Warning: This is not tennis.

If you've watched the original Prince of Tennis, you'll definitely see how crappy the New PoT is.

Prince of Tennis is one of the best franchise in Japan. The reason why this series got a lot of adoptions is because of how high their sells are. Even I cannot believe how many the tenipuri fans are. As long as the anime sells, they'll make a new adoption. Not concerned if it 's good or not. And in our case, it is not.

In this series, tennis isn't even tennis anymore. They introduced a lot of violent techniques. A glowing shot that ... damages the court and can tear a water tank down. There was even a fight where you can see a pirate like wtf isn't this supposed to be tennis? Most of the matches aren't even thrilling. I hate how the producers skipped and altered a lot of scenes/chapters from the manga. The supposed to be fun part aren't in the anime. What the hell are the producers thinking?!

And the most disappointing part is that how come the Pinnacle of Perfection is being achieved by many. Isn't Teni Muhō supposed to be the top of the top? In the ORIGINAL PoT, Ryoma did achieve the Teni Muhō and his skills were unbelievable. The ball cannot be seen and the opponent can't even score a single point. But in the New Prince of Tennis, this is not the case. Teni Muhō is now just an achievement you'll attain when you enjoy tennis. I'll give them the credit if they made the matches more interesting but no. The matches is the New PoT are boring. It doesn't matter if you enter Teni Muhō or not. What matter in this series is how you'll survive in the match. What an unbelievable tennis.

Since this is an OVA, and judging how disappointing its prequel is, I did not expect anything from it. But let me just say that this series... is definitely better than its prequel. However, the story is very misleading. There are many scenes in the manga that the anime didn't adopt. Which lead to bad pacing, ridiculous opinions, and bad character development. Tenipuri has a lot of characters and 10 episodes can't possibly give significance to even at least ten characters.

The art is expected. Production I.G did a good job. They raised a lot of beautiful bishounens (especially Fuji damn he looked so hot). I thank you for that. I love the sound as well. The opening was okay but I find the ending song cute and adorable. I even pre ordered the "Party Time" album cause the characters are so cute!

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed watching this anime. I'm a solid PoT fan, you see. And I love watching them go cray with their matching oozing sex appeals. Fan service isn't bad once in a while, he. Tenipuri fans will definitely enjoy this OVA but as for the others... I don't know. It will depend on your taste if you'll give it a try or not. In the end, I still enjoyed watching how the characters fight for their death. This anime still has a lot of interesting stuff and I love the manga. I just hope the sequel will be more interesting than the first season.

I started watching Naruto the wrong way.


The first thing I knew about Naruto was his battle with Pain. Then after that, I began watching Jiraiya's fight with Nagato. Sakura and Granny Chiyo's battle with Sasori. The Third Hokage's death. And so on... I missed a lot of episode, nevertheless, I knew I should begin with the first episode not in Shippuuden but in the original Naruto itself.

But nooo. I was so stubborn so I began to read the manga first. Ever since I heard that Naruto has ended, I was itching to read its manga for good. And I did. A week later, ... I found myself crying and inspired. I regret not paying attention to such an amazing manga.

STORY :

Some would say I'm exaggerating, but for me, Naruto is what I can proudly say a "masterpiece". I love Naruto so much it pains my kokoro. Any month now, or maybe a year, Shippuuden will end like a flash. Fillers may make this masterpiece a junk but I assure you, some fillers are worth a shot. If you hate it, then don't watch it. The pacing will still be the same. Naruto will remain the same. I may not be a super Naruto fanatic, I can't call myself that yet. Naruto may not be my childhood favorite but it is my inspiration. The heck with Naruto-more-then-a-decade fans. I, too, has Naruto inside me.

Ninjustu. Gengutsu. Taijutsu. Senjutsu. Fuinjutsu. There are so many justu to elaborate with but that makes this anime special. Over the past decade, I hear many jutsu throughout my community. I remember how I used to play games on my friends ps3. Naruto here, Naruto there. Even now, when I attend cosplay events, Naruto is still popular. I always ask myself why. Why is Naruto so popular? Is the anime even this good? Why is Sasuke such a news word in the society? Now I know why : it's because you can never change time. You can never change hearts. You can never change memories.

Naruto has its own place in the anime industry. As well as any other anime out there. Even if A LOT are already tired of fillers and unending battles, this anime will never waver. Who could ever forget Naruto famous "I'll become a Hokage" quote? I'm sure that I won't. (10/10)

CHARACTER :

Ahhh. This is what I love the most in this anime. So let's start with Naruto Uzumaki. The Nine Tails Jinchuriki. The prophecy child. Who would not love Naruto, anyway? He may be a loser, a brat, a stupid shinobi, but who would have thought that he could can the whole shinobi world? Naruto's development started when people hated him more and more as he grows up. And later did he blossom when a person finally acknowledge him. He is not just the nine tails jinchuriki. He is Naruto Uzumaki. And he will become a hokage. A man full of words is better than a man who doesn't recognize his worth.

And there's come Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha, the avenger (coughs). Kidding! I honestly hated Sasuke at first. Unlike Naruto, he only wants vengeance. He locks his self in his own wicked world. He wanted to become strong to kill the person who attacked his village, his parents, his everything. I know it must have been painful to witness your beloved killed also by your beloved, but putting everything aside for vengeance? Alright, that's pretty much okay. No one could ever stop you anyway. And if it wasn't for Sasuke the avenger, things would not end up the way it is in the end. Everyone has a purpose in life. Despite of everything he did, I'd still want him back. He's home is Konohagakure after all.

And as for Sakura. Oh, I love her development. From a weak and fragile girl to a strong and powerful woman indeed. I never hated her, really. She has her own issues and I respected that. She love Sasuke (who doesn't?) so much that she was willing to do everything for him. Love is a battle, and so she took her own path by becoming a shinobi that can stand by herself. She is a character that has an open development. Watch the anime and you'll see how she strive everything for her to be acknowledge the same way the rest of the Team 7 were.

There are many more characters to praise. Everyone changed for the better. They had their own pain, happiness, beliefs. Thank you specially for Naruto's Will of Fire for leading the shinobi world. Everything was worth it. (10/10)

ART AND SOUND :

I am not really good when it comes to analyzing the art style but from what I saw, it was an okay for me. There are some fights that I was expecting a lot of animations but thank you for the sound and effects my feels stays the same. I love how the sound can be so perfect from time to time. There are many soundtracks too that I would love to listen over and over. The background music is always fitting with the atmosphere. It makes me cry, ya know!!! I just hope the animation will be amazing in the last part of the series. (MadaraxGuy / SasukexNaruto fight pls)

ENJOYMENT :

I cried. I laughed. I felt the pain and the hopes of many shinobi in this anime. And I wouldn't have asked for more. Thank you for the roller coaster ride, Naruto. Thank you for teaching me not to give up. Thank you for the comfort and love that I haven't realized all these years. And oh, thank you Kishimoto Sensei for creating Naruto. I love you so much, thank you thank you thank you!!! Words will never be enough for inspiring me to believe in myself. I will never give up. No matter how hard life may be, I'll always remember Naruto's will of never giving up.

"And my future dream is to be the greatest Hokage! Then the whole village will stop disrespecting me and start treating me like I'm somebody. Somebody important!" - Naruto Uzumaki



This anime is worth a shot. Try watching every episode and refrain from skipping fillers. Some of it may be very important, ya know!

"A masterpiece will never be considered as a flawless creation nor idea. Everything and everyone has its own flaws and mistakes. Nevertheless, a masterpiece is considered to be acknowledge and not to be judge by others."

And that is what I learned from watching this amazing anime. May others find their own inspiration in you, Naruto.

Every arcs be like: "The dark guilds/ enemies are much more stronger! There's no way Fairy Tail's gonna win!"

OH NO NO NO. They WILL win! 'Cause they have the Powa of Friendship!

*Fairy Tail wins.
*End of arc
*repeats the cycle

Is that all they could do? Meh. The story is poorly written so I'll just give it a 3/10.

... CHARACTERS:

This is irritating. Especially with Lisanna's part! Dude, she just came back and they be like nothing happened! On the other hand, Natsu's the same old Natsu. Thickheaded dragon slayer who obviously wins a fight every arc with his friendship power up of raging emotions. And Lucy and her celestial spirits. It annoys me how she summons them and the enemy's gonna beat them into a pulp. Aren't celestial spirits strong? (And to think that I was really expecting something from Lucy and Loke's relationship. Oh well.) Gray and Erza, they just gets dumber every episode. ESPECIALLY THE FIGHTS. At first, Fairy Tail's gonna give you an emotional fight mostly pertaining about to "never give up" / "We are a family" and suddenly... THE COMEDIC STUPIDITY RISES LIKE WTH ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Give me a break. I give 2/10.


The SOUND is good. The ART is okay.

The reason why I'm still watching this anime because it has something. A potential perhaps? Fairy Tail can be unique in many ways! So I can't just drop this one since I definitely love its manga.

I think all of us, who watched Fairy Tail, could agree that it is funny. Its humor is one of its potential, yet it is also its downside when it comes to the seriousness part of every arc. But, I find the enjoyment good. I find some parts of this anime interesting so I'll give it a 6/10.


OVERALL: 5 out of 10.

Excluding its plot and character development. Fairy Tail is not that bad of an anime. Some may find it enjoyable, and some may not. And I'm still halfway through so maybe I'll edit this review if I see another significance in this anime. If you haven't watched Fairy Tail yet, please do. It is not that bad as most of the viewers think. And as for me, I'll still push through until its next sequel; Fairy Tail (2014).
