It has been a while since I watched The Prince of Tennis, back in my first year high school days, so this was a nostalgic return lol. Ryoma still brings that ridiculously cool confidence that made the series fun in the first place. The international angle feels fresh, while the classic tennis insanity is already here in full force haha.

It quickly introduces the larger international stage, raises the level of competition, and builds anticipation for the matches ahead.

For the first episode, I found most of Ryoma's interactions with the U.S. team make most of the scenes really interesting to watch since he's in a newer environment. The tension surrounding him in the second half also did a great job building up the anticipation and tension for what will come in upcoming episodes.
