If Haikyuu is the most grounded sports anime, Prince of Tennis is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum, and I think that it carries its own charm. You have people doing backflips while hitting the ball, people creating gravity wells on the court, people using execution techniques and applying it to their tennis shots, there really is no end to it. Every episode I found myself grinning ear to ear at the sheer ridiculousness of the "tennis" on display. Add to that a lovable cast of characters and you have yourself a winning formula. Even as a longtime tennisplayer, I found myself totally enamored with this show. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun sports anime that casts aside all pretext of realism and takes it to the extreme.
