Thread: Prince of Tennis OVA: National Championship Chapter

    Prince of Tennis OVA: National Championship Chapter

    I don't know how the TV series ended, but I'm pretty sure this is good news... I assume that this is a sequel continuing the story where the TV left off...


    "Bandai Visual (Japan) has announced that it will release The Prince of Tennis: The National Tournament starting on March 24, 2006. The 7-volume series will be animated by M.S.C., in collaboration with Production I.G. Shunsuke Tada will direct. Thanks to Vitruvius for this item."

    Edit: Just saw this on tokyotosho, I assume it's the OVA.

    Released by Ani-Jiyuu

    Just based on the first ep, the animation is a definite improvement from the crappy stills with a single pinwheeling racket that was so popular in the TV series =P It's the National Tournament so the setup is already pretty exciting... for some reason in this ep they're not so subtle with the Tezuka worship. The shot with Oishi blushing at Tezuka's entrance was kinda funny

    First episode was pretty good, I wonder how good Echizen is going to be on this tournament considering he was pretty much kicking Lleyton Hewitt's ass in the US Open.

    Also, the next two episodes (2 and 3) should come out on DVD in two months or so, with every DVD coming out every two months until episode 13, each DVD containing two episodes.

    I wondered about that too, but it's PoT where anything improbable can become a sincere possibility But man, a 2-month gap between a couple of eps is gonna be frustrating...

    So these are DVD rips and not actual recordings from Japan?

    Yes since the Episodes are released on DVD's. They are not on Japaneese TV. Hence OVA Original Video Animation (i think)

    Any update on this? The raws came out a month ago, did they not?


    Raws 4 and 5 are out too now.

    It's nice to see Echizen messing around. I don't know who else is going to win other than Tezuka, but I can't wait to see Fuji's 4th counter. Of course, it would be nice if other grps subbed it (I wish AO was doing it, but they stopped), since 5 raws are out.

    Thanks a lot Bud!

    By the way, I haven't seen the 3rd ep yet but in the 2nd, isn't Ootori's match still going on even after Echizen's...yet he didn't even break a sweat or anything? They showed him before, and after that match.

    Don't know what match you mean, didn't pay much attention.

    Here's episode 5:

    I thought episode 4 was very boring, the Kikumaru singles game. This episode was much better, and next one should be great with Tezuka finally playing.

    ^ i was a little eerie in watching ep 5 cause i don't want something super good to happen and then i have to wait for the next episode. But kikumaru's match was very entertaining ^_^

    Episode 5 sucked, Inui did shit, Kaidou didn't even use boomerang, the only good part was at the end where Momoshirou figured out Kaidou was using a powerband the whole match.

    I thought this was a good episode, we finally saw Tezuka at "full" strength... Last comment by Ryoma was good.

    While it was good and interesting, I think PoT has completely given up making their specials logical and realistic. I mean the whole "2 Kikamaru" thing along with the new two forms of aura...

    Also, why didn't Sanada us Muga no Kyouichi when he was playing Ryoma?
