here is a review if you have never seen prince of tennis before

The main character, Echizen Ryoma (a.k.a. The Prince of Tennis) is a tennis prodigy that has just returned from the US. His father, once a tennis great that retired upon the birth of Ryoma (and just before winning the very last of all the major tennis championships in the world too), decides to send him to Seigaku High School.

It is in this school where Ryoma’s talents will be developed as he battles for a place in the starting line up against top players, like the super-cool Seigaku Captain, Kunimitsu Tezuka and senior prodigy Shusuke Fuji.

But the story really begins when he starts challenging the best tennis players around the district, region and perhaps the world.

Personal Comments:
Prince of Tennis may be branded as the typical Sports Anime. And that’s not the only detractor from the series: The Dragonball-style unrealistic tennis moves probably come next.

But, some of the tennis moves are cool nonetheless. You’ll really have to watch the series to understand the coolness of Shusuke Fuji’s Triple Counters. It is ironic though that Ryoma’s personal techniques aren’t really that cool compared to some of the players (like Fuji, Tezuka, etc.)

However, while the first arc of the series can be said to be interesting, IMHO, it goes downhill from there. The ending of the series defintely felt rushed too. I’d really like to see what happens from there since I haven’t read the manga (Question: Does it go further than the anime?).

I’m looking forward to a subbed version (or the DVD) of the Prince of Tennis movie, which will probably take quite some time.

So, I recommend giving Prince of Tennis a try. If you’re the type that likes the action + super moves concept (which many do, e.g. Bleach, Naruto, DBZ fans), you’ll probably warm up to it. I did, lol.

ok but just to warn you... the beginning of prince of tennis is quite boring... later in the eps the climax WILL go HIGHER.. the ending! omgosh! the climax is the best!! oh.... gosh!

Description Echizen is the featured tennis player in the show. His father is a famous professional tennis player who retired really early but otherwise could have became the number 1 tennis player in the world. Echizen is the only 1st year regular player in Seigaku, since he short compared to the other members, he's been nicknamed O'Chibi (baby boy) by fellow player, Eiji. Additional info worth noting: Echizen grew up in United States and knows English very well (many classmates admires him for this).
