The Prince of Tennis Watch Order
19 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Tennis no Ouji-sama
The Prince of Tennis watch order runs all 178 original episodes first, then adds the films and a stack of OVAs, mostly in release order with story order taking priority where they differ. Begin with episodes 1-178, following prodigy Ryoma Echizen through Seishun Academy's rise. Next come the A Day of the Survival Mountain OVA and the two January 2005 films, Atobe's Gift and Futari no Samurai: The First Game, then the National Tournament OVAs (episodes 1-13, 14-19, 20-26) and the two Another Story OVAs, followed by the Showdown in England's Tennis Fortress film (September 2011) and the Ryoma! film, which was released in 2021 but is set right after the original series' National Tournament final, so it comes before the sequel. The sequel run starts with The New Prince of Tennis (13 episodes) and its OVAs, then the two-episode Hyotei vs. Rikkai ONA (2021), and continues with the U-17 World Cup, its Semifinal, and the Final Member Selection Match, which is still airing.
