Pretty sure ANN just defaults to certain numbers when there isn't a known length. I wouldn't trust it unless you know their source.

If it was 13 I would rage mostly because scanlations are very slow for the manga.

I'm not following the manga, but from what I've seen, Higuchi-san hasn't written past the Bijou match, right?

So unless she writes the show, they'll either have to stop or make something up...

I know from people talking about future matches that she has indeed written more beyond Bijou. Enough so that if they wanted to stretch out the Bijou match as much as Tousei's, there would still be plenty of slice-of-life left to fill out twenty-six episodes. So if the Summer Tournament series is indeed announced to stop airing after just this season, it will simply be because A-1 thought they'd do better that way.
A-1 is single-handedly running the Anime no Chikara thing, so it may just be that they've taken too much on their plate, and/or specifically made more Oofuri now to ensure they won't bottom out if Anime no Chikara doesn't go as well as expected.

13 episodes is kinda sad, but I will wait patiently for another season to come as long as there will be one!

I'm sad :'(
Manga is currently scanlated up to ch 24. (the anime already took over with this weeks ep.). And theres some 60 or 80 chapters out raw (they are pretty hard to track down though). So there's plenty of material as far as I know.

Agreed with scanlations being way too sloooow. 1-2 month /50-60pages.

Only 13 episodes that sucks...I was at least hoping for 25 like the 1st season. Oh well I guess I can't complain because we got a second season of ookiku.

*sniff sniff* Only 13... And here I was hoping so much for at least 25 episodes.

But just like @Tayloroids, I don't care how much time it takes, I really hope for another season.

P.S. Is there any other fan of Tajima? :D

What ever happened to 26 episode seasons?!

It will be 13 episodes indeed. Kinda sad though. We can just hope that some company licenses the second season, otherwise there wont be an S3. Ookiku, though is pretty popular in Japan. But not as popular as Major (yet to see myself) or Cross Game (which already ended, both Manga and the Anime).

Clicking spoilers ruins shows. You have been warned.



Remember that Mihashi and the gang are in their first Koushien and we already have this much excitement. There are still 5 Koushiens left in their High School days after this (excluding the practice matches and the preliminaries of course!).

Point of important note. With spring and summer Koushiens they might have 4 left(they missed the spring one before the one they are in now). However, they are sophomores now. In Japan they have 3 year high schools.

Thanks for the correction :)

I always thought the end of summer changes their high school status, so I thought they are still freshers since the second year's semester 1 starts after the end of summer. Well anyways, thanks for the information on that too.

No problem. For those who don't know or don't really care:
9th grade is in Junior High( 0 years or freshman if you like)
1st years = Sophomores(once they enter high school)
2nd years = Juniors
3rd years = Seniors

From the figures I've seen in terms of manga and DVD sales, Oofuri is far above those two titles (approximately 2 to 3 times more). Don't know about the TV ratings though but I suspect Oofuri's faring pretty well too. So I think we can say that Oofuri is more popular in Japan than the 2 titles you cited. Personally, I love Cross Game too, but baseball is only one third of the title, with romance and slice-of-life being the other two genres involved.

I'm not that surprised it's only 13. I dunno why but when waiting for this long and it was still questionable how long it would be, it just seemed to be siding with the 13.

Hopefully we'll get more seasons in the future.

So that's it ?! 13 episodes.
WTF !!!!!!!

Really I would have been well to wait another few years instead of getting all excited to only have 13 episodes.
Really the same thing all over again : using anime to enhance manga sellings.

Anyways, it's better that way instead of having some crappy adaptation...

Ahh, I really hoped they'd pull through- I'm guessing with it being 13 eps, they aren't going to. I didn't particularly like the tactics the other team used throughout the game to be honest, but you gotta do what's necessary to win I guess :|

Still, here's hoping for a third season.

And Major is on it's 6th(???) season. It's nowhere near as good as Oofuri... Need more good baseball anime (or just more Oofuri seasons).
