| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ohh, so they are finally starting to play! Sorta. Not really. Can't wait till the "secret weapon" stops being secret. There's only so much watching people train that can keep you entertained (if that makes sense). |
| I really just can't believe that they ditched setting up Wakaba properly for this. I want to like this, but there really isn't a single thing interesting going on besides the club politics. |
| Well, at least something happened/action for the second half. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Yeah. I just want them to get to the practice match where Kou and the other two surprise everyone. We already know this season is a bust. They're not going to Koushien without Aoba, so let's skip the fluff. |
| I liked the episode, but then I'm a fan of Adachi's pacing, and this series seems to be emulating him pretty well so far. |

Nankanishi was genius with the chalk line marker!! Can't wait for a real game...Urahara Out!! |

Something like that you can figure out with just the direction of the show and the OP theme. |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| awesome! secret weapon eh? |
| PM me and let's be friends. |
| I really really enjoyed this. If gets bettet it might become one of my favorite anime series. |
| Finally.. I bet its next ep that they have the showdown between the first and second teams xD, that part is really my fav part of the series so far. This ep was pretty good.. nice pace and good development, even though its kinda slow.. :( |

What would the point of Wakaba's dream be if it isn't fulfilled with Aoba? |
| I'm waiting to see the three tryout no-shows to embarrass the main team. |
| Interesting. |
| This is getting more interesting. I can't wait for them to show their "secret weapon" to everyone. |
     |
| I really like this series, i just love the way it's presented for some reason. The characters and interactions between them have all been really interesting aswell. Also glad to see we are moving on to more of the baseball orientated stuff. |
| Good episode. Waiting for the next one~ ^_^ |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Good ep. They almost had their secret weapon revealed o.o |
 |
| nice to see where this series is going. wonder if the captain guy say ko pitch |
 |
| so they are buliding something like a rebellio? the prefab against the main one. cant wait for them to play. |
     |
| Oh ho, competition between teams in a school. |
 |
| Damn, every episode has been consistently good and people still complain. Also, this show, like Touch before it, isn't only about baseball. Just thought I'd mention that. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| I can't believe how good this show is ^_^ I liked this even more than Slam Dunk at this point... and Slam Dunk is my favorite sport anime... Cross Game may replace it if it keeps it up! XD |

| Slow pace... Guess they're just getting set up. Still enjoying it, but I'm sure I'll start actually "loving it" when it really gets rolling/moving along. :D It'll be neat when Ko's no longer just a "secret weapon"! |
| Not enough action? I'm actually liking the pace this anime is going at to be honest. Though that could be because I'm not a baseball fan at all and started this anime just for the romance aspect of it. xD |
 |
| Another great episode. Nice troll chalk liner by Nakanishi though I do wonder if Azuma saw the pitch. Can't wait for Kou and co. to kick first stringer ass :) |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| OHHHHH, THOSE SEMPAI GOT #REKT Secret weapon status : still secret That oji-san coach is so smooth, but it's funny how they are almost represented as the same in baseball anime, serie or whatever else. That vice-provisor look so evil, same with sunglasses coach. From the preview, ''she's the best throwable pitcher''. What a bunch of cunts. I hope the reservist teach them a lesson, those pretentious dumbass. |

| Not much really happened this episode except for a close call On the "secret weapon" getting revealed. So far this might be my Least Liked Episode (and believe me i kinda dislike stating this) |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Ah yes typical Japanese sports politics...yeah let's get to the practice game and shut them up already. |
 |
| Good episode, interesting they're keeping it secret. The animation and artstyle doesn't portray fast pitches and good batters well. |
 |
| Wait a minute......wait a minute. The made it to the end of the episode without talking or showing flashbacks involving the dead girl. Can't believe it. I must be dreaming. |
| Hmm, yes, three stomach aches on the same day, totally not conspicuous :) |
| i am really enjoying this anime so far. it's quite unique i'm also starting to enjoy the relationship between Kou and Aoba, mostly because Kou is such a kind and patient person though. Aoba is changing slowly too, though not by much pretty cool that Kou's inspiration is Aoba, usually in these type of sports anime it's just all about boys. but Aoba won't be able to play in high school team :/ that's unfortunate, i hope they bend the rules somehow |

| A team of elites and a team of rejects, interesting. |
 |
| NOW things getting started. though there's no a baseball match, this is still good. new characters, some baseball politics. the backgrounds art still annoying, though it doesn't ruin sport genre. |
| Scummy senpais were less of a pain in the ass to deal with than I thought, on the other hand we got the shady coach and interim principal. I kind of like Azuma for his attitude to only recognize skilled people and treat the rest the same even if they are on the same team. |
 |
| Finally they're in highschool. The plot will slowly start picking up from now... I think. Wait the baseball team is DIVIDED? I guess that's the most efficient thing to do for their goal but it still feels scummy. At least it'll make this arc more interesting. It's funny that Senda somehow got into the elite team just for his unearned reputation of being the best player in middle school. The vice principal's daughter seems bitchy but who knows we might get character development for her later. So far the chubby manager is nicer. Not much happened relating to Ko. I think other characters like Aoba are outshining him. Hope something happens soon. |
