How to Watch The Prince of Tennis

If you wanted to catch up with The Prince of Tennis before the new anime hits next year, you can now find both the original The Prince of Tennis II anime and The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup now streaming with Crunchyroll. They tease the events of the newest The Prince of Tennis anime as such, "When tennis phenom Ryoma Echizen is kicked out of Japan's elite U-17 training camp for breaking the rules, he's despondent. But a stroke of good luck hits when he's able to try out for the U.S. team. Proving himself against their hardened veterans isn't going to be easy, and if he is accepted, he'll have to play against his former friends. Can he help his new brothers smash their way to victory?"

The Prince of Tennis II: U-17 World Cup Semifinal anime will likely feature a returning staff and cast from the previous anime, but it's yet to be confirmed. That staff included Keiichiro Kawaguchi as director for Studio Kai and M.S.C. with Mitsutaka Hirota as scriptwriter and Akiharu Ishiii as character designer.
