Finally!!!!!!!!
I finally got to watch the "Another Story" series and The New Prince of Tennis! Can't believe it. I don't know if there would be more about our favorite Seigaku heroes and ochibi-chan, but I think I'm not tired of them yet.
Well here goes my rambling.
About the "Another Story" series, it was nice to see our old tennis friends like the guys from Shitenhouji and Higa. Also to see the young versions of tournament favorites like Hyotei and Rikkai. It seemed that this additional series just wanted to extend the appearances of the characters. Well, as you have noticed in the last episode of the Nationals, our Seigaku seniors should have graduated already, and Ryoma was already in the US. But as you can see, the creator and the fans don't want our Seigaku seniors to graduate yet! I can't imagine this anime without the seniors! So I presume all other anime that they'll release in connection to this will still have the cool seniors. But let's see how Konomi Takeshi will go on with this, maybe a new story about Ryoma and the sophomores is up in the air.
I like the approach that The New Prince of Tennis series had with the characters. I'm just happy they just released it recently. Wow as in this year only, 2012. They make me feel so young still, because the characters aren't that olf yet. Hahaha! Well being the underdogs against high schoolers was a nice plot to play with, although I don't think all of them don't really look like middle schoolers or high schoolers. I prefer if this was really done in a college setting. Oh well, still love it though, how underdogs try to prove themselves. Ryoma is a haughty as always, and his tennis skill definitely has no limit. Same goes for the other characters.
It wasn't as crazy as the Nationals, well because I didn't get too see those aura moves (jitoku kiwami...pweh...I can't remember) that often. Only for the episode of Tezuka and Captain Yamato. The only crazy things for me was the training in the mountains (but that was the most fun part too) and hitting ten tennis balls all at once!!! But I welcomed the idea. I enjoyed it.
The high schoolers didn't really look like very strong opponents, well because we have very strong middle school protagonists here. Hahaha! Of course, this is their show.
The ending song misled me with this last clip shown. I thought these guys would be the ultimate middle school all-Japan team in that series. Hahaha! It didn't turn out like that. But I love the twist. Although the ending part looked really rushed. Well I understand they can't show full matches unlike before, but still I think there ought to be more episodes. And the ending, it wasn't really clear who won in the fight against Court 2 and Court 3 and if Ryoma finally got to beat Court 1's king Tokugawa. Well as Ryoma said:
There's still a long way to go...
PS: I wanna watch the new movie set in England! I was laughing so much, caus I made a fanfiction before about them going to England, in Hogwarts! Hahaha! Now I'll have more inspiration to continue my unfinished story! Hahahaha!
Will I still be able to watch them when I get older? Hmmm....
