aim for the ace

[davemerrill]

The entire show has finally been fan-subbed and it is one hundred percent worth your time.



Hiromi the reluctant high school tennis player, Ochofujin the glamorous star of the high school team, the mysterious coach, the rival players and schools - they all collide on the tennis court! Only 26 episodes, go check it out. Animation by Madhouse for TMS, directed by Osamu Dezaki, what's not to like?

I used to have this on laserdisc, watched it a couple times. Somebody in Murfreesboro, Tennessee bought the box from me on eBay a while ago, which always made me wonder who it was in Murfreesboro, Tennessee that was into shojo sports dramas of the '70s.

I echo the recommendation, anyway. For newer-school-ish anime fans, bonus enjoyment can be had by discovering how Gainax stole nearly all of the plot and character arcs for Gunbuster from a show about tennis.

I should have posted this to the Classic Anime LJ community instead of my own LJ. Well, it's there now.

I met that guy at an AWA one year, unless there's more than one person in Murfreesboro with an AIM FOR THE ACE laserdisc box.

Well, if you see him again tell him thanks for buying that off me, I needed the money and a laserdisc collection is a king bitch when you have to move.
