It’s been quite some time since a good boxing anime like Hajime no Ippo has come alone and graced the anime world. Yet, with Megalo Box, that has changed as this show is utterly fantastic. Filled with some beautiful animation, stellar storytelling and a truly awesome futuristic boxing theme, Magalo Box is just incredible to say the least. The series ends with its 13 episode and we just have this one question: Will there ever be a season 2 for Megalo Box? Because we need it!

When we read about Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, we instantly had this thought. How could an anime about horse girls be fun to watch and not strange? Though, when episode one of Uma Musume: Pretty Derby dropped, we were quite surprised at this enjoyable light-hearted series. Studio P.A. Works did a phenomenal job with animation and style to create a simple and fun slice of life series about horse girls living life and racing for fun. If you desire a different type of sports series, we recommend trying out Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. Sometimes the strangest ideas can be some of the most intriguing ones.

Back in the early 80s a soccer—football, for most—anime came out called Captain Tsubasa based on a popular manga series of the same name. 30 years later, Captain Tsubasa returns to the anime world now done by studio David Productions and it couldn’t be any better folks! With heart pounding games, wonderful animation/art and a cast of cool characters, Captain Tsubasa is easily one of the best sports anime in the last year let alone few years. Even if you don’t consider yourself a soccer—football—fan we feel you might want to give a few episode of Captain Tsubasa a try. We are hooked and know many of you out there will be, too!
