Review of Ping Pong the Animation

Wow, that was a treat! A creative display of animation alongside well-formed imagery with characters from various backgrounds, highlighting their various characteristics and reason for fighting on the court. Pros: - A great pilot episode - Lots of effort put into the match animations - A funky and raw OP (See cons for more) - Intuitive character metaphors and striking imagery to really convey their importance. - A groovy soundtrack that will get you headbanging during the hype moments. - The "rougher" art-style. This is contentious to some, but I believe it does a great job at humanizing the characters since it makes them look less like anime characters and more likereal people.
- Tight story. This is a 12 episode show with a solid ending, couldn't ask for more.

Cons:
- Good number of reused cuts. Some shots are so quick that you might not notice it, but there are times when the same cut will replay 2 or 3 times. Surprised they didn't change a frame or two to hide it better.
- First 2 episode's opening are just a collection of shots that will be in the current episode, which slightly spoils you on the episode's content. From episode 3 and onward, it had a regular OP which is very creative and fun.
