Not gonna lie, had a big old shiteating grin on my face when the full version of the hero's music kicked in.

I wouldn't say I'm good, but I play enough ping pong to really appreciate the accuracy of the animation. I see an attack and anticipate some response, and then the other player goes and does it. Even if it's a really choppy bit in the middle of a montage, it's always spot on.
That thing where Peco rubbers the back side of his Japanese-style pengrip paddle -- that definitely is unusual like they say -- the handle shape makes it harder to twist into position for a reverse pengrip backhand. That's one of my favorite shots to throw off my opponent, too, so it was cool to see it come up.

This all really makes me wanna order a custom built paddle with a carbon blade this time. One side of my current paddle is this sick spin-canceling Butterfly rubber, but the whole paddle is way too heavy.

I only know a little about high level ping pong play, but I really like how it actually went out of its way to show peco switching up attack styles in this last episode.

This is seriously the best anime I've ever watched, and the ending to episode 9 gave me shivers.

Hīrō kenzan
Hīrō kenzan!
Hīrō kenzan!

I want to get a hero Peco avatar but I'm not sure which scene...

Watch the next episode and take my old Big Kazama av.
