Chihayafuru
It's a story about a niche sport and the people around it. The story does an excellent job in making us care about the sport & letting us know how it works.The cast of characters is the best I've seen of its genre and the pacing is flawless.
Sport : Karuta

Major
It's the most unique shonen sports anime I've come across. It follows the journey of the MC from a very young age to his adult life as a professional player in the span of multiple seasons. It's like a biography of a sportsman that doesn't exist
Sport : Baseball

Ping Pong the animation
A series by arguably the best active anime director and mangaka, it's a story that captures so much thematic content, character development and meaningful symbolism in a short span of episodes with a unique artstyle. Must watch series.

Welcome to the Ballroom
A series on ballroom dancing made by the same people as Haikyuu! with an amazingly drawn manga. The character dynamics is amazing, its a wholesome story and the music is legendary. It's a super underappreciated series in general.

REAL
One of the best character drama I've read by the writer of Vagabond. It's an inspiring tale of people at their worst physically, mentally or both trying to do their best living with what they have. It's a must read manga if you're a fan of animanga.
