It’s suggested to use MPV (https://mpv.io/) or the latest VLC Nightly (https://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win64/). If VLC is lagging: Try increasing the “File caching (ms)” to e.g. 1000ms. Minimum CPU requirements: 2nd Gen i5 and higher. Newer mobile devices should be able to play AV1 using VLC. Performance improvements from the decoder are still work in progress. | | | | --- | --- | | Origin | Japan | | Release Year | 2014 | | Number of Episodes | 11 | | Studio | Tatsunoko Production | | Rating | PG-13 - Teens 13 or older | | Genres | Drama, Psychological, Seinen, Sports | | Score | 8.63/10 (MAL) | **Synopsis**: >"The hero comes. The hero comes. The hero comes. Chant these words in your mind, and I'll surely come to you..." This mantra is what Makoto Tsukimoto repeats as a source of motivation when he fights through the stress of not only grueling ping pong matches, but also in situations of his life. Makoto doesn't fight alone; he and his friend, Yutaka Hoshino, nicknamed Smile and Peco respectively, are two boys who have grown up playing ping pong together nearly every day. Peco, brimming with confidence, aims to be the best table tennis player in the world; Smile, on the other hand, shows little ambition. Nevertheless, the two have always stuck together, with a bond built upon their mutual love for this sport. > >Every year, students from all across Japan gather for the inter-high table tennis competition to achieve national and international stardom. Through intense training and competition, only the very best persevere. | Source | Encode | | --- | --- | |  |  | |  |  |
