If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Japan needs to get off their asses and make a handball anime tbh.

Make it women's handball and fill it with yuri for all i care, just give me a handball anime god damnit. Handball is a great spectator sport and it could easily make a great anime.
Would also give me more sports anime i want to watch, so that'd be nice. Looking forward to yowamushi pedal's third season for that reason.


Couldn't agree more. I was addicted to handball, water polo, and rugby (despite Nothing But Commercials' best efforts to have me watch nothing but swimming) during the Olympics. They need more of those sports in Murika.

Haikyuu is legit good, it's not some 10/10 perfect anime but it's good without a doubt

Likable characters, uses a lot of time on the sport, matches are exciting, soundtrack and animation are good, no real asspulls or idiotic over the top things. It's just good, fun and enjoyable.

it also manages to always have some top tier openings

+ it helps for me that it's a sport i think is pretty fun to begin with, couldn't watch a sports anime if i didn't like the sport tbh


Yeah, I think Volleyball is a pretty fun sport. Alright, I trust you guys on it and put it on my ptw. Or I may start watching it shortly.

Fuck yes. I might be confusing something here but I think their women national team isn't even half bad, either. I remember googling for a handball anime but there isn't one. I think there is a 10 chapter manga about it which is quite bad apparently and that's it. : / Watching handball on a regular basis I can savely say that this would be a sport I would be excited about watching as an anime. Provided they don't use CGI for running sequences of the whole team all the time, like in All Out...

Watched ep3 of All Out. Question: Is it common for sports anime to not show the actual game all that much? I only watched Chihayafuru which could be considered similar and while they wouldn't show the whole game they would show the important parts, in betweens and most importantly you always had an idea of what was going on and who was ahead. The first game in All Out was nothing like that. Mostly talking, flashbacks and inner thoughts. Only a handful of plays. If the whole show is like this it will be pretty terrible.

As the resident sports animu connoisseur, I can tell you that the majority of sports anime do show a big chunk of the matches (but obviously not all). However, practice matches often only get one or two episodes as they prefer to move towards the actual good parts quickly. Practice matches, especially the very first one of the series, mainly aim to provide an introduction to everyone's relative skill level.

Haikyuu, Ace of Diamond, Major, Ookiku Furikabutte, Hajime no Ippo, Kuroko, and many others all show a good to decent amount of match time.


Thanks Souma. I think I'll give it a few more eps. I watched Hajime no Ippo at one point but put it on hold after ep9 because there were other things I wanted to watch instead. Never picked it up again.

Honestly though, All Out seems kinda underwhelming. =S Haikyuu's much better!

I didn't talk about the pacing of the respective series, you just made a post talking about spending 3½ entire episodes on a single match and we pointed out that haikyuu is currently spending 10 episodes on a single match, there's nothing else to it.

Also the opening i'm currently at for pokémon X&Y is quite nice
+ Show Spoiler +


It's ok I guess. Doesn't really hype me. Nothing beats the western OP1 though. I'm half-way through my "rewatch" of s1. There are still episodes I remember like the charizard national park one. Didn't know I even watched episodes that far into gen2.

I think a Field Hockey sports anime would be great. Lots of little discrete skills as well (Jinking, Backhand shots, Tossing, flicking, penalty corners etc) so you can have a cast of characters who all 'specialize' in one particular area.

I'd really love a Hockey sports anime. Make it happen Japan.

4 episodes in and I still think Izetta's writing is pretty bad. This is probably the Kabaneri of the season.

Brave Witches is supposed to be a reboot with a whole new wing, but they seem content to rehash characters, storylines, and even abilities. Maybe this means they'll be able to recreate the magic of ep 7, but I'm pretty skeptical.

Haikyuu is still far superior to its manga source. The faster pacing helps so much.

I still hurt inside after the women's doubles finals.

but yeah badminton anime would be great as well. I don't personally like tennis but i think badminton is pretty fun to watch.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

, the plot is super dark/grim from what I've heard (hence madoka ripoff) and there's a literal shitton of voices trapped in there. Really there should be something in there for everyone.

And unlike Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru they know what to do with the males in the series: + Show Spoiler [pic, spoilerish] +
because that:

all jokes and kidding aside. It seems pretty watchable and I liked madoka so I'll see if this one can at least entertain me a little with that mix between moe/thriller even if the chances of it getting close to my entertainment for other examples of this genre-mix (madoka, Gakkou gurashi?) are close to 0 and could very well be that it's just going to suck really hard.

Also Hayamin + Show Spoiler +
only magical girl who's listed as supporting char instead of main on MAL. I'll be surprised if she survives ep2


guess I was wrong on Hayamin

Also as an update I guess. It hasn't been anywhere close to my enjoyment of Madoka and Gakkou gurashi so far. But it's still watchable

Those are some large shapely breasts for a guy. Sure you not on something Toad?

This season of Symphogear seems all about daddy issues. Don't know if I like that. Also Tsubasa's parental history is really fucked up.

Symphogear GX dropped the ball with Hibiki, Top Dad, and the emphasis on the crappy FIS girls. Was unfortunate, especially considering the season's baller Tag Line
