Prince of Tennis

Overview of the Prince Of Tennis anime:

Prince of tennis was simply amazing. It is still one of my favorite animes to this day. The main character is the son of a retired pro tennis player. He was raised by his father to play tennis day after day. When the story starts out, the main character is in middle school as a 1st year. He joins the school's tennis club and competes for a spot as a "regular". Regulars are the top players in the club that make up the school's tennis team. The other members of the tennis club are just members and don't actually participate in tournaments. Surprisingly this 1st year tennis player beats most of the 2nd and 3rd years. This earns him a spot as a regular. The story continues on as the play in many other tournaments but I won't spoil anymore.

I think the thing that made this anime so interesting is how they exaggerated tennis. All of the serves and returns look epic (as most animes do). And the way that every player seems to make a comeback of some sort always makes it very suspenseful to watch. You don't have to be interested in sports to watch it either. I never watch any sports but after just watching the 1st episode, I couldn't help but keep watching more and more.
