I think you should write up a proper pimping post, one of these days. :) And then write Hiromi/Maki. At a sleepover. Where they cuddle their Ryoma plushies and watch Prince of Tennis.
Also, I had something thinkier to say, about this blog I found somewhere that talked about Hiromi's girlcrush in the anime. I will have to dig that up; it was really interesting.
Found it! (http://okazu.blogspot.com/search/label/Aim%20for%20the%20Ace) There might be mild spoilery things for the anime OVA? The anime post is the third one on the page. :)
I used to watch that when I was a kid. Madame Butterfly had Tsubasa (from Captain Tsubasa)'s voice in Spanish. But I never got hooked to "Golden Racket" (as it was called in my country). I have always hated tennis. Since we had a wide range of choice in sports at that time (1990-), I went for the volleyball series instead. There was one that was as old as this one!
You are a true sports series fan, I see. I can't swallow most of them :D
The problem with Captain Tsubasa is that the old (anime) series is probably too told for you to properly enjoy it *now*, and the new versions aka remakes are ::insert puke here:: So I am not one to encourage you to watch it at all costs. I think the manga is a good start, though. You said you were getting English scanlations, right?
THAT LOOKS SO FAMILIAR. wow. (Also, in this whole time you and Garland have been talking about this show, I somehow thought it was live action and not an anime.)
The anime is from the 80s, I think. (The manga was 70s vintage.) The live action is a lot more recent. You should see them both.
THAT LOOKS SO FAMILIAR.
EXACTLY. When I was watching the live action for the first time -- fall of 2005, I think -- I would pace around my apartment after some of the eps, thinking about Tezuka and Ryoma. I got SO much insight from this show. Plus, it's just the most awesome thing on its own.
In one of the episodes, their match gets super intense and colorful and they sort of fly at each other. I nearly choked. *_* (http://www.livejournal.com/manage/invites.bml)
WAAAAH! I am crying! The lovey disk you sent me doesn't work -- do I need a special codec for it? I want to see tennis girls! In lavender! Eating hamburgers and saying 'boku'!
Can you not read the disk? Or can you see the files but not play them? I sent you the live-action, so I think there's less lavendar. But still cool, cool girls.
It won't read the disk at all -- nothing shows, and then after a few seconds of Windows Media Player being open but nothing showing, the computer freezes and crashes. Weird, isn't it? *boggles*

I could stare at this cap forever. I always knew there was a reason Tezuka wore purple.
