Synopsis

With a stray pitch that completely missed the batter, Eijun Sawamura loses his final middle school baseball game. Frustrated by this defeat, Eijun and his teammates vow to reach the national tournament once they are in high school. But everything changes when a scout unexpectedly invites him to Tokyo's prestigious Seidou High School after seeing the potential in his unusual pitching style. Encouraged by his teammates, Eijun accepts the offer, ready to improve his skills and play at a much more competitive level of baseball.

However, now surrounded by a large number of skilled players, Eijun struggles to find his place on the team. He declares that he will one day become the team's ace, but that's only if fellow first year Satoru Furuya doesn't take the title first, with his breakneck fastballs that earn him a coveted spot on the starting roster. With the addition of these talented new players to an already powerful lineup, the Seidou baseball team aims to become the best in Japan, facing off against a number of formidable foes that stand in their way.

No need for superpowers, Baseball is already epic enough.

Ace No Diamond achieved the subtle performance of remaining technical and grounded without losing the viewers attention. We don't feel like we are being treated like idiots and rather enjoy becoming Baseball experts throughout the show. One of DNA's strengh is they keep the story very realistic. Which makes it very difficult to predict whether the MC will deliver or not. He eventually will (I presume), it is a sport shonen after all. But the storytelling is efficient to a point of rendering his progress unpredictable.

Since I mentionned the MC, let's have a closer look at ...

Mixed Feelings
This show has a very strong and engaging start. The introduction to the characters are nicely done, the premise is interesting. I like that it wasn't going to be an "underdog" story. I feel like the first 20ish episodes is where the anime truly shines after that it kind of goes downhill for me. The show was really good at setting up a goal for Sawamura and the team. Watching how they achive that goal was exciting and mostly rewarding. My favourite part was the Chris storyline and how Sawamura learns from his mistake and grows as a character.
On the other hand I think ...

Diamond no Ace is an anime from 2013-2015 based on a Terajima Yuki manga. The anime was handled by Production IG and Madhouse. I'm not expecting much since it's a sport anime but it was a request so, let's get into it.

Story:

We open with our main protagonist, Sawamura Eijun, being recruited by Seidou, a school with a proud tradition of throwing balls and hitting them with sticks. He sets his sight on becoming the lead pitcher and getting the coveted "Ace number." From there, the anime follows Seidou's performance in a big tournament and the aftermath.

Let's start with the main problem that really makes ...
