I couldn't hold myself and finished reading the manga and I really want to see it animated.
Especially:
THIS IS A HUGE SPOILER, don't open this if you hadn't read till the end of the manga.

I hope Akane will get better. I really don't want to shed any more tears than I already did in the 1st ep and the flashbacks...

No Cross Game next weak :'(

You can't give me such a great episode and then tell me ro wait two week. Only the final remains, as far as baseball that is, I'm sure there is still plenty more in other areas.

No episode next week? Mother fucker, and I was so looking forward to it. It also sucks that the manga ended. I thought myself a long time ago that I'd continue with the manga after finishing the anime. Sucks so much. I love Cross Game.

Must resist with the spoiler since I have came this far >_<

Really good episode. I really have a bad feeling in this episode about Akane it seems like she is ready to take any blame with her, something like she might gone. And the game was pretty good or good enough to keep the hype for the next one. Ok, next episode seems to be a little serious with the all the main characters development can't wait to see that.

Did I miss something? What was so good about this episode? As it stands, I want Akane to die since she's been pretty useless since her introduction. I thought she was going to be the reason that Aoba got to play in Koushien, but that doesn't really look like the case. She's just an excuse to bring in the drama of a Wakaba/Aoba/Kou love triangle that can't exist. I feel like no one is coming out and saying what they should just because of her frail presence on the show.

Aoba's cousin (forgot his name and don't really care) is pretty damn annoying. The show would be just fine/do better without him.

That's why boys are better friends. They don't have evil, hidden intentions as often as girls do. ):

I second this.

... Ahem. I really liked this episode. :D It was kind of awesome to see that coach get served, bwahaha, since he was so arrogant and just thought everything would go according to whatever little plan he had.

Definitely can't wait to see Seishuu play Ryuou! That's going to be awesome. :) Truly hoping for a great game~

Indeed, I was also shocked when Senda started the game with a homerun! Guess the sun came up from the west that day?

I hope Akane doesn't die, that'd just be wrong! Why make everyone suffer through the death of Wakaba twice, wasn't once enough?

The most anticipated final must be epic ... :)
But what I am interested more is on main characters's final feelings ...

Aren't you worried about her?
If my worrying about her were to cure her illness, I'd gladly worry about her from morning to night, for as many days as it would take
Even if you had to give up the Koushien?
Yeah. Even if I don't go to the Koushien, I could still live a happy life. Like your brother
My brother's marriage depends on us going to the Koushien, remember?

I have a bad feeling about this. I HAVE A FUCKING BAD FEELING ABOUT ALL THIS BUT I CAN'T STOP NOW. FML

Seriously, I'm about to crap my pant. I want Koh to end with Aoba, but pls pls, don't die Akane. Not on the fucking final to add to the misfortune.

I didn't saw that 8-1 coming xD
Even more with the coach telling ''I have a bad feeling about this...'' :P

Akaishi was a boss in that game, two fucking homerun.

In the next episode, Aoba... confess?!?? Or at least, it look like she ask him if he likes her.

Oh no, going on a date seems like a potential death flag.

Aoba better get a move on if she wants to be with Kou. I don't want Akane to die too. ;-;

At least they kept the baseball atmosphere light with that ending.

Hearing those past scores, coach worrying the whole time and even Senda of all people scoring a homerun I really got anxious that something bad would happen (in this match at least), good thing the other team was just lucky in past matches and don't have some hidden tactics.

same, i was expecting something bad to happen lol xD

i hope akane doesn't die, i feel like that's a sort of cheap trick to make them relive wakaba's death. but it looks like progress will be made! aoba confesses next episode?

Both Ko and Azuma found four-leaf clovers this episode leading off from Aoba getting one last episode! That was so cool.

Senda got a homer? LOL that was funny.
This whole semi-final game was much better than whatever happened in the last episode. I almost thought Ko finally pitched a 160km/h.

Seishu is going to the finals lesss gooooo.
Akane's surgery will be on the day of the finals too :( I hope it's successful. Getting some heavy Your Lie in April vibes from the last episode which I absolutely loathe.

From the preview next episode could be one of the most important ones.
