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.
@@odkgame693 в Ashita no Joe часть матчей пропущена, так как они не имеют никакого значения. Жанр спортивного аниме это не только про демонстрацию матчей, а именно про взаимоотношение людей и спорта.
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
勢いとノリに全振りしてるopと熱量のある本編と爽やかすぎるedが共存するアニメとか欲張りすぎんのよ
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.

this anime is pure masterpiece...

Facts
一見安定してないようでつねにツボを突いてくる線が好き
原作もアニメも実写も全部好きな稀有な作品。夏になると見たくなる。
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
勉強、スポーツ、音楽、小説、絵…あらゆる分野でくすぶってる人に見てほしい
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
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 personally loved the expressiveness of the art style

Like most fucking sport anime.
Unlike other sport anime, this one focuses on the life and not the robots.

XDD
心の底から面白いと思えるアニメ久しぶりに見た気がする。最高でした。
1:00 「いくぜぇ！スマイル！」
からの無表情だけど嬉しそうなスマイルの流れがたまらなく好き
このダサくて暑苦しい感じが大好き
かっこいいよ
このアニメは原作漫画も映画も大事にしてる、愛が伝わるよなー
アクマがトラックで食ってくのとチャイナが最終的にドラゴンを追い越すって設定。
それぞれ飛べないアクマは地上に活路を見出して、飛行機で描かれることが多い孔は徐々に高度を上げて、越せなかった存在を追い越して行く飛行機みたいな感じがしててすごく好き。
でも飛行機じゃ星（ペコ）には届かないんだよね…それもまたすごくいいんだけど。
アニメも漫画も映画も全て成功した
稀有な作品
実はこの時代の実写は成功例多いよね

why hidden
@@Fir3turtle By hidden,I meant underpopular.It’s one of those few shows I've never seen a hater of.It's a type of show that not everyone would like.
@@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

アニメはピンポンの方がおもろいけどopはth-cam.com/video/ynP7V1tVQEQ/w-d-xo.html これといい勝負
Since I've seen this anime, ping pong has been one of my favorite sports
自分と他人を比べて堕ちてゆくってのが心に刺さるのと
0:49 からの風景が懐かしい。自分卓球部だったからこの空間とか中に入った時の開放感とかが今は味わうことができないのかとしょんぼり😞
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
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.

Then go watch Tatami Galaxy

The abolute best a sports anime can get without eurobeat
ashita no joe2 too
Levii hajime no ipppo...?
My 3 favourites! ^^^ :D
Hajime no Ippo and Slam Dunk
Initial D is shit to be honest, the only ones that are really good are this and Ashita No Joe.
Need to rewatch this masterpiece.

Thanks for translating the lyrics to english and putting them in captions. They are truly wonderful.

Right, it's that juxtaposition that does a great job of circumventing your expectations- which is what heroes do!
They have no business to make this opening soo memorable!
初めはダブルスと思ってたのに
最後にこんな暑い展開のOPに変化するとは思ってもいなかったわ
0:17ここ映画の「俺の名前はァー！星野ー！ゆたかだぁーー！…そこんとこヨロシクッ！」のシーンにめっちゃ似とる
時おり思い出してはこの映像と音楽に圧倒されたくなる。
エンディング曲もまた良いのよ
ピンポンはほんと泣けて、今回は泣かなかったなと思ってもed曲でやられて結局全話泣いた思い出
今考えるとあれはトラップの一種か
Se nota en la animación que los dibujantes se estan divirtiendo, ta hecha con amor 10/10
漫画、アニメ、実写映画全部が神の名作
今まで見てきたアニメの中で最も好き
最終話のop見てる時の最初の20秒感動したわ。
わかる。伏線回収よな
Dude, the final phrase... it's so typical, I know but I love how sounds.
何回見返してもこのOPの作画良い意味で狂ってるわ。
もちろん曲も大好き
このポップな泥臭さが本当に大好き
アニメーションとして完璧すぎる
ピンポン見る度に江ノ島行きたくなるわ
Un autentico uno de los mejores openings de la historia
最初の半ズボンッパーンってすんのめっちゃ好き

A work of the veteran animator, Shinya Ohira.
+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.
so true!!! the animation is amazing
While Ohira is the unit director, the OP featured a lot of youngsters who specialise in digital animation like Go, Niho, BahiJD etc
The animation is fucking amazing its the artstyle thats weird

Oooooh yeah :D !!!
Started watching this anime for it's art style, at the end also love the story
When I get some free time, I might watch this. The art style looks good, I haven't really seen anything like it before
