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.

Interesting characters development, a lot of cute boys ^_^
But a lot of things that unreal for a drama, for example, "muga no kyouchi", Ryoma manage to win the final
match just by achieving "muga no
kyouchi"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
How was that possible when his opponent is Japanese best teenage player?????????????????
But even if I felt of how weird it is, I still rate this anime as a good one. It is....ENTERTAINING.(A lot of funny
jokes...)
It's an all-around solid anime. There's really nothing for me to complain about, for a sports anime it was very entertaining. I was concerned that I would be bored considering it's about a sport, but I enjoyed it. ^_^
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.
abaddon13 rated 9.50:The first series was really nice! I loved every bit of the series. Near the end, was really heart rending! I loved how Ryoma Echizen respects Tezuka and all his upper class men. It's a good series to watch, but quite long and has a couple of OVA's that aren't even finished yet. I think the movie was over the top though the live drama was also good! Every one of the series was amazing!
thesleepingdoll rated 10.00:I almost dropped (or abandoned) this anime because at first I really thought it was just all about tennis (in which I wasn't interested at first) but later on, my gosh, this isn't just about sports, it also talks about FRIENDSHIP & well, HUMOR :))
I love the Tenipuri specials and those episodes which aren't related to tennis (like when they play billiard, bowling and other sports). I'm re-watching this again and again (didn't care how many times) and I love the movie & the OVA (currently re-watching)!
PLUS: The male characters are waaaay cool and handsome >w<
