| '''Art''' plays an important part in the story and has central meaning to the characters (e.g. valuable paintings, or sculptures). Alternately the protagonists show a degree of artistic skill, e.g. as painters, sculptors, dress-makers, potters, musicians, composers, designers, etc. The anime will then centre on the development of those skills, from the unrecognized dilettante stages, right up to the moment of (commercial) breakthrough. | | '''Art''' plays an important part in the story and has central meaning to the characters (e.g. valuable paintings, or sculptures).

| The different subcategories of sports should be used when the anime specifically is about one of those activities:
| |
|
| |
| ===Baseball===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball Baseball] is like a complicated version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounders Rounders]. It involves hitting a ball with a stick, then running around several bases placed in the form of a diamond on a field. Big in the US, and also in Japan.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|241|Touch}}, {{a|2168|Major}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Basketball===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball Basketball] is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netball Netball] for men, the ''real'' game that encourages dribbling and other such uncouth behaviour that was sanitised out of the ladies' version. However, it is itself woozy compared to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulama_game Ulama], as the losing side are seldom publicly sacrificed.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|590|Slam Dunk}}, {{a|430|I'll/CKBC}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Combat===
| |
| '''Combat''' involves a violent conflict with the goal to establish dominance over an opponent.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|2921|Ueki no Housoku}}, {{a|997|Ayane-chan High Kick}}''
| |
|
| |
| ====Boxing====
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing Boxing] involves punching someone until their brains fall out, then challenging them to a rematch. Many boxers survive successfully for years with no central nervous system at all, to the bafflement of medical science.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|1457|Ashita no Joe}}, {{a|129|Hajime no Ippo}}''
| |
|
| |
| ====Judo====
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo Judo] is a frightening sport, in that it's not always the biggest and strongest person who wins. Being thrown flat on your back and forced to submit by girl who's shorter and younger than you is certainly a humbling experience.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|806|Yawara!}}, {{a|766|Kurenai Sanshiro}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Driving===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing Driving] involves driving in a competitive manner. Note that just driving to get groceries does not suffice, unless one does it like Takumi Fujiwara in {{a|135|Initial D}}.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|135|Initial D}}, {{a|55|ex-Driver}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Football===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29 Football] involves kicking a ball in order to score a goal, while the other team tries to stop you by kicking the ball in the other direction to score a goal of their own. Note that this is not American Football.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|1840|Aoki Densetsu Shoot!}}, {{a|612|Hungry Heart - Wild Striker}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Golf===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf Golf] is the most pointless sport ever invented.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|1653|Dan Doh!!}}'', {{a|3167|Progolfer Saru}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Gymnastics===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics Gymnastics] used to just be thought of as an excuse for ogling women in skimpy costumes. However, the march of progress has lead to a great reduction in the mammaries that made this an interesting prospect, leading to a disillusionment with the sport.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|635|Kaleido Star}}, {{a|1347|Shintaisou (Kari) The Animation: Yousei-tachi no Rondo (warning: Hentai)}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Tennis===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis Tennis] is yet another sport involving hitting a ball. Were it not for the copious amounts of grass involved in certain varieties, it seems hard to imagine that people would pay it any attention at all.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|56|Tennis no Ouji-sama}}, {{a|1072|Ace wo Nerae!}}''
| |
|
| |
| ===Volleyball===
| |
| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball Volleyball] is a game best played on sand and half naked. Though it can be played indoors, this loses the magic somehow.
| |
| :''Examples: {{a|2852|Attacker You!}}, {{a|757|Attack No. 1}}''
