well so far i've only seen the fighting spirit. thats one of those underdog stories. main character get bullied all of his life and he gets saved by a boxer and you know get involved into boxing. the story is great and the matches are actually edge of the seat thrillers most of em anyway.
like i said earlier i havent seen other types of sport related anime. i guess most people might not be into these types cause there not into sports themselve...ill admit im not a big sports fan and i now nothing at all when it come to foosball and anyother sport. but i alway like to watch a good game no matter whos playing.
i guess most people wont wanna watch a sport related anime cause if you think about it most people watch it for the fantasy and great stories and battles that happen on alternate universe and stuff. so they probably figure why watch something they know nothing about and probably never tried in real life (not really trying to say anything bad here so no better get offended)
i would like to see more anime based on sports but only if they can pull it off like they did in the fighting spirit.
