Okay...I have to tell everyone this. About a year ago I watched (what I thought was) the final episode of the Prince of Tennis...after 170 some episodes they cancelled the series and left horrifying blank spots in my psyche.

Would Ryoma ever be good enough the beat his dad...or Tezuka Kunimitsu at tennis? These burning questions...the manga was still in existence...but I just longed for the anime that I held most dear...My favorite anime!

Well guess what? I just downloaded and watched the first episode of The Prince of Tennis: The Nationals...The title..."Return of the Prince". It turns out, he didn't shoot himself after all. Yay. Let us all rejoice. Rejoice. Sit back...and enjoy.
