Prince of Tennis Review


Prince of Tennis or TeniPuri is an anime adaptation of the manga series written and illustrated by Takeshi Konomi. The series aired from October 10, 2001 to March 30, 2005 with a total of  178 episodes. The series is all about the sports "Tennis" and a Tennis Club founded at Seishun Academy in tokyo. The anime revolves around Ryoma Echizen an upcoming Freshman at the said school and a Tennis Prodigy. Ryoma is the son of the world renowned tennis player Samurai Nanjiro Echizen. Ryoma, after joining the tennis club as a freshman shows his potential as an amazing tennis player and was given the chance to compete against his upperclassmen to secure a spot as one of the regular players. Now Ryoma together with the other regulars are on a quest to defeat the other school's tennis club to be number 1.

This anime is probably one of my best sports themed anime. It has its ups and downs but overall this anime is great. The way the writer makes the character not overly powerful at the start made it really interesting as we watch them grow and get stronger. The story and its pacing is "A" ok. I personally don't have any negative comments about this anime until it aired the second season which involves auras and powers that made me think about the credibility of this anime. From an all sports themed anime to a semi shonen like anime with magical powers and stuff made me dislike it a little.

 Overall I'll rate this 9/10

 This includes the Second and Third series

Review on Kuragehime

This anime is a 12-episode anime produced by FUNimation Entertainment, Brains Base, Asmik Ace Entertainment. Kuragehime's storyline revolves around the daily life of Kurashita Tsukimi, a girl who loves jellyfish, living together with her geek friends at Amamizukan apartment complex wherein no boys are allowed. This anime's characters are kind who show their beauty not with their good looks but with what they really are, and how they love the way they look and become true to what they really love. The story lines are pretty cool for this anime going out in different directions and a t once point keep intersecting with one another. Kuragehime's characters are rather unique from the typical anime style drawing that we are used to some example are the afro-styled girl in the apartment. Kuragehime's characters, and the awesome storym and the simple but pretty art and the enticing music come together and create an anime that stands out among others of its kind. ...

In an unknown city, organized crime and Orgmen have flooded the land. With nowhere to escape and no one else to go to, a young girl named Mika commits herself to the revival of a great sweeper, Brandon Heat, now obtaining the alias "Beyond the Grave". With the entire city under the hands of Harry MacDowel, Beyond the Grave must put an end to the tyranny of Harry and his Organization. But can Brandon Heat point same gun at the person he once was his bestfriend? This anime is a 26 episode anime with crimes, sci-fi,actions and drama. Well to tell the you the truth just for me the first episode is kinda boring but don't be fooled by it because the other sequence will leave you hanging so catch up on our main character as he venture and deal with his amity. Though there are times where in the pacing of anime is slow and dead silence takes over we were pleased by the progsession of the story line and how you will be able to get to know each character and their r...
