SK8 The Infinity

SK8 The Infinity is a sports-themed anime that is expected by many viewers. The anime adaptation of the Code Geass writer’s work of the same name is a highly entertaining story. The two main characters have extremely lovable personalities. In addition, the supporting characters contribute to the drama of this anime.

Reki and Langa – the two main characters of SK8 are the 2 main characters of the movie. Their cute actions are not at all the jealousy and anger of adolescence and not the old-fashioned rivalry. Reki and Langa share a love of skateboarding and both sincerely support each other’s efforts. Reki’s unwavering enthusiasm and Langa’s quiet stubbornness complement each other perfectly.

Skate – Leading Star

Since Skate-Leading Star’s anime is less focused on sports, the only thing that makes this anime interesting is the exploration of its various character relationships. Compared to SK8’s new supportive friendship, the top star in figure skating has more competition. Kensai, the main character of the series seems to have a rivalry with Reo. However, because Reo is described as being very silly, there is a lot of laughter in the anime.

The more interesting rivalry in this anime is between Kensai and Itsuki Kiriyama – the vice-captain of his team. Itsuki resented Kensai for quitting figure skating because he knew Kensai was wasting his talent. Itsuki is also the only one to say that he likes Kensai’s skating. It was clear that Itsuki really appreciated Kensai’s talent, but his personality kept him from admitting it.

Wave!! Surfing Yappe!!

Wave Surfing Yappe - SK8 the Infinity Store

Wave!! Surfing Yappe!! As the anime with the least fanfare of the four sports anime in 2021 that we want to introduce to the audience. One day, the main character Masaki Hinaoka sees surfer Shou Akitsuki’s beautiful surfing pose and immediately falls in love with surfing. The footage lingers on Shou’s face and Masaki’s inner dialogue claims that he fell in love at first sight when he saw Shou.

Throughout the first two episodes, Masaki blushes whenever she sees Shou, now motivated to learn how to surf like him despite not being able to swim and previously having no interest in surfing.

As this anime dives deeper into surfing, it makes the audience feel more engaging and the characters more relatable. The friendship depicted in Wave!! Surfing Yappe!! almost serious and like in SK8. Although Masaki and Shou’s relationship still hasn’t developed, it is a beautiful friendship especially in the “above friendship under love” style that is appealing to the audience.
