A sound reply to the snake shot.
You won’t understand this if you haven’t seen the season one of Prince of Tennis or if you have forgotten it. I had forgotten these episodes but thanks to this site I got them again. This weekend I was free enough to do anything I wanted to do. I was feeling very bored of the video games so I preferred to surf online. Finally I saw this site where I could download all the TV shows whether they are on-screen or off-screen. I was even more surprised to see that these guys have kept animation shows as well. Otherwise there are separate sites for animation series. This is more convenient here as it takes just a few minutes to download one’s favorite episodes.
Finally I decided to download ‘Prince of Tennis’. I am big fan of Tennis, and I play it well, so this animation has always fascinated me. So I downloaded my favorite three episodes from first season. One is Regulars Make Their Debuts, second is The One Named Viper and my most favorite ‘Snake shot’. All the three episodes are about Ryoma. Ryoma is a brilliant player, and he has unending stamina, he never gets tired. In the episode ‘regulars’ he defeats a solid player Arai. The coach gets extremely impressed by him and he is selected for the intra school ranking matches. He and all his friends are extremely happy with his selection.
In the next episode he plays a tournament with a strong opponent, Kaido. Kaido is really smart player and doesn’t let Ryoma take the centre stage. And finally in this episode Ryoma starts showing signs of fatigue and starts losing his breath. Kaido shows his special move, the snake shot and switches Ryoma off. Now everybody thinks that match has gone.
But Ryoma shows his magic in the next episode. Ryoma is playing cunning moves which make Kaido bend his knees to move back. Now Kaido starts losing his stamina and is trapped in his own game plan. Finally Ryoma wins.
While watching this match it didn’t seem to me that I am watching animation, but it appeared like I am watching the real tournament in tennis court.
