Oh, look, /there's/ my fandom...

「テニスの王子様」
終わりました。終わってしまったとは言えないくらい長かったので、びっくりなど出来ません。
I was going to title this post "Tennis is over... again"... but then realized I didn't know how many times I'd used that title already... AniPuri, Sho-dai Myu Cast, Ni-dai Myu Cast. At this point they've desensitized me to endings. There's still 100-song Marathon, there's still National Finals OVAs, there's still a half-dozen musicals at LEAST... when RajiPuri ends, /then/ I'll probably cry. >.>

But the manga is over. Finally.

Not like we didn't all know what was coming anyway...

I read these here so they're tiny, but at least still in Japanese.
There was very little dialogue in this Genius, mostly just images under the lyrics of a song (see below for more details on that). It will work better animated...but it makes me worry about how they'll finish this in the musical... no dialoge is hard to work with on stage.
Yukimura looked pretty though. And /Sanada/ was the one accepting the 2nd-place plaque... and didn't look pleased.
NOW CANON: KAIDOH is Buchou next year and hands out laps like a pro. All three ichinen go on to be awkward-looking ni-nen, and Katsuo gets blonde fuzzy hair (think 1st-year Oishi).
I'm a bit annoyed that he sent the brat to America anyway. I wanted Echizen to care more about his team than that. But then.... yeah. At least now Tennis in Japan can go back to being normal. So, canon says that Echizen moves back to New York (why they were still speaking Japanese, I don't know), Kaidoh is Buchou, Sanada /didn't/ backhand Yukimura (figures) and... that pretty much covers it. No sight of any of the former san-nen after they move on to High School, so there you have it.
Now go play fandom, he said /nothing/ about anyone from other schools. He gave you free reign. :P


NOT spoilery is this: TWO NEW UNITS~! (and singles)
1) 「イケメン侍」 (Echizen, Atobe, Sanada, Shiraishi <3, Yukimura <3<3, Tezuka<3<3, and Kite<3<3<3.)
Details are hard to read but it looks like the song featured in this Genius "Dear Prince~テニスの王子様へ" was a coordination between SCRIPT and Konomi-sensei. It'll be released as the single for this group, and there will be a Konomi-sensei message to his characters too. The group name translates to "Pretty-Boy Samurai", but it did say that Sensei came up with it so... yeah. *head -> desk*
2) 「トング隊」 (Chinen <3, Tanishi and Kabaji). If my head hits his keyboard any harder, I'll have permanent damage. It's supposed to be a comedy single though... and the title is "YA・KI・NI・KU" so it has that moment of reminding me of my Myuboys, just a litte.

In other news, I slept until Jenni called me at 10:30, have done nothing but this today, and at this point, probably won't. Damnit. So much for a productive Friday morning.
