Everyone is trying to get on with their lives and duties, but I'm glad that Tatsuya will be playing baseball eventually.

I feel bad for the team...it must have sucked to have your best player dies and you lose the final in the same day.. The aftermath was directed perfectly, Koutarou's reaction was really sad. Hopefully Tatsuya can step up to the plate to cover the hole that Kacchan left out.

Still over 60 episodes to come to terms with things and develop the romance.
Going to be a long haul.

Episode 28- What's a baseball team without an ace...

The new OP damm I don't like it but I miss Kazuya... 10 km in the morning and 50 sit-ups and 50 push-ups and the in the evening the same as the morning, that's a lot to do everyday. Well after 1 day he surrender, habits die hard and Minami really think Tacchan is hopeless "...His only hobby is to let down people's expectation of him. " how rude of her, but she must saying that because she don't want Tatsuya to be hurt by playing baseball the sport of his brother. Kotarou is really sad, is good that Tacchan is around to make things fun. I like how Tatsuya is now wanted for both baseball and boxing club. Tatsuya can't be Kazuya but he can be a new for of himself and so he redid the board to 5km in the morning 30 sit-ups and 30 push-ups, evening the same as morning. He got conviction I hope he keep doing it.

Summer vacation is over, and Tacchan is being insufferable again, he tried to follow Kacchan's training regime from the start, what was really foolish, but he was quick to give up and to let Minami down as she rightfully said that it was his hobby, he is so used to not trying, that it won't be easy to change, and this is better, it would be too cheap if he became hard-working suddenly. At least he started to try again at his own pace in the end, but there was no need for him to hit Koutarou or to call him a pig; but he was being "good", and trying to "cheer him up", right? It was sooo "nice".

He also said that he can't be a replacement for Kacchan, as Minami said too, but now the baseball team is pretty much dead, and all of sudden they want Tacchan to play. It's true that Sachiko tried to scout him before, but they only want him now because Kacchan is gone, and this is bad. Oh, and he pranked them by wearing a uniform, and pretending to be Kacchan, as if it was funny, it was really wrong. This wasn't really a good start to Part II, but let's see where this will go.

Oh, and I liked the new OP, we already knew the song, and it isn't as good as the first one, but it's still good. And the ED is just as good as the first, I loved it.

New opening is quite nice.

And yeah, Tatsuya is the needed man now. Looking forward to his change, even tho it will probably take a while, but that's fine by me, good things take time.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

The death of Kazuya is still felt by the people he interacted with, gonna take some time to get used to it.
Obviously Tatsuya can't be a replacement of Kazuya and do exactly the same things, he is his own person after all and needs to do things his own way.

Part II - Begins

Gonna miss the old OP and ED. It'll take time to get used to the new ones. I don't really like the effect of the new OP.

Minami said some rude things about Tacchan albeit it's kind of deserved. She always nagged how Tatsuya must stop being lazy and actually do something but he always resisted. Now that Kacchan is finally dead he has to do something to live up to his legacy otherwise he really would look like a dick.

Tatsuya pulled some cruel prank by wearing a baseball uniform. But it looks like he can't easily switch clubs either, sadly. I'm surprised that he's even going to participate in a boxing match now. This anime really doesn't want to keep any loose ends, does it? Looking forward to it.


Is it just me or Tatsuya starting to look more and more like Kazuya lately?

The new OP song is fine but the effects eeeuuurgggh it's so unsatisfying and hard to watch

The ED is way better, at least it's less cringey with 2 people running lmao but the song is pretty good now too!
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

Kazuya was the only human among these demons.

I would prefer Tatsuya staying at boxing and this turning into Hajime No Ippo.
