| Oh no. Watch Touch. It's a great adaption of the manga. Cross Game takes both the formulas of Touch and H2 and gives them a more modern polish. But if you want to see the charm of the 80s and the one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in anime then proceed with Touch. |

| Ahhh... how did Touch fall under my radar? Can't wait to try it! I just don't have the time for such a long monster now, but if it's anywhere near as good as Cross Game, I'm going to cry. (of joy. Haven't seen anything above an 8/10 for a long, long time now.) |

| I'm watching Touch at this moment... Yes it's as twice the lenght of Cross Game but you won't get bored at all, that's a great show. |

Yes it's as twice the lenght of Cross Game but you won't get bored at all, that's a great show. Also, I like how no one's actually answering the OP's question. OP, though I haven't seen Touch, I definitely wouldn't watch another series of the same kind back to back if I were you, unless you're really in the mood for it. I always try to vary my adjacent watches (by genre, at least). Variety really adds the spice. |

I always try to vary my adjacent watches (by genre, at least). Variety really adds the spice. Well in my case I began to watch Touch directly after finishing Cross Game... But mostly because I really like sport anime mixed with drama/romance. I must say it looks alike in some aspects but it's not in a bad way. The author keep a lot of ideas from Touch when he created Cross Game, but it's still different enough to not have a bad feeling about it. |
| Thanks for all the answers, bookmarked it :) |
| I finished watching Touch three weeks ago, I think they aren't similar that much. First of all, the personalities of main characters are so different. Since I liked selfless Aoba very much, I thought I wouldn't have a hard time liking Minami(the heroine of Touch) but to put it simply, I hated her to death. I almost have dropped the anime because of her. The romance aspect in Touch isn't my cup of tea. I don't mind the old art style, the characters and flow of the show are more important for me. As usual the baseball games are fabulous but most of the episodes of Touch felt like fillers which made me a little impatient and mad. Consequently Imo Cross Game is way better than Touch for a lot of reasons. If you liked CG, even if they are from the same author I can not guarantee that you will also like Touch. |
| In terms of quality, H2 (manga) > Touch > Cross Game |
