Prince of Tennis is a typical over the top sports anime with special moves that make no sense and don't have real explinations. It's not bad if you've in the mood for killing a day and some brain cells over the 130 or so eps (which I did <.<; ) The characters really started to grind on me after awhile though, especially the main guy to the point I wanted him to lose. Some of the situations are totally ridcioulous too, what does an average mugger in the park do when confronted with a 12 year old punk with a racket and a cute girl? That's right they duke it out with tennis. I suppose there's some sort of appeal with sportmans thinking that the world problems can be solved soley with their game? I suppose it might be true in the sense if you're good enough and you get really rich you can win at life. Anyways I digress. PoT isn't bad, but not really that good either if you're looking for solid plot and characters. For the otherwise think of it as a typical fighting anime, cept they used tennis powers instead. I have to say it does look alot better then Slam Dunk, but that's really not saying much.
I don't think the anime has been licensed yet, but I believe the manga is.
