yeah i'm getting the feeling not many people like this anime, i'm open for almost any sports anime nowadays, Hajime no Ippo is undoubtly number one followed by Eyeshield 21 and Slam Dunk, Prince of Tennis has to be the worst but still i enjoyed that, anyway yeah the next match should be a good one, at first that new receiver guy they got was a little akward to me but because his voice actor is the same as One Piece's Usopp he quickly grew on me i think the show has potential
If we are gonna talk about sports anime i've enjoyed the most, I would put them in this order:
Hajime no Ippo (there's no competition here)
Touch (Just watched it last week)
Major (can go up since it's still ongoing, maybe down if it stalls on the drama side)
Slam Dunk (Sadly the ending sucked, got to read the manga)
Whistle
Princess Nine
Wild Striker
Eyeshield 21
Dear Boys
Prince of Tennis (it's pretty lame, but still fun to watch from time to time)
Buzzer Beater (I havent finished it, but it was pretty lame)
Ring ni Kakero 1 (pretty shitty if you ask me, still watching it though)
Dan Doh!! (watched one episode, never touched it again)
Captain Tsubasa (I haven't watch it, I hope some group releases this... it looks pretty good to me)
If Hikaru no Go, Initial D, and Kaleido Star count, then they would be somewhere near the top...
As you can see, I tend to lean on series that have good plot, drama, realism, over series that is supernatural... but I enjoy them all so it's all good...
there's a lot of baseball anime's out there, from your list some i didn't even know but i really don't like baseball that's the one sport i find so dull
Here are my fav sport animes
Hajime No Ippo (my fav anime of all the anime i have watched!)
Major - Great story,drama,nice games
Intial D- great races,great music,good characters
Slam Dunk- funny,great basketball games,funny main character,i see him as Takamura in high school,thats why i like him so much.
Eyeshield21- of the eps i have watched its been okay,it would become better, i read the manga [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Prince of tennis - lame,story some good characters like Momoshiro and Kaidoh ok games too much fantasy for my taste.
Bad:
Buzzer Beater- made by one of my fav mangakas but the games suck compared to his other work Slam Dunk and there isnt much story.
My fav sport is Soccer,i'm african which african doesnt like Soccer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] buy strangely i havent watched a Soccer anime. I will start watching Wild Striker,Whistle.
I havent watched ES21 in a while i have been saving eps so i will be in a couple of days and write about the eps i have watched.
Anyone know where I can find Hajime No Ippo? Agreed with Hakeem with Prince of Tennis. Too much fantasy. Still fun to watch as I play tennis but some of the shots in that is way too worked. Twist shot doesn't go for the face at all.... Its called a kick serve and it just goes diagnal like hell after it hits. Time to go check bakaupdates...
As for where you can find Hajime no Ippo, try boxtorrents, they've got 2 versions up. One is the entire series + extras, and the other is only about halfway though the series.
As for where I'd rank Eyeshield 21, it's probably near the top, definately higher than PoT, but lower than Hajime no Ippo... Though if, as Budweineken suggested, you count Hikaru no Go as a sports anime, that's probably my favorite... I liked it even more than Hajime no Ippo.
Whats Hikaruo no Go? Major is pretty cool. Just watched the first 10 episodes of it. VERY FUN. Sad parts to it though. More drama than games currently. Games are fun to watch though. Its actually somewhat realistic.
Hikaru no Go is about the japanese board game Go, it's an amazing series about a boy who becomes possesed by a 1000 year old spirit who is aiming for the Hand of God it's supposed to be the ultimate move in the game of Go
Thats why i rank it nr 2 its very realistic both the games and the story about Goro's famliy.Quote:

There will be alot more games before you cought up to ep 22.
Episode 12 came out this morning
http://a.scarywater.net/saizen...B9050B1%5D.avi.torrent
Episode 15 is out for those that are still watching
http://a.scarywater.net/saizen/[Saizen
Also, for those that haven't seen the OVA yet, you can watch it after episode 13, that's where it fits if not mistaken... be advized though, that the VAs are different...
Good thing is that we get to see Haruma's character as it was meant to be...
still watching this can't believe this has no fan base it's way better then most sports anime's
Eyeshield 21 Bunshin no jutsu ? Wtf
Lol yeah, that was funny...
I still don't think that this series is superb, but i'm still enjoying it... there've been plenty of sports anime i've enjoyed more than this, but I won't get into that discussion again...
But man, Sena should just simply tell Mamori that he's Eyeshield 21... it's not like revealing to her would change anything against other teams... I mean, even Shin already knows who he is, and that's who they should be worried most about
BTW, the OVA was pretty fun... some street tackle football... pretty insane "Fuckers"

Shitty episode
What other's have you seen? Like i mentioned a page ago... there've been plenty i've found more interesting than this
Wow, this thread hasn't been bumped in forever...
Anyhow, I don't know who still watches this (I sure don't) but I found this last release's title too amusing to not mention here.
Thus I present to you
Eyeshield 21 21
brought to you by Saizen http://animesuki.com/group.php/292.html
Nice, a 1 hour special... 22-23
