Kong Wenge comes China, the country which is the best at Ping Pong. He see's it as a punishment to have to play in Japan in order to make a living because he was kicked off of China's top team. What I really liked about this episode was that Wenge actually spoke Chinese, I thought it was an interesting touch to add to the episode.

2021-03-08 15:48:38 +0000 UTCWhen you said the art reminds you of something you didn't know, maybe you've probably seen images from Tekkonkinkreet? It's another work by the same author, Taiyo Matsumoto, which also got a movie around 2006. And yeah, the themes you're talking about during the ED theme are exactly what the story will jump into. I'm very excited to see you dive in to what this show has to offer :)

2021-03-07 20:47:50 +0000 UTCYesssss! I have wonderful memories of the live action film from 2002. It had an amazing OST from Supercar, this shoegaze band that transitioned into electronic music, much like Radiohead did around the same time.
