Damn, Ryoma is really dominating everybody. Even with that shitty racket he beat the crap 'outta that guy. He seems kind of stuck up to me though, and the captain of the Tennis team seems like kind of a bitch.

Side Note: I like Ryoma's hat.
I'm back.

He does seem stuck up. Am really surprised by this kind of main character. Usually in such anime the main character is someone very nice who tries really hard and has a hidden talent that has to develop.
But this guy looks already too powerful and his not very nice or sympathetic. He no bullie but his kind of smartass. It's the kind of guy that annoys people. Too perfect and having too big of an idea about himself.
Also he seems inhuman. He completely lacks emotional responses in his face.

Sasabe is still an idiot.

Also, some of the regulars' voices (watching it in Japanese) seem weird.

Ryoma's stuck-up-ness is supposed to be comic relief though I think because he says it so matter-of-factly and it's also supposed to be ironic coming from the "rookie". Also a lot of times he doesn't even realize he's being callous which is also funny.

personally,
I don't think he's stuck up but
confident as well he should be.
confident and doesn't brag about
it 'cause he doesn't need to,
it's obvious.

He's just very confident and says things bluntly. Which comes off as stuck-up I guess. :/ I think he really just has no tact/does not realize how to say things in a more considerate way. lol

The regulars look really cool, they remind me of the regulars from DiaAce a bit. It's just so amusing watching Ryoma make fools out of everyone.

Prick, he keeps picking on Ryoma... I'm uncomfortable with the way the episode just cuts into the next without a smooth transition. Fuji ;v; Lmaooo when the other freshman's racket dropped from seeing Ryoma hit it into the basket, me too, me too.

Captain seems like a pretty cool dude.

And I really wonder when Ryoma will face a guy who's at least a bit of a challenge for him xD

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

All the starters strolling onto the court like it's a 90's video game. Lol

He put that 8th year in his place!

I dont know how to feel about the spoilers shown at the beginning of each episode. It was bad this episode. But the preview of next episode feels good.

fue un buen episodio para ser el inicio del ánime, aunque repetitivo narrativamente a lo que se viene manejando.
