Anime Recommendation and Suggestion Query

[KrayZ33]

how about a sports anime?

Ookiku Furikabutte for example, it's about baseball... it's actually very tactical, but not too complex and the art is the best I've seen in sports anime.

and it's probably not so unrealistic like "Major" in my opinion... there are no "super straight tiger fastballs" or other balls like you see in series like "Superkickers" or so

If you are not averse of watching sports anime, you should give it a try... it's fun to watch them play... and it is not so onesided like other sports anime in my opinion
(you really get to know each team they are playing against)

I know that Death Note and sport animes are actually very different ^^ but imho the planning and the players actions are very similiar to the game of cat-and-mouse... "will he throw a fastball? will he except me to throw the fastball? can we somehow lead him to a wrong conclusion?"

and so on

and whoever likes to watch sports on TV will love this series... it's *really* fun to watch the teams play! they have the right spirit of competition and it feels like you are somehow involved in the game... this was actually the first sport anime where I had such a feeling.

I guess it's because they feature the fans, which are also very important for the players n stuff... and the music is good too. (which is partly made by the fans and their music group btw)

ah one thing: If you give it a try, don't get shocked by the whiny main character it's not so hard to bear with him later, trust me.

seriously.. I don't recommend this anime only to you, really everyone should give it a try, it's very good.

I wish they would make a second season :/
