Tennis no Oujisama Movie 2: Eikokushiki Teikyuu Shiro Kessen!
劇場版テニスの王子様 英国式庭球城決戦！
Synopsis
Following the Nationals, Seishun Academy receives an invitation to participate in a junior tennis tournament at Wimbledon. In England, Ryouma Echizen and his teammates are joined by their rivals from Hyoutei Academy, Shitenhouji Middle School, and Rikkai University-Affiliated Middle School, who have also been invited to this special event. One evening before the start of the tournament, some of the players are attacked by a group of thugs, leaving them hospitalized with injuries. The only evidence distinguishing the assailants is a silver ring that each member wears on their hand and that their leader's name is Keith. In an effort to stop the gang, the middle school students convene to discuss their options but are interrupted by Ling Xiu, the person who saved Ryouma the night before. Xiu identifies himself as a former member of Clack—a band of tennis players banned from official competition due to their violent playstyles and conduct. The students are warned to stay out of the affairs of Clack as they cannot hope to win against their tennis style. Frustrated by the situation, Ryouma sneaks out with Xiu to confront Keith and the other members of Clack with the intent to take them down single-handedly. Knowing Xiu's true objective, Ryouma is now more determined than ever to defeat Keith to save the latter from himself. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This movie is definitely a treat for any Prince of Tennis fan. After Seigaku wins the National Championship comes along this movie. The artwork pales in comparison to the National Championship animation but still is nonetheless good. As far as the soundtrack goes, little to no music was used and i feel that it was extremely plain in contrast with the original soundtrack from the original series. Despite this movie being 2 hours, i feel that the story was rushed. I didn't feel sorry for any of the new characters. Namely being Ling Xiu and Keith. The story was simple. Far too simple that you'dnever expect it to be the kind of story it is. However, the movie is bearable to watch and is worth the watch. The best thing about this movie is undoubtly the uniting of the characters to overcome the obstacle they all commonly face, The Crack (the group of street tennis players that are banned from official tournaments because of their rough play). The teamwork and the uniting of the different teams (Seigaku, Rikkaidai, Hyotei and Shintenhouji) was truly splendid and something that fans have always wanted to see since the ending of the Nationals but never got the what they wanted. Overall this movie is worth watching but don't expect too much from it as Echizen himself didn't even use any of his special moves. Overall the movie is watchable and is something all fans should give a try.
