A Crunchyroll Sports Anime For Everyone
Paris will host the 2024 Olympics, starting on Friday the 26th of July, and ending on Sunday the 11th of August. To pay tribute to the various sports included, Crunchyroll has made a variety of sports anime available to stream for free, offering something for everyone.
For fans of sports typically played on the court, there is a large line-up to choose from. Haikyu! is a volleyball anime, focusing on different characters and their friendships, and how they navigate their school and sports life. Kuroko’s Basketball is similar, however, it focuses on basketball instead. There is also Blue Lock, which features three hundred high-school players competing to become Japan’s national team’s next striker.
For those who are interested in more non-traditional sports, WAVE!! -Let’s Go Surfing – is a surfing-inspired anime. There is also Sk8 The Infinity, which focuses on a character called Reki Kyan who starts to learn how to skateboard, and the friends he makes along the way. For something even more un-traditional, Ping Pong The Animation features competitive games of table tennis.
That’s not all. Re-Main follows Minato Kiyomizu, a boy who quits playing water polo after an accident but decides to try again and joins his school’s team with his friends. Tsurune offers a light-hearted and easy watch for fans of archery, while Run With The Wind is about long-distance running, and is more fast-paced with higher stakes.
Finally, there is Birdie Wing: Golf Girls’ Story. This is a golf anime, but has a dramatic twist to keep fans hooked and engaged.
These anime will be available to watch without a paid subscription on the official Crunchyroll website and app. Once the Olympics have ended, you must pay a monthly fee (price depending on your tier subscription) to watch the shows.
