My thoughts exactly, getting slightly impatient.....might end up continuing where I left off from the manga.

The subbers are doing a decent job I guess......I wish DB would do it faster but as CA as the currently main sub group I think. Well then again it is EXAM TIME for most ppl btw the months of May to July....so do expect delays but CA has a different story I think. The leader, Heibi, is a much more older fan of anime and I think he pretty much does all the work for his fansub release whilst paying a translator to give a script of the release. Honestly, I really have no idea what to say to that but I guess he takes his passion in anime seriously and wishes to share it.....admirable. =) I know a friend on MAL who kinda wants to help this Heibi dude out by being his translator but the dude is kinda worried that the Heibi fella would probably say get lost.....LOL....anyways.

I watched ep4 RAW....needs more Momokan Time. =P I want to know whats her story. ;)

Our limiting factor is our translator. He is traveling on weekends and can't begin translating the episodes before Monday at the earliest. Since we pay our translators it's kind of like a contract so I can't just give another translator the job. Though I'd keep another translator in mind if we lose Toshiaki in the future. I never tell a translator to get lost, especially if they're good. :)
Episode will be up a little bit.

I borderline loved this episode. Why? Because I'm seeing a really serious conflict develop amongst the team, even when they're winning. This is the kind of way that drama should be accomplished in sports shows. There's always room for improvement, and especially when you're dealing with a team, you're dealing with a collection of egos. Just because Ren has little self-worth doesn't mean that it isn't the same for others.

And that goes for both teams. I can't really express how engaged I was seeing how everyone reacted to Daichi getting walked. Very fascinating episode.

Everything was great in this episode with special mention to direction (simply excellent) and writing. Character development, drama and even some slight comedy scenes were mixed in absolutely perfectly too. Can't get better than that as a sports anime, it's almost as good as Touch.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Hanai's mental handicap was formed in the beginning of the series and it's continued to worsen from that point. I'm glad we're finally seeing this development come to a head here. Hope Hanai can begin to overcome in the next episode. The preview got me excited. Some incredible defense there!

Things are getting serious now. I expected that Hanai and Tajima would have a confrontation sooner or later, but I thought it would be Hanai to start it not Tajima. Next episode looks so dramatic, can't wait for it!

Yeah. Hope Tajima rips into him next ep.

I love Momokan's sentient pigtails.

Oh and this made me laugh really hard.

I loved this episode! This anime has a way of putting so much realness into each of the characters. I can't wait for Tajima and Hanai's confrontation!

Words can't express how much I love Hanai...I now have to face the difficult task of kicking someone out of my fave character list to fit him in T__T

Hanai needs to pick up his game

"I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life,
Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

Yup,i also don't want him standing in Tajima's shadow.Although he can never be neither as good as him,nor as funny as him,lol.But he's a cool character so i want him to perform great too.
I WANT A SHUT OUT!

Poor Hanai. He hasn't really performed too well in any of their games so far, but Tajima started off weak against Tousei too, so I hope Hanai gets his stuff together in time.

Crying Daichiii <3 He is just... d'awwwh. Abe looks down on him though >: I think this is the first baseball anime I've seen that's made me understand exactly what the catcher's job entails and how hard it is.

Heh poor Mihashi, just standing there as he popped the ball up for the catcher :p.

Also liked the fake sign Takaya made while he was at bat to confuse the pitcher.

Haha, I can't stop laughing when Daichi cried. His eyes are like a scrambled egg. His reactions are always funny. And poor Hanai.. well, Tajima is Tajima.

Btw, rewatching this series for the 2nd time and it is still good!!!

The pace is a bit too fast in this season, sometimes I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on. And they started talking fast. o.o

They are on the same team, Hanai shouldn't have gotten into a pissing contest with Tajima in the first place, now he has a complex. :/

Hanai shouldn't compare himself with Tajima, that's just putting more pressure on himself.
