Reviews:

  • User Shayleatone (Score: 7/10):
    I noticed in these that disappointed me was when everyone talked their mouths didn't move sort of like when one was talking to themselves except in these episodes their mouths didn't move even when talking to each other. It reminded me of a comic strip except that it was able to be heard and read, threw me off a bit since it was far from the original anime, the stories were not bad. These were a few short stories about students from other school, some of our regulars showed up every now and then. They were still interesting short stories. They showed a different side to quitea few characters.nnThis is still not a continuation of the original after finals nor is it a have to watch before Prince of Tennis II. But it didn't suck either once you get past the mouths not moving and just pay attention to the story...
