This is about girls playing tennis being manlier than war movies, mysterious, unrelenting coaches, and slamming your breasts into the concrete.

Sorry the sound quality was a little crap on this one. More after the cut.
This movie has some crazy stylization.
And sweaty, scary, manly girls.
It also has lesbian tension!
The director came up with some really interesting visuals.
There’s lots of split screen.
This shot has both Osamu Dezaki’s “postcard memories” and split screen tics in the same image!
This movie also features a lot of breast surfing in the name of tennis.
No, I really mean it. It happens a lot.
I bet you didn’t know tennis was so hardcore!
Here’s a well worn example of the Japanese VHS release.
Here’s the Aim for the Ace! soundtrack.
This is the Aim for the Ace! manga.
In France, Aim for the Ace! was known as Game, Set, & Match.
In Italy, the series is known as Jenny The Tennis Player.
Even the manga got foreign releases!
Here’s the cover for the rather bad Super Famicom game. For the truly curious, an English fan translation is available on the internet as this game was never localized for release in English on the Super Nintendo.
Here’s some video footage of the game in action.
Here’s the trailer for the movie.
And finally, this is the opening for the movie.
