pretty run of the mill-sports anime, but enjoyable. didnt like the "girl in the team"-thing, is that even allowed in reality? other than that, well, this looks like a "you get what you want"-anime, no surprises, simply some good team work and friendship, coated in baseball. will keep watching.
I had some laughs, so I can forgive any shortcomings.
Will happily watch ep2

continues to be great, however, that scouter women is too hot, it´s honestly distracting, lol.

Beating Azuma was a bit anti-climatic.
But I guess he served his purpose and they didn't need him for more than that.

lets see how the first match will look like, so far its a few leagues below Oofuri
surprisingly fun match between the beginners and more experienced players. Looking forward to a training arc, now that we´ve witnessed Sawamura´s limit.
I actually grew to enjoy his goofy, loud-mouth nature. Just hate it when it´s combined with underestimating the opponent. But that didnt happen here, so it´s good.

huh, this thread got buried deeply.
still enjoying this anime a lot. but why the hell do the rookies have such a problem eating their meal? makes no sense to me. doing sports all day => lots of hunger afterwards. At least that´s me. :>

I guess you never really had sports in your life... you can't even begin to understand.Originally Posted by MFauli
When you're really serious about it, you need so much energy that your body can't even afford digestive functions and you get sick if you eat anything. When you're there, that just shows you need to train your stamina even more.
If you don't know that, all you did was have fun. Not sports...

well, thx for the passive-aggressive insult. I do know that right after doing an extensive sports session, youre not necessarily feeling hungry. But some time has gone by when they´re sitting in front of their meal. Seemed odd to me.

edit:meh
I don't really enjoy watching this, I dropped it right after they went up to the first string... its too "over the top" for me + pseudo drama

I absolutely love this, look forward to it every week more so than anything else!
Except for HnI: Rising, I agree. Though it is over the top and the story is nothing new, this series is just simple fun (especially if you started out with a batch of 16 eps). I am on a quest to watch the best possible anime that could be created so I was gonna call quits after the 3rd ep. Glad I didn't.
Now... we can click as warriors... button to button, it is the basis of all internet.
Only a fool trusts his life to a virus.
Feels weird. Everybody was praising Sawamura´s slide step or whatever, but wasnt it just pure luck/coincidence that the ball landed in his glove? If I were the coach, I definitely wouldn´t consider him the ace of the team, since he´s far too reliant on spontaneous occuring circumstances.
Sure, from an anime-watcher´s point of view that makes it more interesting to observe, but an ace simply needs more continuity, more stability in his play. When every single throw turns into a gamble, something´s wrong.

The coach thinks those guys are incredibly talented noob pitchers. Since they are noobs, he needs them to get real game experience.
That match exactly is that. It's even better that they are exhausted from the camp. The coach can see for himself how they behave at their limits in a top-tier game.
Remember that their team lacks a monster pitcher. Tanba is top-tier, but he can last a season alone and isn't in the monster class.
Seidou is extremely lucky to get two probable monster pitchers. But they need to have them grow fast, Sawamura being the MC, he's the one that should outgrow everyone, with Furuya being a catalyst, Miyuki and Chris giving guidance.

It seems like every episode ends in a cliffhanger
What I dont understand is what´s in it for these girls. Oh, so youre "managers", okay. So what? All you´re doing is cleaning up stuff and handing out drinks and food to the boys. Submissive much?

They want to support their team in any way they can. By doing so, they become a factor for their success, and can take some credit for that. They also go with them to the Koshien if they win.
Peace.
man, i wonder if every game from now on will take as many episodes as the one against the last team. I could see this getting boring rather sooner than later. But since Seido´s next opponent only seems to have one special guy, maybe one or two episodes are enough to portray the outcome of the match.

episode 45 is out

kinda pisses me off that theyre wasting so much time on this match. As if Inashiro would lose here.
