I agree with how there wasn't really anything to conclude the season and was just a regular ending to an episode.
Either way, I did enjoy watching this series a lot.

Such a great episode. Invoked the feels from the beginning, and continued it with one of Oofuri's strengths -- glorious and wiggly character interaction.

Had some complaints with episode 24's dub (the minor characters.........) but 25 went from strength to strength. Mihashi was especially good -- which is saying something; his character type is difficult to connect to and act for an English-speaking audience, but his VA nailed it in the second half of the series (as this character-heavy episode shows).

So: no regrets. There are some seriously shaky moments, and the Americanized pattern of speaking loses some of the nuances of the culture surrounding Japanese HS Baseball, but it adds its own spirit and was still a whole lot of fun to watch.

GG, OOFURI. Eminently rewatchable. 9/10 → 10/10

I found this so late so I already know about the second season and special ep. Ahhh, it was a great ride. I put it off so many times but I'm so glad I finally picked it up because I wanted a change of pace.

Didn't expect this show to revolve around one single fucking match. Not that it was bad, but this leaves so much of the tournament. Nothing that a 13-eps second season can bring closure to i think.

Still, the overcringy MC was funny in the beginning, but got very annoying as the show advanced.

Yeah, annoying MC ruined this anime for me. He reminds me a bit of that guy from Haikyuu, which I also hate.

very moving episode where everyone told their true feelings, also seeing Ren-Ren sleeping with the ball was extremely cute ^^

crying. (not actually but lets just say that i am because i emotionally am)

i say this literally every episode but god i love them so much. outside of my attachment towards the characters this was such a good show. like actually. the music work was just decent and the animation wasn't great but still good enough. story was nice and they carried it out really well, every character had a role and honestly didnt feel like a filler of an empty useless spot. even the manager, who's usually just for "omg our manager's hot" jokes and bringing onigiri was useful here sacrificing sleep and her time to watched tousei's tournament videos, analyze it and made a summary book. coach was a badass, and club teacher was smart on helping them have a calm down technique. none of the rivals were cocky assholes who the producers want us to hate, they were just a rival team. i even cheered for them as well because they were nice rivals.

such a good show, dont think i can ever forget this. i feel like this deserves a 10 but im putting it as a 9 because i might be caught up in the "just finished a show" moment where im just really excited about it and can only see the positives on it, those are way up too

Woo, loved the ending for the season 1, it ended with a win which is really satisfying. The best part here is I love how Mihashi and Abe interacts with each other, really funny to watch them both getting confused with each other. Overall a really great first season, really fun and worth it to watch.
