Ahaha, yay, they made it! I was pretty sure they would, but it was still really amazing. The team working together really was great.

After the match, Tatsuya's falling from extreme fatigue is far from being realistic. They had been training like crazy all the time and they still had enough strength for fleeing out to eat in Minami's place at nights. Now, Tatsuya falling from tiredness of one match does not make sense.

Strike. Batter Out. Game set. Woohoo Meisei :P My best guess of what Minami wants is a kiss or something.

What a match that was! Honestly, it's probably a personal favourite of mine in terms of any baseball match in my time as an anime watcher. It was intense, it was filled with dramas and a very satisfying end to boost. I'm glad the Coach has finally decided to take the eyes surgery, all the best for him! Classy act by Tacchan and Minami to visit him.

Touch has been a really good ride, and all good things must come to an end sooner or later. It's only a matter of time.

One more episode to end this off.

Not exactly, he only had 1 day of rest from his complete game no hitter. Not even pro starting pitchers go and throw another complete game again like that on 1 day rest. Let alone go 10 innings.

I admit I cheered on that strikeout...good grief Tatsuya.

Great episode, so much like the final game of Cross Game which makes sense.
Anyways, sadly no good romantic progress ={

Oh damn it, it's simply epic. When your teams support you to the fullest, that's when you should give your best shot.
That pitching at the end still gives me goosebumps.
Feel bad for Nitta, but I like his character along this series. And wtf with that nightmare.

Poor coach, but he is the second best man in this final match :D

Damn, that baseball match has to be one of my top five anime "battles" I've ever seen. That was a roller coaster of emotion!

I can't help but feel like the last episode is going to be a let down after this fantastic climax. But this anime loves to prove me wrong, so we'll see!

I can't belive that Touch was able to make me feel something positive in the end. After pretty much every single match so far was pretty lackluster, this final one really had something special to it, the payoff was good. It still doesn't make the anime good, but it was a good conclusion to this dream; I guess I'm weak to baseball, there are so many emotions.

The team just forgave the demon though, as if what he did was right or something, and it would be good if the story made him pay for it with his vision, but now I'm not even mad anymore either, he's a really pitiful guy; the abuse was there to be "cool", and "edgy", it was never going to be taken seriously in this kind of story. Let's hope that he will finally be able to find peace with that "apple". He still had to pay for what he did though, but welp, there's only the last episode left now.

You know something is great when you celebrate with the characters. Fantastic match is fantastic.

Now I'm looking forward to the romantic conclusion in the final episode.

MEISEI!!!! those madlads really did it especially Tatsuya managed to defeat Nitta in that last pitch. All the matches so far felt like some background thing going on but this last match was truly the best glad that they didn't made it lackluster.

GANBARU GANBARU MEE-III-SEI!

As soon as the fielders started moving back I thought they were going to pull a Rocky on us, but I was glad to be proved wrong.

What a great ending, and it looks like we get an epilogue too. Too many modern anime just... end.

The scene where Tatsuya had that nightmare and had to check the papers was very well done. I sympathise with him too, I've had similar nightmares after exam season!

Time for the penultimate episode.

THEY DID IT.
They f***ing did it! I haven't been so stressed out for a real match in a long time so it was amazing to feel that for a fictional game with pre-determined outcome written in the 80's for a sport I'm barely familiar with.

Now let's see how they do the epilogue.
