The game was almost perfect if that guy didn't make mistakes and keep caring about it (which this is why the argument after the game was happened).

Now it seems like the reason behind Yuuki saying so in last ep. happened?

Nimi actually did really well there. I thought he would suck and Asano'd have to make up for that. To keep the score at 0 all that time is nice. Pitcher wars FTW!

Yunosuke and his blunders, jeez. I feel sorry for that guy.

And did Yuki seriously just die? o.O
When the episode ended I thought, "Nah, they're faking us out and everything will be back to normal soon enough," but the preview turned that thought around.

The game was exciting, Yunosuke kept messing things up, it was seriously painful to watch. But at least they still won in the end.

Also holy crap, my prediction was right...Yuki died. ;__; Or judging by the preview, she may be in a coma or something? Wouldn't they take the body away if she was dead instead of leaving it in the hospital bed?

Damn that ending and leaving me wondering whether or not Yuki is actually dead. Good episode, good game. Poor Yunosuke, nerves are a bitch.

What's up with the 6.96 average for this show? Surely Moshidora deserves better than that.

It's because the first episodes were pretty bad to be honest.

I thought Yuki had died. Good thing for previews (Seems like she's in a coma, which is still pretty bad)

OR they could be throwing us a curve-ball, and she's just asleep and her family's there to see her after her very successful surgery (O.K. probably not, but I can dream)

Can't blame Yunosuke much, this kind of thing can happen to anyone.
I believe that Yuki condition getting critical but I don't think she die in the end and
I don't think the team will win the final either........maybe.

Why did every other team lost? Because they didnt have "the book".

Now, Minami team got 2 books! That garantys them victorys up till the end of season 2. If one of the other teams had a book they might have standed a chance, but No-book-No-chance!

Never underestimate the power of "the book!"

The sports action was really top notch in this one, this episode was very sports-anime-like (not wtih the over-the-top stuff but had me on the edge of my seat for most of the game). GOod stuff.

Though 'dat ending'... Poor Nadeko, and poor Mio! :P

That match was awesome. I kept thinking it was a real game, so I was shouting so much.

NOPE NOPE Yuki didn't die. Yea that's it she didn't die. She just fell into a coma and will wake up later. Yea that's what happen. Nothing sad is going to happen. NOPE IT WILL HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. I refuse to believe something bad happened to Yuki.

I don't know but I just noticed that at the ending scene the boys cried but it doesn't seem that it's tears of joy or something so either they lose match or ......... :/

well, nice sports action episode we have here.. not so over the top and the source of my tension while watching is Yuunosuke.. he made me say f* like 3 times..

anyway.. my rule in anime has always been.. NEVER EVER SAY AT ONCE THAT AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER IS DEAD UNTIL IT IS CLEARLY STATED OR SHOWN, WE ARE VERY SURE WHERE THE BODY IS, AND OTHER ADDITIONAL PROOF THAT HE/SHE REALLY IS DEAD HAS BEEN SHOWN.. well, at least for now, it applies..

they won the game but got informed that Yuki died only after the match making it a bitter sweet ending?

OMG, that's why i don't want to speculate..

That's exactly what I'm thinking. They win, Yuki was allowed to go out one time to see, and finally, she dies.

this episode completely changed my perspective on this anime. I can't wait for the last two episodes.

hopefully, the score will rise up when the votes of those who dropped it at early eps are ignored as the show finishes.. that usually happens in in shows that don't start with a bang..

I imagine the score will rise when users like me (who don't rate a show until its completion) have seen this through to the end.

When you read the title of the previews we know that Yuki actually died.
Now we got our drama in the end.
I wonder how this going to be on next episode.
She even cried.

Not sure if she's dead, may be just a coma, but the whole family was also there.. but then again, on the preview Minami was there after with a guy from the team, she'd be removed already if dead.

Well, its certainly similar but... It's not in the final game in Koushien [they're trying to get there], so this is not THAT riped off. But I admit I thought about Touch when I saw that Minami was the manager lol

I really don't know what to think. It looks like she died, but at the same time it doesn't. Anyway, it's going to be a great fright to everyone, and getting too emotional on times like this is no good.

No, but seriously, why the hell would they still keep him? They all agreed to remove him from the team for the finals (except Minami of course with her hurrdurr I believe in improvement braaah) and they still decided to keep him? Why in the name of the holy lord would you do that?!

But it was an intense episode, I loved it.

And Yuki died. Well, no surprise there, it was incredibly predictable.

I agree. All he does is screw up. He is such a weak link why are they risking everything for him?

Yunosuke trolled me with that last fail. The music made it seem as if he was going to recover from the first too but nope...

At least they won, but i wonder if Yuki is actually dead now?

What, Yuki died? No way, I TOTALLY didn't expect that from the heavy-handed conversation between her and Minami in episode 7.

Ugh...

The baseball game was exciting, though.

Oh dear, don't they tell at the beginning of every episode that this is a story about how they have gotten to the Koushien, which means they won both semi-finals and finals?

Well, that was expected. If anything, this show is really anticlimactic. The matches lack suspense and excitement because it's trying too hard to be realistic. Staying at a solid 6 so far.

This is where the show goes down for me, and hard. Forget about Yunosuke and how the writer hates him, the part where Minami was like "oh yea we can't replace Yunosuke, let's trust him." was somewhat hypocritical, when she said to Yuuki before, that they will make it to koshien. Not only that, this means that the bench members won't get to play, because just fuck it, trust in Yunosuke, that we will. Was she this kind of character before?

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want Yunosuke replaced, but the way it's written here make it seems like the current team is the main characters, and lets screw the other characters whose name wasn't even mentioned, who cares if they're in the bench, let's give our main characters all the "development" even if they screwed up big time.

Yuuki's death flag, lmao, who didn't see that coming?

Edit: The other team doesn't have any good batter? -_- They are like.. the first seed or something?
