just there to fall in love with Parn and have Elf vs Dwarf moments with Gim.
But they fight monsters and stuff, and it's fun. "Quick Deed, what's it's weak spot?" "I'm not a dragon expert, Parn, how should I know?"

Chihayafuru if that counts, Giant Killing otherwise.
Still want to get my hands on this series.
Im afraid that when I suddenly decide to buy it some company is going to randomly pick it up out of the blue and rerelease it with great packaging or something. same with Arjuna.
Base D&D allowed for demihuman class specifications iirc! I need to go through this again so I can knock out Crystania and the TV series.

There's so many, but Ookiku Furikabutte is probably my absolute favorite.
Honorable mentions to Chihayafuru, Hajime no Ippo, pretty much any Adachi series, and more. I'm a pretty big fan of sports manga and anime, so narrowing it down is always tough for me.
Woolf is the only actually good character in the show.
And if you think Flit is a psycho, you're completely right! Ahaha, he feels no remorse and never is punished for the copious amounts of blood he spills!
Thinking about Flit last night, after I'd finished the show, it pisses me off more than anything that LAST EPISODE SPOILERS
Yurin is the one who stops him from firing a nuke into the Vagan homeland. Not his family, not his GRANDSON WHO IS STANDING THERE, not anyone who came from the loins of Not-Frau-Bow who it is apparent existed only so Flit could have kids and he never loved her at all, but YURIN.
This show ends in such an awful way.
Looks like a lot of bad perspective in the background.
The first season of Kaleido Star. It fulfils most of the sports anime cliches while actually being about performance, which is as close to sports as I'm likely to get.
Although I am slowly coming around to the goodness of Chihayafuru, so who knows where I'll stand on that in due course.
Thats another really good show.
I really liked it as a kid. I hope it holds up now. It's a good classic fantasy story.
Ookiku Furikabutte or Kenkou Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho.
Though IGPX was pretty awesome too. Did anyone else watch that?
Saki if it counts, if it doesn't then Bamboo Blade. I haven't actually seen many sports anime though, they don't interest me much.

First season of Kaleido Star was genuinely good. Good SatoJun. <3

Speaking of sports anime, another one I really enjoyed was Giant Killing.

The only football game I've ever liked was Sega Soccer Slam on the Game Cube, and that doesn't even have the word "football" on the title!
....
as much as I loved that game (yeah it was amazing and the game that FIFA Street should have been in the first place) I have to say to you you are missing out the best football game ever:

I played International Super Star Soccer in the SNES. Does that count?
Oh and I guess I did play the shit out FIFA Road to World Cup '98. Y'know, the one with that Blur song (so badarse).
You're gonna enjoy it. Looking forward to your impressions.
OK, you are officially awesome.
Yeah, I have played the shit out of those two. I remember that I never owned the saving cartridge for N64 so me and my brother would marathon ISS for hours to beat the road to WC mode. Great times. and that FIFA game saved me from going bonkers as I was hospitilised for more than a year and it was the only Footy game I played along with MGS2.
Great times!

Yeah but BAGPIPES.
I still have to get around to watching more of Ginga someday but I really enjoyed Giant Killing. Much better show, the characters were actually pretty interesting and I can't really say the same from the bits of Ginga I watched.
Best sports anime though is Touch. Hands down, Cross Game is great too but Touch is the best of the best. Best sports anime, best 80s anime, best everything.

Futari Wa Precure 21
This show is really rather excellent.
Anyone interested in watching Precure should really start here.
This outcome was kind of inevitable.
Naturally Cure Black and Cure White are pretty distraught over this. Where does it go from here?
Oh by the way, I bought some of these candies and they are amazing.

Kiriya may have been going to school with Nagisa and Honoka and made friends with them, but he is still one of the evil minions. Ultimately his desire to fight against his fate leads him to make a huge sacrifice, turning his prism stone over to the Precure and ensuring his destruction. A shame really. He was a good character.

Cross Game
Slam Dunk
Have you read Mix? Its my new favorite Adachi thing. Too bad it takes foooooooreeeeeeever to come out.

Slam Dunk would be a lot more tolerable if Hanamichi's dumb jealousy attacks didn't interrupt the flow of the game after every fucking play.
Any Winning Eleven for PS2 > The Best Winning Eleven for the PS1
Its always played off as a joke though.
I watched Slam Dunk errmmm more than 10 years ago so I must admit nostalgia could be clouding my judgment.
You mustn't fight the nostalgia goggles, they make everything old better.
This is one of the area's I'm weak on, a big portion of sports anime I've watched stopped being sports anime at some point.
Bamboo Blade, Ginga e Kickoff and I'm really stretching it with Kuroko's Basketball are the most grounded I've watched. and enjoyed.
Ah Pro Evo 4 the upper echelon of football games, I played that so much for a whole year straight that the game case wore out!
I also thin FF7 is shit. Nostalgia can die in fire.
At least you can see the players in PS2 era.
