Yup, you heard it right. Tennis no Oujisama has a live action movie. This live action movie introduces Echizen Ryoma as the same genius we all know and love and tells the story of his and Seigaku's matches with Hyoutei Gakuen. But hold on, Hyoutei is probably not the same Hyoutei as we know. After all, they have a new student ^_^. This movie might be patterned after the anime, but the changes, the cinematography, effects and live characters prove it to be a probable awesome watch as well. ^_^
The Seigaku cast, except for Echizen Ryoma, were all taken from the 2nd Seigaku cast in Musical - Tennis no Oujisama. It is quite a treat to see familiar faces in the movie (for Myu fans) since the Hyoutei cast is entirely (except for one) different. However, the Seigaku cast is not the only cast from TeniMyu ^_^. I have here the partial list of cast of characters in the movie. Those in parentheses are their roles in Myu (if any). This information is taken from
Anime News Network.
