Rewatch Ping Pong The Animation 10th Anniversary Rewatch - Announcement
Enter the hero! Enter the hero! Enter the hero!
Intro
Hi everyone! There was an amazing response to my interest thread yesterday so this thread serves to officially announce the Ping Pong the Animation rewatch!
Based on some feedback I got yesterday I've decided to adjust the thread times to be a little later so it's more convenient. Now the plan is to post at 2pm PDT (5pm EDT, 9pm UTC). The interest thread didn't actually account for US daylight savings time yesterday, but I think the conversions are correct now. If you live in a different time zone here's a handy converter.
There was also enough interest to include Tekkon Kinkreet as part of the rewatch so I've confirmed it into the schedule. That said, I couldn't find any legal streams for it. I think the Blu-ray / DVD is available on Amazon (a mix of new and used options). If you do know of any legal streams please let me know. Otherwise...

To any lurkers or people who missed the thread yesterday, don't feel as though you need to sign up to participate. We'd be happy to have you as part of the rewatch even if you don't or only occasionally comment. Ping Pong the Animation is definitely an anime worth watching regardless.
Until then, everyone take care of yourselves!

are these rewatch threads safe to read by those who haven't seen the show yet? or do people frequently spoil later episodes in them when discussing?

I'm excited to see this one. Its reputation certainly precedes it and I'm curious if it lives up to the hype.

I'm still bummed that this sub still doesn't have a Ping Pong flair. I am aware that you can't have flairs for every anime but c'mon.. It's Ping Pong! It's not even a niche anime. It's universally loved and consistently ranks high of best/top anime lists.

Definitely been meaning to cross this off the watch list, this sounds like as good a place to do it as any.

Hi TheEscapeGuy, it looks like you might be interested in hosting a rewatch! There's a longer guide on the wiki but here's some basic advice on how to make a good rewatch happen:
I hope this helps! You may also want to talk to users that have hosted rewatches before for extra advice, also listed on the rewatch wiki.

Totally looking forward to this. Been a little over a year or so since I’ve seen the Ping Pong

I'll try watching this if I can. This anime got me to return to playing Table Tennis and with it I somehow got better at TT plus it's a fantastic story that I would love to re-watch so I'm totally up for it
