![]() A flooding cruise ship.Īs it turns out, the anime I once remembered as being normal was not without the fancy “attacks,” brooding, and “power level” nonsense shounen is both loathed and loved for. I met an upperclassman with a love-hate relationship with the show and she showed me not one, but two insane clips of later episodes involving someone summoning a meteor (in fact, the very meteor that killed the dinosaurs) and another with a tennis match on a cruise ship of all things. Like other shounen, this show is built on our protagonist’s personal growth as an athlete and as a teammate during tournament arcs, such being the norm for sports anime, but with that said…it also spans one-hundred and seventy-eight episodes. ![]() I decided to share The Prince of Tennis with my tennis-inclined best friend at the time and we enjoyed the first few episodes despite her favoring live-action fare in general. ![]() I remember borrowing a copy of the first season from my local library (back when anime was still relatively new in the States) and thinking it was decent. My naive elementary/middle school self used to think The Prince of Tennis was just your average anime series about sports.
