Play ball!
If you like sports, you might be interested in some of these. There’s a little something for everyone, whether you like baseball, soccer, rugby, kickboxing, wrestling, tennis, or even majong. (Yes, majong.) We also cover some of the manga.
After the show, we have our now-standard bonus segment, where we get an update from Kitthawk and talk about the upcoming Archie Comics gender swap issue, with pencils by our pal, Gisele Legace!

Can you type the names of those manga you were talking about in the end? It was hard to make out what you were saying…
So, what happened to Slam Dunk? I know you guys talked about most other sports manga (especially Yawara), but what about basketball manga?
The only other manga/anime that I would also mention is Initial D, which is about drift racing (which many would argue is not a sport). I have not watched all of that anime, but I did like the parts that I watched. I just do not have the budget to own all of the anime that I want to. Otherwise I would have bought all of Urusei Yatsura, and I would also have ordered Yawara when AnimEigo was selling it.
