Tangents
Aug 23, 2008

I've been reading the manga and appreciating your comments about real life tennis. Kind of interesting the extent to which it follows real strategy and stuff, instead of pure gimmicks and bullshit.

I feel like the series does a pretty good job about Maruo not being unstoppable? Not to be that guy dancing around spoilers. But I think it's pretty rare for a sports show to have the protagonist outright fail so at some point you've got to expect that he's going to win most of the big matches. I don't think that necessarily kills the tension, you could probably say the same for big action movies and I can still be engaged by how well assembled the whole thing is.
