ShinPuri again, episode 2, chapter 69 and 70
DIVA is worried.
There's new episode out again. Japanese fans seem to be highly amused as I spotted some comments on japanese forums (looked for some screencaps, because I was lazy to take some and there are no subs).
Though it was not that funny, but nice. I love new animation, but it looks like upgraded PairPuri, they don't move really much, just in matches :DD So, they always stay still, shown in all of their glory (oh, but I like that :D). Sometimes some random character pops out and says something smart :D Oni vs. Momo-chan wa quite interesting, but I'm looking forward more to next ep. (Damn, who is playing?!) AND SRSLY, I was so happy to see Horio, Shiita (first anime appereance, yes, his voice! :D) and Dan :D (there were firstly annoying, but I miss all old characters now. They are adorable :D)
Also, there's some rumour floating (saw that on TeniPuri discussion I posted day before yesterday), that ShinPuri anime, is going to end in March 28 or something and then will continuey after breaks, like...Nationals. I dunno. It's just a rumour. But if we consider how mangy chapters of manga are out, and that they air new anime at 2 AM, it won't definitely take so long as original series. (Though I would love to see it xD Longer, better :D)
And also. chapters 69 and 71 of manga are out, though not scanlated yet, I think. But I read it Thai scanlations (couldn't find Japanese ones)...But Sai The Shaman translated it :)
Firstly, YOU-KNOW-WHO appears and Ryoma is like...o_O (Ryoga of course, but Ryoma doesn¨t seem to remember)
Then, we can see boys, fooling in their dormitories again, having some friendly talks, thinking about life. Jackal is jealous of Marui hanging with Kite, while Atobe goes to Niou. Higa boys fanboys over their own tennis skills, while Kenya and Yuushi are arguing, which Rookie is better, whether East or West one aaaaand...There's Irie, standing on handrail on a rooftop, playing on saxophone or something like this, in a moonlight and this scene looks just awesome, srsly. Also there are ex-players from Rikkai and Hyotei, being disgusted how young Big Three and Atobe were arrogant :D And there's going to be match between oldplayer from Rikkai and Hyotei vs. Atobe & Niou (using Tezuka Illusion).
This is gonna be interesting :D
I do really like Irie. Do you like some new characters from U-17?
