Overall8Story8Animation8Sound7Character9Enjoyment10The Prince of Tennis - a sports-driven anime that debuted back in 2001, depicts the story of Echizen Ryoma and his experiences in the world of tennis. Along with Hajime no Ippo, the Prince of Tennis helped start the rave with sports-driven anime craze, and its not really a wonder why a lot of those anime use many of the elements from the Prince of Tennis - its so good that its still being animated (in OVA form) this very day.Normally, with sports anime, you see the rise of a certain young star from not being a very good player to being the aceof their sport. The Prince of Tennis pulled something out of the ordinary and made Echizen an amazing tennis player right from the start. Now you're probably thinking, 'Well, where's the fun in that?'
Well, Echizen is always going up against top-notch opponents and throughout the show, you'll witness him going from a cocky, immature kid to one who actually respects his opponents (well, sort of anyway) and development of new, exciting skills. Echizen join the Seigaku high school tennis team and participates in tournaments with them. And of course, the overall theme is to aim for the top of the tennis world.The art is pretty good. It starts off so-so, but before you know it, it gets to that level where you're impressed by it.
As for the animation, you'll see a lot of repeated frames throughout the show (as usual with sports anime), but the way they animate all of the new skills and tennis matches is just so amazing, that after some of the matches, you just stare in awe at its magnificence.The sound, I would say, is probably the weakest point of the show. Although the music presented in the Prince of Tennis does suit the mood and is pretty upbeat at times, there really isn't a score that will stand out to you, where you'll be saying, 'Ah!! I need that on my computer/ipod.' Nevertheless, its relatively enjoyableSince the stories are pretty much the same throughout all sport anime (overall), in order for an anime to be amazing - especially the case with sport ones - characters and unique personalities need to be there. And Prince of Tennis does not disappoint in that category. This show unveils so many different memorable characters, that you'll undoubtedly have trouble picking your all-time favorite one from the lot because they are so unique.
And the best part about it is that the creators were able to somehow give each character a unique way of playing tennis. With the amount of characters and opponents they present, you'd think that they would have to repeat somewhere. But that's definitely not the case.With amazing tennis matches, a plethora of unique and lovable characters, and a cocky main protagonist that will get on your nerves at times but you'll respect out of necessity because of his skills, the Prince of Tennis is an amazing sport anime. The best part of this anime is that you will have a hard time knowing who will win matches. Surprisingly enough, all the main characters experience losses matches at times, which makes it interesting to see how each one responds to the agony of defeat.If you are looking for a sport-driven anime and are in for the long haul - meaning 170+ episodes, the Prince of Tennis is exactly what you're looking for.
Overall10Story10Animation9Sound8Character10Enjoyment10Story - 10The story is very original, where the protagonist comes from America to Japan as a well-developed tennis player. His father has him enroll in Seigaku Tennis Club, where he plays opponents who can challenge his skill, while the team seeks to reach the National Tournament. Although the story sounds simple, there are many episodes that get more in depth by revealing more of the characters and the storyline, which I would rather not spoil.Art - 9The art in this anime is spectacular! However, it is a long series, so some frames are repeated throughout games, yet it is still well done to thepoint where it will not bother.
There is a large cast of characters, and each of the players have there very own original moves, yet the art is detailed so well it is easy to distinguish between all characters. Even the comedic and chibi episodes were truly amazing and had detailed art.Sound - 8The sound in the anime was mediocre. The opening and ending themes sounded like karaoke songs, and they were not real catchy. However, some of them were really good, in my opinion. The sound effects throughout the anime were fine, however, so the music does not really take away from it overall.Character - 10This is one aspect of the anime that truly made it one of my favorites.
There is a huge amount of characters in the anime, and all of them are original and well-designed of course. There will definitely be many characters you can connect to, as there are many types of personalities amongst them. The characters also develop throughout the anime, so a character you may not have liked may become your favorite. Amazing set of characters in this anime!Enjoyment - 10I most certainly enjoyed this anime, as anyone else who's seen it has.
The great plot, good art and characters play a great part in this animes success. Everything from the action packed episodes to the comedic chibi episodes were truly enjoyable!Overall- 10This anime will not disappoint! Overall8Story7Animation5Sound9Character8Enjoyment8'Mada Mada Dane'Once upon a time in Japan, a manga artist by the name of Takeshi Konomi came up with a manga by the name of Prince of Tennis, and it quickly became one of - if not the - most popular sports manga of all time, doing for tennis what Slam Dunk did for basketball, it caused a massive boost in popularity for the sport in its native country.
To this day, it's hard to really say that Japan ever got past Prince of Tennis fever, one look at the various pieces of Prince of Tennis merchandise like the musicals or even the live-actionfilm, makes it instantly clear just how big of a thing this is for them.Naturally, such a popular manga was bound to be subject to an anime adaptation, and so in October 2001, an anime version of the mega-hit was released by none other than.J.C Staff? Wait, seriously? Someone thought that that was a good idea?
I mean, J.C Staff, a company that is well known for messing up and/or butchering adaptations of great works? (I'm looking at you Spiral) This is a company that for the most part, seems to have very little in terms of 'great' budget, and suddenly they're expected to animate 178 episodes of such a huge hit?
All of a sudden, Prince of Tennis the anime sounds like it's going to be a disaster.You know what though? Overall9Story8Animation8Sound10Character10Enjoyment10Prince of Tennis, in my opinion, is like. Superpower tennis.
Not in a bad way, but that's what makes this show enjoyable. Ryoma is your typical tennis prodigy who overcomes players more skilled then he is. Story overall was good, with some bumps and twists along the way. The episodes that contain side-stories and stories where the characters are chibis are hilarious. Best I thought was bowling and Snow White.Art was good, though when in tennis matches, you'll notice repetitions such as their special techniques and missing the ball. That's okay, unless you don't like the moves. The good thing is the art'spretty consistent.
I'll give my opinion that the English dub mixed with the animation is such a pain to watch.Sound? Yeah, it gets a thumbs up. Music is good too, especially Wonderful Days, where it's sung by some of the characters. Dream Believer, love that song!Characters, haha there's A LOT. I'm not talking 20, there's got to be somewhere around 50 or more.
Plus they're pretty all unique. Well, except some players that use their wit.
They just look different. You'll love some, you'll hate some, that's a possibility. Sometimes it's hard to believe they're only in middle school.
Shocking right?Enjoyment, I enjoyed it. The show is really funny. I mostly remember it being funny just because of Inui. Him and his special drinks.Overall, the show gives a lot.
Maybe not romantically, though you get Sakuno crushing on Ryoma, who, of course, doesn't notice. If you want to get a good laugh, watch the special episodes that don't really correspond to the storyline. So stop reading and GO WATCH!
Author's Notes: This fic wassupposed to be published earlier, but due to the lack of time I was only ableto type it now. So here it is. Hope you enjoy.To Toshi, my dear friend wholovers my former OTP, this is for you.Disclaimers: TeniPuri isn't mine. It belongs toKonomi-sama.Wonderful DaysUndoubtedly, though Echizen insisted it wasn't true, hefelt happier whenever his Momo-sempai was around.It was a very fine morning.
The sky was shining blue, thesun was sparkling gold. The clouds seemed like cotton candy only that it didn'tcome in the shade of cherry. The breeze was just right. The leaves of the treeswere swaying along with it, and the birds seemed to do so as well.Echizen appreciated all of this, really.He was just quite irritated, as the Prince Ryoma Fans Clubhas been following him all day. Until now, actually, they have been pesteringhim, and Echizen could not help but be more irritated.He was not enjoying the match with his Fuji-sempai at all.And so he found himself dragging his bag along with him ashe walked along the silent streets.As if the gods wanted him to suffer more, rain startedpelting.
And to top it all, he was alone.It made him hate the day more.He swore he screamed as he was soaked by the rainwater.This was hell.He silently wished that someone would come and brighten uphis day. Take Momoshiro for example.Did he just think of that?Of course he didn't.But he could not deny the fact that Momoshiro was one ofthe very few people who could actually make him happy, though he didn't show it.And it was amazing how Inui got hold of that certainmoment when Echizen really smiled.
Echizen made sure Inui wouldn't spill or hewould do something out of this world. But really, he did not intend to do anything.Nada.So maybe Momoshiro could indeed make him happy, in moreways than one.But, of course, nothing could surpass the happiness tennisgave him.But it was different, that joy that he got from playingtennis. It was something that gave him strength, like water that quenched histhirst, like Momoshiro's smile that made him want to live an extra day,And he thought that maybe, just maybe, playing tenniswould somehow make his day a little less like hell.So he journeyed to the street tennis courts and beat thehell out of the players there.
Prince Of Tennis Wonderful Days Lyrics
He didn't care if the floor was slippery, if healmost fell and he was soaked.But the hellish feeling was still there.He was about to leave the place when he bumped a person.It was Momoshiro.' Oi Echizen, what are you doinghere?
It's still raining. And you're dripping wet!' 'Chii'Momoshiro took out a dry towel and placed it on thefreshman's head.'
Dry yourself before you catch a cold.' Echizen almost jumped in surprise at Momoshiro's suddendisplay of concern. He didn't know how, but his hands started to obey his sempai's command.It was unusual, though. He could actually feel his lipscurving into what seemed like a smile.He then gave the towel to Momoshiro and prepared to leave.He was just about to pick up his bag when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Heturned around only to meet the most beautiful pair of breathtaking amethysteyes. He held his breath for a few moments, gold melting in deep purple.' Ne, would you like to haveburgers?'
Film top secret the billionaire 720p. And Echizen could only nod and hide the smile that wasslowly forming on his lips, lowering his head as hechuckled almost inaudibly.Screw the fact that it was raining. It was a wonderfulday.Undoubtedly, though Echizen insisted it wasn't true, hefelt happier whenever his Momo-sempai was around.20 July 045:32 p.
