>Is the og anime any good?
That's a difficult question. It's a "good" adaptation of the first 22 volumes, with an anime original ending. I definitely enjoyed it when I watched it God knows how long ago, but I don't know if I'd be able to watch it and enjoy it again, after having read the manga. Also, Rukawa's fangirls. They scream. A LOT. And that's why the manga is the superior version, because you don't have to hear them screaming 2147 times per episode. But with all that said, the anime has a beautiful soundtrack and the first OP is the most beautiful song ever produced for a sports anime. If only Rukawa's fangirls were not there to ruin everything. If only.
