Joeshen's Prince of Tennis Tv Review
Rated:
A nice positive thing about this story is how the characters are diverse (which, again, is a nice touch to reality). From Echizen to Momoshiro to Kaidoh, just by these three alone, you can see that the character's personalities are VERY unique (again, reality). Another positive part about this is how they can get each respective personality to complement each other well when together. Another nice one is just how diverse the characters react when they score a point when they play other teams. The slapstick humor was also a nice touch.
~The Good Side:
- Each individual, as mentioned earlier, is unique with their very own personalities, and by their first tourney, you'll
begin to remember their shots and their specialties, as well as their normal personalities.

At first, it can seem boring because of the plot: tennis. But skiping that, Prince of Tennis is a funny shonen with lots of handsome guys
and lots of hyper-weird techniques.
The graphics and quality are excellent and absolutely awesome. Not only the character design but also the scenics and the tennis
matches. However, it is hard to believe that high school students are able to play the way they do... or look the way they are. I mean, some of them seem older than me!!
One of the main characters is mistaken for a teacher!! And he is 14!! And what is also incredible is that they all are genius... that is impossible! I mean, Prince of Tennis is
a big lie!! Well, most of the anime is but... well, you know what i mean. Nevertheless, Prince is really good and joyable.
Maybe matches are too long but is worthy the time spent because of the impossible techniques shown.
And there is a lot of extra material, i mean, stuff to be bought, a lot of merchandising.
The Prince movie is just a big paranoia, a veeeeeeeery big one. Unreal to utmost limits.
All in all, it is good.
princessmeyrin023 rated 9.50:I really like this series because of the characters and the supernatural techniques that they used in playing tennis. All of the characters are unique and I really adore all of them. This is one of the long running titles that I have finished and intend to read again. I'm currently reading the sequel: New Prince of Tennis. To sum it all... IT WAS LONG BUT WORTH IT.
riho88riho rated 8.50:I've gotta say its addicting (as long as you don't get stopped in the middle). The anime also gives action to a series that normally might be considered boring. But it isn't and instead is very exciting in a way that is like any other anime, anticipation, but has that spots feel as well: who will win? How? Go Go! Fight Fight!
There is little drama in the way of friendships/romances. All the drama takes place on the tennis court usually and is of the competitive type between people playing in singles and that of the doubles. The only people-drama would be of Kaido and Momo which is kind of like the comic relief (along with the two-year-playing-tennis-know-it-all-first-year).
fireflywishes rated 8.25:Decent manga adaptation. However, between the anime and the manga, I like the manga better because there are less fillers. In the anime they tend to drag the tennis matches out over many episodes whereas in the manga I can just click through them. I do wish they'd feature some of the other schools' characters a bit more (Kiyosumi~~~)
ai-yame rated 9.50:Tenipuri is probably one of the few series that most of the male characters, if not all, are considered bishounen. But I love Tenipuri not only because of its cool and handsome characters, but also because of the music and the values learned especially in relation to sports and sportsmanship, friendship, and even responsibility. For me, I learned a lot after watching this anime series. I do believe it highly influenced the good in me today, and always will.
