This anime will show the dark side that follows the life of every competitor. And that’s why you need to watch it, no matter what. The story talks about a school where the boys’ soft tennis club is outperformed by the girls’ soft tennis club.

 

This resulted in the disbandment of the club as they were neither producing results nor leading to anything worthwhile. However, things start to take shape when Maki Katsuragi ends up joining the club. And that resulted in a situation that people wouldn’t have expected at all.

 

Maki is a very skilful player who is going to make a name for himself among all the other players. However, he is also going to be the reason for conflicts among club members. And that’s just the beginning of the story.

4. Teekyu

 

 

This anime is absolutely brilliant. And there’s no denying that at all. The show talks about four girls. Let’s put some light on them individually, shall we? Firstly, we have Kanae Shinjou who tends to get bored very easily. And that leads her to break the laws of physics on her own terms.

 

Yes, you heard that correctly. Next up, we have Nasuno Takamiya who is very wealthy and uses her methods to get her work done. I hope you can imagine where this could go. But nothing beats the insanity of Marimo Bandou who would probably be a subject of arrest as she does some of the weirdest things such as eating panties or kidnapping children.

 

A bit too much of madness, right? Well, to put a bit of a pause here, we also have Yuri Oshimoto who is just a normal child and stands as the only member of the school’s tennis club. With all these fun characters coming together to learn and enjoy the sport, insanity is bound to come forward.

 

And that’s why you need to watch this show no matter what.

Aim for the Ace is a fairly old show. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the overall story of this anime is still relevant and manages to entertain the masses without breaking a sweat. The series talks about Hiromi Oka who was inspired by Reika “Ochoufujin” Ryuuzaki as she was playing tennis.

 

Soon enough, Hiromi joins the tennis club and understands the true meaning of this sport and the hardships that follow. Not only that, their school’s tennis club coach also ended up changing, resulting in a situation where even Ochoufujin was challenged.

 

However, Hiromi managed to make space for herself in the team and that’s when things started to get interesting for her. After all, there’s a reason why she is going to be a subject of self-doubt against her seniors.
