Waterboys (Japan, 2001)

In a Japanese high school, a class of adolescent geeks joins the new synchronized swimming teacher and takes up the challenge to take part in the competition, in spite of the mockeries of the "real sportsmen".

Over the years, Waterboys has gained a huge fanbase, and I don't blame the in the slightest. It's a funny story that's quirky in a very Japanese sort of way. One thing that has been said about it numerous times is that it's humor resembles that of an anime almost, and uses many tropes that  is often seen in anime series. Check it out it you want something easy to watch and nothing too serious. 

Genre: Comedy/Sport
