maybe i am the only one that likes the Seigaku tennis players cause i dont see a thread for this series at all…

was watching the naruto episodes on a site that maybe not to mention on here, since i dont know what to mention or not, but i think they are a legal site with sorta simulcasting…anyway…

i noticed the New Prince of Tennis and it seems to be a 2012 release. good to see Ryoma, Viper, Momo, and the rest of the gang back at it. wish this has gone farther than CN took it.

good shows like this that aren’t focused on T&A not appearing in the US or being popular must mean that the NA market is still “mada mada dane”…

and i didnt even see a topic here about this, and dont think it is something TAN has or ever had so this should be the right place for it.

It was Viz that released it here. Well the first 50 episodes. Sales were really low and ratings were to . They got up to 50 episodes on Toonami Jetstream and for DVD releases. The new series is on Crunchy so. It’s all sports shows that don’t do well here. No one really knows why they just don’t.

probably because how drawn out they are for many, and the fact NOBODY ever finishes a series like prince of tennis. whow ants to buy an incomplete collection and half a story?

Hikaru No Go actually went all the way through and was a good series.

maybe the lack of females in many of the sports shows cause the lull in viewers? sad there are some good ones out there. :frowning:

Well, I loved the original series but am not a big fan of the new one. There’s a couple reasons for that. One being that there isn’t even a lot of tennis. Matches were even cut, apparently. Not that you can even call what’s going on tennis anymore. It has been a little out there for a long time but it’s a bit much now. All the new stuff seems a little one dimensional. Also not sure how well it meshes with the rest of the series.

As for sports series in general, I usually like them anyway. Can’t think of one I don’t like off hand other than The Knight in the Area. Stopped watching that after the third episode and will probably never touch it again. Usually like game series (like Hikaru no Go) as well. Haven’t managed to get past episode 8 of Cardfight!! Vanguard, though, it was just too dull.

prince of tennis is kinda old now, it’s just not as good anymore

…Sentai could always come in and release the rest as sub-only.

So they can’t just let it die, they have to drag it across the ground for 2 years or more? This is becoming pathetic like American TV the way things are being done. This is pretty much like Bleach and Inuyasha (which I still haven’t seen the ending of!). Can anyone in this world finish what they start?

Ryoma is old news, now it is all about Maruo. Too little too late for me!
