That was one hell of a compelling episode and a great way to start the series. Im so loving pumped to be watching a cartoon about ping pong :allears:

I wouldnt even say this was a peco centric episode and more like a "everyone but smile" episode.

This show has done a spectacular job of flipping everyones characterization. Weird world where the non confrontational guy is the biggest douche right now and just about everyone else seems to be more down to earth and chilling

Also I want to see a match between old teacher guy and old ping pong studio owner.

So it was true to that part of the manga.

Oh man. They couldn't have let Kong have even one game in the match? The guy deserves better than that. :(

His existence is to constantly be jobbed. Its uncanny how accurate his first speech was.

I cant believe the thing I've just watched. Its there, right in front of me, but I still cant believe it exists.

This show has left me dumbstruck with how good a lot of the scenes are, but the payoff for this episode, its end, is something else. I've never seen an anime as well directed and executed as this.
