Thread: Sports Anime

sounds like Sakuragi Hanamichi from Slam Dunk XD

He decides to join the baseball club to impress the cute female manager of the club, Torii Nagi, but despite his bragging, he's actually a complete beginner.

And oh, man, his bragging goes over the top (he even claims he could swing hard enough to hit the baseball over the school building like one of the legendary players from the school), but it's full of parody, too.

Hm.... Sounds interesting. ^.^ I might start it. Does it have bishounen? Lol. A fangirl must know these things.

I'm not too far into the manga yet and the two main characters aren't necessarily bishounen, but I think there are other characters who are, like a rival player who shows up during the baseball tryouts.

EDIT: Here we go. It's the official Japanese site on Jump's homepage, and even if you can't read Japanese it's got some of the main characters on there. I need to catch up since I haven't really read much of it lately (TT)

Eh... They're okay looking. Not very bishounen though..... I guess I'll put in after Bleach. Whistle! is good if anyone hasn't read it yet. ^.^

is the manga better than the anime for whistle?

Shoot! Is kinda good, though many people did not like how it ended (including myself). I dunno if there is a scanslation and I dunno if it's out in america.

Ahiru no Sora (basketball) very funny, not out in america, and I don't know if there are scans for this either.

I'm not sure. I haven't finished the manga. The anime was pretty good, though.

i think shoot is also good, but are you talking about the ending in the anime or ending in the 4th series of the manga?

if you're talking about the manga, i really don't like the ending either, haven't watched the anime though
