Tenchio said: Best episode yet? Probably. I'm starting to really fall in love with this series. <3 And isn't the "Wakaba" only Aoba dressing up? I thought that was pretty obvious, but eh. One word - No. You'll see next episode. That character has been in the opening and now the new opening has ner even more. An the new ending has her. Don't people even watch the op/ed anymore? |

thalandor46 said: Even though people wouldn't shut up about it for the past few episodes, I still managed a "...WHAT!?" reaction to that ending XD Grrr they lost. Azuma's a senior, right? So first Aoba can't play in official games, and now we don't get anymore Azuma? I really liked those team aspects, but no, they just get tossed out the window. The demographic for this show boggles my mind. There's some pretty heavy matereal in there, but the pre-show and post-show segments make it seem like its geared towards little kids... Azuma's a second year, so no worries. We still have the golden bat to look forward too. It amazes me how much I can get into this show. It's the first sports anime I've watched, and I never thought they would fit my tastes before. I can't believe Seishu lost! Bah. But, I think it was a pretty realistic ending to the game. This was a great episode. |

great ep! Seishuu lost to Ryuouu .. Kou's hand was numb and was surprised that he didn't catch the ball! Aoba smiles to Kou at the bus after game ended .. 3rd yrs hugged Kou .. n Azuma was completely fine with Kou's play at the match! Mishima .. "Kitamura Kou, huh?" "Now there'll be no excuse for us losing. after defeating this pitcher .." n finally the Wakaba-like character appears! 5/5 ep! hope next ep don't rly become a recap >_<" n looking forward to more n more from this show~ ho---------ge---------~~~ Peace, peace!! xPP "Ore wa Kaizoku Ou ni narunda!!" -Luffy "If you don't risk your life, you can't make a future." -Luffy #1: "Who is this brute?" #2: "A monster!" -said about Luffy (by Bayan & Zap) "It was nothing.

I was sad when they lost the game, that were so close too! I had the same expression Kou had when he saw the Wakaba lookalike.  |

I loved how kou's voice was dumbstruck seeing wakaba, he took the words out of my mouth ^^ The only thing I can't figure out is what Mizuki's role is going to be and why he still hasn't left yet :P  |

Soo close...oh well. I think Kou did more than he should have to do. Cherek said: Well Mizuki did say he was going to stay for high school.The only thing I can't figure out is what Mizuki's role is going to be and why he still hasn't left yet :P |

It was a good game, with a somewhat lame ending. Aside from the match ending in an accidental kind of way - setting up Seishu's inevitable victory in the third year - I enjoyed it a lot; even with my limited baseball knowledge and lack of caring for the sport. I always knew they were going to lose due to the huge amount of time spent on the game, as well as Adachi liking to leave everything important until near the end/the last year of high school, but that didn't impact on my enjoyment levels too much. In terms of baseball, Cross Game continues to be very good. In terms of romance, it's been average at best, though - there having been little to none of it. Bringing a clone of the love interest (in this case, deceased love interest) of lead characters into the mix is done far too often for me not to roll my eyes over Wakaba's clone appearing out of nowhere. And if an AobaxAzuma relationship develops out of NOWHERE (suggested by the OP edits and new ED), just so that the romance drama matches up with the title, that will be pretty lame, considering there hasn't been anything whatsoever between them so far. I wish, instead of fannying around, Adachi would let the obvious main couples in his stories get together and have their relationships develop alongside the sporting side... ...oh, ja, and now Mizuki's character appears to be 100% filler. What's the point of him taking up time when he isn't a serious love rival and isn't involved in the baseball side at all? He's one of the most worthless characters known to mankind. |

I had a feeling they would lose since killing off such good rivals so early in the anime would be a bad move. Better luck next year.  |

Despite the fact that they lost, it was still a great game. :D The "Wakaba" at the end though... Yeah, seriously, what?! I was also stunned. Can see from what others have said, though, that it's not actually her... but still. Having a character appear that looks exactly like an already dead character... Isn't that a bit cliché? D: Though maybe it'll speed up the development of Aoba and Kou's relationship a bit... Is it just me or does the ED also hint at the possibility of Aoba and Azuma...? o_O Probably just me, huh... |

Is that Aoba dressed up!? Yes romance movement! Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is truth |
