I like Akiko too much more after every episode. One of favorite characters now.

Hmm... too hard to understand everything without subs, lol. Seems like those two boys from the previous episode are back to discourage Koume and Akiko some more. Anyways, the last scene where they all crossed the line was pretty cool.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

One of the thread starting posts ever.


I loved the embrace with Kyouko, she's so funny. Glad to see the wheels spinning once more though.
Poor Noriko being forgotten, hopefully she isn't going to be permanently replaced by somebody new next week, and comes back after seeing everyone have fun or something. More members is always a good thing right?

Pretty good episode, I must say i didn't expect development like this at this point of the series. It has been quite well done though, and it seems like the characters and their goals will keep building and growing.

i don't see how it's forgettable, it was developing the main issue of the series -_-

I really liked this episode, probably my favorite so far. Koume was uber-awesome in it, standing up to the boys, encouraging Akiko and prompting Tomoe. I'm amused by Shizuka for some reason and seeing her struggle in Koume's Iron Grip was funny to me.

I suppose if you were hoping for more baseball-action this episode was disappointing but I really enjoyed the character interactions to be had.

Nice episode. A lot of development.

The last part with the forceful Koume was very enjoyable.

But those two boys... Akiko's seems to be really slow and a bit dumb but he tries at least, but the other one is even worse for getting all high and mighty but not understanding anything himself, neither.

Well, does he look like he needs to understand something either? :D

Well, the development was nice but the episode as a whole was a bit boring. Hopefully it's not a tendency and the next one will be more entertaining.

Anyways. Those two boys still don't really understand -_-

I found it quite forgettable. What issue was developed, that the girls are going to have to try hard in order to compete with boys. Or is it society's views on a woman's place because that wasn't really developed more than it already has been in the first 3 episodes.

I personally thought it was developed a lot more in this episode than the first 3. The first 3 seemed more of the introduction to the characters and creating the baseball team. This episode was much slower and focused a lot more on the feelings of Akiko about this issue while also having the boys realizing the negative affects of it. Episode 3 did develop into it a decent bit though but i thought this episode brought the issue in a lot more.

Some good scenes, some less interesting, but at least they develop the themes of the anime a bit more.

Cute episode with regrouping the team/team spirits. Like others have said the character development and overall plot themes are charming and refreshing in anime imo.

Oh, when they kept saying it was Asaka Junior High I assumed they were early teens, but 17 year olds? And aiming for nationals to boot, Oukakai is going to need to pull off some miraculous training to best them. I like how they're making it clear that they want to be recognized for their inexperience as players rather than being seen as inferior players due to being girls.

Those guys say some pretty douchey things but I suppose for them it's like a gorgeous girl saying that she wants to shave her head. I just hope Koume, Akiko and the gang can finally get through to them.

Koume must have a really strong grip to handle a protesting Shizuka singlehandedly as easily as she did, all while dictating what to say to Tomoe. She's just awesome :D

"I need you with me!"
*Kyouko's brain overheats* haha!

And the team rebuilds itself back up.

Toume x Kyouko best pair up.
Iwasaki man he just doesn't learn. The other dude was right, Iwasaki is dense, thinking girls can't play on the level of males.

I like the development on Akiko. Up to this point there wasn't much development on her and now she's broken through her shell and opened up to her friends.

But didn't Iwasaki already realize that he offended his fiance ? Pretty sure it was shown last episode,must be a dense guy then xD

Man,last segment with everyone crossing the line was great,loved the OST.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
