Here's what Prince of Tennis has been doing after the TV anime ended in spring 2005:

* Two movies were released to theaters and on DVD: "Futari no Samurai The First Game" and "Atobe Kara Okurimono" (a short movie that screened with "Futari no Samurai")
* Radio Show "Tennis no Oujisama on the Radio" (Rajipuri) is still going weekly and is almost to their 150th weekly show.
* Character vocal CD singles/albums are still being released. There's at least one new one per month. This December/January's CDs are:
----"Progress": a Ryoma mini-album featuring a Christmas song with mangaka Konomi Takeshi (12/24)
---- "Musical Tennis no Oujisama Best Actor Series" volume 001 and 002. These are Tezuka and Atobe albums, but sung by the guys who played Tezuka and Atobe in the latest Prince of Tennis musical. (12/19)
---- "Brand New Days" by the 3Guava Trio (Marui Bunta, Akutagawa Jiroh, and Aoi Kentarou). This song was featured in the PoT movie "Atobe Kara Okurimono". (1/1)
---- "Go Go Meganes" by the MEGANEs (megane means glasses). This is a strange group made up of Tezuka Kunimitsu, Inui Sadaharu, and Oshitari Yuushi. (1/1)
---- "Bokutachi no Shippai" by the Seigaku Freshmen. The thought of Horio singing makes me cry a little inside.... ^^; (1/1)

* Prince of Tennis musicals are still going strong and continuing this winter. "Imperial Match Hyotei" winter version will play live in Japan in January. There were three musicals performed/released on DVD in 2005. (Yamabuki, Hyotei, and the comedy concert Dream Live 2nd). The Hyotei musical was amazing!!
* Live Action movie coming out next year, featuring many members of the PoT musical's cast (including former cast). Some of the actresses in the movie are J-Pop singers. o_o
* OVA "Tennis no Oujisama: Zenkoku Taikai Hen" vol. 1, an OVA episode featuring the Nationals matches, comes out on DVD in Japan in March 2006 (unless they change the release date). Rumors say that this OVA will be 7 volumes long.
* Manga is at volume 31 in volume form. Continuing strong in weekly Shonen Jump!
* Konami has released a LOT of video games for this series. They're very fun! The newest game comes out this month and is a festival/dating sim.

Prince of Tennis is so great. ^_^ Always has a billion things going on at once. If you only keep up with the TV anime, you're missing out!
