This dialogue lol, loved the matches, so glad the specials give them to use when the anime focused on other stuff. The attacks are awesome, The gatekeeper of Hecatoncheires, Fuurinkazan, and all the other shots, lightning and fire infused abilities.

Ah at times it seems more animation was given to the characters shirts fluttering in the wind unveiling their tummies than was given to the balls...Cant wait for the next one.

They should have just done this in the anime.
I am glad that they still animated it though.

I liked the episode, and loved the idea for these specials. It is better than some random episode. I wonder when the special 3 will get subbed...

So that's where this match was adapted! I wonder why they didn't just put this in the ova.

Holy crap we got to see a full match! Knowing the outcome of all the matches kind of sucks though. It takes some of the tension away.

Why didn't they combine the TV show with the OVA? It would have been so much better. I'm sure Prince of Tennis is popular enough to get a 26 episode TV slot.

Ahhhh that was so intense!!! I loved seeing how Sanada and Yukimura's friendship began (Sanada's blush!), and now they're facing each other on the court. Sanada was devoted to leading Rikkai to victory but now it's time that he plays for himself. Pretty impressive that he broke out of Yukimura's frightening technique. I really liked the depiction of the psychological pressure he felt, and his eventual recognition that the images of Yukimura looking down on him were his own mental creations. This really made me like Sanada a lot more.

Fuji brothers also face off. Not surprised at all at the result. These were emotionally painful matches though. I'm really glad these were shown in the specials at least, if not the show itself. I agree with the above poster that Shinteni could have been a good 26 episode show.

Nice to have these matches in a little more detail, if still pretty skimmed. It's at least better to have than not.
LOL, your opinion is wrong!
