Is it safe to safe this is a masterpiece even if you don't like tennis at first?
>the story direction flows so naturally
>a very likable cast even
>can switch from comfy to intense
>MC is pretty based
this made me change my opinion of tennis as a whole.I guess I just don't like prince of tennis. would definitely would rewatch someday.

It's good but the pacing for the tennis games isn't the best in the manga. Not so sure about the anime.
>>156134794
I think the pacing is great compared to most sports anime. and the soundtrack while probably good on its own but when used at the right moments it just brings out the moment that much more. I dont want to pick up the manga since its not finished but from what I have read, the manga is still good too. what I love most is almost every character has a proper story, some character you thought you would hate but actually turned out to be great, I would definitely recommend watching the anime, even if you aren't a big fan of tennis.
another thing I love is that even if all of a sudden a player use a new technique its properly explained in that moment or in another. and they have much better explanation and portrayal of the ZONE. can really feel the details that went into this the author must really like the sport

will we get a 3rd season? and did I make the thread too late? no one seems to be here, kinda feel bad I didn't watch it while it was airing.

I am Vanga or something?
We might get a new season, we might now. I don't know. It wouldn't be enough to even catch up to the manga, though.
Also Baby Steps was never that popular to begin with. Though it got some longer threads.

Its great romance sport series. Bar Cross Game. I love the dynamic between Natsu and Ei-chan.
>>156135770
one of the few times I ever felt I wanted an drawing as my waifu.
I havent even tried to watch/read cross game because it has sever case of sameface that just looks like it hurts to look at.

>Also Baby Steps was never that popular to begin with.
bet if I posted a prince of tennis thread it would get some post. but I guess, I mean there people who dont like slam dunk
>It wouldn't be enough to even catch up to the manga, though.
I wouldn't expect it to, just would love to see the matches animated since it seems more the detailed type of sports anime. and the soundtrack and overall more ExN romance
>I am Vanga or something?
huh?
>>156134977
It's been awhile since I read the manga but from what I remember a lot of the tennis games spend a fuck ton of chapters on the first set and then speeds through the last one in like a chapter or two or something along those lines.
>>156136092
well I could see that as the first set could be they're feeling each other out and trying to find each other weakness. and who has the ability to capitalize on that while also fixing their own weakness in the game or cover it up more.
it feels like a different or reverse approach to probably most sports anime, that start off slow and then pick up at the end after finding their weakness.
