Oh my gosh, yes. It was entertaining...but it still stupid.

*points to the above posts* How can you not like the chibi episodes?? V__V I LUV THEM! Since the Prince of Tennis series is waay to much to burn off my computer, I only burn the good fillers and the chibi episodes. It's more fun that way neh?

By the way... I really hate Kirihara. I can't wait to see Fuji kick his @ss. ^__^

Yes, the doubles matches against Rikkaidai were butchered from the manga version. Golf swing wasn't in the manga. The move Niou (Golf Swing Guy) used was called "The Laser Beam." And that move looked a lot better. Here's what it looks like:

Spoiler:

Niou is known as the "Trickster of the courts"(for good reason) in the manga.
Inui's match was done fairly accurately. Not sure about Fuji or Echizen's matches.

red x there....


anyways, the manga's singles 2 and 1 are so much better then the anime's version... Fuji's game in the manga is crazy and soo much better. And I think I mentioned this before but,
minor spoiler

Spoiler:

The thing Ryoma uses at the end of the anime match is something he had from the begining of the manga match.

I've a question when should I watch the Prince of Tennis special A day of the survival mountain? Is it between a certain episode or can I watch any moment I want.

[Prince of Chronics]

I watched that special at around episode 85 or something like that... I don't think it matters too much when you watch it... nothing major happens... just your usual standard PoT non-tournament/filler episode...

[Prince of Chronics]

Everytime I watch an episode of Prince of Tennis, I can't help but get irritated at all the useless side-comments from everyone... granted, it's there to stretch out the matches... but it's damn annoying!

Spoiler:

Akihara is pretty crazy.... luckily, he doesn't have any bs or soft moves... I like how he's crazier that than white haired pale guy that Echizen played against before... the crazy guys make the matches more entertaing cuz it seems like a life or death fight... Fuji didn't play too bad himself... but constantly getting nailed at the knees must hurt... I'm quite confident in Fuji taking this one and hopefully he'll bust out some techniques in the next episodes... I'm expecting his usual triple counter stuff... but it would be more exciting if he pulled out some secret attacks or something...

[dannylu88]

one thing i dont get is... every time kirihara hits his knees... its with a smash.... but isnt the purpose of one of fuji's counters the higuma otoshi a counter for the smash???

so why he just doesnt bust that out

No doubt... that is true... the Higuma Otoshi was made for that situation... but... I think Akihara is getting Fuji in a vulnerable position... he makes Fuji come to the net and makes sure that the only shot that Fuji can do is a soft lob... then he quickly jumps up and smashes it to his knees... it's either that... or it's written that way for dramatic content...

[ShikaShika]

I haven't seen the episode but from the sounds of it, I think I can explain why Fuji doesn't prevent it. It's a mild spoiler though... maybe... from a scene that was in the manga that didn't make it to the anime (takes place before these games).

Spoiler:

Before the Rikkaidai matches Echizen challenges Kirihara, and Kirihara does all those smashes to Echizen's knee. It seems this has been moved to the Kirihara vs Fuji game with no concideration taken to Fuji's counters. (At least regarding this particular smash.) In fact, in the manga Fuji (out to avenge Echizen, since he suspects Kirihara is behind Echizen's bruised knee) mimmicks Kirihara's "knee smash" making Kirihara protect his knee thus revealing himself as the perpetrator. But Kirihara never uses it on Fuji.

3. Rikkaidai pulls a "switcheroo"
4. The godly "Laser"....not some stupid golf swing

Yeah, you're right. I just watched episodes 120-121, trying to catch up. Doubles 1 was way better in the manga. They left out a ton of stuff. Dissapointing. They changed the "one shot, one kill" laser beam shot to some retarded golf swing. That was just bad. I don't see why they made these changes.

Also they made Kikamaru a whiny brat in the anime. He wasn't at all one in the manga.

[Spooky-Electric]

Just finished watching episode 125 and the match between Fuji and Kirihara has ended. They made some changes from the manga I was again kinda dissapointed about.

Spoiler for Anime/Manga comparisons for Fuji/Kirihara match:

Some changes I didn't like. They didn't have Kirahara realize "self actualization" and start using all these other players moves. He did Echizen's twist serve but that was it. Dissapointing.

Also, they didn't have Fuji get hit in the face and lose his vision. Instead he gets hit in the knee twice.

Oh, and Fuji's sister is so hot.

[Raiii]

yay

*prepares WTF flags for when episode 126 is released*

Spoiler:

Well, Fuji plays with his eyes closed anyway!!! So what's the big deal?!?

[kamij0]

Its getting boring..................................
Finally echizen is going to play but guess it'll be a boring match too.
I'm waiting for episode 140.

Spoiler for for episode 140:

tezuka coming back

[Spooky-Electric]

Echizen's match in the manga is awesome. But if they make more changes like they've been doing, it might turn out boring.

[unwill]

I got a question,

The last shoot Fuji did, a shoot that bounces back to his hand. Doesnt that mean the oppononent returned it and hit Fujis hand. And that should have been Kiriharas point right ?

Well, ignoring the fact that it's utterly impossible to do it in real life, Kirihara
didn't hit it back with his racket, so it didn't count in his favor. Think of it as
bouncing off the court, but it's the opponent's court side.
