Popular franchise Prince of Tennis will be getting a new anime installment as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations for next year!
Titled New Prince of Tennis: Hyoutei vs. Rikkai: Game of Future, the anime will feature a new story pitting the rival teams of Hyoutei Academy and Rikkaidai Junior High. It will be supervised by original author Konomi Takashi, who also released an illustration of the two teams to mark the occasion.
Kawaguchi Keiichirou is set to direct the new project, with Hirota Mitsutaka for the script, and Ishii Akiharu for character design. All three have been closely involved with past Prince of Tennis anime titles.
