But it's more of a sports show and god forbid we need more girls' sports show in this anime environment!

They look a bit too developed for middle school.

They look like they are in high school and finally a watchable Ping Pong anime, the other Ping Pong anime had abysmal art.

Ping Pong The Animation is one of the most beautiful anime I've seen in my entire life, plus a superb OST and incredible character development, a masterpiece. I know the art looks weird at first but if once you start watching it it becomes not so weird.

This anime looks too moe but I guess I'll give it a chance when it airs.

This is unique. I don't know if you could produce more than 2 seasons on a rather niche sport. Saki probably got multiple seasons in part because of the complexities of mahjong.

Table tennis and mahjong are fairly mainstream pastimes in Japan.

I like the character designs, all-female cast makes me wary though.
