Bladey

Ah. I see. Somwtimes it's worth checking an eoisode or two to see if the story "feels" right for you, if it seems watchable for my taste then I usually give it a go.

Hi Yeona, how's your weekend? I think my sports anime marathon stops at the one I"m currently watching. I tyhink I will still try to watch some anime though.

Thought Actually I had a brief look at it. After the animes I watched, I think I may not like cross game.

Nope, not yet, but I will watch Cross game eventually :D This Major however completely absorbed me for now. It's like a drama WITH everything thrown in in a wel-shaken mix. I have never ever felt this way about anime series.

it's an excellent story :) I have nana in my PTw for some future too.

never mind again Shigeno will do :)
I totally LOVE Major! What a have it all story. That's what I like! Are there stories similar to Major, in the way they are told? not necessarily in the sports genre but I just LOVe how comprehensive Major is, it has everything!

major :) sports anime :) i love it :)

...I didn't realise the dad dying would happen so soon and for such an absurd reason. grr. and here i was hoping for a nice father-son subplot. well i like it anyway, it's my kind of story. but too bad about that dad.

Well it's boring to me but some find it well-developed.for me it dragged too much. hahah, what a guy, Toto :D I m watching anime. I am currently watching Major..but I almost don't feel like continuing because I KNOW the dad is going to die :( And I really like him. :( Hector is fine, though I"m not at home currently so he's likely a bit bored.

What are you watching? ^^

Haha. No, I haven't seen it. Is that like Rocky?. Ohh there used to be an old wrestling drama called Tiger Mass, it's one of those very old ones that used to air with italian dubs on loval tv.

Hajime no Ippo. About this guy Ippo who was bullied but decided to train boxing- not to get revenge, though.

I'll give that a go as well, never seen it. For the moment I changed topic to boxing anime but it's not as ivolving as the team sports animes.

^^ Oh I was actually meaning to ask you where that's from :D You answered the question I've been keeping in my mind for so long LOL :D I am palnning to watch Monster too one of these days. For now I am marathoning sports anime with some movies thrown for a bit of variety.

Hi Winnie, Just letting you know that it's me who sent you a friend request at MAL, not any other Bladey :D I hope it's all right. I am really in an anime phase recently and am amrathoning like crazy. It's a very nice change.

Hi there! How's it going? I sent you a friend request at MAL, just so you know that it is me :)

LOL. It won't last for long- I marathon in clusters but then I go for a looong break. But Slum dunk WAS so funny I didn't even notice I was marathoning it. No, Hungry heart is 52 episode. Maybe it's because I haven't watched many sports anime but I felt the character was nice. There was a bit of drama to his story too, which is probably why I liked it. It's from the same creator as Captain Tsubasa and there were a lot of losses in that one, also quite a bit comradeship outside the filed but I felt everything was quite well balanced. It's probably why I think I will explore the works of this creator more. The losses felt pretty formative..but not as real as in SLum Dunk, but still more real than in CT.. Interestingly, there was also a girl's soccer team in this one and for a change I liked the female character. I didn't in CT. The one in SD wasn't too important fortunately.

I finished it. 100 episodes is more like 50x40 mins, that's nothing and lately I really am into marathoning anime. Yes, it was fun to watch, I LOVE when rookie surprises everyone like Sakuragi,but I think I prefer to go for something more rounded like Hungry Heart as it had more character development outside the game, while Sd focuses mostly on development on the court and through the game. It felt like Slum Dunk was stripped of everything else besides the barebones, that is a strongly focused anime on what happens in court. I liked it, much to my surprise, it was very involving, the games were very interesting to watch, too bad they left out the national match... I don't see any good reason for it. I know how the manga ends, though, I looked up the final several volumes leading up to what happens after the final game is won. But SD really felt real and that is a big plus.

lol thanks for the title- I just remeber there was a blue haired girl or something I watched it as a kid. Same goes for Ace wo Nerae but that one I remebered better, maybe due to the live action version. I recall there was attack 1 live version too, i never too interest in it for some reason, maybe there really was something with that anime that made it forgettable for me, unlike ace wo nerae. I was thinking about it recently for some reason but as long as I have the title it can wait :D

:D yeah. But you know what I always find funny in anime like this- when they make all those dramatic decisive shots and they jump so high and even do a salto (football) and a power salto in combo with others. Some of these things seem inhumane :D Thanks, yes I'll check them out. I was looking for one anime about girls voleyball team, but this one is an old one that I don't seem to remember.
