Review of Ping Pong the Animation

Ping Pong the Animation showed the struggle on loving something, and forgetting why you loved it. The anime walks us through the life of Makoto Tsukimoto (Smile) and Yutaka Hoshino (Peco) who are obsessed with Ping Pong. But sometimes when you love something for too long, you forget how you got there and why you even do in the first place. Follow these two journeys through the wins, loses, practicing until you puke and learning that by saying it thrice a hero will enter when you need them the most. Although I loved the anime, I'll be giving it a 8/10 for two things: The animation; I personallyloved it. It felt purposeful, was powerful at the most important matches and something about the mouth expressions really got to me... but since this style can be considered so "artistic/ugly" it's hard to recommend to anyone in my personal life, which makes be bring down the rating mark. But I hope other can looking past the "ugliness" and enjoy the story of Smile and Peco.
