Welcome to DISCUSSION!

Hi, everyone! Once a week, I'm going to give you a topic. All players need to do is give their opinions/stories/comments on said topic. There's nothing really formal about this, but you'll get cards for answering regardless. There's no requirement about how big or detailed of an answer you give, but try to avoid one word answers! (This is about talking, after all)

This week's topic is SPORTS TEAMS. I mean the anime/manga/game/etc ones. Not real ones. You can talk about those too, if you want.

A question you could answer (but are not limited/required to) is what is your favourite sports team?

You'll get 2 regular cards and 1 puzzle card for commenting. Prizes will be distributed throughout the week and this game ends on Tuesday, September 3rd.

you get an extra card this time because i took a week off.

I DON'T REALLY WATCH SPORTS ANIME... but the one time I did was Giant Killing, and I remember liking all the characters in the East Tokyo United soccer team. If only I actually cared about soccer.

I don't know why I watched it either but yeah they're my favorite team.

[devilism]

sports anime....... my eternal nemesis... sweats profusely and stares at hands

the only real sports team i can remember instantly is minako's volleyball team at high school but they hardly show anything of that.. in fact they never show any of the other members IT'S A ONE PERSON TEAM.. although lbr if anyone could pull that off it's minako

i guess the closest i've got to sports teams are the teams from dmmd?? rhyme and rib are like.. sort.. of.. like sports, right.. beating up people totally counts as sports, doesn't it.. if wrestling is a sport then this is too okay!! because in that case dry juice is my jam mizuki's team is so cute how he wants them all to be like family dang that's adorable!! and at least their logo isn't entirely confusing like how mink's team has a rain.. bow.. even though it's a group of convicts?? i'll never understand yaoi trash

[prayers]

ANOTHER ONE OVER HERE i don't really do sports alas...

I think i tried prince of tennis once a long time ago?? Then there was Free... SPOTS ANIME!! They had those sports teams in persona games and i always picked soccer in persona 4

i'm gomen katy

[eat]

the only thing i like less than otomes but yet still completely immersed myself in is sports anime... and also 500+ chapters of shounen. so i don't really have a favourite team. um... i like the swim club in amagami? dangan ropa girl jocks... is that a thing... softenni?? for the sole reason of making me learn about the existence of "soft tennis"

YEAH I DON'T EVEN LIKE SPORTS IRL... or high school boys

[karna]

you know you don't ask someone from michigan what their favorite Real sports team is... nevermind the fact that i don't actually care about hockey. ANYHOOT, i don't watch sports anime! or read sports manga. ai has been trying to get me to watch free for a while now, but i just don't... care about sports anime. i think the closest i got to actually caring about sports teams in anime/manga is when i was reading-- uhhh i can't even remember the name of it if that tells you anything LMAO google here i come...!

UWASA NO MIDORI-KUN!!! yeah... i don't remember the team names, but whatever soccer team midori is on is my favorite. there we go. uvub

[admiral]

haha yeahhh I don't really watch sports anime. I got roped into watching Free! which is okay I guess but it's also not really a sports anime let's be real. OH I did read several volumes of Eyeshield 21 and I liked it a looot. but I never finished reading it and that's sad. maybe some day.

the better question is where's all my super popular girls' sports anime!! give me a roller derby yuri series or give me death!!!

[venicism]

Oh good grief. This one I could go in-depth gushing over, because I have so much love for two teams from Prince of Tennis. The series itself is really stupid, but the characters are so much love... and I have such undying affections for both Rikkai and Shitenhouji. Plus I take great pride in being one of the first people to play Shiraishi in an RP and still be playing him in a game now. That's like 7 years of consistency lol. But like. In one team (Shitenhouji) you have a speed freak, a perfectionist, an overgrown hippy, a hipster, a tag-team of comedic idiots, a guy no one ever remembers, their hot coach, and finally the hyper little redheaded cherry on top. But then you have the other team (Rikkai) who are full of serious badasses. They're just this powerhouse of dedicated players that I honestly can't begin to gush about because I've loved them for so long that I just can't deconstruct all that love without rambling too much.

That said, I've only ever gotten into one other sports anime, and that was Kuroko no Basuke. I don't actually love teams as much as I love characters for it, though. Granted most of them are from Seirin but it's hard not to love those dorks.

Also, my icon is a fanart of Kirihara from team Rikkai lmfao

SPORTS!

[thelump]

THIS IS MY KIND OF QUESTION!
I don't know why I love sports anime/manga so much because I can't stand watching real life sports.
I was gonna say obviously it has to be the Deimon Devil Bats, from Eyeshield 21, but then I had to punch my self in the face because no matter how much I love Hiruma he will never beat my love for any of my Prince of Tennis babies. And my favorite team would have to be Seigaku, it has all of my babies, so I have to love them. I even love the past Seigaku captain, and I feel like he only shows up in like a couple of chapters of New Prince of Tennis. My only problem with Seigaku is how easily the 3rd years win, except against each other because then Tezuka is king. Also, on a side note, my favorite Haikyuu! teams are tied for Karasuno and Nekoma because I'm indecisive and I love just about everyone.

[glacialphoenix]

Not a sports anything fan, so the only sports teams I know are the ones from Persona 3 and 4, although I guess I like the P4 ones better.

[beezebeora]

Ahh... I have to lame this out and talk about in-real life sports /_\ I watch some sports anime, but I really don't know to much on them to discuss teams. (If you asked me this when I was in middle school back in 2002 or so, I have been able to tell you my favorite team in Eyeshield, but I honestly forgot all the team names (I did like the Egyptian-themed one from an earlier part, and the western-american team!)

I like Sports in real life though! I love soccer a lot and American Wrestling (though the latter I guess isn't a real sport.) I really like the team Samurai Blue and CSKA. Though, I am a huge fan of Keisuke Honda, so I guess I am starting to like Milan as well too! When he was with CSKA though, I started to really like them!

[vilya]

Not a huge sports anime viewer here. I once started watching Prince of Tennis because I enjoy tennis, but I didn't stick with it. Pretty sure I have seen two episodes of Free! as well. A lot of people I know enjoy Free! though and I thought the first few episodes were cute so I'd definitely keep watching! I think it's funny that the two sports anime I've tried are from the high school sports I played. I don't do too much with sports in real life either apart from going to my cousins' various school sports events...and even then, half of them are not exciting to me. Whoops.

OH I JUST REMEMBERED the football episode of FMP Fumoffu, that was an experience. Not quite a team anime but definitely something to remember, haha.

[polizei]

only sports anime/manga/anything i've really paid any attention to for more than a few seconds is free, so B') my favourite team is the samezuka team in the second season. rin having a team of wide varieties of personalities is really awesome to me, since in the first season he was a little buttmunch - the way they all bounce off each other is interesting and fun too.

[poland]

UH. I like YowaPeda but i legit couldn't tell you their school names rn. I like the yellow one. The main one....

OTHER THAN THAT the only other sports manga i read is about quiz games. i hate this game.

[bats]

soccer is fun in anime... not so much irl for me

[bats]

LMFAO MINAKO THE ONE MEMBER OF THE TEAM... AMAZING.

yes i will take rib and rhyme... they're yaoi enough to go along with shounen sports anyway

[bats]

"I DON'T LIKE SPORTS SORRY" is always accepted in discussion okay

[bats]

thu i don't know how you exist

it's kind of amazing

[prayers]

SPORTS IS MY WEAKNESS IT'S TRUE

[bats]

don't worry, i'm from canada and i feel like i'll get beat up if i say "i don't care about hockey anymore" out loud

[bats]

eyeshield has such nice art... i started reading it because i'm a big fan of one punch man. unrelated to my own discussion question, yeah.

BUT YES I AGREE. I WANT GIRL SPORTS ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[bats]

oh i'm so happy to read this answer LMFAO I'VE NEVER READ PRINCE OF TENNIS BUT YOUR ANSWER WAS ADORABLE

seirin is easily one of my favourite teams too because of their cute characters c:

[lesbians]

i totally thought i answered this last night but i didn't??? maybe i dreamt it, idk man that's weird but i.....don't watch or read any sports series lmao i keep meaning to watch hq!! but haven't yet...does cheering for the iwatobi swim team count???

[komory]

I don't really like sports in real life and I like sports series even less. Of all real life sports, though, I hate football the most. I think it's boring and I have terrible memories of the one time I had to be a cheerleader at one.

However, I freaking love the Devilbats from Eyeshield 21. I love that manga in general. It made me semi-understand football, at least enough to know that Hiruma is a killer quarterback and that all the different special components are important on a team. I especially love the Ha Ha Bros, who play defense.

I also like the Samezuka swim team. Yeah, that's right, not Iwatobi. Rin and both Mikoshibas are the best.

This also has nothing to do with anime or manga but Space Jam is the best sports film of all time. Come on and slam.

[tatsuya]

can't get into sports most of the time so i'll just echo the iwatobis... my precious angels. i also have a soft spot for karasuno from haikyuu because my angel hinata is there...

[fall]

I don't watch sports in real life. I can't say I've ever been able to get into a sports anime/manga either. Nothing against them personally, but they're really not my thing.
