  • Summary: Peco and Smile are members of the high school table tennis club. Peco is charismatic and has a passion for the sport, while Smile is introverted.

Through multiple tournaments and competitions, both Peco and Smile realize what Ping Pong means to each of them. [Imaginasian]… Expand

    There's nothing particularly original or striking about Ping Pong except its style. It's a breezy, likable story, and the director here, Fumihiko Sori, obviously enjoys his work.

    Despite being a little cliché, Ping Pong is a hell of a lot of fun.

    Stylistically stunning and completely nuts, Ping Pong is nevertheless perceptive about male social hierarchies and the benefits of knowing your place.

    There are no surprises in this match, but director Fumihiko Sori makes the games visually thrilling.
