Hiking.

I want an anime based on hiking.

The first 3 episodes would be all smiles, the next 3 the starting of the characters hiking some tall mountain in a harsh mountain and the last 6 episodes would be suspsense.

Food and water start running short, they get lost when they were about to hit the summit.

Have a serious argument about wheter to keep going or go back. In this intense argument, one character falls from a cliff and dies.

Later on, someone else dies from hipothermia.

Maybe some 2 other people should die.

The last survivor, the MC, cuts off his entire left arm due to frost bite and is forced to eat the remnants of his older sister to survive.

Eventually she makes it and the anime ends with her crawling in direction of a nearby village. As she fades away, natives come to her, asking if she's ok, putting water in her mouth, etc, and then the credits roll.

There is no market for Dota in Japan, the entire country has a player count in hundreds last I heard.
Although there is one Japanese commentator who is fucking hilarious and makes amazing graphics + does some Engrish for the western homies.

LoL will probably do better there if Riot goes hard on the Chinese marketing bux because cute girls + buying skins + casual friendly but even then I'm doubtful. Japan has never really had a market for PC esports.

Yea I do. At my school I've seen people of all ages and sizes join. And I've seen a lot of people quit. If you have an interest in it, go for it, but you have to be determined. This is not an easy sport, especially if you want to do tournaments later on. Of course if you want to do it just for exercise, I can say for sure you'll sweat and have a fun time if you make friends. Watch some videos and see if you really like it. You have to be determined.

I don't fence anymore but I can tell you when I stated in my mid teens I was incredibly unfit and did not stay that way for long. Fencing has huge emphasis on footwork, the exercise you do to strengthen that is cardio on fucking steroids, but way more enjoyable than anything else I've ever done.

I'm a runty little bastard so it was tough to get into other sports, but Fencing has such an emphasis on footwork and point control that I was actually pretty good at it.

Let's be clear here, Haikyuu isn't even in the same universe as KnB. Haikyuu is like most sports anime where perhaps they take the sport a little too seriously, but Kuroko is basically a battle shounen in sports anime form.

High Jump/Pole Vault.

You have multiple tries, so you can easily build drama by failing once or twice. It should be fairly easy to draw jumps exciting. Works in a professional setting or if you have to high school/college. You can have male + female cast. It's easy to understand so everyone can follow the rules without ever getting confused.
A lot of people even experienced high jump during their own school time.

I guess it works better as a manga than as anime but you could still show the same jump from different angles in slow mo to fill enough airing time for animes.

I don't see why Japanese people would be interested in LoL's girls when they have domestically produced shit that is better. LoL is a game designed to appeal to weebs, not actual Japanese people.

Sports where the action is in bursts and is more contained work the best, if only because budget constraints make it difficult to produce sports with continuous play without minutes on end of face close-ups, exposition by people on the sidelines and awkward pacing when the action is being shown for more than a few seconds.

>I wouldn't say many of those things imitate anime at all.
They're directly quoting Japanese games and anime all the time. Not to mention shows like Stephen Universe and Avatar which are such blatant anime clones. And of course, pretty much all of them are done by Korean/Japanese studios.

But overlooking TV series, League of Legends directly references Japanese content. All their characters are parodies of things. Sometimes western memes (Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom) or Japanese characters (Bowser). Some Japanese people will get the references and like it.

Something like The Lion King or Atlantis is not a reference. Its blatant copying. And Disney stuff routinely breaks box office records in Japan. Topped only by Miyazaki films (which is exactly what Disney rips off the most).
>>
>>139222450
Referencing does not imply imitation nor does it mean it is going to be noticed in Japan, even if it is produced by them. I know for a fact that Avatar was not popular in Japan at all, but you mentioned it. I feel like we're arguing different points.

I used to fence back in high school. It is actually kind of difficult to do well if you are unfit. I'm going to assume unfit = fat here.

If this is the case, your success is limited to your foil work and defense. Since your offense relies heavily on speed and footwork. It becomes hard for you to lunge and recover from lunges efficiently if you are overweight and/or have poor balance.

If your definition of unfit is that you're skinny, then its actually not bad to pick up fencing.

Teemo was one of the earliest League characters. So its been at least 5-6 years. But even then, the character was introduced well after the meme died.
