Ping Pong: The Animation [Review]

Descrição

In the early 2000s, as broadband home Internet spread nationwide, it finally became possible to see what was new in Japanese media. Thus a generation went from Pokémon straight to ultraviolent fare like Battle Royale and Versus, as well as quirkier teen sports comedies like the homoerotic synchronized swimming tale of Waterboys and a surreal curiosity that was 2002’s Ping Pong. I don’t care about table tennis, and that movie’s awesome. If only Fumihiko Sori’s work since then retained that unique sensibility about it.
