My all time favorite anime and manga!~ I'm so happy they started a sequel!!!!!!!!!!

Ryoma's cockiness, Inui's data, Fuji's sadism (also, notice my username :P), Tezuka's stoicism, Oishi's mother-hen-ness, Eiji's cat qualities, Kawamura's BURNING!!!!!!!, Momo's playfulness along with a little competitiveness, Kaido's hissing... they're all to die for :)

If you're serious about tennis, maybe not a great fit for you, though. It apparently gets annoying for those who play seriously. And of course no one can believe they're middle school students. Although I think it's creative on Konomi-sensei's part for all those moves! I've been told multiple times it's not possible, and I know that. So if you don't want to have to deal with "fantasy", then definitely not for you. Although the characters and their interactions are definitely fun to watch.

That's another thing that's great. There are so many characters, so many personalities, so many quirks, it's great. Only thing, there are a lot of annoying girls. Although when I say a lot, it's like a 50:1 ratio in terms of boys to girls (not including nameless fan girls).

If you like sports-anime and don't mind things that would never actually happen in reality, then I definitely think you should watch it. And then watch it again :). Also, don't forget the manga. There's just a different charm about each of them. But other than the girls, I don't really have a con for this series at all...

Actually I think I'm going to watch it again~
