“The Prince Of Tennis” English Dub Anime Series Heading To Funimation

Funimation has announced that they have acquired the English dub streaming rights for The Prince Of Tennis which is slated to premiere sometime later this year. The Prince of Tennis is an anime television series animated by Trans Arts, co-produced by Nihon Ad Systems and directed by Takayuki Hamana. Additional details about the English dub are coming at a later date. The entire catalog of The Prince of Tennis is heading to Funimation, but it’s unclear just yet just how much of it will get the English dub treatment, right now, we’re only assuming the initial series.

Based on the legendary manga series of the same name by Takeshi Konomi, The Prince of Tennis follows tennis prodigy Ryouma Echizen on his quest to distance himself from the shadow of his father and prove to be a champion.
