Prince of Tennis… After n years! X_X

May 8, 2007 @ 4:13 am

Fufufu~ I finished the Prince of Tennis tv series last Friday. Whew! After a long time, I finally managed to. I kept pushing it aside because I got tired from watching too many of the tennis tournaments. If you watch it straight from episode 1 to about 70+, the tournaments will really get to your nerves. It’s like watching Full Moon o Sagashite with a single song playing a number of times in every episode. Know what I mean? That’s forgiven anyway because a series with lots of boys would mean possible YAOI pairs. ^_~
When I watched from about episode 160 to the end, I kind of regretted not watching it earlier. The filler episodes are hilarious. I did mention this in my blog about the obvious hints of InuKai, TezuFuji, OishixKikumaru (or vice-versa), and my favorite pair TezuRyo. ^_^ The yaoi fangirl in me is finally very satisfied with the series. *rofl* I enjoyed all the chibi, prince-of-various-sports, and other extra episodes. They were good enough to make one forget tennis for a little while. SD-Tezuka is so OOC XD And Oishi acting as the mother is extreme CRACK! *lol* I wasn’t very happy with the ending though because it sucks Ryoma wouldn’t be able to play in the Nationals. But, you know, the only fortunate thing for finishing watching the tv series just recently is that the National Chapter OAV is already showing. That means I would see right away what happened after Ryoma left for the US Open. ^^ I’d go on, but discussing about the OAV should go to a different post.

This is the longest anime I have ever seen. (I would say Ranma 1/2, but I’m pretty sure I missed a lot of its episodes or a season.) Prince of Tennis will be my first favorite sports anime in my list.

Animation: 4/5
Story: 4/5
Sound: 4/5
Character: 4/5
Enjoyment: 4.5/5

Oh, I have yet to see Ryoma grow a little bit. Even only a few centimeters maybe. ^_^
Here are some screencaps from episode 163:

*ROFL* I wanted to watch this episode, too! During their games, they’re nothing but hyped to win. But when its crack episode - THEY ARE INDEED CRACK hahahaha! And who would’ve expect Tezuka to show some emotions? XD

Oh yeah, speaking of Tezuka, I can’t forget Yuu Shirota’s dorkiness hahaha! I admire him for an excellent acting as Tezuka because… well Shirotan’s so bubbly!

(oh noes… I’m forgetting something… I’m a ryoma fan for goodness sake…)

Yeah.. It gets tiring watching straight from episode 1 to 70++.. That’s what i experienced last summer ~___~ I ended up not finishing the last tournament.. I only watched until the episode that Ryoma challenged Sanada.. Then i got too tired to even watch the real tournament *________*

The chibis, the gag, the filler were one of the best ¦D

hey, i wonder if you can help me. I know you said you liked the fillers but since i never watch fillers -in any anime- could you please tell me PoT fillers so I could skip them? I’m not a member in this blog so would it be easy for you to e-mail me your answer? sorry for being such a pain, thanks in advance
