Sports anime has been a major genre in the anime community, with titles like Kuroko no Basket, Haikyuu, and Free being some of the most popular sports titles in anime, even well-known with non-anime watchers.

Overall it's a worth anime to watch, not very long and really instructive, informative and entertaining, you ...
