I am talking about "The New Prince of Tennis" which is the sequel to the main series "Prince of Tennis".

Jesus, I've been wanting to watch the original series for years now and thought the franchise was over.

They have not fully animated "The New Prince of Tennis". It ended right before the u-17 world cup. Still hoping for the anime sequel.

Tennis no Ouji-sama: Best Games!! is not out yet. I've been waiting for it but there is no news. MAL says it is currently airing but there is no episodes anywhere.

Also I don't get why would they animate something that happened after u-17 world cup without animating the world cup first...
