Would Love Some Suggestions

Postby CodeZTM » Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:58 pm

I just finished the first season of Big Windup, and I absolutely loved it. As such, I'm looking for similar anime to it.

1) Characters with low self-esteem finding acceptance/friends/happiness
2) Sports related, underdogs getting good.
3) NOT depressing. It can be dramatic, but I'd prefer not to be sad 80% of the time I'm watching it.

Meeting any of these would be good.

A lot of sports anime is like this.

My first recommendations would be Princess Nine and Battle Athletes.

GAH. How could I forget about that one! I love baseball to begin with, and this was on an ancient list of anime I wanted to see. #toamazon!

I've already seen Battle Athletes though. Just as enjoyable. ;)

Keep em' coming though. This is an essentially unexplored genre for me, so I'm open to virtually anything.

Eyeshield 21 might work, though I'm just going off of the first 4 or so eps and what I've heard about it.

Eyeshield 21 actually does fit all of the criteria that you listed. I've only read the manga though so I don't know if they changed anything for the anime. Chances are that they didn't though.

GIANT KILLING could probably fit in.
And I haven't personally watched it, but I always see Ookiku Furikabutte in this kind of threads.

If it's baseball, definitely check out Cross Game. It was amazing. It also needs more videos!
