| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Don't even know what happened but the episode was very sad, I'm kinda expecting the worst. |
| The whole "Kazuya got into an accident" scenario was the farthest thing from my mind when I stared on this episode. Oh man, now I have to watch the next one. Screw eating or showering, I have to know what happened D: |
| I kinda knew something like this wuold happen. Especialyl when yuo look at the character list, Kazuya isn't even listed a main character and the fact that the OP changes from episode 27 tells it all... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

Well, he was originally listed as a main character. But, some one had to go and change it which, as in your case, leads to an indirect spoiler. |

| All I gotta say is, HOLY CRAP I did not see that coming. |
 |
| How unsettling and it can only lead to one outcome. Shit. |
| I think he probably got hit by a car. That's why it was focusing on cars on his way to the stadium. I like how it has left it as a mystery so far to provoke thought. If he was hit by a car, I'm surprised that his brother doesn't seem very sad. |
 |
| What a horribly tense episode. I had a knot in my stomach the whole time. |
| AH FRAK!!! They did do it....damn it I should have known after Cross Game being from the same person. |
 |
| Such a sad episode, I like how it was portrayed though. |
 |
| It's Cross Game all over again xD |
| Well can't really think of any results that wouldn't hurt both brothers... I guess Tatsuya would take the field again. |
| I know that, really. It's been implied really hard for an entire episode, creepy and eerie vibes. So many trucks passing around. Damn it man, really. |
 |
| All the symbolisms were all. All the hints were there. Everything was mentioned....who knew what was really happening. Oh God!!! Why? |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Even though I ended up spoiling myself even before starting the show, this was still one of the best episodes I've watched of any anime. I especially liked how the episode used silence and ambient noises to build an eerie atmosphere. I really like when a show cuts out the music (and dialogues), and lets the visuals and noises do all the talking. And yeah, all the hints were there, right from the beginning of the show. |
| Judging by Tatsuya reactions, his brother is either dead, in comma or incapacitated to play baseball ever again, I hope is one of the latter ones. By the way it was set seem to be a car accident. hearing the siren, the red traffic light and the cars. Seems like Mitsuru Adachi likes love tragedies too. |
| Okay, this was one of the best episodes so far, if not the best. I mean, Tacchan was being insufferable at first, hitting Koutarou for no good reason, but the direction, and the atmosphere it evoked were superb! When Kacchan said he was off, and walked disappearing into the light, that was already a bit unsettling, I couldn't imagine a single not stupid reason for him to not go to the game, so I knew something was up with that long walk Tacchan took to get to school. But, omg, I was 90% done with this anime after that previous episode, but now? I wonder what happened, has Kacchan died? I'm a bit afraid to watch the next one, but to be honest I'm also surprised, and I want to know. |
 |
| Watching this episode made me feel sick to my stomach and it was like someone clenched my heart.... |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| fuckkkk toooo fucking soooon. and here I thought it would happen a bit later on |
| Had this moment spoiled for me 10 years ago, been waiting for it to happen since I started watching. |
| If he's really dead, then I'm really surprised to see how my boy Tatsuya can hold all of his emotions like that |
 |
| WAIT Kazuya got into an accident, really unexpected...but from the tone of this episode and Tatsuya and the doctor's reaction...It can't be right...he ain't dead right..that's just sad after all the love drama when they finally decided to face it off...after almost reaching Koushien... |
 |
| BRUH WTF Seriously WTF After last episode out of all things I expected this wasn't one of them. I'm surprised that I somehow managed to avoid the spoilers... Well, it is an underrated old anime so I suppose that's one way how. But now I gotta watch the next 2 episodes ASAP to actually know what happened. OOF |
| So perfectly tense, the directing in this episode was top notch! |
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!" |
Teirayo said: Yeah, they maintained the creepy atmosphere throughout the entire episode.So perfectly tense, the directing in this episode was top notch! |
| Well, it's kinda very obvious what happened to Kazuya at this point with the whole atmosphere and the symbolism of the cars, red lights, pigeons and an exit door. Finally, the plot is starting to move and Tatsuya also starts to change. |

| Damn, Kazuya can't catch a break . I wasn't expecting that. Feel's bad for him. Dedicate himself to be the best even though he wasn't specially talented. Get rejected indirectly by the woman he loves. And now maybe death. And couldn't achieve his dream. I feel some Major vibe... baseball..accident...death? Seems weird now... |
