Hmm interesting. Just wanted to chime in as somewhat of an anime watcher. Wouldn't have thought that topic come up on a cycling forum lol! I've never really watched a sports anime though, mainly just what is on Netflix. Getting into anime a bit later in life my tastes are rather narrow. A few comments above have me thinking this is a comedy type with some silly stuff in it. Generally I don't like comedy or silly stuff, and don't get too turned on by anime about real life kind of things. I'd much rather watch sci-fi and fantasy if I am to be entertained. But if I can find this one I might give it a shot, I'm not entirely opposed to such anime. My favorites are shows like Ghost in the Shell, and Claymore, fwiw.
Some other forums I use anime avatars actually, like this one of my favorite anime/manga character Clare...
