Sports anime and manga occupy an incredibly interesting space in the genre. Often it comes to the table with all the intensity and over-the-top emotion of battle manga while doing something that is, in the grand scheme of things, relatively mundane. High school sports, while all-consuming in the moment, are very rarely portrayed in Western media as being the "be all end all" that they are in manga. Events that are nowhere near life or death are treated as if they are, and it manages to work. Many lovers of the genre know that a good sports anime will take them on a wild journey from start to finish.
