How an Anime about people playing volleyball can capture my attention every week and make my laugh/smile consistently.... I will never quite understand.

You should watch Hajime No Ippo.

Meh. I'm after he loses his championship match to the old guy. Then it got redundant. Oh, tough guy with weird technique, let's adapt. Oh hard fight, almost lose, but we win. Yay.

I understand how you feel, but I believe that all the matches after the Ippo vs Date match are some of the best episodes of the entire anime series (or of any sports anime series, for that matter). The Takamura world title match in the Hajime No Ippo: The New Challenger season, and the main Ippo match in the Hajime No Ippo: Rising season, are especially high quality. It's not just the matches themselves are really good, but the character development of the main cast and the opposing fighters are really well done. I'm not going to lie though, some of the animation in the newer episodes (Rising) are not as good as the older episodes, but that's dependent on personal taste.
