Prince of Tennis impressions

[silverthunder]

Okay, so I've watched through the 10 episodes that I've been told I have to at least get through before I decide anything about Prince of Tennis. (Although I kinda skipped episode 8 after skimming ahead to see who won)

Impressions:

1. I don't like Ryoma. I suppose you could put him just above Howard on the list of "Anime Characters I Disliked Right From the Start". He's an arrogant little prat, and the only reason I want him to win games is when his opponents are even worse than he is. I really want him to get his ass handed to him, but I suspect that'll only happen if I actually get to like the little prick some day.

2. I like Ryoma's dad even less than him. The man is a first-class asshole.

3. I also dislike Sakuno. She personifies the things people don't like about anime females - she and other characters like her are the reason people have such a low opinion of girls in anime.

4. Momoshiro is awesome. He was the series' saving grace for me, so it was probably lucky he made his appearance in episode two rather than later on. The guy is EASILY my favorite character; he's cool, he's fun, he's hot... What's not to like?

5. I also have favorable impressions of the "regulars" in general. Although with Fuji and Eiji, this could be uneducated bias, since Eiji's hair reminds me of Waya and Fuji has Kurapika's voice. I didn't want Kaidoh and Inui to lose to Ryoma, either. Bleh.

6. The episode with the vegetable juice is actually episode 9. third_requiem told me it was after 10 - pleasant surprise, I think. It was amusing.

7. sailormac told me what the more popular pairings are. Withholding judgement. Especially in Momoshiro's case, because NO ONE is good enough for him. (Okay, that's a lie, he'll be slashed as soon as it's convenient)

8. I'm going to keep watching. I expect the next few episodes to tell me whether or not I want to buy DVDs.

I often yell about sodomizing Ryouma with a racquet. :D I have no love for the kid, that is, unless he's bleeding or hurt. ^^

Momo is damned awesome, though. :D <3 He's up there in cool. X3

I'm a Yamabuki girl myself~

Though, it's funny, most of the rival teams I'm like, "I HATE YOU, DIE" at first, and then later I fall completely in love with them. :D

And yes, I was biased toward Fuji because of Kaida Yuki, but... Fuji = awesome, imho.

And did you know Inoue's seiyuu is Leorio's? XD InouexFuji=OTP! *shot* XD;;;

...and of course, Eiji=Hisoka. >_>; *sorry if you knew this already* XD;;;

I knew about Inoue's seiyuu, but didn't know about Eiji's. o_O Wow. I'll have to listen more carefully when he's in there.

*laugh* I don't think I'm going to let seiyuu pick my OTPs, but that one would've been... interesting. I've yet to see how it'd work out, but I'm sure fangirls could find a way if they wanted to. Hee.

I've been told that I'll eventually love the rival teams even though I hate them at first. I will have to wait and see, though. :)

Yeah. XD; I was like, "...Wow." over Eiji's seiyuu. I knew before hand and was muchly amused. Seiyuu roles amuse me so much. *lame*

Yeah. XD I was totally kidding about that OTP. If I did that... I'd have a few very crap OTPs. XD; More than I do. *chuckles*

*nodsnods* I was bitter and disliked Fudoumine when they first showed and now I adoooooooore them. (Heck, I even cosplayed one of them! :D)
