Prince of Tennis bowling ep

The only thing I have to say about that is: Oh my god, Kaidoh's outfit! He looks like a hustler!

Not that I'm complaining...

*grinning* Yeah, he's pretty hot in civvies isn't he? Especially for such a proper, upright boy. I think that was the ep where I really stopped believing this was supposed to be a shounen series. I mean, that outfit is just gratuitous fanservice (not that there's any other kind).

The dynamic of writer responsiveness to fan whim, in anime and manga both, is really enough to make a Westerner's eyes cross, because they'll throw these things in without in any way adjusting the characterization to suit/explain the moment. It's just there.

I always enjoy seeing any of them in casual clothes -- it's cool to see who wears what. That one ep when Inui was wearing a ball cap! Mmm

Damn, don't tease me like that! *g* He certainly seems to get that treatment more than the others. Which is just fine by me.

I took about a million screenshots from that ep. Must make an icon or so.
