Ah, another practice game. But honestly, I think the team is doing well in terms of getting their experience.

Feels like Tamaki may be improving the most out of the group.

After the loss of the practice game 2 episodes back, it's more of the same: lame-ass "motivation" for encouragement to do better next time, but at least the girls are going somewhere with added experience, and with it, confidence they cohesively needed.

Another practice game, and immediately, their training camp from last episode proves fruitful from their lack of skills, that comes with immense experimentation and feedback from others, and TBH, a great comeback to form.

And a happy birthday to Yomi, I'd guess. Thanks for bringing the team this far.

With this, everyone has a calibre to match, but for achieving more, they can't stop now.

Better than average episode.

It's nice that Nozomi is having fun again without trying to get home runs.

Nice training in this episode but the suburbs are not a huge open-air crib populated by newborns...

Yoshino is a decent coach ngl.

Also curious how far they'll go, seems like they're really pulling the idea that the team is gonna be underdogs going into this. Makes sense of course.

Choo-choo, it's a victory train!

First RBIs for Nozomi, Shiragiku's homerun is almost there and Yomi finally let her doubts go through tears of joy.

It feels like the whole magic of sports is missing, also i don't like that it feels like we are skipping some crucial scenes. For example, right after training camp we are at school already with a match. What kind of match it is? (was it ever mentioned?), or like what kind of place did they go to for a training camp, was it at school? doubt it, then why is the place looks so similar. Where are the important bonding scenes that could happen during the bus (best bonding scenes occur during travelling). Things like that make me feel empty... empty in a way that i don't get everything i could from the anime.
Just realized this, but except for Yomi, Yoshino, Tama and Nozomi everyone else is kinda useless in the anime, what is this captain even doing lol. And after such a promising start in ep 3, Shiragaku is just afk...

About time they brought up Yomi knowing only 2 pitches, time to learn something else ( not for 3 years, hopefully)

Favorite part of the episode was probably how Nozomi gotten a hang of her confidence with everyone believing in her and Yoshino especially and then she even warmed up to high fiving other girls. She is probably my favorite girl and seeing her warm up to others makes me feel the best. Also Yomi getting all emotional at the end, happy birthday hard working girl >_<

the animation is getting better I guess

but i dont like this one-sided episode where no hilite to the opponents at all, they never talk. Maybe I watch too much ace of diamond to make me care about rival lol

Overall a positive episode. Get their first win after many losses in team practice. Yoshino really a good at planning.. Nozomi got her confidence back. Everyone else is learning at a good pace as well.

Happy b-day Yomi. ^^

looking forward to next week.

Not bad, they eventually win their first game

Ironically, the only 2 sports shows I watch are this one & Ahiru no Sora. The second name usually has matches which last around 4 entire episodes while Tamayomi almost shows up a "whole" match in a single episode (more like in 12 minutes). It... denies the epicness potentiality or prevents an emotional involvement.

Good episode, glad to see them winning and Yomi improving more.
I felt the match a bit rushed, but i think it was enough to show the progress. And idk but i liked the karaoke scene, just showing high schoolers having a good time it's truly heartwarming.
I'm kinda shocked we're already in the middle, wondering where all of this will go.

I'm really digging the OP and ED.

Yay, first win, by hook or by crook, team is still advancing and learning new skills, felt the art was a bit better this episode.

Is it me or is the character design drawn horrible? No proper proportion. Many times the mouths are too high. The QC is lacking greatly. The eyes. Like lopsided boobs. Hard to miss and just an eyesore overall.

I really love the end song vocals. They did a great job. Well the VAs are great throughout this series so far. I have to get them points for that.

So how did I miss the yuri couple? Who are they? It’s not very obvious.

The girls finally won for the first time. Plus its Yomi's birthday. I like how they had a party for both winning the game and celebrating her birthday.

Good episode. The girls are getting better and animation is better than last episode.

They improved quite a bit, winning their first practice match as team after the loss of the one few episodes ago. Must be a nice birthday gift for Yomi.
