This probably ranks among my 10 favorite adaptation announcements in anime, no exaggeration. Baby Steps really is tremendous - I did play tennis and I appreciate how accurate the series is in depicting it. But it also has a terrific main character, and excellent understated romance and a good deal of wit. It's fantastic.
I'm surprised, but mostly because my tastes rarely overlap with what gets adapted and what gets multiple seasons - in its own terms, Baby Steps is actually very popular and it was always a decent candidate to get an anime sooner or later.

That's pretty nice to hear since Tennis is probably my favourite sport. |

Two bad signs for this anime: Studio Pierrot and original content.

Not very often do you hear an announcement telling you there will be filler.... I fully agree with Utsuro. Baby Steps has been running since 2007 and there's over 200 chapters of content available. The romance is slow, but everything else is executed perfectly. As far as I'm concerned, unless the anime original stories feature more of Ei-chan and Natsu together, they really have no place in the adaption.

Pierrot's only redeeming quality is that they often animate long-running series, but if it's only going to be 25 episodes and filled with fillers then there's no point. I'm not going to write this off completely yet but my expectations are very low. I'll add the manga to my backlog instead.
