It was an alright episode, felt a bit slow though. I mean, Mei is so chill despite facing off against his opponents in a few days.

Mostly a built-up episode as we see some of Mei's pitches. Well at any rate, the match should be one to be remember if done right. Mei described his adversaries pretty well.

Getting ready for their game with Inashiro.
Wonder if we would see another fireball crossfire again!
It was nice to seem them showing their appreciation to the managers ^^
Inashiro being thoroughly prepared even against the pitching relay!
Mei having missed an important pitch last year which made the team lose which changed him!
The other pitcher's in Inashiro may just be as big of a threat!
Whoever pitches on the mound is the ace atm? That seems a pretty nice way to put it!
Looking forward to the game!!! Sawamura pitching all his best pitches.

It really was a slow episode but in a sense this kind of episode is a nice "stop" before the intense game to come...

And Tadano Itsuki makes his appearance! He's the only one that I like from Inashiro, except for maybe Harada-san. Although I admit that I thought his voice would be...rougher? He gives this impression from the manga.

It's really nice to see Tanba opening up a bit since he's not that much talkative. His discussion made wonders to the other pitchers but especially Sawamura -- it's very clear as how serious he's pondering about batters and what kind of pitch would strick them out. He's getting clever lol.

From the preview, metabolic-senpai next episode! :D

I thought this episode went by quickly actually. I was immersed more than I thought I would be and they weren't even playing a game. Well nice set up episode. Now I'm truly looking forward to their next game and I just want to know who wins already! >.< ! Super excited for that. Learning more about Mei was -_- I don't really care for him, and I don't know why. But I guess that's one aspect I do like about DnA is that each character gets some spotlight.

Well this ep showed us Ryo-san is probably going to be cut from the team when they go to nationals. I wondered how he injured his foot. Over training or was it during a game?

Lol did Eijun say kuroko fighter the second time he messed up trying to say crossfire? As always, Eijun's knowledge of baseball is behind his passion for it XD

Got to see Mei's past, and I can definitely see how his really bad mistake in the nationals traumatized him, especially also because he has that cocky personality. Mei's kind of annoying sometimes, but he's still serious. Though it would still be good if he learned to pay attention to the other players too besides the ones he's personally interested in.

Next episode, loud dude (Azuma??) visits! Never was fond of that voice...

Ryo ;v;
Crap. If he gets cut for Inashiro it'd be bad.

Maybe (hopefully) Harucchi will take his spot ...

Damn thats bad news for Ryo. How'd he get injured?
Guy from episode one is coming back, so the game isn't starting for another episode I guess.

I wonder when the game will start. It seems like it takes at least 2 episodes.

I actually really liked this episode.

Calm before the storm.

I hope the game at least starts at the end of the next episode though.

I wanted Seidou win with Inashiro,
because I thought he is invincible
but now when they revealed Mei's error which caused his team loss...
I feel so conflicted right now...

I'm really looking forward to their match *.*

Sad for Ryo :( Hope his injury doesn't affect the match. Harucchi will play more instead of him?

Nice history lesson, thank goodness for the guy in the brown beret to properly deliver the plot.
Next episode will hopefully be the start of the finale.

Ryou's foreshadowing is killing me on the inside.

Slow episode. I'm looking forward to seeing Seido's pitchers, especially Sawamura, against Inashiro's batters.

Dam Mei was cocky last summer costing his senior theyre chance at Nationals...
What Tanba said at the end was so awesome as the ace. I remember how scared he was about losing his ace number to Furuya. The preview with the nostalgic face creeped me out.

Both teams are doing serious preparations.

Sadly I don’t see Seidou beating Inashiro. The eventual loss will be heartbreaking.

Yeah, Seidou doesn't have one Ace, but a few more, that will probably be one key to their victory.

Calm before the storm episode with everyone practicing hard for the upcoming match. Cool to hear Tanba say that all four of them will be the ace during their time on the mound.

Awww, I love the moment the third years had with the managers.

I knew it!! He’s injured!! Ryo!!

Why is the other coach so cool

Woah the Inashiro team is preparing for anything. They’re packed with great players too.

how does this journalist knows everything like dude knows every single detail

I think my favourite quote from this anime is when people tell Furuya to put away his aura 🤣
