Review of Ping Pong the Animation

Makoto Tsukimoto "Smile", a young student and a member of a school table tennis club nicknamed "smile" as he do not smile very often. Tsukimoto been a victim of school abuse since childhood and decided the best way to deal with those abusers is to choose ignorance by concealing himself and hide, until a "Hero" arrived. Yutaka Hoshino "Peco", loves table tennis and eagers to be a national and worldwide champion. Tsukimoto and "Peco" are best friends and always like to meet to play after school at a nearby table tennis center. While both loves table tennis, Tsukimoto has no interest into taking it seriously asPeco does, and just using it as a way for passing time.

The two friends loves to play most days that way until their bond of friendship encounters a certain road block and at this time you begin to understand how deeply their friendship bond tied up in the past.

The way this work shows of this bond of friendship, the passion towards table tennis and the reason why they both love playing against each other is just so extraordinary.

You rarely have the opportunity to watch an anime series that connect the dots as Ping Pong does in this great piece of work!
