Sports Anime in Spring 2022 (my thoughts on the first 3 episodes)

here are my unfiltered first impressions of the sports anime for this spring anime season! in hindsight I probably should've given fanfare of adolesence a harsher score outta ten but i'm the type who rarely rates shows with a low score because there are likely some people who might vibe to it out there and it wasn't completely unwatchable like the surfing sports anime i tried watching in the past. therefore in comparison, i didn't speak of it as harshly. (also, i usually work off of vibes rather than numbers when it comes to telling you if a show is worth your time or not).

I'm not a fan of sports anime, usually (unless it comes to masterpieces like Yuri on Ice!! or Sk8 the Infinity). But, tbh, the golfing anime looks pretty good so far and I'm very fond of the idea of women in sports anime since unfortunately, it's not something we see a lot of when it comes to sports anime. I might consider giving it a watch! Also, the horseriding anime definitely does not look like it'd be an *amazing* anime but I find its ridiculous nature (like the protagonist literally *t-posing in front of a running horse* lmao) amusing and funny, and I like the concept of an anime about horse-riding so maybe I'll also watch that at some point:> Side note: I agree, the CGI 3D horses are nightmare-inducing. It's like- Walmart Beastars lmao.

lol your walmart beastars comment has me ded 💀got a genuine laugh outta me 😂 yeah sports anime is not for everyone. i got into it during my highschool years so it's my go-to comfort genre at this point! lol yuri on ice feels so old to my now even tho it wasn't even that long ago??? time flies by so fast 😂 keep in mind i've only watched the first three episodes of these shows so i've got no idea if the golfing anime has good pacing for the plot in the grand scheme of things, but the fact that there is a sports anime with girls as the protagonists definitely has me hopeful there's a possibility for more shows in the future!! i had to make a t-posing joke with how ridiculous that episode was for fanfare of adolescence like the joke practically wrote itself lol

[@casualfandomview]

Honestly Fanfare of Adolescence has a good plot but it's just kind of cringey so it's a little hard to watch. 😭 However, I am really excited for Aoashi. I read the manga and it's probably going to be a big mainstream sports anime.
