You know.. I literally fell in love with the PoT anime when I first watched it back in 2016. Like, after finishing all the episodes, including the NPoT, OVA's, Specials, and Movies, I always watched it again and again and again. Well... Except for the NPoT OVA. I've honestly only watched it 2 times, the latest was just recently. The reason? It's just that the first time I finished the NPoT series, it made me feel-- empty.
I've never read the manga before, so I started reading it after finishing all episodes again. And I can say, it was splendid and wonderful, really! Especially knowing that there are parts in the manga they haven't included in the series, or changed (like Kirihara and Fuji's match), and how they added fillers in the series that is not part of the manga (like Tezuka and Fuji's match before nationals). It was very awesome! I don't care if there are parts missing, changed, or added. It's still the Prince of Tennis that I love.
Anyways, after reading NPoT, albeit still ongoing, it made me feel even more empty. After seeing Echizen's eyes like this ( http://iweb6.mangapicgallery.com/r/newpiclink/new_prince_of_tennis/141/f0d8a809d2ea9de9782a10fae548370b.jpeg ), and seeing that Seigaku is no longer the focus of the story, is just--- I have mixed feelings, actually. Even Fuji and Oishi don't have as much screen time like the other players. I miss them. I miss Fuji and Tezuka side by side each other, I miss Eiji and Oishi playing together, I miss Kawamura's 'Buurrnniinnggg!!', I miss Inui's coaching and torment of juices to them, I miss Kaidoh and Momo bickering always, and I miss Echizen being with his senpais.
Although I don't hate the NPoT, nor dislike it, it's just that it feels lonely and empty. I just hope that we could get to see Seigaku TC all together again playing and bonding ToT
PS. I always cried or at least tear up, whenever Fuji, Oishi, Tezuka, and Echizen plays. Maybe because the other 2 is no longer playing with them.
PPS. If ever this gets reanimated or continued, I just hope that their seiyuu stays the same. I just looovveee how they carry their characters, especially Fuji's. Yuki Kaida <3 <3

It's good to know that Raymond is obviously in to Ian. Love? Maybe. Obsession? Definitely.
It was one thing when you needed someone, but it is another thing when you cage them. I mean, I can empathize with Raymond. I might also do the same thing if I experienced what he went through. But that is also why I know it's very very wrong, albeit Raymond himself seemed confused and did not know what he is doing. It might've looked like Ian is the one who needs freedom (although he really does need it), I think Raymond needs it the most.
He's trapped in his past. I know it's hard, but if he is freed by it, they both will be. If Ian is the only one freed, Raymond would still be left trapped, and I don't personally want that. Both of them are unknowingly-- confusingly, slowly falling in a downward spiral.
PS. Psychological tag should've been put up on this..

This is ssooo beautiful! Music and bl is tea!! However, I can't imagine how this goes in the end T_T. Like, what will their relationship will become?? Will it end with Gu Si's name written on the history right beside Charles' name? Will this end similarly, but not really, to how Scarlet Heart Ryo of kdrama ends? T_T T_T Or did Gu Si really played a role of how Charles' became before the former was even born in the present time? You know.. Like how his fate really is to travel back time to help Charles achieve what he became, so that what Charles became in the future will also be able to help him in the present in return.
Anyways, I understand if you don't get what I mean. It's hard to explain, but that's what I think. Three possible scenario's that might become the ending, but the ending might not be like one of these three.

There's no "bad Tasara is the real one" nor "good Tasara is the real one". When you think of what the other Tasara said, the 'good' Tasara isn't even really good. He is just a little less violent, for a lack of better term, than the 'bad' Tasara is. I've commented this already, but both are the real one, which is Tasara.
When a coconut called number1 is split in half, you can't say that the other half is the only original coconut number1, but both are. It's like DID, but in a different way because this developed when he's already waaay past 6 yrs old (which doesn't happen in reality). Anyways, this is just my say about this __is-the-true-Tasara thing. In the end, we'll eventually find it out.
PS. It's a relief knowing that Tasara is already at his early twenties, but does anyone thought or question how old Nara already is?? I know I do. Since the beginning.

Evil Tasara or good Tasara, they are still Tasara. I just hope that at the end, neither will disappear but instead, became completely as one. Also, duuddee!! The moment Haga, that snake, said the young priest is the real problem and that he should pay him a visit, then transform into a fuckin' very fine human, shit I snapped!! I simped for them both! Ship ship shiiiiippppp!!!!!!!!!
PS. Dahaaann!! I thought he would have a significant role in the story considering he became Naga's first friend that time, but-- T-T T-T
PPS. I don't know why, but I feel like there is something wrong with Haran, his sister. And the Princess.. I don't know if it is good or bad but-- Hmmm... Are they one?
Damn. I really want to see tears. Whether it be during you-know-what, or some drama, to add more depth of feeling to the story..
