Never been into sports anime at all and here I am and my current anime of the season is an anime about children ice skating.

That episode was so emotionally loaded, I was fully and utterly invested and MAN the payoff was so good. Inori just has something about her that makes you want to root for her no matter what.

I don't watch many sports anime. I only am interested in ones that have a big dose of realistic SoL. But so far, by careful pre-screening, I have would up liking/loving all my picks. My sport (more than half a century ago) was "spelling bees" (in which I made it to the top). So competition-related shows do have some nostalgic value.

Please tell me you've watched Tsurune - I feel like that'd be right up your alley with the SoL sports.

Also I remember when you talked about your spelling bee years ago (maybe iirc in the Aquatope discussions) and linked the article/picture about it! Nice!

I liked Tsurune 1 a lot and loved Tsurune 2. ;-) (I even broke down and bought these when they were on sale).
