    Since some time this video was not working, doesn't play, I uploaded it on my own account. You can check it out here. As I said already several times, if anyone has problems with this, just mention and I'll take it down.

    I liked the video, I never understood why anybody could like this series, and now I understand why I never will.

    You should probably chack over the image parts, it blacks out for a moment every so oftern

    Oh hell yeah!

    I love your reviews, Y. They finally give me a clear vision of the manga genre.

    Great review.
    Keep them coming :)

    I decided to leave prince of tennis quite quickly after I started reading it.

    I just didn’t see anything interesting in it, and I always thought that this show was just big pile of fan service to the girls.
    Now that may not be such a bad thing if it did have other things to go for, but I really doubt that this thing had them. Not enough at least.

    And the really [i]great[/i] thing is that this thing has a sequel now, New Prince of Tennis.
    Now how much would you like to read that?

    I actually read and owned the series up to volume 27. I stopped after it since I found it completely unfulfilling and it was really uninteresting. I also dropped the series for a better sports series, which was Real.

    good review but... wtf with the blinking images?

    whats bad is that you are making this series look interesting. :(

    like your show keep up the good work :)
  • Condorel
    That was wonderful, thank you sir!

    I've got to say, there are a lot of 'ranters' on this site, and they're all very entertaining, but you honestly look like blood is on the verge of coming out of your ears. Damn, you are one angry guy.

    Anyway, I've always thought quality counts more than quantity, as long as your shows keep being this good take as much time as you need to make them.

    Cheers.

    Well from what i can tell, POT just "shonen-ized" tennis just like most other sports-manga and anime do.
    Eyeshield 31 is a good example of that, and even captain tsubasa had a lot of scratch-your-head moments.
    But for some rason, i have a hard time seeing anything related to tennis as "badass". Especially when the cast consists only of girly looking pretty boys.

    I guess you can't expect too much from a story that is focused solely on a sport like tennis. If the characters didn't come over as whiney bastards I could probably appreciate the DBZ-esque style of tennis.

    Setounet and I have the same problem. Why is there blinkings in the manga panels? Doesn't effect the review but jjust a bit distracting

    How the crap can a hat do that when you through something?

    Man those things were lame. C'mon, samurai aura? Thats so stupid.

    It's nice to finally see that someone else shares my opinion on this god-awful manga. I really hate this series, and I can't understand how it went on for so long without someone realizing just how bad it was.
  • Con
    Ha ha ha, oh wow, they actually made [i]musicals[/i] based off of this piece of crap?
  • MPSai

    Oh the Japanese make musicals about everything. Hell there's a Phoenix Wright musical.
  • TheHeroOfTomorrow

    A Phoenix Wright musical? That's awesome! lol I have to see that someday.
  • some dumb kid
    almost 400 chapters? jeez who read this? oh yeah teenage girls. hey could you take a look at one of my favorite mangas, hellsing? i would love to see what you think about it!
  • pronemortalform
    You need to get more videos on here, we need to fill the gap Suede left in the site when he left.

    Also, this is all I ever needed to see from Prince of Tennis:

    haha I love your reactions... and yes prince of tennis is dumb XD but I do admit I watched a few episodes of the anime, and I HATE Ryoma (sp?) the little bastard is annoying and unsensitive X_x
  • goldman
    avatar
    that was awesome! :woohoo:
    i have been waiting for you to post something earlier man!
    please make sure the next one doesn't take so long :P

    nah, just kidding, there's no rush(kinda :whistle: )

    anyway, what's the deal with the "state of self actualization?" it sounds more like what should happen after puberty...

    About your commentary on the other team having a stronger premise to follow, I wholeheartedly agree. I feel like various serials suffer the same issue, including Naruto.

    In all seriousness, I feel Naruto would be better with the other teams (preferably Team Guy) as the central protagonists and Naruto's group as plot-driving rivals, having the world go to crap and the main heroes only indirectly tied to these issues.

    I noticed in some parts of the video the screen faded in and out at random intervals.

    I hear ya man. I haven't been able to finish my own video series and I started out in May! How that guy with the glasses does it I'll never know. Hang in there Y Ruler of Time.
  • MPSai
    avatar
    YAY! You finally updated! I hope you have more videos more regularly as time goes on.

    :D Oh man, when I saw the video on the recent uploads list I said to myself "holy shit he's still going on about Prince of Tennis?" You poor poor man. I never had the slightest interest in this series but your rants about it are fantastic.
  • Richard Wesker
    My friend at work loves the anime series. It never really looked interesting to me, honestly. I tend to stick with horror, social commentary (such as Battle Royale and Ikigami: The Ultimate Limit) and sc-fi when it comes to manga and anime.
  • Xin  - Hey review...
    uh TheXell you failed.

    I think you should review Eyeshield 21. (not 31 .___.) A good sports shonen anime/manga. The manga just finished a while ago : D
  • DaniusKang
    Its good to know your not dead. And a good review to come back on as well.

    That said, that thing were the comics kept blacking out was kinda annoying... :P
  • silver_fox
    Ah, I read a promo chapter in a shonen collection book. Thank you for confirming my suspicions about this series.

    For an interesting set-up squandered, I'd recommend Vampire Doll, which could have been so much better. It also has one of the most hilarious/offensive/plain stupid representations of gay people. EVER. It's one of the dumbest things you'll see.
    Also, definitely review Claymore, although I can see you disliking Raki.

    TENNIS IS HARDCORE!!

    great review, though the blinking pictures....yeeah

    Technical issues aside, nice video!

    Does anyone else think "State of Self-Actualization?" sounds like a series of motivational tapes?

    Good to see a new video from you. Hope you get a better schedule going ;]
    And as already mentioned look into fixing the blackouts during the transitions.

    1:40-2:30 I think the same way about Code Geass :lol:

    Y Ruler of Time I really like your videos they're really enjoyable despite technical issues.
