Japan does psychological drama: a self-contained beautifully animates story told over 11 episodes with no wasted time. Explores themes of existential angst, inner-tumoil, companionship & finding meaning in life seamlessly and subtly embeds them in a gripping narrative. Created by experts with a masterful understanding of animation as an artform and how to use composition to compliment and highlight the psychological & narrative aspects of the show.
America does a psychological drama: meanders, stalls and fills time with droll puns, wacky side-plots, totally unrealistic characterizations, hamfisted social commentary and tops it off with melodramatic monologues where the characters tell you exactly how to feel and the creators always leaves enough room open at the end for another 12 episodes to be tacked on to further kick the can of resolution down the road. Created by amateurs who don't understand animation as an artform, whose typical composition is lazy 3/4 angle shot after shot for an entire episode, with one added 'interesting' animated sequence in every season that confirms their general attitude towards the show that 'quality' elements have to be deliberately & self-consciously shoved in as opposed to being a natural part of their showmaking philosophy.
I love Ping Pong the animation but I hate when people make threads for shows like this because I'm sure it puts people off from watching those shows. Whether its true or not. Then again nobody takes anything seriously on this board so why should I care, people talk shit about literally everything.

Ping Pong looked gorgeous, even the background characters that look simple are a kind of stylistic design to show how little they matter in regards to the main characters.
Luis Nguyen
Ping Pong is unironically better than most movies you like, one of the few anime genuinely worth watching.
David Harris

Luis Ross
The animation is the only worthwhile thing about Ping Pong.
Ethan Powell

Christian Carter
What's the basic plot?
Tyler Robinson
Hitting balls back and forth across a table with little paddles
Ethan Powell
Where can I watch this ping pong with subtitles
Evan Murphy
Is it a pretty basic sports movie then? I take it one of the characters is an underdog and has a rivalry or something?
Alexander Clark
It's a coming-of-age story with ping pong players as the main characters, essentially. It isn't really about the sport.
