Sports Anime
Ah, sports. There’s nothing like a young boy or girl discovering themselves through the passion of a sport and forming friendships that will last a lifetime. Anime has a broad and exciting way of portraying these exact situations; from Mahjongg players in Saki, to young beautiful swimmers in Free!, or buff but sensitive rugby players in All Out!
