I just finished the anime and in the last op I almost cried. They look so carefree and akward, like kids doing what they like. Their relationship is also really heartwarming.
@William Guan Animation is the illusion of movement. They're talking about the art style being ugly, not the animation. Anyways, regarding the art style, I feel that the lines are loose and it's pretty realistic while keeping the simple look to the characters. I really enjoy the art and animation though it's slightly inconsistent which can't be helped considering the detail of the art.
It's seinen not shounen to anyone who thinks it's just the same as any other sports anime lol. Also ping png is just like a background factor in this name lol
Yeh it's a shame stuff like: Kuroko no Basket, Haikyuu!! & especially Yuri! On Ice are way more mainstream. But at the sane time, it's refreshing to see a masterpiece that not many others would have seen - gives a real hidden gem feel.

One of the best openings ever. I really like it when anime use "ugly" aesthetics and singing. With this one in particular, it gives a feeling of both ambition and comradery with a juvenile edge, which rings true with the whole show. It's frantic and goofy, but you can still hear the determination in the singer's voice. This is how you do an opening.
Out of everything I have read and watched, this show was probably the most well written of them all. Such an amazing plot and fitting animation, I recommend this to everyone.
Ping Pong is eternal, it's themes shall forever resonate with anyone that has passion for something. For as much shit as it gets for the animation, it really hasn't aged a single day. 10/10, an anime that will be remembered years and years to come.
_If you just read Ping Pong’s opening song lyrics out loud, they’d sound panicked, even desperate. The story of a boy who’s got nowhere to go, who is preoccupied with how he’ll be known, who throws himself forward because he has no other choice. But in song, they’re joyous, a celebration - he’s gonna throw himself into space, sure, but he’s gonna have fun with it._ I read this on an online essay about the whole anime. I honestly couln't agree more. This song is a celebration, about failing, and trying, and failing becaused you tried, and growing because of it. Just like the show. And my God if that doesn't make this my favorite OP (and one of my favorite animes ever) I dont know what will. Is just a celebration on life as a whole. It's beautiful.
+finrandil I cringe when I read people complaining about the "crappy animation". It actually takes a true expert to be able to pull this sort of style off.
@@steampunkofgondor2619 without this art style the Anime wouldn't be so incredible. Can't you understand that it's perfectly connected to the story itself?

@@williamonthetongas4174 especially if you are younger, life can take so many directions so its normal to feel directionless at times... the loneliness is maybe a more philosophical topic

これほどまで残酷に「才能」を描いた作品があっただろうか
飛べない鳥もいるという事実を突きつける厳しさ、競技人として生きるだけが全てじゃないという優しさを同時に教えてくれる作品

スマイルにボコボコにされて卓球やめてしまったあの人もアクマも俺に見え仕方が無い
Me 2
アクマにたくさんのことを教わった
実際に、卓球って結構才能とかセンスがいるんよね（もちろん強い人は努力もしてると思うけど）だから現実が如実に描かれてるなと思ったし、だからこそ清々しい気持ちになる！！御都合主義で努力でなんとかなる漫画も夢があっていいけど、自分はピンポンの方が好き。
才能努力情熱の3つの軸で描かれてましたね 他にもなんのために卓球をしてるかという点でも描かれてた気がします
when peco and smile are walking together, love that scene
Dude that scene is the reason I came here. Before I watched the anime I thought it was disgusting, but it's a MASTERPIECE .
Wreck My Heart always
Its always looked like they're dancing to me. Just having fun with the entire process and adventure. I love it.
I just finished the anime and in the last op I almost cried. They look so carefree and akward, like kids doing what they like. Their relationship is also really heartwarming.
I've just finished watching the anime and I couldn't help but cry at the last episode opening, they are just fooling around like kids I loved it
Affer i had gotten used to the art style in about 4 minutes, i started appreciating the animation more than anything. So fluid.
MrPatrickbuit and the chins actually move!!
You can’t really call this fluid animation. Feels like there’s 10 frames per second.

I think most people would agree with that.

It has something better than vanity, it's got style and class

@@thecountofmontecristo5805 but wouldn't you want more people to enjoy the anime
@@Fir3turtle Well,yes but I also love the fact that it’s unpopular & no one hates it.
To me its better to be underrated, because most people judging the anime by the visuals, not the contents, but once u watched it, u will be blown away
THE MOST UNDERATED ANIME OF ALL TIME
I don't think it's underrated. It is just soooo underappreciated by the anime community.
Jannielyn Acha That's the definition of underrated
lord drakkon well the fact that this anime got anime of the year award in japan prove that many ppl appreciate it also
Underwatched would be the better term.
Under appreciated by the western weebs

Ping Pong: The Animation is a masterpiece. Masaki Yuasa is a genius.
Kensuke Ushio genius of music
