Prince of Tennis

As I have known, every teen in the Philippines has heard of an ANIME and has his or her own favorite. Well first, what is an anime? Anime is the Japanese abbreviated pronunciation of "animation." In English-speaking countries, anime refers to a style of animation originating in Japan, characterized by colorful graphics and often featuring themes intended for an adult audience.

My favorite anime is called the PRINCE OF TENNIS. The series is primarily set in Tokyo, and centers around Ryoma Echizen, a tennis prodigy who attends Seishun Gakuen or Seigaku for short, a private school famous for its strong tennis club and talented players. Ryoma quickly defeats numerous upperclassmen shortly after entrance to secure himself a spot as one of the team's regulars. In pursuit of their ultimate goal of winning the National Middle School Tennis Championship, members of the team make new friends while learning and mastering increasingly complex techniques. Ryoma also begins to develop his own style of tennis, and eventually realizes what the sport really means to him.

I love this anime because it’s unique and it talks about sports. Although, I admit that it is kind of make believe because its characters’ moves are impossible to copy in real life. Well, what do you expect? It’s an anime. Nothing could go wrong. Anyways, I want this because of the plot too. It talks about real friendship and talents in the game. Umm… it also talks about how to live a life like a prodigy in tennis, or something like that.
