Q. Why does Viz Media bother to file copyright claims over anime they didn’t dub themselves nor create? Everyone in the know knows that fansubs and fandubs keep the fandom alive and kicking after decades.
A. Like I said here https://generaltsotters.tumblr.com/post/185292766752/q-have-you-ever-lied-or-stolen-anything-you, if you knew about the MIEC’s trafficking ops, then you’d NGAF. Two way streets.
Anyways... this is my post for Day #1 of fysportsanime’s Challenge Week.
Even though technically, it was Speed Racer back in the early 80s that was my first sports anime, Super Campeones (a.k.a. Captain Tsubasa) was the first sports anime that I was really into a lot. I found it on a South Florida TV station while channel surfing back in the early 90s and I’d religiously tune in whenever I could early in the AM, including tuning in on mini portable TV on the short road trip to school and my lil-est brother was also there to see, so it was fun times. I was in my 2nd year (of five total) of Spanish I think, so yeah, it was fun times to learn the language as the drama unfolded. All of my brothers were on the school soccer team (I’m the only gal in the middle with four brothers), so that’s part of my interest in it, but like many otaku, I’m not super sporty or actually into the sport at all. Betcha five cents that a non sporty anime fan who has never seen this anime will become a new fan with this flashback ep (#126):
fysachallengeweek - Day 1
» First sports anime you watched/manga you read
"I am a supporting actor, a shadow. But a shadow will become darker if the light is stronger and it will make the white of the light stand out. As the shadow of the main actor, I will make you, the light, the number one in Japan."
- Kuroko Tetsuya
Kuroko no Basket was my first sports themed manga. I have never liked anything sports related so I had no desire to watch or read from the sports genre before; then knb happened... this series holds special memories for me and continues to be number 1 in my heart~ It is truly something when a series turns 10 years old and you can proudly proclaim that you are still attached to it after all this time!

FYSPORTSANIME Challenge Week Day 1: first sports anime you watched -- Haikyuu!! by Haruichi Furudate
This was the anime that started it all for me, so it’s only fitting that the scene I featured was the one that started Hinata on his volleyball journey. This anime/manga is one of my absolute favorites for its storyline, characters, relationships, and character development.
