Probably the most underrated anime of all time. I still tear up at this ending song and it’s been a while since I last watched it. It’s so unbelievably human. Everyone is so real. I will praise this anime to the ends of the earth until the day I die and I honestly believe that.
Bro the ending makes me so sad every time I think abt it, I’m so sad tsukimoto didn’t get on a national team with them, the plot is so well done bro, honestly makes me wanna cry how good that show is
vorti gaunt Yea, that's one of the dumbest comments I've read in a while. Alonso simply doesn't understand what "decade" means. Probably thinks you can only refer to a time frame as a decade when they end in zeroes, such as from 2000 to 2010. Just ignore these people and maybe even take pity on them.
Just finished watching this series. Absolutely incredible, and is surely extremely underappreciated. Definitely one of, if not the best, anime of 2014.
I just finished it too, so much substance in so few episodes! In my top 10 anime for sure out of the ~80 I've fully completed by now. This song is also fantastic.
I was first reluctant to watch this anime because the art style literally murdered me. Then one day I accidentally clicked on the first episode and I ended up watching it all the way through and boy I don't And never will regret it. Everything was amazing. And the art style happened to become one of my top 10 favorites.
One of my all time favorite pieces of art,, 11 episodes yet so touching and eye opening.. I loved the life lessons and messages the author shared and the delivery of them were top notch.. It was a sports anime but it wasn’t at the same time.. it was much deeper and much more meaningful and complex.. I loved the characters and their development, the storyline, storytelling, artstyle, soundtracks and the general vibe of the anime itself I love that it’s one of those hidden gems but at the same time it deserves so much more love and recognition.. sadly lots of ppl refuse to give it a shot due to the artstyle or the fact that it’s a sports anime or maybe both… And this ending was, is and will always be one of my all time favorite endings it’s just so soothing ☕️
definitely. everything in this show was RIGHT. the character development, general question and idea, all of it. it all was perfect. i feel that this show wasn't about ping pong. sure, it's literally in the title but i feel that ping pong was what brought in all of the ideas and shit with all of the characters. what do we want in life? fame? power? money? to just win? all of those ideals were those of most of the prominent characters and i feel it came across perfectly.
To me, in this manga, and his others, he uses the same narrative, and that's the star that shines on a moon (the start is Peco the moon is Smile). Yes, Ping Pong, is a lot not about Ping Pong, just like Zero isn't about a boxer or Doraemon isn't about Nobita's in the future, but about how we worry about it too much). Maybe just his latest work Sunny (which I cannot wait for the last chapter to come out in english) is about what it is, but not even, or at least I haven't been able to figured it. So yep, Ping Pong is your life or your passion in general, what you think you're destined to be. Also touches themes of "mastery" we always hear from people about masters (regardless of the art form or career), about how simple and uncomplicated things are for them, that's Peco for you, and the work he put on is also impressive, tons of lessons on this story :)
I can't believe I put off this anime for so many years, and finally watched it and is on my top 10 ever. I love that art style now... The frames make it feel so much more unique and personal. The little details, the way Pecos eyes shine, Smiles hand gestures... Ahh 10/10 will watch with gran grandchildren
This is quite possibly the best anime I’ve ever watched. I think Kong is my favorite character. Even though he was introduced at the beginning as possibly the new best player in town, he was the first to see the reality that he wasn’t going to always be the best, or close to it, because he’d already had a reality check being cut from the Chinese team. His conversations with his old coach after the tournament each year were so human and vulnerable. He matured a lot from the first year, becoming a mentor/coach/role model of a sort to his teammates, while also making a point to spend more time with his mother and enjoy his life.
Misaaki Yuasa is one of the best anime directors ever, and Ping Pong is the best anime this year so far! It's a shame that most of his stuff is overlooked, because I'm still waiting desperately for Kemonozume and Mind Game to get released here.
I was rooting for all of them, but the one i felt really sad towards was Kazama. How he always put himself aside to chase something bigger than himself, made me feel really empty and pitiful towards him.
Kinda random but when Wenge was feeling homesick & began reminiscing about his mother giving him candy as he was aboard the train & then he began to burst into tears got me man.
i watched this anime in 2023 for the first time bcs a friend of mine advice me to watch it , i dont regret it, a ery strabge anime but full of humanity and real important things that can help u save urself and other in life until death. really master piece
shrapnullify I have seen "reviews" of people on youtube saying they dropped the anime because it looked like "shit". The sad thing is, most anime fans think like this, they just want the same fucking manga style in all their animes, and harem loli girls, its pretty sad...
Reltoxeus Wouldn't that actually be synonymous with saying that the overall quality of Anime is dropping as a means to appeal to the ever growing casuals? Most shows are promotional works for the original material so I'd go as far to say the deterioration of Anime goes deeper then what we see on the screen. The medium and the source material it draws on is slowly becoming more and more diluted with third rate stories that pander to the lowest common denominator.
I remember I had watched The Tatami Galaxy (work of art btw) and was looking for other animes with this style. God I'm so glad I stumbled upon this masterpiece.
Esta serie enseña que no importa si uno tiene un talento natural para una actividad, hay algunos que respiran y existen por y para esa actividad, estos son los mejores del planeta mientras los otros solo son talentosos. Esta realidad se repite en el deporte, en las artes, en el pensamiento, en todas las actividades humanas. Este anime tiene un argumento muy profundo y enriquecedor. Fantástico anime!

meteorologist15 This is more than luck tho It's been several months dude (almost a year I think) Certain anime that arent as popular (this applies to all unpopular or extremely old media actually) dont get copyright spammed as much as say a Space Dandy or AoT etc. who are much more strict with their "fair-use" policies So basically the company either doesn't care or doesn't have the money/industy-pull to do something like that This isn't getting taken down any time soon man lol
"Remember that old comment" - when the OP's actual comment is from 5 years ago.... It's been 6 years and the video is still going strong and I hope it does. This will invoke so much nostalgia.
+comfortable coffin I guess you could view it that way but I just saw its core message as playing sports being most importantly about the love of the game before any other motivation you have to play, whether it be for prestige, the approval of others, or what have you. So really it's about all sports rather than none.
スポーツアニメずっと暑苦しくて嫌気さすから普段見ないけど、ピンポンは引き込まれたなぁ
葛藤とか悔しいさとか伝わってきて心にジーンと来てたらこのエモいedが流れ出すもんだから最高だった
from the characters to the artstyle, this is one of the most human shows i have ever seen
Thats probably why people dont like this,its so incredibly Human,and for mny people anime is an Escapist Fantasy
Good night pun pun 🌙🙂
JoJo
This anime and Jojo has more realistic Human proportion and graphic compared than those anime with big eyes characters
AXEL TERMINATOR don't forget Gintama.
Probably the most underrated anime of all time. I still tear up at this ending song and it’s been a while since I last watched it. It’s so unbelievably human. Everyone is so real. I will praise this anime to the ends of the earth until the day I die and I honestly believe that.

I started to watch this anime just because of the art style and I got so much more than a cool artstyle.
I only watched it bc funimation released a dub and it had some of my favorite voice actors. Was not disappointed
Short anime, but lives forever in my heart, it's characters and songs are rare gems for keeps.

残りわずかの声を涸らすよ
長いトンネル くぐり抜けたら
きっと
tatoe kimi ga kitekureta nara
nokori wazuka no koe wo karasu yo
nagai tunnel kuguri nuketara
kitto…
Even if it were something you gave me
I’d use up every last bit of my remaining voice
‘Cuz if I can get through this long tunnel
Then surely…
夢ではない そうでもない
僕らはね ここにもない
誰かれも
yume de wa nai sou demo nai
bokura wa ne koko ni mo nai
darekaremo
This isn’t a dream, it’s not like that
It’s just not here for us, you know?
Not for anyone anywhere.
JAPで台無しだな八”力
Not gonna lie this song has become my favorite ending song in any japanese show.
I Love Ping Pong, Milano Italy
Un capolavoro senza precedenti, Milano Italia
il miglior anime di sempre XD
troppo bello, cazzo
卓球は帰宅部と変わらないもんだと思ってた学生時代、、
こんなにかっこいいスポーツだと思いませんでした！
本当にすみませんでした！！！
love this songgggg
最近聴きまくってる
10/10 masterpiece. its their loss for not watching just because they don't like the art
This song will never lose its wonder for me, and I am forever thankful to the person who introduced me to it.
江ノ島行って夕暮れに聴いたら最高だった
最高やん
やばい涙が出てきた
私は感傷的で弱い人なのかな
感傷的で弱いんじゃない。
感受性が強いんだよ。★
アイコンの虫一瞬ビビった
この曲めちゃくちゃ好き
The most perfect anime in existence. Change my mind.
no
Frankly, I can't. It's one of the greatest coming-of-age stories ever told through animation.
Does anybody else remember that comment way back when that said "Good luck not getting copyrighted"?
And Im just here now like AHAHAHAHAHHA
meteorologist15 This is more than luck tho
It's been several months dude (almost a year I think)
Certain anime that arent as popular (this applies to all unpopular or extremely old media actually) dont get copyright spammed as much as say a Space Dandy or AoT etc. who are much more strict with their "fair-use" policies
So basically the company either doesn't care or doesn't have the money/industy-pull to do something like that
This isn't getting taken down any time soon man lol
27TheMunchkin It's been 2 years. you're right.
5 years and going strong 💪
Henlo I'm from future. Still rock solid in 6 years
"Remember that old comment" - when the OP's actual comment is from 5 years ago.... It's been 6 years and the video is still going strong and I hope it does. This will invoke so much nostalgia.
this got recommended to me years after watching this show, all the great memories from this masterpiece came back :)
this was better than kuroko no basket
+littlenooby kuroko is shit
+littlenooby Cant compare those too, KnB is Shonen,Sports and Ping Pong is more Sports, Psychological.
+Ace Kun ping pong wasn't even about sports. it was just a backdrop for the characters. it was purely a dramatic, coming of age story.
+comfortable coffin I guess you could view it that way but I just saw its core message as playing sports being most importantly about the love of the game before any other motivation you have to play, whether it be for prestige, the approval of others, or what have you. So really it's about all sports rather than none.
Ice I saw it as more of a talent will only take you so far. What's the point of talent if you don't put any work into it or don't have fun with it?
この曲めちゃくちゃ印象に残っててなんだってなーとよく考えてたけど、ピンポンだったか！
One of my favourite anime
Both the op and ending to the anime was perfect. One of my top favorite sports anime
