i didn't know we were all using subject lines
Marks, marksy, or marksykins are all fine. Occasionally people call me Marty, and that’s also fine. I use she/her pronouns!
What got you into sports anime?
I was bored many years ago and a lot of my friends got into Prince of Tennis all at once.
What do you love about your favorite sports anime?
You say that like I have a favorite! THEY ARE ALL MY FAVORITES. But honestly, it’s always the relationship-building and character growth. I’m not really in it for the sports, though I certainly can hold a conversation about them.
Example conversation from my life:
“Why do you know so much about volleyball?”
“Uhhhh.”
Which sports anime moment got you right in the feels?
This is an extremely abbreviated list:
Prince of Tennis
* Inui stopping Kaidoh from going crazy during the finals at Nationals.
* Kaidoh tying his bandana around Momo’s knee during their Rikkai doubles match.
* Oishi playing Tezuka to be a regular at Nationals, and later when Eiji got mad at Oishi for that.
Yuri!!! on Ice
* Victor’s flashback to last year’s Grand Prix banquet.
* Victor and Yuuri’s ring exchange in front of the church.
* YURIO HAD NEVER BEEN ASKED TO BECOME FRIENDS BEFORE!
* Basically any time Yuri Plisetsky expresses any emotion other than anger.
* Phichit’s ice show.
* Yuuri's GP finals' free skate. I was a sobbing mess.
Haikyuu!!
* UH TSUKISHIMA’S ENTIRE ARC. ALL OF IT. I have many, many Tsukki feels.
* That time Yamaguchi chickens out on his serve and Ennoshita comes to his defense and Tsukishima hands him a towel.
* And when Yamaguchi FINALLY hits his serve during the second Seijoh match. I also have a lot of Yamaguchi feels. Do that very easy math.
* Daichi getting hurt and losing a tooth.
* Whenever Suga gets to be Mr. Refreshing setter during a match.
Slam Dunk
* Kogure telling Mitsui to grow up.
* Basically any time Mitsui hits a three-pointer.
* Any time Yohei waxes poetic over Sakuragi.
Hikaru no Go
* Ugh, literally everything.
Have you found a relatable favorite in a sports anime? Who?
I feel like that photographer lady from Prince of Tennis sometimes.
What series do you find it difficult/easy to make content for? Why?
I’ll give basically everything a go once, but Yuri on Ice has been kind of a puzzle for me, since Yuuri and Victor are so textual and in love. I LOVE it, love love love it and them, but sometimes the plot ideas aren’t there. Prince of Tennis is probably the easiest sports series for me to write for, just because I have so much practice at it.
Similarly, what series do you like to consume content from? Why?
I’m deep into a Haikyuu!! spiral right now because I just finished it last month, but really whatever. I bounce around a lot. Though if someone suddenly wanted to provide me with a ton of new Slam Dunk fic and art, I wouldn’t complain. :D
