THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I found this episode sort of funny and more light weight than the others, and it was nice because I was in the sort of mood for something like that anyway.
I really liked the train scene.

Thoughts people?

I liked the part when they were thinking about Momoe's age. I wonder what they were really thinking

Momokan ecchi is what I need....my guess is that she's in her early twenties. ;)

Starting work on #6 already. Toshiaki was able to get it done fast this week. #7 might be a little slower due to him leaving town again though. Hope to have 6 out Sunday or Monday.

Scary foreshadowing is SCARY. Roka is looking to be a great antagonist-if Nishiura wins this next game, they'll play Bijou, I assume, and Roka definitely has something planned for taking Abe down a notch or worse.
But FINALLY WE HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT HAMADA'S BACKGROUND. And Momokan's age. Those two really need their respective chances to stand closer to the forefront.

Other than that, so many great slice-of-life moments as per usual, and yay for Mihashi managing real conversation with not only Abe, but Hanai! The rest of the team following these conversations earnestly was a little heart-warming; they have trouble dealing with Mihashi, but they really do want him to gain confidence, something which was clearest in Abe but is not limited to him.

Yay for an fast release this week. :)

I love Abe's evil laugh there. Yep, Abe is definitely meddlesome. It's fun.

I love Hanai's thought of boderline there. That was really funny.

Also, cute with the cheergirls and how the boys blushed at their outfits.

Great episode as always. A-1's doing a very good job adapting Oofuri and this is by far the best series they have ever done (along with the first season of course). Oh and story-wise, now begins the biggest match up of the manga versus the anti-strating Sayama team. Can't wait to see everything animated, it will definitely be huge (and long, the match will probably last for the next 12 or 13 episodes at least).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Shouldn't the biggest match be with Bijou? At least that's what seem to be implied so far...

Oh god.. Mihashi is such an exhausting person... I feel for Abe. I don't think I could handle him for so long.

Cute episode. Were there this many girls in the manga?? If it's not a filler my mind must have blocked them when I read it >_>

A very nice relaxed episode. I laughed a lot at Tajima's Momokan melon routine, and at Hanai's "borderline age difference" thought XD

Momokan is 23 years old....LMAO.....I had a weird feeling that Roka would fall in love with her but it looks kinda unlikely but it can happen. Afterall, a 3-year age gap is nothing in romance. =P

Episode 07....gonna have to wait for it. >_>

I've been thinking the same thing. And the more they focus on Mihashi's nearly total reliance on Abe, the more I think Abe will be taken out completely at some point during that game - probably due to injury.

Injury, maybe, though it would suck hard if Abe ended up breaking his no injury/sicknesses promise.
I'm worried that Roka will cheat or do something similarly underhanded-mostly because cheating is really overused in any kind of sport or fighting show that has a set of rules, and would be difficult to use as a plot device without it becoming annoying.

Well, I think someone made a thread for episode 7 yesterday or the day before that, the user put a HUGE spoiler in it....literally what is going to happen in this series. Since, I read the manga, its not much of a problem for me. However, the above poster's prediction.....

Haha its funny how the guys on the team are always watching over any conversation involving Mihashi and are surprised whenever someone succeeds in getting a real conversation going with him.

This episode was very enjoyable.
Great moments included Tajima pretending to be Momo-kan, Momo-kan enticing the baseball boys with the revelation of her age, the moms talking about TV and stripping of dance club

Amazing; one of the 16 year-old boys is attracted to the lady with the giant breasts. Maybe they aren't all gay after all.

Really, Fronzel?

Anyways, nice pause between games. I laughed when the two girls tossed aside the coats and the guys went all red. XD

Coach is a wee bit younger than I thought.

Looking forward to the game. :D

I guess their match against Bijou will be the last Arc of this season. I better prepare myself for the worst. :( Abe might be injured intentionally or something like that.
