Ping Pong THE ANIMATION
Tsukimoto Makoto (nicknamed Smile) is a quiet high-schooler who's been friends with the loud and energetic Hoshino Yukata (nicknamed Peko). They're both in the table tennis club and are very good at it, though Smile's personality prevents him from winning against Peko. The club teacher however notices Smile's talent and tries to make him gain some sportive tenacity. (Source: Anime News Network)

Read full review on AniList →Before my usual analysis, its worth giving a brief personal review: Ping Pong is an exhilerating show to watch, effortlessly piecing together paralleling characters with abstraction and music that instantly communicates a character's perspective and presence.

Read full review on AniList →Ping Pong: The Animation is one of the most astonishing anime I’ve ever seen.
