For me, there are two things that are incredibly shallow but without which I cannot enjoy a sports anime:

1) Good art - I like the HQ anime and love Free, not into Yowapeda at all. The art in the pics you posted looks excruciatingly 90s, and so doesn't interest me.

2) Lots and lots of slash fanservice - See again: HQ and Free!, and from what I gather Yowapeda too. I can't speak for the older series you mentioned, but if I can't get my exciting sports arcs AND a healthy smothering of homoeroticism, it's not going to tickle my fancy.

Congratulations, you're the cancer killing sports manga/anime!

Poor anon :(, I smell trolling with the art comment but I'll play:

1) Plenty of older sports manga actually had gay characters. I remember one popular baseball one from 80s but can't find the title at the moment. There had been a boxing one as well.

2) My fav would forever be Captain Tsubasa, it had plenty of subtext, however character design hadn't been that nice (action scenes were).

3) Never read that but I recall Prince of Tennis being popular for the reasons you like, started in 1999, had nice art and fan service.

I never tried Free because I had been a swimmer and um ... it looks very ... "kawaii, sparkly, swimmy, lol" ... un-sporty.

I'd call Free a sports slice of life show. It's unfortunate that the pretty art style puts some people off.

SA as above. LACK OF NIPPLES! Odd swimsuits (most swimmers dress according to activity - here, everyone uses different outfits!), lack of bulges D: .

[(Anonymous)]

I have actually heard from competetive swimmers I'm friends with that the swimming animations in Free! are very, very well done. So even though it's all fanservicy and sparkly, it apparently has more "real sport" than all those weird special attack nonsense a lot of sports anime have. (And which Haikyuu!! brilliantly lampshades.)

[(Anonymous)]

What slash fanservice in Haikyuu?? Were you watching a different show than me?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Okiedokie... Uhm... Slam Dunk is not very homoerotic, Rookies is, it has guys accidentally kissing and deep speeches about opening your heart... Idk where I'm going with this
