lol just got done watching it. very cool.

but curiously... if todo was about to lose the match because of the double fault (as maki says) that would assume yuu is 40, but when todo got the ace... he won the game? wouldn't he have to go through a deuce first?

maybe i have too much time on my hands ;P

just watched the first ep. Looks like another must-see series (well, i've always liked sport-themed series anyway so i'm a bit biased).

Well, you have to factor in the reality that the available funding in Japanese dramas is much smaller than an average American drama. So the special effects you see is the result of that. My personal opinion about the tennis ball effect is that, when factoring in the $$$$$ amount spent on this drama, the effects I see are what I'd expect.

thats exactly what I thought too! The math didn't add up...but oh well who cares really

Now I'm debating whether to download ep2 chinese subbed to watch ahead because those guys are damn fast with their release...


Btw anybody here watch Prince of Tennis as well? I sure hope they don't do any cheese super special moves like in PoT

I know they just looked funny at first. It didn't really make a difference what they looked like and wasn't enough to effect the drama anyway. I also can't really compare it to american dramas because I havent watched any in the past 5 or so years so I'm a little behind.

ahh, just finished watching the first ep today i like it even if the movement of the tennis balls looks

i watched PoT, i like the cheesey moves they have they are so impossible to do

Lol I watch PoT, too, it's pretty cool... sure there's some exaggeration,
but you can't have a animated show without it.
They should turn PoT into a dorama ^^ Even cooler.
Too bad the series is coming to an end (from what I heard).
Well one-hundred-and-something eps ain't bad of a run for series.

i love PoT - especially Ryoma Echizen

sigh, i hate it when good anime comes to an end

no wait, the guy who lost to Yuu cause of the double faults.

is that guy chinese or japanese? cause theres these chinese dramas (ie AQUA HEROES, TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES, and this newer one about soy sauce) where one of the dudes looks JUST LIKE YUU! im not kidding, either its the same person or...damn...Asians do look alike if not identical

Yeah Ryoma and Fuji are my favorites ; ) Though pretty much everyone on SeiGaku is cool.

He got the ace and won O.o
I haven't seen those dramas... but he probably just looks alike.

oops, didnt meant Yuu hah, the guy who wanted to give the tickets to that one really good tennis playing gal and ended up tearing them up cause she rejected him. That guy.

Ishigaki Yuma,he's Japanese

oh ok, thanks for the name. I'll see if I can find the picture of that chinese actor. unless its Ishigaki Yuma and he knows Chinese.

I watched all of this drama and really enjoyed it. The storyline got better and better as the story progressed. The cast was really good too. This was my favorite of the January - March released dramas. Highly recommended!

watched ep 1 already.....aya-chan KAWAIII!!!!!!!!!!

hihi... I just watched the first two esp of this drama, i really enjoy watching it.. aya kawaii ne... i agreed that the movement of the tennis ball is a bit of fake.. cos is done by computer but quite a good drama..

Just watched ep1, it's fun but quite exaggerated. It sure is normal to miss the ball when you have to return but no one has such a bad reaction that he starts to move when the ball has already hit the cage behind you
However, I'll continue watching, Aya-chan is really cute!

Man I downloaded the whole series from d-addicts and have been watching it like crazy. I just watched like 6 eps in a row!

Wow, I knew this was based off of a manga, but this was an anime also! And it had 2 seasons, 2 ova's and a movie! Must've been ridiculoiusly popular.
