Love the interaction between Ryoma and his dad. His dad is really funny.

I hope Ryoma will lose someday, cause it would be very boring if he continue winning all the time

Lol Tomoko and Shiba arguing... Ryoma debuts his one-footed split step which will be one of his signature moves.

Solid episode but the pacing of the match could have been better. Would have also liked to see more of the other team members, they must have been trying to save on budget by only having Fuji and Inui speak.. Kaidou was there too but didn't hear a peep from him.

The OP and ED is so nostalgic to hear❤

The transition from the end of the episode to the ending song was perfect. I still find a discord from the starting of the episode though. I hated it from the start, but I hate that "Ryoma-sama" girl. It's times like this where I wish that she'd just LEAVE along with Sakuna for all I care.

The end of this episode was intense as hell.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That female journalist is so annoying, she should stop acting like a pedo.

lolwat, is this for real? His secret technique was simply getting into a ready position between shots? That's one of the most basic principles of tennis—seriously, it's one of the first things every beginner learns. It's not at all unusual to bound off of one foot upon landing. That's how starting a sprint works!! Energy is stored in your leg as it bends and compresses and then you spring off of it. It's only natural to have most your weight centered on one leg as you land and exit the ready position. Sure, it takes a lot of practice for it to become second nature, but the way they're prophesying his "technique" is beyond ridiculous.

And it's not like I'm expecting to see realism here, seeing how this is essentially a tennis-based battle shounen, but a little bit of common sense would be appreciated. All things considered though, this anime is entertaining as hell.

Also, as a side note, it's sad how there's such a serious shortage of tennis anime. God damn Japan and its god damn obsession with baseball!

This match against Sadaharu is drawn out and boring. It's legit making me lose interest in the show.

The tennis isn't super saiyan mode (like I hear later episodes in the series become - how lame), but it certainly doesn't care about tennis accuracy (just look at the player placement for serving and returning serves, or where the ball actually land on serves, etc., let alone the "snake shot"). I'd prefer it be more realistic.

There's also been very little non-tennis content, like school or Sakuno relationship, etc. I just need a little something "more" if the tennis is gonna be slow. Maybe a little comedy? Idk, something.

Probably giving this a 6/10 so far, down from 7/10 after this snooze fest Sadaharu match.
