Hopefully it's decent. It's been way too long since I watched anything PoT related, so I'm looking forward to this.

A Movie eh? I wonder what they're gonna cook up this time.
To be honest the one movie I watched felt like it had some issues due to the format, but hmm...

Oh PoT. This was probably the most unexpected series I was thinking of getting a new series. It's nice to see an old favorite get back out there. I got a big feeling this one is going be another inhumanly possible antics film like the others xD Welp looking forward to seeing the tenipuri fam again (:

After all this time, I've only found out now that Prince of Tennis is actually abbreviated into Tenipuri.

As much as I like Prince of Tennix, the movies are an abomination. They have gone too far with the supernatural thing now, that it no longer is entertaining. I know that in the 'Shin' series, it gets ridiculous, but still not on the movie level.

Then, if they're gonna make a movie, why not have it take place during the 'Shin' series, instead of having it during the empty period between the first series and the new series.

I'll still watch it though. XD

I thought the movie was going to be based off the Jump Festa poster at first. XD

Good job for Konomi-san!

Oh boy, bet they can't beat Tezuka causing the dinosaurs to go extinct from the first movie
Either way, my body is ready <3

Side Note: Will not be able to unhear Echizen as Ren from Super Lovers

Based on the poster, it gives off the Sengoku vibe.
