Description
From Viz: Ryoma Echizen just joined the Seishun Academy's tennis team, which is known for being one of the most competitive teams in Japan. Its members are incredibly talented, gifted, and athletic. With rigorous and extremely intense practices, the upperclassmen of the team expect the very best from themselves and they expect even more from the new members of the team. While most of the freshmen are on pins and needles hoping they won't get cut from the team, Ryoma Echizen is confident, cool, and collected. Some might even say he's cocky, but at least he's got the skills to back up his attitude. With his virtually unreturnable "twist serve," Ryoma is sure to make the starting team. Join Ryoma and the other first years, as they train hard, make friends, and try to find a place for themselves on the team. And meet Ryoma's cute but chronically shy classmate Sakuno Ryuzaki. She's got a big crush on Ryoma, but will he ever notice her? Ryoma Echizen is the Prince of Tennis. He may be ready for the Seishun Academy tennis team, but are they ready for him?!
It's funny and I thought it was really good at the start but once you get into the regional tournements, the matches take waaaay too long to bhe over with. Though the chapters in between the matches are really funny so if you read anything of PoT, you MUST read those chapters!
And as many other people said, the moves are very unrealistic. But they're funny and sort of cool...
The matches are too damn long >_> Like, it was very hard for me to sit and watch loooooong matches in PoT. I'm proud to say i had not skipped an PoT episode.
But rewatching...hmmm, really hard to say if i will be rewatching it anytime soon (and believe me, i love rewatching anime i so enjoyed. PoT is half-half. I enjoyed but too long of a match for me).
The manga will come to an end within 11 chapters, hmm...now lets see how it'll end-- mostly with the fact that there's 3 or 4 more matches to go within so little time.
Well... its entirely unbelievable, and one of those things you have to read at 3am to like, since its so simple. I guess its alright, once you get down to it, but its so.... puffed up, its stupid. I mean, some of those moves defy the laws of physics, not just gravity. XD Some of it is amusing, and I like the main characters personality, but really, its not something I would recommend.
It is my one and only shonen manga and I only read the first 5 volumes (because I collect so many manga series, that I had no time for a shonen manga). But I like itin spite of that.
The manga is good, the story is a big and the best part of it, art is also very good and the main character for once is already very good at start. One irritating thing are all these kinds of special hits that they master without complex, as I myself play tennis it makes me a bit sad and gives a wrong impression. I agree they bring more excitement and make it more interesting, but there should be a limit. But overall a very good manga, try it out.
im giving the animae a 10 cause i have not read the manga.i watch it on toonami jetstream where i get my half fill of animae.i dont know who my favorite is tho,ryoma or his dad...oh well its exiting and doesnt do tame exitmentwhen.dont worry manga fans i will get to the manga when ive finished the other several series im reading
Finally, a sport manga and anime where the protagonists are not such underdogs! Makes me happy to know that from the start, they are already known to be good players unlike mangas like slamdunk and others where the people were nobodies at first.Great tennis shots(I actually wanna try the triple counters but alas that is impossible).Unique characters. You learn to love even those characters that should be enemies(ex.Atobe, Sanada, Tachibana,Kirihara etc.).And finally the great seigaku best trio(Tezuka, Fuji, Echizen).A must read!
