    RE: Prince of Tennis

    I wouldn't really call that a match... he just got one clean shot in and Sanada was really the winner because Ryoma quit...

    I can't wait to see them show each other their true power in a real match.

    I've been reading these forums for a while but never signed up, thanks kaigan as you've just convinced me. Great animes can consist of lots of different elements and don't need all of them to appeal to a crowd. One of these is character development which Prince of Tennis has an abundance of, you can't call this a lame anime if you've watched multiple episodes of it yet if you believe its lame you probably havn't watched more than one or two. A series which has lasted so long is obviously popular for something and the longer it gets the better it gets as your favourite characters develop more and more. Its one of the series where I actually enjoy the total filler episodes (albeit not mid suspene filled tournaments!) because of this fact.

    Magical powers? If only, then maybe Seigaku wouldn't have to spend 4+ episodes only to lose a single set [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    they all have magical powers. it's popular like pokemon popularity, not like kenshin or trigun.

    it's repetitive. i am a tennis player so when someone makes an anime about tennis, atleast don't exaggerate to a point where you can't exaggerate no more. that's what the creator of POT has done.

    RE: Prince of Tennis

    Hey, i play tennis a lot too. And its really interesting to watch this knowing that i really know how to play, and it isnt "magical powers". how can you not exaggerate? it is a CARTOON. what else are you supposed to do? are you saying people can really do the stuff in trigun and kenshin? i think not. each anime has it's unique quality to it, and that is what makes prince of tennis so appealing. the character development is very well done, and the music is as well. and there is an actual storyline, so it is focused. remember, if they used just normal tennis moves, where would the fun be in that? it is really interesting to watch all of the new moves they come up with, because it is an anime, not real tennis. just like no one can shoot like vash. and no one can be deadly with a sword like kenshin.

    RE: Prince of Tennis

    I tried watching the first 3 eps about four months ago. Not only could I barely get through the first two, I was laughing so hard at how much drama and tension they try to infuse into a tennis match I couldn't even watch the third.

    Apparently it's amazing that anyone can play tennis at all in Japan.

    RE: Prince of Tennis

    i agree with Ryllharu. i remember they made the spin serve like it's super hard to do. all i am saying is that don't exaggerate tennis so much that it becomes a joke, which is what POT is.

    RE: Prince of Tennis

    Playing tennis is very entertaining... but watching it can become tedius, in fact it is damn boring... what PoT did was make a tedius sport to watch as fun as possible... and in my book they succeeded....

    And don't come here preaching that you opinions are above everyone elses just because you play tennis... news flash you are not the only one...

    did you think you'd succeed in persuading people not to watch a series that they've seen over 100 eps of in their OWN forum no less??

    there are alot of people on these forums who try to act like missionaries and influence the beliefs of other people, which is kinda annoying (although personally i think the worst of these cases come from people in the FMA forums [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

    I found the series to be very boring as well, but thats just my opinion. I'm kinda curious to see how much different it is now in the series than 100 eps ago....since i'd think it would be extremely hard to come up with unique stuff about tennis.

    In fact.....ive come to the conclusion that american television isnt the only thing slipping.....it seems these days more and more anime series show up that take a simple theme or idea, and then build a whole series on it.....as if the plot is an improvised medium to carry out whatever "what if" scenario the creator thinks up. I mean cmon, people who can manipulate paper into whatever they want? A guy who's hand becomes a naked chick? A guy who fights with nose hairs?? Yeah.....i think the world is running out of ideas [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    i believe pot is the second lamest anime. however, it is very close behind hikaru no go, the absolute stupidest anime ever... a dumb anime about a board game.
