Mousi usually in fandom, but i'm one of the 298854374 saras in the world
What got you into sports anime?
I think Prince of Tennis or Hikaru no Go was my first one? Tons of my HP friends moved to PoT and I ended up following.
What do you love about your favorite sports anime?
Right now that'd be either Yuri on Ice or else Haikyuu, but I think in general my favorite animes are always ones where all the guys on the team have a good backstory and are introduced thoroughly enough that you really care about them. It's amazing Yoi made me care about all of them in only 12 eps, usually it takes longer animes for that to happen. I love character growth. Hikaru no Go having Hikaru actually grow up made my entire life.
Which sports anime moment got you right in the feels?
Yoi destroyed me emotionally every week for its whole run. But Yuri esp, his tantrums and frustration, but also his weird friendship overtures to both Yuuri and Otabek. Yuuri and Phichit's best friend flashbacks.
Hikaru no Go can still make me sob at the drop of a hat.
Haikyuu, Tsukshima's character arc in Season 3, and Yamaguchi's in season 2. The moment when Ukai's voice actor switched over (NOOO). How Hinata and Kagayama both want a team to belong to so badly. Sugawara getting to come on the court and play at Nationals. TRAINING CAMP. GYM 3.
Have you found a relatable favorite in a sports anime? Who?
Yuri (Plisetsky) is my favorite in Yoi because I find his inability to connect to people his own age/most people around him entirely relatable, and also the way he covers it up by insisting he doesn't care or getting mad. I also associate heavily with how Kuroo from HQ is clearly the bad choices senpai.
What series do you find it difficult/easy to make content for? Why?
Lately all I can do is write Yoi and I'm not even sure why. It's all I want to do, and I have six stupid slice of life ideas for it a day. That hasn't happened since HP. But I will say that I find Victor/Yuuri hard to write, but it's more like i'm entirely satisfied with what happened so I don't have much to write about it. I do write HQ, but sometimes it's the same, where I like the canon so much that I don't have much I want to fill in myself.
Similarly, what series do you like to consume content from? Why?
I write and consume all the same stuff, basically.
Lastly, let your fellow SASOers know where they can find you if they want to chat with you
