They both have almost the same mindset when it comes to sports and scaring of the enemy. Not to mention they both are able to totaly obliterate their enemy, both physically and psychologically only using their brains. Well, Toua is also using his skill in throwing. But that's also another skill he earned using his intelligence. Btw, Eyeshields Hiruma and One Outs Toua are imo, long lost brothers, who were seperated when they were born.

It's just anime is mostly subconsiously related to 1. Comedy, 2. Action, 3. Sci-Fi 4. Mecha etc. But nobody would think sports is a major genre in anime and it's not, so they think anime with sports can't be good. Also, another fact is that humans tend to badmouth the unknown. Just like how we think aliens are bad creatures and made lots of films in it picturing them as the 'enemy'. I don’t think ppl are thinking this way of sports anime because they’re nerds.

Rather, I'm very much thankful for the lack of moe and ecchi titles... anime just hasn't been the same since the recent explosion of interest in ecchi and harem animes... disgusting.

They are both great animes and more awesome manga When I saw Giant Killing in the lineup a Hell Yeah!! was heard. Sport anime is very visceral , you have the underdogs and root like crazy for them. And Hiruma from ES21 is one of the greatest character I read or saw. You need to see Slam Dunk or Eyeshield 21 , if you dont like it then you dont like the genre.

Captain Tsubasa in all the versions (even the really old one), Hungry Heart wild strikers, Eyeshield 21... I think I'll give this one a shot. Well, at least I grew up watching some sport animes…

While there may be added enjoy­ment if you do like the sub­ject mat­ter, char­ac­ter­isa­tion is what drives any­thing."Any medium is capable of good characterization (as well as comedy/drama). With that in mind, I think I'd rather select a medium I'm more likely to enjoy the process or rather than a medium I'm wholehearted unfamiliar and noncaring about. It's like, if I can pick a sports anime which has interesting characters or another anime which has good characters PLUS other genre mediums I like, it's pretty obvious what I would choose given a limited time.Choices aren't made by "whether this is good" but by "whether this is better than the alternative". Course, one can argue that everyone also watch a lot of crappy shows, but they're mostly trials into the newly aired, and you're just as likely to pick up a crappy sports anime. @Scamp — “What AJthefourth said is true, it’s about the char­ac­ter­isa­tion far more than the sport itself.… While there may be added enjoy­ment if you do like the sub­ject mat­ter, char­ac­ter­isa­tion is what drives any­thing.”
