Spoiler for possible spoiler for the old series?:

There were already 26 OVAs in which Ryoma came back to Japan and together with Seigaku competed in Nationals (and won the championship, which was stated in this first episode of New POT).

To me POT has already ended at the episode 178 of the first series. Everything released after that became more and more ridiculous to watch. Just how did they come up with those tennis moves?

Personally, I stopped caring about believability when it comes to PoT. I'm just watching/reading it for the hilarity of it... as well as the fact that despite how one-dimensional some PoT characters are, I'm a fan of some of them.

Pretty much the same reason I still find myself watching this show. There are some characters I care about, and also, those crack-filled episodes in the original series that didn't happen in the manga were hilarious, and I hope the new series has them, too.
