Tenipuri ova another story 3

[lucathia]

I am on such a Tenipuri phase right now.

...actually, this phase started back in March. Now, it's just even stronger than usual because of the new OVAs. XD;

Another story 3 is what I wish Shin Tenipuri focused on!!! New captains, fears about the future, what happens now that the third years are leaving? etc. I would rather have seen more of this than a bunch of rivals grouped together for one panel cameos. Still, I think of Shin Tenipuri as an extra...treat. No idea where it's heading at the moment. My favorite parts are still the parts where the senpai are instructing their kouhai, leaving the team to them. It's just not very prominent.


What is awesome about this OVA is that all the minor second and first years actually get some screentime.

What's even more amazing is that HORIO actually plays tennis in this. Can you imagine that? Kachirou was great too. The tennis scenes are very pretty and smooth. Wonderful quality.


Kintarou, why so cute? And look who's behind you!


Hehe, what an expression.


Ryoma was a little out-of-the-blue since he was supposedly still stuck in America, but well, I can't complain about his sudden appearance since he and Kintarou are just fantastically over the top with their rally. Rallying across a river, dashing through traffic, jumping from a bridge...no one should ever try this with real tennis. =P


My favorite part of the episode. ♥ Well, not this particular scene, but I love the idea that the senpai want to help them but don't want to end up doing everything for them, but they still end up helping anyway and both Momo and Kaidou are struggling to create a new team but can't let go of their old one.

That was one long sentence. Anyway, we get to see some more of Shitenhouji too, which is always great. We actually get to see their vice captain who no one remembers. XD;

Now I will be sad and lament that there probably won't be any more animated Tenipuri.

It breaks my heart, seriously. But yes, this episode was so much love I can't even begin to express it. BUT. Where was Ikeda? T_T I think Hayashi might have been there, but... D:

And Horio FTW ♥

And Kintarou/Ryoma ftw as well >.>

[lucathia]

Unless they ever decide to animate Shin Tenipuri, but I can't imagine how that would go with all those short scenes. Doesn't seem like it translates very well.

Ikeda and Hayashi!! *flails* I didn't even think about them. I don't actually remember how they look like. ): Woe.

Horio is looking pretty cool in this. I almost can't believe it. XD;

Their new fight is over takoyaki. XD; I am so amused that Kintarou actually calls Ryoma by his real name before switching to Koshimae. He must be doing it on purpose!!

[gottis-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. D: Which is sad.

Ikeda has blue/gray hair and freckles. Hayashi is sandy blond.

My Horio muse says that IT'S A GIVEN!!! >O

XD Which proves that he's got more of a brain than most rp-ers give him credit for. =/

[lucathia]

I need to review those first few chapters with these minor characters. It's been such a long time since I've seen them.

Your Horio must be preening. XD;

Kintarou doesn't show it much, but he can be smart!

[gottis-chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

OH HE IS. A LOT! =D

He can! ^_^

"Echizen! No, I mean, Koshimae!" XDDDDDDD

[lucathia]

XDDDDDD

Why correct yourself?? Ryoma must have been thinking that.

[lucathia]

I like that Tenipuri is continuing. I thought the fandom was pretty much dead, but in Japan, it's still going strong. I like the new series despite how it is. X3;; I probably wouldn't have liked it if I hadn't already been a Tenipuri fan, but since I am one, I enjoy seeing all the characters.

These OVAs were great. Young Rikkai and young Hyoutei were both very cool and made me wish they had more of the spotlight. Hyoutei is a bit more over the top with Atobe's wealth, haha. XD;

*flail* Can't wait to see more Kaidoh-buchou. And Arai! And others. ^_^

[lucathia]

Two thumbs up for Kaidou buchou! :D Hehe, while Momo worries his head off and asks people for advice, Kaidou trains and works up a sweat. Ah, Kaidou~

[hibimaosuki.livejournal.com]

I was LOL-ing so hard when I saw this and was seriously tempted to try rallying over a river XDDD

I WAS OVERFLOWING WITH LOVE FOR SEIGAKU IN THIS EPISODE (not that I don't already love them XD). Momo and Kaidou's contemplation about what being the number one national team really means, and that with their sempai and kouhai, they will still be number one... I NEARLY CRIED, スゲー感動しっちゃった。

[lucathia]

You would need a narrow river, lol. And a partner like Kintarou or Ryoma. Or any of the Tenipuri boys, really. Perhaps maybe not one of the power players. XD;

SEIGAKU LOOOOVE. I felt it too. I was really, really touched. ♥ Everyone wants things to work out and are trying their best! Even those minor characters!

[hibimaosuki.livejournal.com]

*pokes Arai and gets him to play*

ICHINEN AND NINEN FTW. I LOVE SEIGAKU SO MUCH.

I LOVE THE NEW TCG COMM LAYOUT [/random]

We're out of the darkness! In the light!!

Guia's banner is very cute. :)
