I love watching characters grow and overcome challenges, especially in a team setting. Any recommendations for sports anime that really shine in showing character arcs, friendships, and the struggles of competition? Not just about the sport itself!

Haikyuu!! is the gold standard for this. Every character gets their moment, and the team dynamics are just chef's kiss. You'll root for everyone! 🏐
Kuroko's Basketball also does a great job with character arcs and rivals. The 'Generation of Miracles' all have unique developments.
Run with the Wind! A truly inspiring story about a university track team. The personal growth of each runner is deeply moving. Highly recommend!
Ace of Diamond is amazing for its deep dive into baseball and its characters. Sawamura's journey is super compelling.
Chihayafuru, even though it's card game karuta, it's definitely a sports anime in spirit with incredible character development and intense competition!
