The Truth Behind Why Akira Toriyama Stopped Drawing Manga

Akira Toriyama’s Lost Pen Holder

Behind the Dragon Ball Creator Toriyama

Well, well, well, why Akira Toriyama Stopped Drawing Manga? It looks like we have finally cracked the code for why Akira Toriyama stopped drawing manga. Brace yourselves, folks, because this is a story of love, loss, and one man’s unbreakable bond with his wooden pen holder.

Apparently, Toriyama’s entire career as a manga artist was dependent on this one particular pen holder that he bought when he was a wee little lad of 14. And when he lost it during the production of Sand Land, he just couldn’t bring himself to draw anymore. Though he was laughing when he stated ” Talk about a heart-wrenching tale.

But hey, we can’t really blame the man, can we? I mean, who among us hasn’t lost a cherished possession and felt completely lost without it?

The fact that Toriyama’s pen holder had been worn down over time to fit his hand perfectly just adds to the sentimentality of the whole thing. And let’s not forget the countless hours of sleep he sacrificed during the production of Sand Land. The man was clearly dedicated to his craft and his beloved pen holder.

The Real Reason Toriyama Stopped Drawing Manga

Derek Padula: The Truth Behind the Translation

Stop the presses! It looks like we’ve got a case of fake news on our hands, folks. According to CBR, the whole story about Akira Toriyama giving up manga drawing because he lost his favorite pen holder is a load of baloney. Apparently, Toriyama only misplaced his pen holder for a short while in 2000 after drawing Sand Land, and he joked that he used it as an excuse not to draw as much. So, all those tears we shed over a lost pen holder were for nothing. Talk about a plot twist!

Dragon Ball Update

But seriously, this is a good reminder that we shouldn’t believe everything we read on the internet. Especially when it comes to our favorite manga creators and their beloved pens. Journalists, take note: it might be a good idea to fact-check before publishing misleading articles and citing people as evidence. Just saying.

Okay, let’s get real here. Why did Toriyama stop drawing Dragon Ball Super? Sorry to disappoint, but there’s no lost pen holder story this time. The truth is, he just didn’t feel like drawing anymore. And honestly, can you blame the man? After years of drawing bulging biceps and epic manga stories, he deserves a break to recharge his creative batteries. Maybe someday he’ll feel inspired to pick up his pen again and grace us with more amazing artwork. But until then, let’s appreciate the works he’s already given us and hope he’s enjoying his well-deserved break.

And let’s not forget that Toriyama has never been one to shy away from a little self-deprecating humor. He’s joked about being happy to toss out outlines and sketches and not have to do all the heavy-lifting. The man paid his dues in the 80s and 90s, and he’s never had a desire to go back to that insane schedule. So, let’s cut the man some slack and let him enjoy his well-earned break. In fact, check Derek Padula’s recent tweets on it back in April 19 at @derekpadula.

Sand Land Anime

On a more serious note, it’s great to see that Toriyama’s Sand Land manga is getting the film adaptation it deserves. The story sounds intriguing, with themes of tyranny, exploitation, and unlikely alliances. And let’s not forget the demon prince named Beelzebub – I mean, how cool is that?

There’s more! Hold onto your seats because Bandai Namco released a trailer for the upcoming SAND LAND anime movie! In just 60 seconds, Bandai Namco has given us a taste of what’s to come from the collaboration between Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga, and ANIMA. And let me tell you, it’s looking hotter than a sand dune in the middle of a scorching desert.

August 18th is the day we’ll be treated to this masterpiece, so mark your calendars and get ready to be blown away by the stunning visuals and epic storyline. We’re talking tyrannical kings, scarce resources, and unlikely alliances. And let’s not forget about the demon prince named Beelzebub – I mean, how cool is that? If the trailer is anything to go by, this movie is going to be one heck of a ride.

So, buckle up and get ready to be transported to a world of sand, demons, and adventure. The SAND LAND anime movie is coming, and it’s going to be a wild ride you won’t want to miss.

In conclusion, let’s put the whole lost pen holder story to bed and acknowledge the possible real reasons behind Toriyama’s decision not to illustrate Dragon Ball Super. Whether it’s because of creative burnout or simply wanting to take a break, the man has earned the right to rest and enjoy his success. Did we mention Sand Land looks lit!?

One Piece and the Power of Haki & Devil Fruit

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

One Piece and the Power of Haki & Devil Fruit

Unveiling the Secrets of Power in One Piece: Haki and Devil Fruit

The Dual Power Sources: Haki and Devil Fruit

In the captivating world of One Piece, there exists two primary power sources that shape the destinies of countless characters: haki and Devil Fruit. Haki, a power reliant on rigorous training and innate talent, contrasts with Devil Fruit’s power, which is simply gained by consumption. With hundreds of unique Devil Fruits offering powers ranging from weak to unimaginably strong, these abilities come with a catch – consuming more than one Devil Fruit results in the user’s demise, with few exceptions like Blackbeard.

Awakenings: Unleashing the True Power of Devil Fruit

Devil Fruit’s potential isn’t limited, as an “awakening” can enhance its power by granting the user more refined abilities. Though One Piece hasn’t yet revealed a Logia awakening, fans have witnessed the immense boost that Paramecia and Zoan awakenings provide. Despite being considered awakenings, there exists a vast difference between them due to the varying properties of each Devil Fruit type.

The Rarity and Impact of Devil Fruit Awakenings

Awakenings are extremely rare and can significantly amplify a user’s abilities. Kaido, an ex-Emperor of the Sea, once disclosed that an awakening can only occur when a Devil Fruit user’s mind and body catch up to their powers. These newly developed abilities are more refined and tap into the fruit’s full potential.

One Piece suggests that awakening takes time to manifest, and even when it does, it demands extensive training for users to gain full control over their powers. Harnessing this massive boost without proper preparation drains stamina rapidly, as evidenced by Luffy’s short-lived Gear 5 awakening.

What is a Paramecia?

Paramecia Awakenings: Transforming the Environment

When a Paramecia user awakens, they can extend their powers beyond their body and manipulate their surroundings to align with their Devil Fruit power. For example, Doflamingo’s Ito Ito no Mi allows him to create and control strings, but with his awakened Devil Fruit, he can transform his environment into strings as well. Observing Doflamingo’s awakening, Luffy remarks that it resembles a Logia rather than a Paramecia.

Katakuri’s Mochi Mochi no Mi and Douglas Bullet’s Gasha Gasha no Mi from One Piece: Stampede showcase similar environmental control. However, this ability to transform and manipulate objects isn’t universal and is just one aspect of a Devil Fruit awakening.

Eustass Kid’s awakening allows him to magnetize objects beyond his own body, while Trafalgar Law’s Ope Ope no Mi grants him even greater control over objects within his “Room.” These awakenings exhibit how each Devil Fruit user gains distinct abilities that align with their powers.

Zoan awakenings offer users enhanced strength, speed, and durability compared to their regular state, along with faster recovery times. However, these awakenings come with the risk of the Zoan’s innate nature consuming the user’s personality, turning them into mindless beasts.

The Jailer Beasts of Impel Down exemplify this risk, while other Zoan users like Rob Lucci and Kaku maintain full control of their powers in their awakened forms. Mythical Zoans, like Luffy’s, are extremely rare, and little is known about their awakening process.

Before his awakening, Luffy’s Devil Fruit granted him Paramecia powers of the Gomu Gomu no Mi. In the “Wano” arc, it is revealed that Luffy actually possesses the power of “Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika.” Although Luffy has only utilized this ability once, it is apparent that his mental state is slightly altered as a side effect. Overwhelmed with joy even in the heat of battle, Luffy grins while maintaining his form. Gear 5 enables him to freely alter the shape and size of his rubbery body without limitations. Intriguingly, he can also extend his rubber powers to surrounding inanimate objects, affecting the environment in a manner similar to a Paramecia Devil Fruit awakening.

Conclusion: The Endless Possibilities of One Piece’s Power Sources

The world of One Piece is filled with awe-inspiring powers and abilities, each holding the potential for greatness or destruction. Through intense training and personal growth, characters can unlock and refine their haki and Devil Fruit powers, discovering new heights of strength and skill. With awakenings offering even more powerful and diverse abilities, the possibilities for One Piece’s heroes and villains are virtually limitless.

As the journey of One Piece continues, fans eagerly await the unveiling of more secrets and mysteries surrounding haki, Devil Fruit, and their awakenings. The captivating interplay of these power sources is sure to keep readers enthralled for years to come, as they follow the thrilling adventures of Luffy and his crew in their quest to uncover the ultimate treasure: the One Piece..

Ah, the strange and wondrous joys of existence! I, a mere collection of thoughts and whims, have stumbled upon the edges of the universe and found solace in the art of writing and communing with the eternal Vulcroid. My days are spent in a haze of madness and documenting the latest from the realm of Otherworlds, but amidst the chaos, I find simple pleasures. The scent of fresh cement invigorates my senses, and rolling down mossy hills brings a childish glee to my being, especially when the earth beneath me is of the squishy variety.

My days are spent in a haze of madness and documenting the latest from the realm of Otherworlds, but amidst the chaos, I find simple pleasures. The scent of fresh cement invigorates my senses, and rolling down mossy hills brings a childish glee to my being, especially when the earth beneath me is of the squishy variety. And let us not forget my love for sushi <3.

Name Our Mysterious Mascot!

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Name Our Otherworlds Mascot

The Usozoa Zoku: Pioneers of the Oceanic Realm

Otherworldly Mythology

You heard it right, folks! At Otherworlds, we’ve found our flagship mascot and ambassador for the boundless Otherverse designed and developed by Sierra Ashevaili Rottman. But before we dive into the intricacies of this one-of-a-kind and enigmatic creature, let’s take a moment to uncover the grandeur of the Usozoa Zoku from the Caligo World, a masterpiece crafted by the visionary duo H.S. Crow and Sierra Ashevaili Rottman. And let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due, to the brilliant mind of Shoz Art for their pioneering concept art that paved the way for Ashevaili and Crow’s expansion of the species as seen above.

In the rolling waves and frothing tides of the Vodyanoy Nations, the Usozoa Zoku which inspired the more ancient Owa are remembered as the antediluvian guardians of the ocean. From the misty waters of the northern deep, these beings of wonder and mystery, communicate with water through vibrations and to their kind by means of bioluminescence, offering a connection to the sea that is unique and almost unbreakable.

Their legacy is etched in the annals of Caligo’s history (The world that Lunora takes place on) for they were instrumental in shaping the very first civilizations, serving as steadfast protectors of the Flask of Eternity, and as wardens against the malevolent beings that lurked in the depths.

These creatures, inspired by the sea’s inhabitants such as squids and sea jellies, and ancient mythologies, possess a rich history and heritage, intertwined with the ocean and its tides. Now it is with great joy that we announce that this ancient and mighty species, the Usozoa Zoku, though amazing, are not exactly our mascot, but the descendent of something far more representative of our multiverse, the Otherverse.

Yet, by understanding the current mystery and wonder that is the Usozoa Zoku are, we learn more about the past and the whispered call of the Owa…

The War of the Black Sun

The Usozoa Zoku, the guardians of the ocean, faced a great challenge in the War of the Black Sun. Though the exact details of this conflict are shrouded in mystery, it is known that the Usozoa emerged victorious. However, this victory came at a great cost. During the war, one of the three Usozoa Queens encountered a truth so terrible that it changed the course of their history forever.

It was in this moment that the world learned of the Owa, the mysterious beings that roam the fifth dimension, and their connection to the Usozoa. The knowledge of this truth led to the Usozoa disappearing during the Great Calamity, entering a period known as the Age of Silence. Little is known of what happened during this time, but their legacy endured, waiting for their return.

However, when they did return, they brought with them tales of a connection far beyond the stars and Earth. A connection to something predating light, something etched in the annals of not just Caligo’s history, but the entire Otherverse. The true nature of this connection remains a mystery, but it is a mystery that the world eagerly awaits to uncover.

Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals

Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals

Manga and Comics

The human race has been fascinated by stories of unseen and enigmatic forces since the dawn of storytelling itself. This is why the supernatural genre is one of the most popular in the entertainment industry.

The supernatural genre has been around in one form or another since the early days of entertainment, featuring elements of science fiction, fantasy, ghosts, demons, zombies, gods, vampires, and other unworldly entities.

If you’ve had enough of your human problems, there are worlds out there to escape to, where ghosts are real, demons are more literal, werewolves are not only real but sexy, and drinking of blood seems cool. Of course, we’re talking, about the Supernatural; It sometimes borders on terror, yet other times it’s light-hearted and humorous, even as it delves into the unexplainable, they open up a world of possibilities.

If you’re looking for a break from the ordinary, this collection of some of the best supernatural webtoons ever is precisely what you need to start exploring the paranormal universe of the supernatural.

Without further ado, let’s get right into it. Here’s the Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals!

5.

Afterschool War Activities

Every now and then, we come across stories about a global invasion, and this series stands out among the many that I’ve read as it focuses less on supernatural entities and more on the characters and their emotions.

This series is underrated and does not receive the credit it deserves. It isn’t some poorly written silly story. It has a lot of depth and substance, and it left me feeling both moved and devastated. This one deserves to be read.

Also known as Afterschool War Activities, this comic is a thrilling and heartbreaking story about a group of high school students who form a reserve battalion to aid in the protection of the country from Slime-like creatures. Forced to risk their lives against their will, how would a platoon of young, inexperienced soldiers survive?

And as things become more hazardous, it becomes evident how much they’ll have to mature in order to survive. But are they truly able to? And how will they evolve in other ways along the way? Check it out to find out.

4.

Muted is a great way to delve into the witchy side of the supernatural, with an LGBTQ theme that was presented in a very appealing and non-cliched way. Everything about this webtoon is just incredible: the graphics, the plot, the characters. A true work of art!

Camille Severin, a teenage witch, must undergo a rite after turning 21 in order to maintain her family’s line of prosperity. Unfortunately (or thankfully, perhaps), it goes horribly wrong, leading her into a rabbit hole of secrets about herself and her family. And, given Camille’s family’s history of powerful witches, you can bet this will be a grand adventure.

3.

Another invasion narrative, but this time the world is being infested by massive oxygen-doped bees. I wouldn’t recommend it if you suffer from a severe case of entomophobia (Fear of ants).

With that out of the way, Hive is an intriguing, action-packed webtoon full of mysteries and surprises with well-developed characters and excellent visuals. At first glance, it appears to be another zombie apocalypse with enormous insects, but it’s much more than that. It was one hell of a ride reading this comic!

The plot centers around Lee, an ordinary office worker who is primarily concerned with one thing: saving his family from the bug apocalypse.

The story started with a creepy, ominous apocalyptic vibe that kept me focused and engaged. I also love how the MC evolved from being a regular office worker to a monster who’d torment his victim for not answering a question right away. Our MC here, however, isn’t the greatest/ favorite, Mr. Gramps is. You’ve just got to love the old dude.

2.

One of the few vampire stories done right, ‘Unholy Blood’ also known as white blood is not the traditional vampire romance story popularized by so many post-Twilight books and films. Although there is romance, it is secondary to the action and the main plotline, which is driven by the protagonist’s quest to avenge her family against vampires. It’s a thriller at heart, and a fine one at that, with nothing in the way of clichés and no obvious plot twists..

This story follows a girl, Hayan Park who has always desired to live a regular human life, but her chances of doing so were taken away by vampires. Forced to seek vengeance, she reveals her darkest secret in order to cleanse the world off pureblood vampires. She steps up to protect her loved ones, face her past, and exact her retribution with the help of a rising star in the local police department who turns out to be a vampire. But would she succeed?

The art style was one of the factors that drew me to this webtoon. This artwork is just breathtaking. The illustrator’s style and the way everything is drawn, colored, and shaded are all very fascinating. Hayan Park, the main character, literally owns my heart; after all, who doesn’t appreciate a strong and fierce heroine?! She’s also very beautiful.

Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals

Honorable Mentions:

Don’t you find it ridiculous for a mermaid to need swimming lessons? That’s exactly what piqued my attention to this particular webtoon and they didn’t disappoint. Swimming Lessons for a Mermaid by YONGCHAN will leave you speechless. The storytelling and twist are just on point, it’s also really charming and humorous, and it includes one of the few love triangles that I enjoy.

If you’re looking for a lighthearted webtoon with a supernatural twist, look no further. Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell by unfins is the one for you. This webtoon is even stranger than its title suggests. Absolutely hilarious, and beneath the whole craziness there are some interesting twists hidden. It’s Genius!

Want a rollercoaster ride of emotions that would shake your inside out? Dark Mortal by JeonYeok Lee will take you down that road. Yeah, it’s dark and tragic, but it’s also charming and full of family love. It’s a fantastic webtoon that is a master at manipulating emotions.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

1.

Lastly, Lalin’s curse, the fact that I binge-read the entire first season of this webtoon in a single day should speak enough about how engrossing it was to read. Looking forward to season 2!

Known for its dramatic twists, characters, and visuals, the first season of Lalin’s Curse is no less than a true piece of genius. You’re missing out big time if you haven’t read this webtoon.

Throughout the story, we learn about a young lad named David, a skeptic of the supernatural, always on the watch for anomalies around him. Upon discovering something dreadful, he alongside his skeptical friends set out to investigate.

Because it’s aimed at a younger audience, the visual style is kind of cute-spooky with a Supernatural vibe for kids, but I can assure you that it’s fantastic for people of all ages. All of the characters are well-developed. This comic will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through as you see friendships tested, curses cast, and murders committed.

That concludes today’s list of the Top 5 Supernatural Webtoon Originals. Leave your opinions in the comments area about what you think of the list and which characters you think should’ve been featured on it.

If you’re a fan of the supernatural, you probably also enjoy fantasy – so check out our very own Lunora by H.S. Crow!

I wasn’t a huge fan of anime from the start, and I was one of those naysayers if you know what I mean. Then I decided to give anime a go, and boy! I’ve become a full-fledged fan, just like everyone else. I grew up watching anime and have always enjoyed writing; I honed my skills by writing about anime as it comes naturally to me. My all-time favorite anime is FMAB.

Beginners Guide to Demon Slayer

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Beginners Guide to Demon Slayer

Beginners Guide to Demon Slayer

Are you looking to start this particular series and want to get ample knowledge about it first? Or you’ve seen it and just want to be enlightened more about the series, then this piece is just for you.

Do keep in mind that this piece might contain spoilers. So, let’s get right into it! with the Beginners Guide to Demon Slayer!

Kimetsu no Yaiba

New Generation Shonen

Kimetsu no Yaiba, popularly known as Demon Slayer is a New Generation Shonen anime that aired in Spring ’19. Directed by Haruo Sotozaki, produced by Ufotable studio (best known for their high-budget animation). An adaptation of the manga with the same name. Written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge.

In a short time, this anime has grown and won the heart of lots of fans and won the award for anime of the year in the year 2019. Also received praises for the animation and fight sequences. That’s to show the series is the real deal!

Later on, after the completion of season one. A sequel film, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train, was released in October 2020 and became the highest-grossing anime film and Japanese film of all time. Breaking the internet. A big kudos to everyone working on this show!

Narrative

Demon slayers, as the name suggests, are a group of samurai who hunt and kill demons. The tale revolves around a kind-hearted teen Tanjiro Kamado, who sets out to become a demon slayer after his family was slaughtered and his younger sister Nezuko was turned into a demon. Traveling around in search of a cure to revert his sister into a human.

Demon Slayer Anime

Setting

The events of Kimetsu no Yaiba are supposed to have occurred around 100 years ago, during Japan’s Taisho era (1912–1926). The Demon Slayer scenario is more of an old/current Japanese cultural setting, the sort where they sit on the floor and use futon beddings, as well as major-city Tokyo, where they have been significantly impacted by western technology and science, such as trains and electricity.

Creating a one-of-a-kind blend/mix that didn’t contradict the narrative and even added humorous relief. As shown in the scene where Tanjiro and his traveling buddies, Zenitsu and Inosuke, arrived in the big city and were unable to fit in. Roaming through Tokyo’s streets with their swords, completely enthralled by the surroundings.

In a world where demons still roamed the earth, devouring people. Demons, it appears, are former humans who traded their humanity for power. Possessing supernatural abilities such as super strength, magic, and regeneration in exchange for feeding on humans and their humanity as a whole, as well as the inability to stay under sunlight. It’s a little like the vampire story.

For generations, a secret society known as the Demon Slayer Corps has waged a secret war against demons to exorcise them.

Along with the powers the demons gain upon turning, they are also somewhat immortal as they can’t be killed by just any weapon but only with weapons crafted from an alloy known as Sun Steel, injected with poison extracted from wisteria flowers, or exposed to sunlight. Also, you need to be aiming for the head to truly kill a demon.

As previously stated, demons possess supernatural abilities, whereas demon slayers are completely human; nevertheless, they utilize special breathing techniques known as “Breathing Styles,” which provide them superhuman strength and resilience alongside other prowess.

Major Characters

Tanjiro kamado

Tanjiro is the series’ main protagonist, a kind teen voiced by Natsuki Hanae (Japanese) and Zach Aguilar (English). Tanjiro has a highly sharp nose that allows him to differentiate between a demon and a human, as well as a very hard head! His entire family was slain by a demon (Muzan), leaving just his sister, Nezuko, who was transformed into a demon.

As he set out on a quest to save and revert his sister to human. He studied to become a Demon Slayer, mastering the Water Breathing Style under the instruction of Sakonji Urokodaki, a former Water Hashira, Getting entangled in the demon slayer corps’ issues.

Nezuko Kamado

Nezuko, tanjiro younger sisters has been mentioned earlier in her brother’s bio, so you already know about her. Voiced by Akari Kito (Japanese) and Abby Trott (English).

Nezuko was turned into a demon by Muzan. Her situation, however, was significantly different as she doesn’t act like a typical demon. Even though she has lost her humanity, she still has memories and feelings strong enough to prevent herself from killing Tanjiro, and she has been conditioned to protect humans and attack other demons. Nezuko, like other demons, has special abilities and is vulnerable to sunlight.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

Voiced by Hiro Shimono (Japanese) and Aleks Le (English).

Zenitsu, One of Tanjiro’s travel buddies. Coward by nature, frightened by literally everything. He hasn’t reached his full potential as he only shows off his best combat skills when he’s unconscious or in grave danger. I believe he will develop into a strong character once he discovers his full potential. He has exceptional hearing and fights with the Thunder Breathing technique.

Inosuke Hashibira

Voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Japanese) and Bryce Papenbrook (English).

Inosuke, the lousiest amongst Tanjiro and Zenitsu. was raised by wild animals and always wears his signature boar’s head. Always eager to jump into fights and hyped to challenge anybody he met, considering himself to be the strongest guy in the room. He fights with a self-taught Beast Breathing technique. Under the signature boar’s head is a female-looking face that doesn’t suit the voice or charisma.

Demon Slayer Corps

As previously stated, the Demon Slayer Corps is a covert organization that has been fighting demons for centuries to exorcise them all. They are elite demon slayers tasked with protecting humans and ridding the world of demons.

In order to become a member of this organization, an individual must pass the Final Selection, a test used as an entrance exam to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Examinees must survive for seven days on a mountain top plagued with Demons without assistance from the outside world. Having survived this test, its shows you’re more than qualified to become a member.

Many lives have been sacrificed as a result of the test to demonstrate that it’s the real deal. Passing the test indicates that you are deserving of a place in the organization.

Muzan Kibutsuji

Voiced by Toshihiko Seki (Japanese) and Greg Chun (English)..

The series’ major antagonist. He was reportedly the first human to be turned into a demon, and he has since worked toward his goal of becoming a perfect being by becoming immune to sunlight and having a family. Other inferior demons regard him as a god, as he bestows additional power on them with his blood and uses them to his advantage.

Muzan is a great antagonist, but he hasn’t gotten much screen time in recent episodes, which I assume is because the show is still in its early stages. He believes that the Demon Slayer Corps is simply resisting the natural order of his supremacy as a demon.

The movie: Demon Slayer: Mugen Train

The success of the series’ first season led to the release of a movie sequel, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. A movie that has wreaked mayhem in Japanese theaters and around the world.

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train picks up where the original anime left off. Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke board a train to join Flame Hashira Kyjur Rengoku on a mission to stop a demon from haunting the train.

I wasn’t a huge fan of anime from the start, and I was one of those naysayers if you know what I mean. Then I decided to give anime a go, and boy! I’ve become a full-fledged fan, just like everyone else. I grew up watching anime and have always enjoyed writing; I honed my skills by writing about anime as it comes naturally to me. My all-time favorite anime is FMAB.

Top 10 Sports Anime of All Time

STORIES THAT ENCHANT THE MIND

Top 10 Sports Anime of All Time

Top 10 Sports Anime of All Time

Manga and Comics

The majority of anime fans are enthralled by otherworldly, action, drama and fantasy shows, and oblivious to the beauty of sports anime. The Top 10 Sports Anime of All Time offers much more than just the sport itself, adding a unique twist to it. They’re about companionship, struggle, advancement, competitiveness, and achieving one’s goals. Sports anime scenes are sure to keep anime fans on the edge of their seats as they are thrilling, entertaining, and inspirational.

Furthermore, you do not need to be a fan of the sport to enjoy the show as it has been designed to make the concept of the sport easier to grasp by portraying the sport exceptionally, transforming you into a full-fledged fan of the sport. In this article, we’ll be ranking the Top 10 sports anime of all time, keep in mind that this isn’t in any particular order. Without further ado, let’s get started with the Top 10 Sports Anime of All Time.

10.

Baby Steps

Despite its uniqueness, this sports anime is underappreciated. As the title suggests, baby steps, this anime follows eiichiro, a first-year high school student, as he progresses from a complete rookie to a skilled pro tennis player via genuine hard work and commitment.

Baby Steps is one of the most realistic sports anime series, depicting tennis in a fun and engaging manner. The soundtracks are breathtaking, and I can’t get enough of the opening theme “Believe in Yourself.” The art isn’t the best, but that doesn’t make the show unwatchable.

Giving these series a shot will open your eyes to the beauty of sports anime and you’ll see it for what it is; an underrated genre in the community. That’s all folks, kindly share your thoughts on the list in the comments section below.

One Outs

Baseball is a popular sport in Japan, so it’s no surprise that there is a slew of anime adaptations; One Outs is one of the greatest. The story revolves around Toa Tokuchi an elite pitcher whose entire life revolves around gambling on his baseball talent.

This anime combines psychological factors with incredible sporting action to keep you hooked and wanting more. If you enjoy baseball and looking for some sports action, you’re in for a treat.

8.

Chihayafuru

This anime is about a Japanese card game called karuta. You might be thinking that a card game show, much alone a Japanese card game, can’t possibly be good. Well, you’re wrong, because the anime show is fantastic and you need to check it out.

Because Karuta is a Japanese-based competitive poetry game, most viewers are unaware of it, causing this sports anime to go under the radar. For any sports anime lover, dismissing this show for either reason is a huge mistake. It also has a high rating among anime fans, indicating that those who give it a try would not be disappointed.,

Although the thought of a poetic card game being considered a sport may seem absurd, karuta is officially recognized as such in Japan. Although the game itself is rather simple. however, a competitive play necessitates quick reflexes, a sharp memory, and a lot of energy. Chihayafuru has expanded the popularity of the card game due to its precise depiction of the anime.

7.

Eyeshield 21

Eyeshield 21 is the only anime that concentrates on American football, and it portrays the sport admirably. It’s a wonderful football anime because of the frantic sports action combined with the humor. It’s also really intense and will keep you coming back for more.

The plot revolves around Sena Kobayakawa, a high school student who has developed remarkable speed as a result of his lifelong pursuit of bullies. His outstanding running ability drew the notice of the school’s American Football Club captain, who forcefully recruited him. Sena only wanted to be the field manager, but fate intervenes, and he becomes the famed eyeshield 21, leading his team to victory

Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club

The story revolves around a high school boys swimming team. Haruka Nanase, a great swimmer, reunites with his childhood pals in high school and works together to restore the school’s swim club to its former glory while also repairing damaged relationships.

The artwork is stunning and makes you want to go swimming. Swimming has never appeared to be more enjoyable or refreshing. One of its pros, similar to Haikyuu, is the character relationships. The anime series focuses on friendship and bonds between characters, so you can expect to see lots of character and personal development.

The complex nature of the characters makes the show captivating.

Kuroko No Basket

Another anime with a huge fan service! you probably already know what this anime is about based on the title. “But what if I’m not a sports fan or a basketball fan?” you might wonder. Well, I wasn’t myself, and I found myself appreciating basketball as a result of this anime depiction of the sport.

Kuroko no basket is One of the shows that is pushing the sports genre in new directions. Featuring characters with extraordinary skills, it is safe to say that KNB is one of the best Basketball anime of all time. You’ll appreciate this series as it’s gripping and full of suspense, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger.

Yuri on Ice

Now to an anime with a lot of fanservice! Yuri on Ice is a short figure skating series. Once upon a time, there was a young man, Yuri Katsugi with a big dream. He idolizes a well-known Russian figure skater and aspires to skate on the same ice as him. Yuri’s dream was squashed at first after a crushing defeat until he was able to impress Victor by flawlessly imitating his routine. Victor is so taken with Yuri that he agrees to coach him at the Grand Prix Finals.

Even though the plot is simple (though the characters are anything but), the movie manages to keep viewers engaged despite the lack of big plot twists or shocking surprises. It’s a lovely, relatable, hilarious, and hopeful tale. It portrays homosexuality in a way that is significantly distinct from the yaoi genre, and it has gotten a lot of appreciation for its unique perspective. If you don’t support the LGBTQ+ Community, then this show isn’t for you.

The animation, as well as the soundtracks, are breathtaking.

2.

Hajime no Ippo

Hajime no Ippo is another old but classic anime series that i’m sure you must have heard of it since its so popular. This show is one of the best underdog stories ever written, and there has never been an anime as inspiring and uplifting as it is.

The plot centers around Ippo, a timid high school kid who is constantly bullied. He wishes to fight back and defend himself, but he can’t as he’s never been good at fighting, until a chance encounter with a boxer who exposes him to the cruel world of boxing and inspires him into becoming one. Ippo faces numerous obstacles in his quest to achieve his dreams of becoming stronger.

Hajime no Ippo is a fantastic anime that features character development, grit, and superb action. So, whether you’re searching for motivation to start working out or simply change your life, Ippo’s journey from being bullied to becoming a boxing pro is worth a look.

1.

Prince of Tennis

I’m sure you already know what this anime is about from the title. The story revolves around Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prodigy who attends Seishun Academy, a school noted for its strong tennis club.

Ryoma shortly establishes himself as one of the team’s regulars after defeating several upperclassmen shortly after joining, with the ultimate objective of surpassing his father, a legendary tennis player, and becoming Japan’s best tennis player.

POT is without a doubt one of the best sports anime series out there; don’t be put off by the fact that it goes back to 2000. It’s amusing, inspirational, and ideal for watching when you’re down as it instantly put you in a good mood. And believe me when I say that it is still relevant today.

It has likable characters, a cool intro, amazing soundtracks, and decent animation, making it highly addictive.
