| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Better than last episode which was a snore down to the meat and potatoes of baseball though if you're not a baseball fan...well if you're not a baseball fan why you watching this to begin with? LOL. Well though now I'm getting a pretty sinking feeling poor Yuki is gonna die. It felt like a grim scene... |

| I'm not a baseball fan and I enjoy this show. I honestly wonder why it seems like this show is getting a lot of hate. I think it's pretty good and I anticipate the rest. |
| Another great episode. I really do wonder if they will be able to make it to nationals. I hope they do, but like with what Yuki said, it's the journey there that counts, so I won't be that disappointed if they don't make it. Minami thinks differently though. Love that makeshift choir that Minami pulled together, too. And it did really feel like Yuki was throwing out death flags left and right...it's likely at this point that she could die. |
| I don't count myself as a baseball fan. But I'm a manager(or at least will graduate from university with "manager's" diploma soon) so I like it ). And about hate. This show is aimed for quite narrow auditory so of cause it's not liked by average watchers. |

| I really liked the scene when they were counting for Kutsuki 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 .. 6 ! |
| Shit is getting real now, they have to play last year's runner up. |
| Didn't Minami behave pretty mean against Yuuki? Or is it just me? |

ByeByeMrMoon said: I wouldn't say she was mean. Minami told Yuuki what she thought. Sure she got pretty emotional saying it, but i guess that just shows how she cares about the team and Yuki, and how she wants them all to get to the natonals together.Didn't Minami behave pretty mean against Yuuki? Or is it just me? argilium said: QFT, thank you.i actually think that it's because we're not fans of baseball or the sports genre in general that we enjoy this show.. notice the way it skips a lot on the games (no player as a main protagonist, so far no buzzer beater or critically dangerous moments, no excessive player character monologue, no audience from other team commenting on plays, no game taking more than 2 eps or even half an ep, etc) and they focus more on managing the team and exemplifying more stuff from that darn book.. heck, i wouldn't watch this show if it's a straight up baseball anime in the first place.. the premise and the title said it all on what's it actually about and so far, i'm getting what i expected.. |

| I thought this episode would go like this. The first match they played would take the entire episode and it would be a close match and then the rest of the matches would be easy and then become difficult in the semifinals. That was pretty mean of Minami. Yuki was just saying what she thought and Minami just shot her down. Yuki was only saying what she thought the team was to her and what they were doing. |

| Good episode. |

Redfoxoffire said: I'm not a sports fan, but I do like sports anime. As for the hate, people are probably comparing it to other baseball anime they've seen. I know I can't help but see this show as inferior to the other two I've watched (Cross Game and Ookiku). That doesn't make this show bad; it just sort of pales in comparison. If you like this one I'd say watch those other two I mentioned.I'm not a baseball fan and I enjoy this show. I honestly wonder why it seems like this show is getting a lot of hate. I think it's pretty good and I anticipate the rest. I thought it was great how they were cheering for the pitcher using his favorite song. I should've known there was something more to it the way they'd mentioned the song in previous episodes. "1... 2... 3... 4..." reminded me of "Lead, lead, lead, GO!" in Ookiku. Good times. I liked this episode quite a bit. ^_^ |

| Dear Minami, When your friend Yuuki was talking about effort versus results as per the team, she wasn't talking about effort versus results as per the team. Please try to read the mood in the future. Respectfully yours, Captain Subtext |

| Why did Kutsuki quit the track team? He had like a harem since it's like all girls... I expect them to lose. Seriously though, I hate to say it, but where the fuck are the Toshiyas? |

| Why does the insert music at around 20:00 sound so familiar? Anyone know what I'm talking about or am I just crazy? :P |
HatenaZubon said: Why does the insert music at around 20:00 sound so familiar? Anyone know what I'm talking about or am I just crazy? :P Yes, its very Cross game-ish, the clean overdrive guitar and pronounced bass. But it might be just the style of baseball anime music now. Anyway I've never seen so many left handed batters as in this episode. |
HawthorneKitty said: ^haha I noticed that too! perhaps he prefers sausage fest XDDWhy did Kutsuki quit the track team? He had like a harem since it's like all girls... best episode so far, I'm glad their hard work finally yields some fruit. I hope they keep it up :D |
| A sacrifice squeeze with no outs and a man on 3rd. How freaking dumb can a team get? I know it isn't real but you'd think they'd use some baseball logic |

Game_Master said: I really liked the scene when they were counting for Kutsuki 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. 4 .. 5 .. 6 ! That crowd was awesome. I actually got a little teary eyed at the singing scene. Despite my apathetic state, i have acquired my parent's trait to cry at the most random things. |

| best episode so far IMHO this getting interesting |

| As somebody who doesn't really know a lot about baseball...what is it they're counting for right before kutsuki runs? ^^" |
