| Wished they continued a little bit more to the part where they meet at least the top 20 Japan representatives. They left it at an unsatisfying part, but it was good. I hate the parts where they skipped good battles, this continuation could have had more episodes that way. Somebody please change it to finished airing so I my list can finally say it is completed! |

| So is New Prince of Tennis over? Was that supposed to be 13 ep series or is it still continuing since it say "Currently Airing" in the Status? Will there be another ep or just a 2nd season? someone please answer me by msg ☺ |
| It will continue, but not right now. |
| It felt like "Training Arc: The Anime" everything so inconclusive :/ it had so much potential. |

| What was the point of animating this, seriously? 3/10 |
Solkiskey said: What was the point of animating this, seriously? 3/10 When it was announced in the manga, I was definitely screaming because: THE MATCHES WERE GOOD. In the manga that is. But srsly one episode (no... LESS THAN ONE EPISODE) per game? Seriously? And they skipped a lot of matches D: |
| The problem was that they rushed it all. They shouldn't have tried to put in so much in so few episodes. What MADE the previous series of Prince of Tennis epic was that they had FULL matches rather than screen shots of points and game scores. They concentrated too much on the training aspect of things and then left the anime at a point where people feel disappointed because the epic part of the manga is what is coming up. 3/5 for series :( |
| I was so looking forward to watching this but...blah is all i have to say.... |
"I am the bone of my sword, Steel is my body and Fire is my blood, I have created over a thousand blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life, Have withstood pain to create many weapons, Yet, those hands will never hold anything, So as I pray, unlimited blade works" |
| i couldnt believe this was the last ep. so rushed... they shoulda just ended the prince of tennis anime after the national tournament. or like make it into a 26 ep season at least like bakuman.. 2/10. too fast. |

| Super super super!!!! Довольна всем, от начала и до конца. Конечно, серии затянуты, ноэ то роли не играет. Рисовка шикарная, всё, как надо. Спасибо большое за второй сезон. Thanx a lot. |
| i can't believe people here are rating this anime low JUST because of the number of episodes and it was rushed....and people are not used to the fact that they ALWAYS cut parts from the manga when they make it into anime yet?? xD |

Considering this is a sports anime i'd like to see some well done matches, instead of shitty drama and pointless training sequences. |
| if those were middle schoolers *especially sanada since he look wayyy older than middle school* , then what does it make characters like lucky star or those childish characters that's in elementary or middle school?...........dotdotdot...think about it ;p |

| I liked it. It feels unfinished, though. The first series was much better - at least they went all the way to the end of the manga. |
| As a Prince of Tennis fan, I believe that the whole thing will be animated. So far, all I can see that is considered a filler in season 1 would be the Junior Senbatsu arc. Some other so called fillers still are relevant to the main plot. Season 2 have a more detailed Mountain training arc (which is good because it needs extra explanation into why they are able to take court 2) and it is also the main part of the series (nothing wrong here). The only thing that is rageable will be the two matches that were skipped (Krauser singles and Kirihara/Shiraishi doubles match) but there are reasons for such decisions (maybe include budget problems too). Both matches have a great deal of violence and negative atmosphere would be a good explanation as to why these episodes are not aired. Reading the manga AND the second season would be a good way to know the story as a whole. From what I observed, Prince of Tennis Series always gives more to the viewers than other animes (Another Story series and a full animated version of the Nationals and a more complete Mountain Training arc). I believe that as long as we remain patient we, as Prince of Tennis fans, will get everything we can almost ask for at the end. |
| Dissapointed at all the boring training episodes, but I still have some hope for this series. |
| In my part, I was really excited with all of these new episode. Graphism was a way great than older episodes, and the story is really good. Obviously I'm frustrated of this end, and that why I will right now run for read the manga/scans. I hope Soonly we can have an another adaptation. |

| The quality of the matches are shit compared to the predecessor. I also felt a lot of homo-vibe in this one (no homo). 7/10 |
 |
| This whole series was easy to watch but quite mediocre. No real story, no games on life and death, like in Ashita no Joe. I guess it's hard to develop larger than life characters over just 13 episodes, but I still think they could have used them more wisely. I will forget most of this series quite soon. Plus for this being a male-only series, and for spreading a good morale about fighting spirit and gangbarism to Japanese boys. And for Echizen-kun's beautiful voice. |
| this series is unsatisfying need the next season asap! |
| Right Saver? Is it meant to sound like "lightsaber" LOL Man, Sanada gives the best speeches. He's more of a captain than a vice-captain. Tokugawa didn't even get that much of a character lol. Overall I liked it, though it was short for 13 episodes. But I would've preferred that they made it one ep per match, like in the nationals OVAs because I really wanted to see my favorites play. |
 |
| So much better than the whole Nationals arc. The whole "hit 10 balls at once" thing is somewhat realistic if compared to Tezuka's door of perfection or all that cloning shit. My only big complaint is that there was too much training and not enough matches. The OP sequence showed us fabulous animation but they didn't really show those matches in the actual show. Big highlight for me was the amazing art and animation. SOOOO good. I didn't think the guys were that good looking in the prequels but they were in this series. I also thought the comedy and character development were better here. (especially the episode with Oishi vs Eiji) Might read the manga afterwards, but after this redeemed the supernatural bullshit from the Nationals arc, consider me back into a fan of PoT. BTW, Inui's mummy costume...Every time I see it, I burst out laughing. |
| I wonder how the dude held eight balls in his hand to serve... |
| I walk a lonely road because everyone else fell off |
Clement said: I wonder how the dude held eight balls in his hand to serve... PoT has no logic whatsoever |
| What an unsatisfying ending!! I need to see more!!! Why are there only 13 episodes (I know, because the manga is just released as well but) TT______TT Kinda sad to see Tezuka leaving, wonder if he'll appear again somewhere in the series.. Just a question though, is Yukimura not part of court 3 (former court 5)? He wasnt there on the benches during the court 5 versus (former) court 3 match... Though I think Yukimura is already beyond that of the level of the other high schoolers there, maybe except for Tezuka. Would've loved to see more Yukimura matches. Want to see more Ryoma in action! And the others as well in matches between the middle schoolers versus the court 1 guys! Really want and need a sequel of this!!! Edit: wait a second, there's already a sequel (OVA) and it's ongoing?? But where can i watch it? O_____O |

| Minna, if you want to see the detailed matches of the parts that you are unsatisfied in the New Prince of Tennis anime, then here is the link to it: http://www.animenova.tv/category/the-new-prince-of-tennis There are the continuation of the NPOT's 13 episode series which are the OVAs of the NPOT (New Prince of Tennis Specials). But please be reminded that those episode haven't been subbed yet... so just bear with it. :D |

| Not a bad season overall. I wish we got to see more matches though. During the National Tournament we got one match per episode. It's too bad this wasn't 26 episodes. It looks like the OVAs are next. |
| Seems like the author lost track of the direction of this series. The original anime had much better character development and story, which made it very enjoyable. It started becoming kinda random in the nationals arc and now with the hitting multiple balls it's getting further and further away from tennis. |
| Glad to see that the Black Jerseys took in charge of the Court 2. While the players in the opposing courts are competing, it seems like Ryoma took a step further by challenging Tokugawa again xD IMO, this season is inferior in comparison with the old series (though much better than the National Tournament), but it's still enjoyable on its own. I'mma go ahead and watch the specials and OVAs~ 7/10 |
