Review of Ping Pong the Animation

Every once in a blue moon a show comes around that completely floors me in every aspect. Ping pong is that show. It is a living and breathing entity, a moving mural and testament to the depth and beauty of the human mind. One thing is for certain: this show is about much more than just table tennis. The artwork is truly remarkable, and I don't think the show would be nearly as good without the unique tone it sets. For anyone who has a problem with it, don't worry, there are thousands of cookie-cutter shows with animation thatI'm sure will satisfy you. It's shows like this that breathe new life into the medium in times when it seems there isn't anything of substance available to see. There is no fan service to be seen here other than the entirety of the show itself. It is an epic tale of love, self-acceptance and friendship amazingly condensed into just 11 short episodes without compromising anything at all.

This, THIS is why I watch anime.
