Ping Pong the Animation

Next show overview: Five talented ping pong players confront the challenges of high-stakes competition and the daunting task of self-discovery.

Makoto Tsukimoto, nicknamed Smile, is a quiet high school student who has been friends with energetic Yukata Hoshino, nicknamed Peco, since childhood. They are both talented table tennis players in their school club, with Smile's natural ability hindered by his introverted personality, allowing Peco to consistently win against him. The club teacher recognizes Smile's potential and aims to help him develop the competitive drive to succeed.
