would you guys watch a sports anime based on esports??
it's already been done several times before but without the umbrella of esports. i think many times characters are put into a minigame separate from the real world such as capture the flag or something else. to me, this idea sounds like people just want a tournament story but has been done many times and it's a very notorious story structure...
i mean id watch it but i doubt you can make a good esports anime. The reason why sports animes work is because you don't really need to explain sports a lot. Everyone that watches bluelock has an idea how football/soccer works. It'd be hard to make up a game, the explain how the game works and build up a narrative around it.
Like even Yu-Gi-Oh has had to cut corners from how it works in the actual game vs the anime.
