| Better than most of the shows this season, 8/10 |
| Pretty nice alternative to Durarara. I want to see more of Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens. |

| Every member of main characters working together to fight against the enemy. KajiKaji's character had to finish what he didn't finish... |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Hell, it was way better than I expected. Gimmie a second season, I'm feeling empty now. |

| All in all a pretty fun watch, the character interactions between Lin and Banba made the series great lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I actually found Fei much more interesting than Lin and also having more potential, so I'm not as willing as some to overlook how Lin on a broken ankle and in women's shoes managed to kill in a close combat a guy who's clearly heavier and more muscular than him, specializes in hand-to-hand and was stated to be better at it than Lin just moments ago. It's just looking very much like an asspull, along with the power of friendship (gee, are we shounen now?). And also - no, you won't convince me that none of the pro criminals bothered to check Banba's ears for the very obvious wiretap while Banba was out cold and they treated him. It all looks very much like plot contrivance, too obvious in fact, which, along with the wasted potential, forces me to rate this final arc as the worst of the series and downgrade my final score from 8/10 to 7/10 (it started out as 9/10 for me, but alas) |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| This show was an absolute joy ride from start to finish and even when the plot was shaky it made up for it with jazzy charm and fun, and great character chemistry. I'm so glad I picked this one up 8/10 |
 |
| This ended up being way better than I originally thought it would be and I was pretty impressed by the dialogue/English dub of this. Gotta say, might just be the first baseball anime I ever watched too. |
 "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment" |
| Very good episode, a nice end to Lin's past and friend. It was nice to see the whole gang together to save Lin and Banba. 7/10 |
 |
| These series really tricked me, i thought it was about culinary at first, then it shows wonderful assasins/hitman story with good case, then at last i realize the title of this series is depicting their baseball team, and at the top of that they played the baseball match against another group of hitmen ( banba's ex, glasses guy, and submarine ninja). for final episode i think it's already good, it just seems the battle between Lin and Fei too short, but i think it's ok, since the "rescue plan" things cover it up greatly (and the return of legendary grandpa lol XD), and lead the episode to the end where all of the gang rejoice. Finally, it ended with another baseball match as usual :D. looking from the source(LN or Manga i think), this series still seems far from ending, so i'll be certainly waiting for the sequel its 8/10 for me |

| What a great show, I can't believe how slept on it was. The only thing missing at the end was a Banba/Lin kiss..I hope they make more, I feel like in years to come this show will be recommended alongside Black Lagoon and Baccano for fast, fun and stylish action anime. |
| Not much actual quality, and art was bad. |
 |
| It was a decent show. The borderline yaoi/trap element didn't bother me that much after realising the author is a gurl LOL. The characters were nicely fleshed out for the most part. But I wanted to know more about Banba's history as a niwaka samurai and why he quit. The story was also interesting with the hitmen theme. It also seem the like the author is a fan of baseball and ramen. |
| Pretty solid closure to this series if you ask me, it was quite an intense ride and with some interesting cases and characters it sure made up for a decently amusing anime! All in all a pretty good watch. |
 |
| Underrated! The show was bordering 9 before the final moment where everyone was waiting for Lin to return to the group, and that moment pushed it over. Great soundtrack throughout the series. What I like the most about the series is that even though they're killers, they have humane part to them. I was expecting the buffed bald torturer guy to be some kind of stereotypical sick pervert who couldn't control his urge to torment people, but he has self control and is willing to help his friends. The nakama-ship in this story is truly remarkable, be it the tonkotsu ramen gang or Sarucchi and his high school friend manager. I am glad Lin didn't dwell on having trust issue for far too long, and got it resolved without much hassle. A chunk of the series feel kinda comical if you apply real life common sense to it, but when you use their own world's rule, and are aware of the fact that it's just an anime meant for entertainment, it becomes really fun to watch. It does help when the show doesn't even try to sync real life with the fictional world, which a lot of other series failed to realize. Hopefully it sold well enough to warrant another cour to adapt the remaining 4 volumes. I want more Enokida. |

| Great anime, sad that Fei could not join the gang |
 |
| way better than I expected it to be. I'll give it a 8/10 because 6 is what I consider "Average" and I drop average things and I found this to be a quite a bit better than the stuff I'd consider a 7. a lot of fun and good characters |
 |
| Thoroughly entertaining series. |
| Rely on nothing under heaven |
| 7/10 I feel like the first half was much better than the second half. After Lin found his sister and got revenge on the mayor's son, the episodes that came after were action-packed but story-wise they weren't as engaging, even with Lin's childhood assassin friend coming into the picture. He reminded me of a more mature Akabane Karma for some reason. |
| 臭い- |
| The anime fell off after the first half but it was still a good watch. Gave me vibes of Durarara and Gangsta 7/10 |

| Fei : hello nice to see you again Also Fei : Okay see you next time in the future |
| Commenting on this again after a few years because this show was really underrated... saw this back in 2018 and went for a spin again. We need more anime like this... |
 |
| I can't believe that I haven't discovered this show sooner. I might be late to the party, but it's better late than never, I guess? Blame my radar for not spotting this criminally underrated anime before. Anyways, I loved how everything wrapped up perfectly in the end. Lin finally got a group of people who cared about him after all the trauma and hurdles he had faced in the past. Slowly but surely, I'm sure he's learning how to trust again. Aghh, I'm so happy for him. He deserves it. <33 And Banba, man, he's so fine. I love him so much. (Yep. that's it. That's the additional yet unnecessary comment.) On a serious note, this was a worthwhile and entertaining watch. I will miss these characters so, so much. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens is a 9/10 in my book. <33 |

| strated this series accidently, never expected it to me such delightful for me! Especcialy enjoyed all accent phrases ! |
 |
| I decided to watch this show based on the title alone, assuming it would be a show about food. It didn't quite meet my expectation. But I found it pretty entertaining nonetheless. |
