Review of Ping Pong the Animation

Despite the limited possibilities one can go with a sports anime, Ping-Pong the animation has grasped my attention as possibly the best or one of the best sports animes ever. As an actual table tennis player (I play like smile :) I think this show is relatively realistic compared to most sports animes I.e. Prince of Tennis. They managed to pull off an interesting concept for the opening, which wasn't pleasing at first (because it was Rock) but I grew more into it. The soundtrack was decent enough too. I am sorely disappointed by the poor animation, even though I came to love it becauseof its unique style, so don't let that put you off. As a story, there's only so much you can do in eleven episodes. But the small amount of episodes somehow develops each and every character to hold the storyline together. Overall, a definite must watch, at least because it's ping pong.
