Prince of Tennis, :

I've reconsidered my stance on Jousei. While Hyotei is still definitely Team Prettyboy, Jousei will now forever be to me Team Freakshow, for the following reasons:

And, most damning of all, this, which is seriously the most bizarre receding hairline I've ever seen:

Alien pattern baldness, much? In fact, my first thought, when he appeared on screen, was:





(from Aeon Flux, "End Sinister")

And since I've decided to rename the teams as I see fit, let's list the ones I've met so far!

Yamabuki: Team Who Are These Guys, Again? (seriously, apart from Akutsu and Dan, I couldn't even remember what they looked like.)
St. Rudolph: Team Pissed Off At The World (alternate name: Team Mizuki, What The Hell Are You Wearing?!)
Jousei: Team Freakshow (alternate name: Team Girly, because of the twins and because of their coach's generously-proportioned chest)
Hyotei: Team Prettyboy (alternate name: Team Atobe & His Bitches)
Rokkaku: Team Elizabethan (they have a hexagonal design on their uniform collars, but in long shots, I kept thinking, "Why the hell are they wearing RUFFS?!" Alternate name: Team Look-Alike, because Aoi is clearly Lupin III, Kurobane is Cowboy Bebop's Spike, and the other members all vaguely remind me of characters from other shows, though I can't place them.)

Speaking of Rokkaku, I was pleased as punch that I actually managed to understand a couple of Dabide's (lame) puns without help of the subtitles. Yaourt Girl for the win!

Was that bowling episode hilarious, or what?

Eiji's bandage is not actually part of his face! Kawamura is the missing evolutionary link! Oishi auditions for Terrance and Phillip! News at 6!

Unfortunately, the billiards episode wasn't quite as funny, mainly because we didn't get to see Oishi and Ryuuzaki-sensei in super-competitive mode, nor did we get to see Fuji as a vengeful spirit.

And here's piece of evidence #9825 that this series is taking over my life!

I dreamt I was having a sleepover of some sort (or was on vacation with?) Eiji, and he decided to vacuum the room at 1:30 in the morning, even though I told him he would wake the neighbours. Then, he sang me a cute little lullaby.

Does this mean that in my dreams, I think I'm Oishi? XD


At any rate, after a while the dream shifted, and I was at a super-expensive spa with A-L, where we'd decided to get the cheapest treatment. It was some sort of facial, and they had us lie on our backs side by side on a weird double bed, which they tilted so that our heads were lower than our bodies, only we kept slipping toward the floor. When the treatment was over (I fell asleep during that time, and was mighty frustrated I'd missed out on enjoying the costly experience), the bed started bucking wildly up and down, allowing us to jump high enough to touch the ceiling. Unfortunately, we'd just pulled out our wallets, and the motions of the bed caused all our change to fly up into the air and scatter around the room. A-L and I were laughing uncontrollably at this, but the spa ladies were less than pleased.

Yeah, the only part that struck me as unrealistic was how we were laughing so hard we couldn't speak. I mean, I we would NEVER do that!

You are absolutely right. We are way too serious to do such a thing!
