The Prince of Tennis~

Before reading the blog, there’s a good news from Hsieh Su-Wei(謝淑薇)and Peng Shuai(彭帥)!! They just won WTA (it’s a tournament held by WTA世界職業網球女子協會) championship three days ago (on 10/27) and Hsieh Su-Wei’s ranks become third!!!

Since midterm is approaching, let’s have an unexpected and interesting topic about tennis, The Prince of Tennis(網球王子) this week!! (I suggest that you can click this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmUCZR5Bbks to enjoy the music when reading the text!!)

This Japanese animation is originally a manga from Takeshi Konomi (許斐剛) since 1999, and still releasing. I consider most of you have watched it before or even still watching now, and, honestly, though the skill in this animation is nearly impossible to implement in real condition, I just can’t resist the charm of the incredible technique, and what’s more, I always can imagine the scene I use the Samurai drive(武士截擊) to divide  ball into half by the rope of the net.

The anime narrates the story happened around the tennis club in Seishun Academy (青春學園). The main character, Ryoma Echizen(越前龍馬) is only twelve years old, as the freshman in junior high school, he first be despised by others, yet after showing his ridiculous (not joking, how can a human being actives like this!!!???), he wins the respect and become the unprecedented first grader to get into formal team.

Well, besides the astonishing tennis skill, the cooperation and emotion between teammates really fascinated me. They help, provoke each other when facing adversity, company their teammates to help them improve, and sometimes compete with each other to sharpen up skill. They are not only teammates, but also friends will last forever. I consider it’s really a worth watching animation!
