Enjoy watching people play sports and have them use "powers" to help them win their matches? Eyeshield 21 and Prince of Tennis each contain their share of "strive to become the best player". They're also not very realistic, in that many characters achieve extremely difficult/amazing skills. Whether you like or don't like either sport, you'll still enjoy the "become the best" parts in both.

PoT and KnB can be considered somehow similar:
- both are shonen series of sports genre (despite PoT deals with tennis, while KnB deals with basketball)
- both are about good friendships and the importance of the teamwork in order to win
- among all the sports series, both of those are between the most commercial ones and very likeable stories.
- the characters in both of them have "special techniques/powers" who make everything even more interesting
- still, both are quite addicting, have a gorgeous art style and a very skilled cast of seiyuus.

Despite being about two different sports as you'll have a chance to see, they have some important points in common!
If you liked one of those, give a try to the another as well! It will worth it!
Highly recommended both, they are great series.
they're both über addictive and the stories both have substance. coO_Oolness!!!
they're both sports anime, and really humorous

While the skills of the main characters are on opposite ends (one being pro quality and the other a beginner), both series follow the road to the top. Both series give great history on the designated sport so if you're unfamiliar with it, things will be explained throughout each episodes. Comedy is also thrown in every once in a while. Don't like sports? Don't worry, you don't have to!

Well, the aura of competition and the amazing abilities of the main character seem to be the same. The progression in revealing the character and skills of the main character seems to be the same, as well. The main differences are that One Outs is much more adult in content and tone, and we're dealing with more of a team sport since it's about baseball rather than tennis. The characters in One Outs are much more adult-looking as well, but I believe some people (OK, I mean women especially) can definitely find something to feast their eyes on! In addition there's quite a bit about gambling, both in the strict sense, and as a personality trait.
Both title's are sport related ... while Dan Doh is about golf, Prince of Tennis well you guess ;)
In both animes the main characters are gifted in that sport that they play, and they geting better and better, we can say they are prodigy's.
Other than that they use various super powers while thay play, and also calling their attacks like "bullet dragon" and "cyclone smash" etc ...
But as they play in tournament's they make friends and rivals, who helps them later on.
Both animes are extremely over-exaggerated and unrealistic with their techniques, but you know what... who cares!!! They are extremely fun, enjoyable, and very easy to get into. It feels like you're watching Dragonball Z and Sports coming together as one.
Both anime is based on teams trying to get into the nationals by defeating other schools.
And they both got in the nationals
Both are series about middle school kids playing tennis and aiming for the Nationals. Prince of Tennis is about boys' tennis, while Softenni is about girls' soft tennis.

Both have different sports that are placed in a new light.
If you like Sport anime, I highly recommend watching Whistle!
Oofuri is a sports Anime... It's about Baseball.. While Prince ot Tennis, like the name tells us all, is about Tennis.

And as real Prince of Tennis fan I can say that the sense of humor (and especially the gay moments..) in both series are very similiar, sometimes even the same.

Ookiku Furikabutte offers lots and lots of awesome characters who develope their personalities over the series and who you learn to love and hate, and so does the Prince of Tennis.

In any case, it's both worth watching it!

Ryoma (PoT) and Takumi (Initial D) are pretty much the same person. One plays tennis and one is a street racer, but they're both aloof prodigies that pull out new miracle techniques whenever they need to, who were privately groomed by their "retired" fathers. ;) So even though the sport, setting and animation styles differ dramatically, if you liked the basis of the story or the main character in one, you'd probably like th other.
both of these animes have sports in them but princess nine is like the more feminine style. they both have two extraordinary players who are comitted to their playing. one plays tennis while the other baseball.princess nine has a little bit more romance in it. you would have to like sports, school life, action and a little bit of romance to enjoy both these animes.
The same type of anime, characters, atmosphere only it's about tennis !
I think 100 of the people who like Major will love PoT!
prince of tennis and major are very interesting animes since its center plot is about sports, and not just any sport, but the best sports in the world(tennis and baseball). if you want an inspiring anime with a lot of cute guys then you must try this. it will never let you down, every episode is very good, i must say its a masterpiece.
there both about sports even if this ones soccer and P.O.T is about tennis
both try to achieve their dream to become a professional soccer/tennis player and try to lead their team to win the national. also both have to overcome their difficult pf facing many different teams. both player are very talented and have many potential to become stronger....
Both animes are centered around sports. The main character is male. Both become stronger throughout the anime.
Ciel and Ryoma are very similar personalitywise
The characters all have similar personalities to each other. There's a sadist, an energetic guy, a conceited guy, a wimp, and more.

Both are sports and have a younger member trying to reach the top. Also the lead is very talented and determined; people just seem to be so amazed.

The music sounds similar, sometimes the animation seems similar.

Only difference is that Fly High is a little less dramatic and shorter.
dear boys similar to prince of tennis, b/c they are both based on sports, and they have the same competitive work hard spirit. in dear boys the sport is basketball, but like in prince of tennis it has the character building in the premise of the story. if you like prince of tennis you will like dear boys.
The character stereotypes are the same, and even the designs are similar. Otherwise, they are shows with a great amount of good looking guys engaging in school activities.
Both have sports teams that work together led by a small child prodigy.
Although quite different in nature, active sports against strategic table game, but the anime is very similar in intensity, and its ability to capture one's interest.
It starts out differently, a boy beginning from scratch in playing Go, with direction and support of divine nature. But as the story goes on, the character is discovering his own talents trying both to beat his main opponent, his teacher, and discover his own strengths.
Very similar to the Prince of Tennis in a way the games are set up. Matches remind us of duels and the opponents striving for their win, coming up with their techniques, new moves and ways to surprise and beat each other.
It's a great anime, not quite as long, but not a second of it I found wasted when I was watching.
They're both sporty anime, about the main character getting stronger physically and mentally as the story progresses. Of course, the main characters happen to become friends with amazing people who help them in their process of getting better in their sport. Both have good humor.

They both have the same story about tennis, a freshmen joining tennis club and reach their goal to the top.
Both are sports anime with a prodigy as a main character. Both protagonists, Goro and Ryoma, are in middle school.
