>tfw you wanna be a peco but you're just a wenge
>>288038375beach guy>>>>>> china>peco>kazuma>smile>sakuma
>>288038375Ackschually I'm Murata
>>288038375at least wenge is actually one of the only others (besides peco) on the up and up in the world of tennis post time skip...i relate more to demon; was never particularly good at what i liked doing (drawing), but still put (lowball) 15 000 hours into it before washing my hands of it.cheering on the real heroes from the sidelines is freeing.
>>288038484Sakuma's VA was way too good to discount him like that. I can still hear his >NANDE DAYOUIn my sleep
I'm more like the mediocre guy who lost his first match after many years trying. It had the same VA as Nanami of JJK.
He made the Olympic team, discovered the power of friendship, and his mom loves him.
the anime cut my favorite wenge moment for some unknown reason. he has like 3 panels in a row looking earnestly confused when his coach is taken aback by him asking who'd lose between him and smile at their first encounter, in the anime he just shouts and looks angry and then it moves on to the next page.
>>288038375Wenge is cool he loves his mom
>>288038375Wenge is the coolest character in the show by a mile though.
>>288038375>wenge learns to speak japanese in a couple of months while most anons can't even learn to read it in 10+ years
>>288041797he had it in his genes, probably from around Nanking or something
>>288041797Setting aside that most anons are indeed for ever dekinai, it sure makes a difference if you're actually living among the Japanese, for professional reasons no less. There's no learning a language like being forced to use it for your every day-to-day interaction.
>>288038375I want to be Smile. Where's my Peco to save me?
>>288041797chinese learners have a huge advantagealthough its mostly in the writing part so reaching conversational level is still impressive
i like ping pong but i don't get it.was i supposed to learn something from peco vs dragon other than:>hero so cool, neva lose!because, while it was great emotionally, i don't see how losing your mind/giving in to delusion and imagining yourself being thunder would suddenly let you kaioken x10 with a knee that's on the verge of permanently crippling you.
>>288041797chinese is far more similar to nip. Like learning German as an English speaker
>>288042037>hero so cool, neva lose!heroes drive away the darkness and in so doing transcend logic.
>>288038375More of us are Akuma than we want to admit.
>>288042170That's not true at all. Chinese and Japanese don't belong to the same language family. The Japanese vocabulary is strongly influenced by the Chinese language, but a native Chinese speaker probably wouldn't even recognize most of these loan words. The Japanese have a way of mangling foreign vocabulary to fit the cadence of their language.
>>288041797He lived in Japan and had to interact with the japanese constantly. I watch cartoons every other day.
>>288041847
>>288039432Did you get a cute wife who you filled with kids like Akuma?>>288039549>CHIKUSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>sukoshi naku
The coach is my favorite character.
>>288043056NOT BAGAHBURGER
>>288043079HELLO EVERYBODY
Hmm choosing to have a failing career in ping pong over marrying your cousin
KOKO WA SUBARASHI
>>288043039>Did you get a cute wife who you filled with kids like Akuma?3 of them? no, not even 1.i look normal (for an anon) and could probably trick a somewhat slow woman to get with me (sidenote: was demon's wife supposed to be retarded or was the VA just having fun?) but even then i wouldn't want to reproduce.last i heard autism is hereditary at a rate of 20-30%~, it feels too cruel no matter how i slice it to gamble with another life like that.
>>288043056LET'S SPOKON
>>288038375I love this show for having the Chinese people actually speak Chinese instead of pretending the entire world speaks Japanese.
>>288043295also the constant engrish.
>>288042037Mentality is very important in sports. Peco was overthinking and playing nervous, but then he wins by letting go and having fun.
>>288043200No idea what Muko's deal was. Maybe she's actually on the slow side or she's just your anime style dojikko
>>288043143>choosing to have a failing career in ping pongI don't think it was so much ping pong and more about not having anyone shittalk his dad who killed himself and his mother
>>288038375I'm not Wenge.I'm not even the side character who works with his parents.I ain't got shit.
>>288038375Nah, I'm Akuma at best. I try hard and get okay at things that I like but only get to okay and can never be good at it because I'm a defect.
>>288038375You may not like this but it is true Wenge is a character from Ping Pong : The Animation - the only good Yuasa anime ever madeYep
Could you do it, Anon?Drive a stake into an old friend's injury; choosing a strategy likely to end their career?I could. Walking up to the table with a visible injury is like announcing to the arena:>If you lose then you lost to an injured person, making you both cruel & bad, while If I lose... I lost because I was injured, duh.It's disrespectful, evil & a bitch move.
>>288043056
Be honest, you criedI know I did
>>288042245Akuma at least had drive and a hardcore work ethic, more than what most anons can claim.
MERII KURISUMASU
>>288043949Few things have ever made me cry as hard as Peco vs Dragon>Mfw he starts remembering his dad teaching him how to play
>>288043977I watch it every yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i93vXUKqnI
>>288043878For me it was the part where Dragon reached up and grabbed the hero's hand. Pure cinema.
>>288043990kino
>>288043878Only at the scene with the coach and his ex-wife reconnecting with their old friend
>>288043878Yes. And when Kong explains about his mother gifts too.
>>288043990>bunch of incels coming together to karaoke about tfw when no gf is the most uplifting scene on christmasGenuinely the best Christmas episode I have ever seen in anime, maybe any other media too
>>288044358It's not really comparable because Christmas in Japan is a couple's holiday on account of them being heathens.
>>288044117;(
>>288038375I love Peco in the manga, but Wenge is by far the best character in the anime.
>>288038375I'm more like Smile. I got the talent but i'm lazy and just want to live a simple life.
>>288043878>>288043949>>288043922>>288043973this story gives me wings everytime a re-read/watch it. KINO-KENZAN!
this has the best soundtrack ever maybe champloo comes closehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDBUatH17U8
>>288043878Out of happiness, yes
>>288044023Call me autistic but I still don't get what happened in episode 9.
>>288038375the only jobber that looks cool
>>288044702>I love Peco in the mangaThere're a lot of small Peco moments unfortunately cut from the show I wish were included, like his reasoning for always ditching school.>Prime numbers. Where're those gonna get me?It's just a small panel near the start but it primes his character so well.
>>288044913OBABA OBABA OBABAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>288045246The most based GILF fucker I've ever known
SOVL
>>288041797Wenge actually put the effort to learn japanese, as he put effort to be good at table tennisThe average weeb retard who moves to japan think they will magically learn japanese without studying or behaving like a japanese would behave and then act surprised when it has been 2 years and they still haven't learned shit
I've never seen another anime evoke the feeling of there being absolutely no tension in the final episode, I wouldn't even know how to properly explain it
Great little bit of animation.
>>288043056No man so gud but anaza mei bi az gud az hii
How's the movie?
>>288038484this
>>288038375i'm quite literally the drifter guy with the long hair
>>288043878For me, it's the scene where Smile trips while sending back the ball, Peco looks concerned but still decides to keep the game goingRealest nigga moment
>>288043878I didnt cry. I just didnt get ut. Can somone pls explain whats suppoesd to be conveyed in this weird song?Genuinely asking, am brainlet
>>288046676SHAAA!
