I finally made an updated version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr6WndmYqLe0Y6M.html, let me know what you think!

Me who doesn’t even do any sports and sitting on the couch for over 10 hours but likes watching sport anime.

haikyuu and kuroko no basket was always there is always there and will always be there😌✨

For my fellow Ace of Diamond fanatics... the manga is STILL releasing btw. So yeah the story aint even over, 15 years later, still going strong.

Dia no ace massively underrated. Yeah i know its slower than many others, but that makes the big scenes so much greater. You know how much hard work is behind every pitch. For me Dia no Ace is so great i didnt watch any other sports anime for a year after it cause i thought no other could give me these feelings. Which is certainly true but i like others as well

I've never been as emotional attached to an Anime like Diamond no ace and Sawamura. His smile is like the cutest thing ever.

Honorable mention: Inazuma Eleven. There are a lot of lists which do not include it, and I am surprised that this 24 minute 30 second video does not mention it. Just wanted to say that it is a good anime and is the reason I started playing football because before a lot of people here play football, but I wasn't inspired so this anime inspired me. Thanks for your time.

When I first watched Haikyuu , it was a very amazing sports anime and therefore I proclaim it as one of the best Sports anime of all time but after watching Ace of diamonds , I change my mind. I can't help but read the manga as I was so curious of Seidou's development because they've been through a lot of loss in games. Still though I love both Animes ❣️ still waiting for the Haikyuu movies and still waiting for Ace of diamonds chapters !

I have watching so many sport anime but no one can beat haikyuu to me. Haikyuu always number 1.💚

I love how Diamond no Ace is always so high in these tops, but still only a few people have seen it

If you ever do competitive sport and watch many sports anime, you'll appreciate Haikyuu - The anxiety as a player/bench player/supporter - The story - The realistic, the best are not superhuman/the skill & technique/player rotation/supporter chant

I agree with Hajime no Ippo, Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basuke being a top 5sports anime.. but Slam Dunk without a doubt, no debate, takes top place. Sure, the animation is somewhat dated, but the storytelling was a pure masterpiece paced so perfectly and relatable. It inspired a whole generation. and yes, even Naruto's Thousand Years of Pain was first seen here in Slam Dunk (the character dynamic between sakuragi and rukawa is also somewhat similar to naruto and sasuke). The movie just came out 2months ago and it was good too. For me, in order of merit, it would be Slam Dunk Ippo Kuroko no Basuke Haikyuu other notable sports anime that i believe should take top 5 to 10 in this list but were not included in this video, in no order of merit are Initial D (motor sport drifting. also inspired a generation before Fast & Furious ever did) Major (Baseball) (imo, better than Diamond no Ace) Prince of Tennis Eyeshield21 (american football) Ashita no Joe (boxing) and considering this video was posted 2yrs ago, I wanna add recent anime, Ao Ashi (football/soccer) and Blue Lock (football/soccer) i like Ao Ashi a lot better than Blue Lock as it is a much more realistic anime that talks about team work, positioning, strategy both large and small, etc while Blue Lock feels more like a survivor anime centering around football. It is however, much more dynamic in animation and thats maybe why its more appealing to people not into sports. Also very popular was Free! (swimming) and Yuri on Ice (figure skating), altho these were more like yaoi lifestyle series that centered around swimming/figure skating (so not sure if i should classify them as sports anime)

I'm surprised that Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis was not on this top 20 sports anime list of all time. They were amazing.

I literally can't get over haikyuu 😧. Waiting for season 5.

Haikyuu! in my opinion is masterful writing at its finest. The product of a truly great mind. I aspire to write characters this incredibly well. I especially love how deep it dives into the sport it portrays. It accomplishes exactly what it sets out to and more. I think it deserves all the praise it gets.

Run with the wind was the first sports anime i had ever watched. So in love with the feeling that it gave me, I went ahead in search of animes that'd give me the same feeling so I came across Haikyuu! After that I was hooked! Sad that Major didn't make it in the lost though 😭

Kuroko no basket is one of the best Sport Anime that i ever watched 🤩😍🏀💪⚡ Edit 2022: Gotta agree with slam dunk and other sports anime but Manga slam dunk was peak 🤌

ace of diamond is the kind of anime that stays with you forever because of how frustrating it is when sawamura falls but i can watch ace of diamond over and over again

I don't know if this anime is counted as a sports anime but I would like to share this to everyone. Tsurune is an archary anime. It is a good and an underrated anime.

I'm happy that you included Welcome to the Ballroom in the top 10 list, and I say it really fits on the 6th place. The anime is just too good, it's one of my favorites ever!

If it's all time sports anime, SLAM DUNK by Takehiko Inoue that came out during the 90's should be in the list. Slam Dunk literally influenced Kuroko no Basket and Ahiru No Sora. It even influence the popularity of Basketball scene in Japan, that the Japan Basketball Association gave Takehiko Inoue a special commendation for helping popularized Basketball in Japan. And I think ONE OUTS (Baseball) is also a good sports anime, that could have been in this list.

For me Daiya No Ace will always have a special place in my heart. The journey how Ei-chan toward his dream is so fulfilling, the anime made me a proud mother 🤧. Haikyuu will be my most favorite but other sports anime are good too like Days, Re:Main, Knockout, SlamDunk,Prince of Tennis, Backflip, OneOuts, KurokoNoBasuke and more. I wish more sports anime will come. I love this genre despite I am a frail type person who can't do sports. 😆

Im so glad chihayafuru is on this list. The most people who take a look don't think its sport anime but is it, and the series is just amazing

Anyone a fan of Days here? That manga had parts that made me tear up as the character is relatable in various aspects.

Is it just me or i already knew haikyuu was going to be the first

Run with the wind gave me some new emotions from sport anime, the atmosphere is unique. I recommend! Haikyuu is all times best for me! I’m biased because I’m a volleyball player. But still this is the most realistic ball anime I’ve seen while being so hyped as if it’s about super powers. Diamond no Ace taught me a lot about baseball from 0. This is my 2d favorite, the art is really good.

"Haikyu! & Kuroko No Basket" my all time favourite sports anime!!!!!!😍 But you forgot Prince of Tennis!!!!!!!!!! 🥺

Ippo at no 2 yet no one's talking about it in the comments is kind of sad.I hope people will recognise it soon and know how good it is.

For me, Diamond No Ace and Haikyuu is one of the best anime. Along with Slamdunk and Hajime No Ippo. These anime will forever be in my heart. Even if many years will come.

Diamond no Ace must be among the top 3

Thank you for this video. I’ve recently gotten back to watching anime after a 5 year hiatus. Sports anime are generally violence free and fun to watch, so I started there. So far, I’ve seen these titles; Yuri no Ice, Ballroom Dance, Kuroko no Basket and Haikyuu. Next: Blue Block. And now I can add plenty of others to the list! Thanks. 👍

Run With the Wind was a Masterpiece Indeed!

Run with the wind is a masterpiece. Absolutely a worth to watch

ashita no joe and slam dunk deserve to be on this list they are literally the pioneers of all the sports animes today

Haikyuu is phenomenal I have rewatched it several times and can’t wait for the new season. Run with the wind is a hidden gem, and I’ll have to check out ace of diamond after reading all these comments!!

The character developments in ace of diamond is just so amazing

I'm so happy you added Ballroom e Youkoso!! Also I recommend Stars Align if you liked Hanebado and Run with the Wind. They focus on the personal lives of the members as well n it's quite realistic

I cried when I saw Run with the wind on the list 😭 It's heavily under-mentioned

I used to hate volleyball.. until I watched Haikyuu. Not only is it an incredible anime, compelling and amazingly done, but it also had me grow an interest in this sport. That's how good it is.

Yowamushi Pedal is my favorite!! so many funny, emotional moments and the best characters/development I have ever honestly seen in an anime. I'm sad because I feel like it got overshadowed by My Hero since Onoda's VA also does Midoriya. Still waiting for season 5 to be animated 3 years later D:

Haikyuu was the first sports anime I’ve watched next was kuroko. Rewatched it a couple of times too but after watching diamond no ace I had to say it’s my all time fave now out of the three! 👌🏻 great MC and team it’s also funny and inspiring haha

I'd add Bakuten!! .. Its about men's rhythmic gymnastics.. And it was just beautiful although short ❤ I wanted to see them perform more! And also Tsurune.... It's about Kyudo (japanese archery) .. The animation and the soundtracks were perfect... Loved all the characters and the coach Masaki Takigawa is my new anime crush❤..... Anyways, it just blew me off!!... If you haven't watched it yet you should definitely give it a try!!

Ao Ashi for sure has to be on an updated list in the future and the manga just keeps getting better

Diamond no Ace is the best anime sports I've ever watch. I watch it without knowing anything about baseball and came to love the sports. It is that great. You can't help yourself not to anticipate what's coming next because it has a lot to offer. Hope more people witness this masterpiece.

Great list, I love lists like this that open up genres for me, thank you! I like how you added some more obscure sports in here.

Ao aashi will be on the list now ❤️

My top 5 : - Haikyuu ( inspired me so much that I started playing volley-ball ) - Run with the wind ( unfortunatly I don’t have the endurance to run 10km ) - Ballroom e youkoso (never expected to love it so much) - Yuri on Ice (I tought it would be around top 10 in the vid, really good sport anime) - Ao ashi (being the only sport anime airing right now I’m hyped)

I think that ahiru no sora is one of the most underrated sports anime the way that team plays is so fun to watch people should definitely talk about it more

Diamond no Ace is no doubt the best sports anime. The fact that it's been fifteen years and the manga/anime is still ongoing (and we're only in the second high school year and everyone can tell we're only halfway there) and actually showed the insane amount of growth the main character had in a slow, painful but remarkable, rewarding process cemented it. Also, its realism. With the exclusion of Sawamura Eijun, you can't love or hate anyone completely in Daiya. The characters are portrayed like actual human beings, capable of giving us, readers/watchers, joy and disappointment with their words and choices. That's something not all works of literature has - imperfect characters, and them being not perfect makes them even more lovable, makes us relate to them in a deeper level. One last thing, Daiya no Ace has Sawamura Eijun. Period. But anyway, all sports anime are great. You won't get bored or hate any anime under the sports genre. For real.

I’m so surprised and glad that “Giant killing”, “Ballroom e youkoso(Wellcome to the ballroom)” and “Kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru” are listed in. They are not so popular but good show. Original manga of “Giant killing” and “Ballroom e youkoso(Wellcome to the ballroom)” are amazing, so I highly recommend you read them. Original novel of “Kaze ga tsuyoku fuiteiru” is of course great but I never read it in English coz I’m Japanese.

Hajime no ippo is the most realistic and near perfect anime with great fights with actual logic, comedy, romance, emotions. It's got everything

Slam dunk, Major and Diamond no Ace will always be my favourite sport anime/manga. Can't wait for the sequels of these ones.

My top 3 1. Slam dunk 2. Diamond no ace 3. Hajime no ippo

how does nobody know Inazuma Eleven, it's an amazing football anime. Every boy I know in the Netherlands loved the show when they were young and when we play the sport together, we call supershots from the series.

My fav sports anime is the one that's focused around a short protagonist and his taller more gifted companion. They play together for the first time in highschool. They form a decent team with their other friends in the sport and enter a competition where they unfortunately lose. Luckily there's a second competition later in the year and they compete in that one too.

Do anyone remembers Inazuma 11,I grew up with it ..it's always be the best sport anime for me❤️

for me no. 1 is Diamond no ace. I've never watched a sport anime with so much tensions, joy, sadness.

Major should definitely be on this list, also One Outs

All out, daiya no ace, ahiru no sora, kuroko no basket and haikyuu will always have a very special place in my heart

when you spend more time looking for anime than actually watching anime:

I'm not surprised no one talks about Chihayafuru, while imo it's definitely the best in terms of story and characters, the animation is just lacking I am surprised tho, that Ballroom went so much under the radar, it's definitely a nice watch

I like this list! It even has Welcome to the ballroom with a good ranking to boot! I agree, it is such a good anime. Im glad to see the appreciation.

thank you for this list, is very nice

Ace of diamond will always be my favourite sport anime of all time and idk why this anime is so underestimate, everyone always talking about haikyuu and kuroko, but ace of diamond can definitely rival with both of them, and that’s too bad that nobody never talk about this masterpiece. The thing i like the most in it is that it is one of the most realistic sport anime i’ve ever seen (that’s why main character’s development is slow and ppl who complain about this don’t understand it lmao) and i think it’s so much better than sport animes with overpowered characters and unrealistic things, but it’s just my opinion ^^ and all characters are really endearing 😭❤️anyway guys go watch this masterpiece!!

I have been interested in sport anime during this quarantine.

If you like watching idaten jump then definitely yowamushi padel will be the right choice to watch .It is worth watching and it is underrated . MC does not have that much character development but side characters are on next level

baby steps is definitely the most realistic sports anime I've ever seen (biased tennis player), I really recommend everyone to give it a shot.

Haikyuu, Slamdunk, Major 1 and 2, Diamond no Ace, Eyeshield 21, Prince of Tennis

Another list I needed! My favourite so far was Haikyuu, Kuruko no basket, Run with the wind & Prince of Stride. Although I agree with the rest, Slum dunk should be in the list. Aaaahhh now I wanna watch them all over again! For the umpteenth time! 😫😫

Haikyuu is a masterpiece ❤️🔥it lacks nothing , i have watched it many times n still it has no competition 🔥🔥

Very surprised that Hungry Heart : Wild Striker and Slam Dunk are missing from this list.. They are all time classics..!!

Also, I’d like to recommend Big Windup! It’s simple, main hero is overly timid, but still I watched with joy. Nice to relax.Not to everyone’s taste probably.

Thanks for the video❤️ never enough sports anime recommendations. I enjoyed slam dunk, Kaze ga tsuyoku furuiteiru, ahiru no Sora , stride, also blue lock the Manga is an absolute treat, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be using this list as a reference as I've been craving sports animes for months now(since June or so 😅) thank you once again🙌

I'm so glad you put Kaze ga in top 5.. It's the best inspirational, drama, sport anime I.G. did.

I love sports animes, I've seen a bunch from this list already. I'm surprised Tsurune was not on it though. I thought that was a really good one too. I have to go back on this list to see which other anime I'd watch next!

My top 3: 1. Haikyuu 2. Diamond no Ace 3. Yowamushi Pedal

Hinomaru Sumo is very underrated. Read the whole manga and I hope it will get further adaptations. Such a great story and Thicc Lines for Thick Bois. Haikyuu and Kuroko were some of the other greats for me. Now to check out some Rugby anime!

Recommed Blue lock, it got a good animation lol, even through there are only 3 episodes, its worth it watching it.

"Kuroko no Basket" will always be No.1 for me 💙🏀 I have watched many sports anime even "Haikyuu" but no one can beat Kuroko in my opinion. It is just perfect

Haikyuu and Kuroko no basket always be at my top list!! The best anime sport that I ever watched!💜

Another recommendation: Re-main a sports anime about Minato Kiyoumizu and the journey of him and his team in water polo

Sports anime and manga seems to be quite a niche in America compared to Japan, there are a lot of major titles like Kyojin no Hoshi (Star of the Giants, Dokaben, Yakyuu-kyo no uta (The Song of Baseball Fans), Play Ball and Captain that seem to be extremely popular in Japan, yet nobody in American knows them. It even took years for Captain Tsubasa to receive an official release despite being popular around the world. It's not like there isn't any sports anime known here, such as Inazuma Eleven, pretty much most Mitsuru Adachi series, Ace of the Diamond, Major, Prince of Tennis, Haikyuu, etc. But a lot of titles are just too obscure or aimed towards Japanese audiences to really be known overseas.

The anime run with the wind is soooooo underrated maan i swear its so good it became an anime id never ever forget n the characters n the lesseons it teaches you

DIAMOND NO ACE ❤️❤️ the best anime sport in whole world literally and so REALISTIC

I got ADDICTED to Kuroko No basketball when I first watched it I really want a season 4 though but I know they ain’t gonna make it 😭

Diamond no ace is one of the best. it is impossible not to empathize with the players. Every frustration that remains after certain chapters is an incredible thing and shows that it is an anime that aims at the realism of sport

I enjoyed watching these sport animes too (names in order): Slam Dunk/ Hungry Heart: Wild Striker/ Major/ One Outs/ Dear Boys/ Captain Tsubasa/ Ookiku Furikabutte/ Eyeshield 21/Free/ Area no Kishi/ Prince of Tennis/ Battery/ Ginga a Kickoff!!/SK Infinity/ Cross Game/Touch/ Slow Step/ Mix: Meisei Story Name your favorites too😁

My top 5 5. Diamond no Ace 4. Sk8 the Infinity 3. One Outs 2. Kuroko no Basket 1. Haikyuu UwU

Surprised eyeshield 21 didn’t make it to the list. That was a good anime in my opinion.

My fav ones 😊 1. Hakyuu 2. Prince of Tennis 3. Kuroko no Basket

Seeing Baby Steps in the top 10 brings me a special joy. I really enjoyed the more cerebral approach to the sport. Yall check out Ao Ashi! It's got Haikyuu!! hype and feels.

The manga for ahiru no sora is incredible, about 400 chapters not translated yet but its such a great underdog story. Imo the best basketball manga after slam dunk and real

No Slam Dunk? The pioneer of all the basketball animes today. What a laughable list.

Hajime no ipo is my top 3 all time anime. It’s surprising how underrated it is. Give it a shot, guys. You won’t regret.

Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21, Prince of tennis. This 3 deserves in the top 10!

You can also add Shakunetsu no Takyuu in the list. It's a really underrated one, not much realistically because of all we know prolong scenes and added jojo alike effects but it's also educational still. It's about table tennis also all moe girls :> Hope you can check them out.

Haikyuu really good!! Nerve-wracking sport anime, can't help remembering the catchphrase ' Nice kill ' 'Don't mind' 'one more'. Even the Haikyuu live action stage is damn cool..

Hajime no ippo is so underrated 😔

Thanku for the video i love your videos i watch all anime in this video all anime are best❤

The only sports anime that I don't want to end, HAIKYUU!.
