Eleven Arts, a film distributor, has agreed to acquire the North American licensing rights to Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis 3DCG anime film.
Moreover, Eleven Arts has announced the acquisition of the 2021 3D Japanese animated picture entitled Ryōma! Shinsei Gekijōban Tennis no Ōji-sama.
The film acts as a transition between the first and second manga series. Takeshi Konomi, the film’s creator, and screenwriter oversaw its production and supplied music and lyrics to all of the film’s songs.
The film’s plot started with the main star Ryoma landing in the United States. Ryoma is keen to improve his skills and train in the United States after being inspired by his tennis champion father, Nanjiro .
However, Ryoma and Sakuno were sent back to the past while in the middle of a heated tennis match. Ryoma found Sakuno being harassed by a “tennis gang.” Ryoma swings a ball at them to help Sakuno, but ends up hitting a ball tossed by a mysterious wheelchaired man.
At that moment, Ryoma and Sakuno travel back in time when Ryoma’s father Nanjiro was still playing in America as “Samurai Nanjiro.” Ryoma’s father was set to play his final championship match at the US Open when he was unexpectedly forced to retire, as published by the Crunchyroll site.
