LOL yeah I don't like his random rooster thing he's got going on with his hair but you'll get used to it. I don't even realize it's there anymore after reading so many chapters.

Finally~ I've just read the manga and really enjoying it
This is one of the most realistic sport manga without super moves. And the way they explain the tennis itself is pretty stimulating

Honestly it's one of my favorite manga, but I can't really see it doing good as an anime. First off, it starts off way too slow, and at best they'd manage to get in some romance in the last episode, assuming it gets 20+ episodes.

A slow start is only a problem if the anime could end before it starts to get good and

So the rumor was true after all.

And the most important thing to note is that it is a NHK ANIME. This could mean that the anime getting 2 or more cour.

The romance is sweet and natural. In terms of sports, it's very technical, those who like realistic sports anime will enjoy it.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I guess it is the kind of sakuga we should expect from a NHK anime...

Pffft.. the manga has almost 200 chapters and they still decide to go with fillers?
Why.. why D':

Deep in my heart i wish they make the art more detailed. Also, this will be a good series if they don't screw it up with fillers.

I don't read the manga but I don't understand....

When you have so many chapters to adapt why go with anime original material?

New content is a selling point for many people (hardcore purists only make up a certain segment of the potential audience). It gives manga readers a reason to try the anime.

Occasionally, original material has been strategically employed to expand readership. For instance, the extra romance scenes in Bakuman Season 1 were intended to draw in teenage girls. This proved to be successful.

BODY IS READY... although it is a real shame that it's mostly going to be filler content. It still would have been better to follow the manga faithfully singing as it has 200+ chapters. Ah well, nevertheless I'm still excited for a Baby Steps anime. :D

Oh, yay! I quite like the manga so hoping the anime will turn out good. Also, it'd be nice to see what a more realistic tennis anime would look like.

Hmm I was full out excited hearing it was getting an anime, but uneasy with the original plot stuff. There is a ridiculous amount of material in the manga so not like they need to do that. I suppose it's less worrisome of the writer is involved in this, I just wonder what the plan is? They plan to go off the rails with a self-contained series?

Oh well will cross fingers that they don't screw this up. I really enjoyed the manga and was hoping it'd get its anime chance at some point.

So "yeah!" on the news, "eh" on the original stuff.

Not always, but chances are higher. And chances for 2nd season are also higher even if its BD/DVD do not sell well - examples include Letter Bee, Phi Brain.

It will probably be screwed.

But hey that means what? We can read the manga and watch the anime and still see different things, probably.
