| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, another built-up episode of memories...I really like how everyone is working together and training at night. Gotta swing that bat with energy~ Wait, are those rice balls? Snack and practicing. Nice combo. Anyways, I am really looking forward to the upcoming match. All this hype. The next episode should be what everyone's waiting for. |

| The field practise was intense! The third years once being considered as the hopeless year in their first! Jun wanting to be a pitcher xD That control! Masuko being told not to eat. Everyone training hard to aim for the nationals in their third! It was nice to see how some of them struggled to go through the harsh training yet getting back up. Everyone training together at night with the managers supporting them ^^ Yuki's home-run hit with that cheer. Having trained harder than anyone and having done everything they can! Now I really can't wait for the match to start!!! Really enjoyed this episode too. |
 |
| I hope the game really starts next week and is not another builtup episode. I want to see a good match >-< |
| I really liked this whole flashback thing. First year Tanba was so cute! Can't wait for the next match. |
| just start the damn game!!! |
 |
| Fun episode and especially the introduction part made me laugh:D " i don't care where i play! i can play anywhere! My favorite TV show is Lone Wolf and Cub" lmao |
| Wow, that pre-game field practice was intense! And the senpais flashback is actually good. I love the introduction. |
| It was nice to know that the third-years made it this far by hard work. Now its time to show it off! Excited for next episode. |
 |
| Once again, we get sidetracked from the main story line, yet still the same good old ace of diamond. So simple yet so good. |
| GAME TIME next week!!! But im guessing it's not going to start till the latter half of the episode but at least its going to start!!! |

| Wow so much animation in the beginning! Never has training felt so intense. I take that back about average budget lol. Maybe it only felt that way because I remember that one or two episode with a lot derp faces from when it started last fall. It was nice to see the third years' experience as first years when they first arrived at Seidou. It's hard for Eijun and Furuya to believe, but the third years suffered a lot as well at first. Also, Tanba was so timid back then haha. Tetsu is still kind of the "my pace" kind of guy. Laughed so hard when they were in practice and then one of his senpai was all like, "as if you can play any position!" (or something along that line). And what Isashiki said was sooo brutal (yet the truth): "you're not the only one having a tough time." |
| OMG so I absolutely loved this episode! That rally at the beginning was so intense and just plain great. They all looked so polished and experienced. I love it. Then they proceeded to show us how they got there. What a wonderful journey it was. It really feels good when all your hardwork pays off. They have worked so hard and I'm so happy and proud. I really don't want this to end or for them to get any older!! because then the third years will be leaving :( I like them so much. Yuki's small fist pump. lol |
 |
| Flash back, we all love back stories. How do you hit a home run on your first at bat in your first game lol. |
| How do I signature? |
| Good back story, but let's start the game :( Gosh dang it! |
| Are they really going to wait till episode 52 to start the game. Really good animation during their practice |

| I think this is the best episode of Diamond no Ace so far! Hyped for the match! |
| Absolutely beautiful episode :*D Loved the intensity of their training so much! The flashback was really nice. Never did I imagine the senpais were bad enough to be called the Hopeless year :O It was so fun seeing how bad they were and how much they progressed :) And did I see Wakana in the PV >.<!! |
 |
| Yeah! Finally next episode Seidou vs Inashiro! *.* Really, this was long ride! xD |
| This episode got me so hyped for the next game! Great ep |
| Love those sempai's they're all funny.. Popcorn mode next week ohh yeahh.. |
 |
| Wow, this episode was amazing. I loved it from the beginning to the end. The depth that is put into DnA characters makes me wanna cry. Definitely one of my favorite eps ;v; The Inashiro match is finally starting next week but gahh I'm scared. |
 |
| One of my favourite episodes! I was in the role of the "third year senpai" a year ago not on a baseball team but something as similar (band) and I got these crazy feels from this. I can relate. We start out weak, but with ambition and passion to work hard and become even better. Anyway, I'm debating whether to wait until the Inashiro match is over before watching it...but I want to watch it weekly and ahhh. The struggle is real! btw Jun x Manager is cute |
| 500 swings a day? Respect, bro. Happy to see the anime will continue with the Inashiro match. It should be spectacular! Stronger opponents are always win! And I hope the sprain of the elder Kominato won't hinder his performance. If something goes wrong, I'll feel bad for him, and, additionally, it could hit the rest of the team hard. Sweet, how much Eijun and Furuya share the same aspirations as their predecessors when they were younger. Tanba was hilarious :) In the previous episode he said that the four of them (pitchers) would play as one ace and I really would like to see it, Kawakami included. |
| The third years used to be trash. OMG Flashbacks OMG. |
| I feel like a new OP next episode... Sadly :/ |

| Tetsu is a real monster. |
| The coach looks weird without that badass goatee of his. |
| Yuki, Jun, Tanba lol so funny. Jun is so extra XD. Loved the flashback and that practice was intense, I actually wanted to see more. |

| good episode |
 Watch Tokyo Ghoul Root A http://kissanime.com/G/18486?l=http%3a%2f%2fkissanime.com%2fAnime%2fTokyo-Ghoul-A |
| Another delay before the game, but I really liked this backstory episode! Gets you a bit more attached to the characters. Can't wait for the game! |
| This was a great episode, so beautiful. The field practice was intense as hell and I wanna watch it over and over again for the rest of my life. |
| So many amusing moments in this episode "Masuko stop eating!" It felt kind of weird having Jun as basically the main character in the flashback, but I suppose he has the best personality for it compared to the rest. Now back to the games!! .-. |
 |
| This was one of the better episodes - it got me to like Jun, something ghe previous 49 eps couldn't manage - but those moments with the dramatic music at the end where it tried to pull my heartstrings??? Freakin' artificial. Pissed me off. Thanks for crushing whatever good will I ever try to build towards you, Daiya. It's a gift. |
 |
| holy shit. dat intense episode. i love the third years even more now :/// i dont want them to leave :< also, Tanba as a first year was the more adorable thing. so shy... |

Maybe it only felt that way because I remember that one or two episode with a lot derp faces from when it started last fall. No reason to take it back. In the last episode they were a few scenes were it was clear budget saving. When the three from the crowed were commentating for example the other crowed was still. Animation companies in Japan had limited budgets. It ain't Disney. No matter how big they are they can't do such a long series without saving at some scenes. If they made the best they could with every scene the cost and time needed would be extraordinary, not even Disney could afford it(well they could but they would make a loss and therefore wouldn't be able to do it again and again). So they save budget in some places to animate better some other scenes etc. |
| Boy they sure are stalling this game. Hope it's worth it. |
 |
| Dam that was a nice motivating flashback story. |
| All is ready to the match, to the final!!! |
| This episode definitely made me appreciate the third years and how much work they’ve done more. |
 |
| Wow, this episode had quite an impact on me and I appreciate it how much time they spend on showing us the determination and passion of the 3rd years, inspiring stuff. Loving this show more and more. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Great back story! |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| This episode really made me like Jun as he's kinda similiar to Eijun. Amazing progress the once hopeless seniors have made with them now being able to do that intense fielding training. |
 |
| Tanba was a shy boy haha And Ryo was confident lmao Yuki was hilarious. No way Ryo couldn’t ever fit into his clothes. Everyone had an awkward moment with the coach at the bath lmao OH NO THEY DID THE THING TO THEM TOO ( eating too much for practice) Even the manager got better alongside them Watching them get better made my tear up |
 |
| Awesome learning about the early days. I had my doubt whether they could win thinking it would set up Eijun having to learn more before he got to Nationals but now after this episode I think the third years deserve the win to Nationals! |
