Prince of Tennis impressions
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.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 don't adore Ryoma. At all. But I guess that could change...
Inui Juice was very funny. :) Inui is awesome.

Which is really strange that he becomes so close to Momo but I think that's because Ryoma really needs a friend and Momo is...MOMO! He's the type that balances out Ryoma's stubborness and makes him think of things besides tennis and beating his dad. Momo forces Ryoma to have fun and be a kid and I think Ryoma likes his company because of that.
