[alexdonnelly]

monarchist, get your mountain of kleenex ready. Imma need it.

[a few words]

Okay, so words. I didn't like the music, the cutting to Seigaku (outta my Rikkai movie!) and all the panning of still shots. ANIMATE FUKUBUCHOU MORE. Oh, and they really did a number on his BAMF aura, but that comes later.

For all the faults I found with this OVA (and the animation adaptation of

Lol, I was fixing my parents' old comp when I saw this and dude --- your post BROKE the comp!

Okay, it didn't break the comp entirely, it just froze the browser and I had to restart. The comp couldn't handle the sheer awesomeness that is Sanada. *nod nod* I understand.

But wow so many screenshots! I swear, every other second I was watching, I was thinking "mmm, Alex would like this", "yup, she'd like this too", "ooh even I like this, she's gonna go nuts" or something like that, lol. So much spazz, so awesome. :D Sanada wearing his cap backwards was so much love!

... ... ...

I can't identify Sanada by his hands or jaw though. ;A;!! *crawls into a corner to wallow in shame*

I AM SO SORRY! |||OTL

I tried to have a warning but I'm so used to my new(er) computer that I forget sometimes it's not like that for everyone. It took me 15 seconds to load just now and I was all COME ON. Haha.

But yes, let us say that Sanada's Fukubuchou-ness overwhelmed the browser. *nods along*

This OVA was SO MUCH SANADA LOVE. I mean, they messed up a few things, but I don't see how any Sanada fangirl (or tenipuri fangirl, really >__>) didn't LOVE it. Yeah, I know I'm incredibly biased, but LOOK AT HIM GROW. Seeing him go from a four-year-old to a forty fifteen-year-old was fantastic. Guh. I LOVE SANADA SO MUCH. <33333333

LOL Don't worry! That's what my journal is here for! It's entertaining as well as educational! ...clearly I need to spam Sanada more often. ;D

Lol, my parents' computer is really ancient, that's why. My own laptop can handle Sanada. Your new challenge is to overwhelm my laptop, okay? Go for it~! XD

[alexdonnelly]

Challenge accepted. XDD

The manga was hard to read (because I love Sanada too much, lol) but it was quite a long time ago. I do so love seeing the evolution of his hat, too!! I wonder how he'll wear it in high school? /needs a life

Haha, I don't really know his just but his hand and jaw, but kinda. I think it's more that I enjoy those screenshots, even if you can't really tell it's him, I KNOW it's him, orz.

Ahahaha! That's great! I probably wouldn't have recognized the guy either, unless we had been friends or something. Or, I suppose, if I had had a mad crush on him. XD But I bet you would have remembered him if his eyes got bloodshot from high blood pressure, though. XDDDD

O_O login to my LJ and I find this?! My kokoro....it...buh...I couldn't watch the full OVA in one sitting I had to spread it out over the day. I just had to many feelings about it. I knew what was going to happen, and that made it even worse.

HOWEVER I commend you for doing this. Thanks so much!

[alexdonnelly]

I KNOW. I put it off for as long as I could, but then I had to watch this OVA. My heart burst and broke so many times watching it. ;__; Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still dreaded it. Sanada~~

I'm glad you enjoyed the post anyways. :)

LOL! THIS is pretty much what I was thinking while I was watchin the OVA!

But I haven't read the manga and I watched the OVA just to see Yukimura, but when i saw chibi Sanada my heart went out to him completely! I watched him the entire time... and felt so many things, that I can't comprehend..

I was spazzing for the most part, but I was probably doing something like ~_~ awwwwwwwww...

HE'S SO COOL!!.. God he's hot!... ohhh, the poor thing*sobs*.. wait… what's happening?!.. are we still playing tennis.. is he.. dying?... did YUKI kill him!! with tennis?.. wait, He's aliiiive! AND HE CAME BACK AS THE DEVIL!!?!

Yuki? oh right u were playing too.. and ur angry.. cause u didn't kill him?!.. oh right, this is tennis..?

Fuji, Yuta wer'd u guys come from?

SANAYUKI <3 wait.. did he lose?... Damn you Yuki, you glorious bastard!... Sa.na.da *reaches out hand

[alexdonnelly]

Ahaha! I'm glad I'm not the only one who had completely foreign emotions running rampant while watching this OVA.

Sanada is just... there are no words to describe him. He's amazing and I love him. This OVA just pulled me in deeper. And I'm glad you read the manga! It's so much better than the animation, at least in my opinion.

I’m trying to catch up with the tenipuri fandom and I’ve just started watching the National Tournament OVAs and recently Shinpuri, ever since a friend of mine convinced me to watch it. I’m not into sports manga, but she said there’d be tons bishies and she wasn’t kidding! EVERYONE’S A BISHIE *U* There's so many, I can’t even count @u@

I’ve finished the first manga, And I’ve become a Rikkai, Hyotei, Shitenhouji & Seigaku fan in less than a week. I love them all and everyone’s such a unique character, but SANADA’s the one that seems to really stand out for me…I don’t know why though…I’m still trying to comprehend how this is related to tennis..

glad I found your posts, nice to know someone shares my new-found Sanada fanaticism.

[alexdonnelly]

Oh, well welcome to the fandom! As you've already seen, it gets quite addicting because there are so many interesting characters. I hope you stay awhile~

I bet you could switch any sport/obsession out with tennis and the series would still be amazing. I mean, they could be playing croquet and these boys would be super intense about it. XD

I LOVE SANADA. In fact, most of my friends do, too. So you're not alone!
