Everything I learned in life, I learned from Tenipuri

For example, tennis makes you friggin' crazy! And Hyotei are the NY Yankees of junior high tennis.

Less Atobe hate this time around. I think I got my timing mixed up for when his true fandom started. A few episode chunks after this. But his respect for Tezuka makes me respect him, even if I think Tezuka is an IDIOT. You do not endanger your arm like that! I just wanted to grab him and shake him, screaming that.

Off to the miyu. Will do my usual marathon reaction post afterward.

Do your best!

ETA: I don't know if I'm really up for anything else tonight. I thought I'd be, but I sacrificed the nap that would have helped me function for Tenimiyu time. I may suck, but I'm HAPPY. =P

So Hyotei miyu...God, I am so high on Tenimiyu right now! I almost have no words, but I did have a teeny tiny problem, which was more of my lack of understanding the Japanese language and still missing many of the jokes.

Ah yes, almost forgot. Katsu no wa Hyotei! Makeru no Seigaku!! I almost want to give it sparkles, but that would be wrong. And scary.

CHEERS
1. ATOBE: Katou Kazuki
-Tenimiyu!Atobe definitely made me LOVE the character. He was awesome in every possible way. And he looked killer hot when he stole Tezuka's glasses at the end. I admit I cheered for him. I couldn't help shouting the Hyotei chant along with the gang. His song after his "prowess" line. His hand in front of his face pose. His finger snap. His dead-on look. His look of dispair when Tezuka lost. Nothing wasn't glorious about this guy. I hereby declare my never-ending love for Tenimiyu!Atobe.
2. Gakuto: Aoyagi Ruito
-Again, another Tenimiyu character that transformed my detest into delight. I miss the bouncy Nagayama and Gakuto filled his place in every way. His acrobatic play had me clapping in glee. Him and Yuushi doing the Hyotei chant was probably the first part that really yanked me into the miyu.
3. Jirou: Takuya
-I adore anime Jirou so it's no surprise I was all over Tenimiyu!Jirou. In a word, he was perfect. I only wish he could have had a song about how much he lovedadmired Fuji. He needed more time on stage. ;_;
4. The Rivals: Wada Masato, Shiozawa Hidemasa, JURI & Kawakubo Yuuki
-Sengoku, Mizuki, Akutsu and Dan. It was great seeing all of them again and though I missed Yuuta, Sengoku helped ease the pain. Along with Hyotei, these guys stole the show, as they always do. Seigaku just isn't cool enough to keep the love. Mizuki vs. Momo was precious. And let's not forget the song to Ryoma. I think Tezuka deserved it more though. But Yanagi technically deserves it too because of how damn hard he tries for these miyus despite his accident.

I need to watch again, but just the last half this time. Must make sure I'm chanting the Hyotei mantra throughout work tomorrow.
