This time I am covering three sports shows. The sports genre
is a strangely maligned section of anime probably dating back to some ancestral
jock vs nerd conflict. However here at Jeckyllcast and blog I am willing to put
away old grudge and view all genres without prejudice. In this group there are
two promising shows and one that is very different from most anything out
there.
Baby Steps
Eichiro was a boy who took meticulous notes on all his
studies and how he came to love tennis. Baby steps is a show that looks pretty
interesting. This show looks like it is made for a male audience although I
didn't see anything marks it as offensive to women. Although it isn't taking my
place for favorite sports show (that would be Hajime no Ippo) it looks like it
could easily be a fun show.
Haikyu
Shoyo is a short boy who loves volleyball. The first episode
of this show is something that really shows the main character's love of the
sport and complete unwillingness to give up. While he is only one component to
a volleyball team he does make a strong impression. This looks like it could be
a fun show.
The rowdy Sumo Matsutaro
Matsutaro is a strong man who eventually becomes a sumo
wrestler. However in the first episode he is a gigantic jerk to everybody he
meets and is probably the least likable main character most anime fans have
seen for quite some time. This combined with a really old art style will make this
is a rather unpleasant show for many anime fans to try.
