I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Damn..damn..damn..i'm all teary when the BGM just played the song and Kou x Akane walking together in summer festival, Best moment for me in manga and yet best in anime too yet..need more Aoba x Kou's moment to beat that |
 |
| Off the ratings.. I could give it a 9000/10 if it was possible :(( Really really great show! |
 |
| This is going to get interesting, now that everyone has seen Akane. I wonder if Aoba is going to act all cold towards her. |
 |
| I loved this episode. I think they handled perfectly the introduction of Akane to everyone else. |

| Now this is what ep. 30 should have been. Can't wait for more. |
 |
| This episode was done nicely. Now it gonna get interesting, with Akane. |
 |
| fun episode even with nothing really happening. nice job with bgm and animation at the festival |
 |
| This episode was really well done. The introduction of Akane was awesome. |
| To answer this episode's frequently asked question, yes they do grow up. Truly masterful. |
| Fantastic episode!!! I LOVE CROSS GAME!!! I'm gonna T__T when it's over. Might have to watch Touch after this one. So epic, when all the girls saw her...Epic!!! And Momiji in Wakaba's yukata was FTW!!! I feel so bad, yet kinda good for Kou. I know this must be hell on him, she looks just like Wakaba. But, maybe they'll get together, and he'll be happy. But, where does that leave Aoba? I'm still pro KouxAoba!!! Urahara Out!! |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| One of the scenes i've been waiting since i read the manga..But all those flashbacks again and again really boring me |
 |
| I couldn't stop myself but keep smile while watching this episode. Cross Game is indeed has a charm. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Yes, yes, charming, and I liked this episode too. Even despite the fact that like thalandor, I have no clue how Akane is going to fit in the story. I can only hope that it doesn't go the cliche route and she doesn't fall for Kou, therefore sparing a lot of the hardship her character stands to face. I kind of want her to like Azuma just so he gets some play in the show (even though he seems particularly uninterested in girls). |

fanti said: You forgot Mizuki and Akaishi..some minor character like that can actually turned to be a major turn point, I think, or rather hope, it turns out like in the intro. Kou x Aoba and Azuma x Akane. That'd be perfect. noteDhero said: People who are good at baseball and a girl? there will be only 2 persons in the series Aoba and the other girl who was challenging herwakka9ca said: noteDhero said: I kind of want her to like Azuma just so he gets some play in the show (even though he seems particularly uninterested in girls).

| That's makes a freaking harem for Aoba, and she just doesn't deserve it. I'd much rather think he's gay than to think he'd like either Aoba or Senda's cousin. |

| |
| I do too...even though it's absolutely fabricated on Kou's side. There really needs to be some motion on his end of things. |
| i smell a love triangle in the air~ this episode was a great one~ anyone know the title of theme song of wakaba and kou? |
 |
| >_< OY! you people thinking dirty thing! |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| nice ep ^^ Kou finally knew Akane's name ... Azuma, clover sisters, Mizuka n Akaishi saw her too ^^ *with the expression: "Do ghosts grow up, too?"* It was Kou's first time thinking of how Wakaba would've been like if she was older ... n now I know why they recapped ep1 in the previous ep ^ ^ 5/5 ep! |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| Momiji-"Don't fall in love with me just cause I look like her" Koh-"I know" Man I love Cross Game. |

 |
| what a tweeest unlisted said: This and the last episode didn't do anything for me... COOL |
| Kinda frustrated. Too much dragged out suspense for me. >_> |
| So I wonder what's going to happen with Akane in the show, particularly with Aoba. |
| So Kou loses Wakaba in fifth grade, refuses to let go of loss, never dates once through high school, and now comes the Waka-clone next door. Awkward. I get that the author wants obstacles between Kou x Aoba but honestly, a bit of subtlety doesn't hurt. On the bright side, Momi telling Kou not to fall for her was really cute :) |
| This episode was beyond amazing. I'm interested to see how Akane will fit into the story... Hope it will lead to some good development for other characters. Was Akane's family name chosen as a way of introducing irony...? Or some sort of hint...? "Takigawa" --> "Taki" is waterfall, and "gawa" is "kawa", or stream. Though whether those actual meanings are there depends on if the kanji used to write the name... |
| =( |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Wonderful. Proabaly the best moment in the manga, and one of my favourite moments of the series so far. |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |
| On an emotional level. This episode was a 100 out of 10 |
| What's the name of the BGM that played in this episode? I fell for it after listening to it for 3 times |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Honestly, I think kou X aoba is not a good match.. I just can't see how aoba is adorable besides being good at baseball..it would be perfect if kou X akane then azuma X aoba !! but i guess that's not gonna happen T_T. WAKABA/AKANE FTW !!!! |
| Such a good episode... Had that weird feeling inside when both Kou and Akane were walking together with that song playing. So sad, kept imagining it was Wakaba. xD |
 |
| OH COME ON, even her parents looks like Waka-chan's parents :P |
 |
| I almost cried in this episode too! 2 episodes in a row, even though the last one was a bit of a cheat (re-telling of episode 1). When Aoba saw Kou and Akane together, it was like saying "This is what it should have been like." So sad! An told so perfectly. I can forgive the doppelganger that Akane is for this well told episode. When Aoba was searching Kou to see if he was alone and not with "Wakaba/Akane", Kou says "Can't you even see your own sisters?" Very poignant. Also, am I the only one who is very sad that there are no OSTs for this show? The music is so good! Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |

| "Do ghosts grow up too ?" |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Ahhhh!!! Freaking onions everywhere!! Then that song made it worse... gaaaaah! |
| And here I thought the Kou x Akane ship was slowly being built would sail without any problems. ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD! And now I'm actually looking forward to it getting sunk. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| How to put every character in a complete mind fuck? Bring someone back ''alive'' x) Aoba is so confused that she have to find information on her :P It also look like that Akane will become the new center of attention of the school. It was sad when they all asked the question : ''Do ghosts grow up too?''. Such a weird and full of sense question. Well, in AnoHana they do :P |
