"Makoto Tsukimoto (nicknamed Smile) is a quiet high-schooler who's been friends with the loud and energetic Yukata Hoshino (nicknamed Peco) since childhood. They're both in the local table tennis club and both have a natural talent for it, although Smile's personality always prevents him from winning against Peco. The club teacher, however, notices Smile's talent and tries to make him gain some sportive tenacity."
After following three episode rule I can say for certain that this show, Mushishi and JoJo proved to be the best this season has to offer. It has interesting characters you'll fall in love with, beautiful, realistic story, awesome OP and lots and lots of style. It's definitely AOTY material and there are only six episodes out at the moment. If you like quality sports anime give this one a try!
Here are some screenshots from last episode:
I dropped Captain Earth because it's beyond bad and started watching Chaika instead.
