FallenAngel626 says...

they are both sports with some boy love and people to ship in them. Sk8 the infinity is still getting released at the moment every week a new episode comes out and yuri on ice is finished with a new movie coming out somtimes and most likely a seond season.

evelynannb says...

I am tired so can't be bothered writing out the several reasons I recommend both these shows. Just watch them.

They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry, and sometimes they make you want to throw your device across the room. What more can you ask for?

maidmelody says...

both sports animes with lovable main characters who struggle with anxiety/self esteem issues. but, overall, very wholesome and full of laughs :) 

sofiavolkova says...

I feel like these two go hand in hand, and someone who likes one would enjoy the other.

Both are sports anime with a very similar style and comedy. The characters in both are adorable and complex, and the plot-style is similar, but is also very different and unique in both cases. Yuri on Ice explores different types of love, namely romantic love, while Sk8 the Infinity explored friendship and the need for platonic bonds.

gayanimedad says...

They're both queer-coded sports anime where the main character feels he's not getting anywhere in his respective sport, and is forced to confront these feelings when a natural prodigy shows up on the scene. They're both heartwarming and have found family energy to them. 

PrxpleRocks says...

They are both about sports and have great animation and storylines i really

recommend both animes because in my opinon they both really good and i

keep watching them over and over again! ^^ I hope you watch one of these

 animes!

Hearts4madi says...

I defintly think you should watch both of these they are both very gay skating/ ice skating animes with good plots.

RainbowPuffBall says...

Both are sports anime with gay vibes and lots of strong friendships and rivalry. Both have that wholsome feeling that often is found in sports aime.

iggyonmain says...

While Sk8 the infinity lacks the very overt LGBTQ representation that Yuri!!! on Ice does, they both have hype sports anime moments for those that crave it.

sjahsltolas says...

Both Sk8 and YOI are very similar in both plot and characters. Both have a heavy focus on characters, relationships, and competition. If you like one you'll probably like the other

animebigbigfan says...

I do agree because theyre both sports animes and they have been very enjoyable to watch!!! hopefully this is enough to convince you to watch it!!

Themisia says...

Sports anime 😌 duhh.        

mobTheBlob337 says...

if you want yuri on ice but 20 times more hipe i got the show for you                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

AteMephii says...

The shows feature an equal amount of character development and focus on the sport they represent without outbalancing one or the other. The shows manage to tell the story they want to tell by making the fans anticipate a possible 2nd season.

But YOI still hasn't released their movie Ice Adolescence but considering the studio that made it has rumors aplenty- well. I'm not expecting it anytime soon.

gintokisballs says...

both are sports animes, both have homoerotic subtext, both deal with competitiveness (albeit a little more serious with yoi and yknow, THE OLYMPICS) and both are filled with humour.

Magenta0shadow says...

They are both sport anime and are mostly about competition and the personal relationship of the main characters.

These are the type of anime that are able to make you smile.

bkarwal says...

Both of these animes have a similar vibe. Both involve someone improving in an activity (figure skating/skateboarding) and becoming much better. 

Mallowchu says...

If you like Yuri on Ice / sk8, I highly recommend you try the other if you haven't seen it already.Both have likable main characters, nice dynamics. 

MiladyBlackRose says...

If you love fruity, comedic animes, then you'll love these! Both of these had me rolling in laughter as well as pulling at my heart strings at times. These are a few I always watch when I need cheering up! 

ExilicRain says...

They are both about the relationship between two boys and how they navigate it through a sports setting.

GustafTheWise says...

The characters are very reminiscent of each other from either of these shows, they have an amazing skill and shortcomings, but also have those small comedic ties which can create conflict and hilarious action throughout the episodes

killuasbloodyankles says...

YURI ON ICE IS SO SLAY. Just watching the ice skating made me want to learn more about it and look into it. And the meotional connection between yuri and victor just made me so happy because victor really helped yuri see who he really could be. In season 2 they better ge together

imDrRugs says...

im pretty sure i could watch any sports anime and like it as long as it gets me excited and whatnot so if youre the same youll probably like it.... made me wish i did figure skating. :'(

feathertail38 says...

Apart from the inherent homoerotic undertones present in all sports anume, the protagonists of both these shows are definitely in love and I cannot be conviced otherwise.

KiiroKrayz says...

Its same sexual tension and pretty boys.Its also about sports. It's not quite the same but both are pretty cool

coburn says...

its gay and it slaps. what else do i need to say. Yuri on ice is more direct than sk8 infinity.

123hooman456 says...

Both are about sports. One is about ice skating and the other is about skateboarding. Each show has two male main characters (making them gay lol) 

lbuu says...

sweethearts everywhere, wonderful atmosphere and they both make you feel wholesome in evey way possible. the ships that actually don't necessarily have to set sail but you still feel satisfied 

ScarletStreak says...

These are both sports anime with a more irregular sport in focus (aka not volleyball, basketball, or soccer), so that already sets them up as a good match. The art style, particularly how both approach movement, is incredible, and the characters are well-written and likable. If you like main characters with good chemistry and sports anime, this is a good fit.

cameron7053 says...

SK8 the infinity is a story that will make you wait on edge to see what happens next. With wacky twists and epic stunts, it's a wonder we don't have a second season yet. Yuri!!! on Ice is a similar setting where there is competition and training and wacky twists and epic stunts. Music and composition are phenomenal on both shows. Listening to the intro to SK8 or Yuri makes you want to get out and go go go

TwistedKatz says...

They both have good representation, suitable art styles, and good plots. I 100% recommend them if you're into action/sport with slight romance animes. 

SaberOfShadows says...

Both have "subtle" suggestions of boys' love....hehe(when I say "subtle", Yuri!!! on Ice is automatically ommitted from the statement). Both involve some form of sports that only involves men(how is that no gay?)........

tess123456 says...

Its SOOOOO GOOD i LOVEEEEEE Ittt so watch it be its truly amazing and the I think 6h is the best 6h 

Miyuna says...

These both have the same humor and feeling. Except one is about ice skating and the other about skateboarding. They both are also about competition.

IronLady2004 says...

Soft, sport, shounen ai content with one character that is blond and op and the other is kind of a loser but they try their best and we love them. 

Hutai says...

Both anime have 2 guys who end up being close friends, trusting each other wile growing, chasing their passion and trying to win.Lots of action, humor, good story and music

Xeujin says...

sk8 and haikyuu are both sport anime's and if that your kind of thing then I reccomend watching both of them, the team of kurasuno has a very captivating bond and I believe you can find a similiar bond with Reki and his friends. Both anime's have a sense of almost like you could feel being there in my opinion. Overall I think both are very good anime's and if you like one I reccomend trying out the other.

KageLoki says...

Both of these animes are in the sport category. The main characters are a little different. While in Haikyuu they first don't really get along. In sk8 they hit it off right away.

Both animes go into emotional and physical struggles of the main characters (and others).

In Haikyuu there is more of course, it's longer and has more characters you can connect to. 

They both have the fact that they can be easily imagined in the category: Shounen Ai. Which is usually what you get when there are primarily boys in an anime. 

callmechrollo says...

Both are sposrtss anime duh. But for the most part both have such great cjaracters that you can form a bond with. Although SK8 is more dramatic and less realistic it still gives off that same vibe where your rooting for everyone. 

TheCautionBandi says...

Sporth anime go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ihavenoideawhattoput says...

both shows have teenagers as the main characters, so there's a lot of humor and relatable moments. the characters are very loveable, and you can tell how passionate they are for skateboarding/volleyball. you get to see their 'journey' throughout the season/s of how they grow and improve their skills, and as characters. overall amazing shows and are my favourites!!

evelynannb says...

Both have wholesome feel-good storylines, with a great blend of comedy and drama. I may be biased because I love both shows to death but I can't recommend them enough. These shows are also great if you love seeing characters overcome their own limitations.

Max4444 says...

Both are sports anime that make you feel hyped and excited and make you want to be active. I don't know a lot about skateboarding, but the things they do in sk8 seem like things you can do in real life, and Haikyuu is also very realistic. 

Drpx1 says...

If you like to see friendship blossoming then these are both a good choice, while SK8 is more individual theres still a sense of a team spirit that builds.

On the flip side Haikyuu starts off with some of the individualistic tendencies which blossom into a good team spirit for Vollyball.

Either way theyre both enjoyable regardless of which you've watched first, if you like the one then youd be sure to like the other.

Monopoco says...

They both have character development and reveal the struggles of each character in their pursuit to master the sports anime. They both also have cool visualization that shows more of the emotions associated with the game

kenzieoyola says...

very good i love them both so much and the shipping game in both are very strong. both stories are also very epic, overall they're both extremely entertaining and interesting

Saturn0 says...

Sports anime goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

piscisnonsum says...

Similar comedic banter and relationship dynamics, both have their main characters trying to learn and improve at their sport. There is a bit more angst toward the end of SK8, and Haikyuu has some of that, but it hits a bit differently. Both have an emphasis on high-energy games and characters, determination, and friendship (as well as shipping potential if you're into that). It's quite easy to get invested in either of these shows, and I'd say they're both top-notch.

AnimeBinger123 says...

Both have comedy, cute anime boys, and a wholesome story that makes each charcter seem powerful

mymindishoax says...

   

Hutai says...

Both anime have a same director. The world is very colorful and full of details, street life and 2 guys who are different in their own ways becoming really close friends. Lots of action, good humor, great story, flashy moves and ost.

catg1rlish says...

Banana Fish is sad, but it's also very good. Sk8 the Infinity also has some sad parts between Langa and Reki :)

notlucinda says...

They both have really similar vibes coming from each other, probably because they're directed by the same person. There are MANY parallels, and the art style is a little bit similar. Banana Fish has an LGBT main pairing, and Sk8 The Infinity has a lot of possible canon LGBT characters.

Other than that tho, they have opposite genres. One is a psychological crime, the other is a sports anime. 

wittledisgrace says...

It seems to be a lot of similarities between both series, and the relationship between the main characters is so wholesome, also the supporting characters are super interesting!

mymostbeloved says...

Both Banana Fish and SK8 the Infinity are produced from the same person and have similarities. If you liked one, you'd definitely liked the other one as well.

NeveeSnow says...

Cute boys, similar dynamics between the characters, suspenseful story, mature themes and eye-catching visuals. Both amazing.

mobTheBlob337 says...

same vibe man, i cant explain this.... you will for sure enjoy it tho!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

weeaboop says...

Both animes take place primarily on the streets and depict urban culture which sets them apart from the standard high school anime love romance that is done so often.. They are both action-y and show a close relationship between two boys.

kirishima13 says...

                                                                                                                                                                                                              

footsnatcher says...

`Ive seen both of these animes, and they're both similar in a way. I loved them and have rewatched them, so I do recommend them.

Elysium22 says...

sk8 th einfinity is pg-13 version of banana fish but they're both equally incredible in their own way

Max4444 says...

Both anime are about boys being passionate about a hobby. In both anime one of the main characters has never done that hobby before, but he has a talent for it while their talent is not like other anime where someone wants to try something for the first time and is immediately a pro at it (Langa was already very good at snowboarding, and he struggles with skateboarding tricks at first, and Mafuyu struggles with playing the guitar and his actual talent is singing.)

While Sk8 is not a BL, there is a lot of gay tension between the main characters. Even if you don't like gay stuff though, both are still very entertining anime.

ketm says...

no explanation needed. both are worth a shot. both have the center focus music and skating. they have two main characters who get close because of their interests. 

ar10 says...

both have a prodigy ✅

both get taught by someone and then get good ✅

gay ✅ 

amazing story and art ✅

kiwiigloo says...

Both these animes seem very lighthearted and fun, then theres darkness in each. You'll have to watch to find out what :)

Hutai says...

Though genres seem different, what they have in common is a group of guys who are very passionate about their hobby. Connecting to new people, learning more about themselves, going through an emotional roller coaster when you want to be the best, feel jealous, or have misunderstandings with others. Great story, and a lovely animation. 

KaoriTtowiatam says...

If you enjoyed sk8 the infinity because of the gay energy, Backflip is for you.

They are both a sports anime and have beautiful anime boissss and the animation is good 2

Thats all I have to say.

Enjoy <3

GabsV says...

THe characters in both are pretty unique and they both focus on someone who is new to some sport and they learn from a more experienced person 

Evelynnnny says...

They seem to have similar story lines and both use sport as a main focus. They way they present sport is also similar. With both being very competitive 

sjahsltolas says...

Both Sk8 and Bakuten/Backflip are sports anime where the main focus is characters and relationships along with competition (they are sports anime after all). Both have beautiful animation for the skateboarding and the choreography for the gymnastics along with beautiful coloring and directing

Gazsi says...

both are Racing by skateboard

MC is a teenager

bothe They have tournaments

sk8 is very similar for air gear but with a better animation

MonaQ says...

Skating. Once you skate, you cannot forget the feeling of being that free. Both these anime have kickass tricks which will end up giving you ideas (so do not try at home). 

After watching, you would want to skate one more time. :)

Hutai says...

In both anime 2 guys, different in their own ways meet each other and become close buddies with a similar hobby.Teaching each other, challenging people around and having a clear goal - being the best and winning.Friendship, lots of action, fun, good story and music 

IHateTrash says...

Both sports, loud red head with quiet blue head, supporting color headed charas, friendships (just friends? really? lol), some ups and downs, ships and side ships (ehem)

Bacteria says...

Same director. They both have almost the same artstyle. However, SK8 is much more interesting than Free! No cap.

Umaianpan says...

The tone is very similar in the two series- sport; good-looking guys; ambition; angsty friendships and rivalries. Free! is more of a slow burner though while Sk8 is the more action packed.

xRJLx says...

sue me, but they are both sports anime with found family and high stakes in the saftey department. oh my lord 100 characters long -_-. 

gege11 says...

they are both insane sports animes which take themselves very seriously ,no matter how silly the situations are or how high the stakes become . They also include sports with questionable rules which leads to some of the most fun and out of pocket moments in both .sk8 does have more style with it's higher production value but tribe nine does follow through with incredible set and character designs .

Hutai says...

Though both genres are pretty different what they have in common is 2 guys with similar passion. Snowdoarding and skating, becoming the best friends, getting into a fight with each other and making up. Great soundracks, good and engaging story.
