Hmm... was hard for me to understand without subs, but it seems like a nice episode. I knew there was no way the girls team was a match for the boys team just yet.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

they knew they were going to lose but they probably didn't expect it to be so mismatched. this will be a good lesson for them. some crazy drama there too so its not too bad.

They've been out for 5 hours now; check tokyotosho.

Tama-chan is great; I love her.

Anna-sensei's seiyuu is fantastic. Love how expressive she is.

Greatly enjoyed this episode, even more than the first two I think. I was pleasantly surprised at how well their practice (basic practice before the match) went. The guy following around Koume is annoying, and Akiko's fiance is a douche. I hate it when guys don't realize what they've done wrong and apologize anyway.

While I agree about the fiance I have to disagree about the mailman/delivery guy, give him a chance he might grow on you.

Any way this was a great episode. I was kind of hoping they would make it into the second inning before being crushed. Kind of taking the guys by surprise kind of thing. Maybe next time.

I wonder if they plan on using this game to spread the word amoung other girls schools and get some other teams going.

This episode was kinda deflating, I don't know but I wanted them to do better. Akiko's in a bad mood about the events of this episode and so am I.

I hope he does. Can't hate a guy who truly cares for his girl. :)

Very good episode, less comedy than Episode 2 but a bit more drama. I found the guy who likes Koume to be a bit grating so I hope he calms down in later episodes. He's earnest but too much of a niusance. Tomoe was amusing to watch, with her 'killer' fastball, she's one of my favorites and I really like Shizuka's deadpan exasperation at her sister. Oh, and Anna-sensei is full of awesome.

I'm looking forward to the next episode but I hope it's not too gloomy for poor Akiko.

I like Akiko's fiance, to be honest. Maybe he's a bit narrow minded and opinionated, but I got the feeling that he's a nice guy actually. And it's obvious that he cares for Akiko much.
The other guy is really annoying though, with that I agree.

Overall, this ep was a bit weaker than the first two.

I thought the first episode was terribly slow. But since then it's been getting so much better. I'm starting to feel the atmosphere of this anime, I was smiling a lot watching this episode. I'm definitely getting into this. Looking forward to more.

Hahaha at Takahara. xD At first I was like, Ok, nice guy. Then when he came to the school... ^_^; (image shatters)
Ah well, maybe he will become better later on.

Akiko lost it :(

Great episode. Takahara is a creep. Iwasaki doesn't seem that bad though. He just needs to realize how what he's saying affects Akiko.

lol Tomoe's straight. Sorry, Kyouko.

Pretty good episode. Good thing they lost this time. It would have been not believable if they won their first game or had some miraculous comeback. I think it was done pretty well.

Seems next episode will decide how it's going on since they all started playing baseball because Akiko wanted revenge. Now that it didn't work she seems to have lost her interest and endangers the team (typical plot). But I bet they will continue to play anyway. But this time with pure feelings for the game (at least Akiko).

It was a very realistic and interesting episode. I like the development of the story and characters for now, I hope the rest will keep up with that.

Akiko's fiancee may appear like a jerk now, but considering this takes place around 1925 the mentality and standards between the relationships and status of men and woman was just about normal for that time. If anything would be odd it would be the girls interests in baseball. But than again, that is why i like this anime so much.

The realistic approach was refreshing but I have a feeling it will become a bit more cliched by the end of the series. However that's alright since the characters are becoming more enjoyable... except for the stalker guy... not sure WTF is up with him. <.<

Just watched ep's 2 and 3, I thought the first episode was awful but these past 2 were good. I'm actually quite interested in how the shows going to play out now. I'm surprised the team got together so fast and have already played a game. What was also good was that they actually showed the game in detail. They didn't just skip through it a ton.

Characters have grabbed my interest too, seems to be some drama arising already. I wasn't expecting romance in this show either. As well as Akiko playing baseball because of a guy. Show has started to grow on me :)

The fiance was only acting like he was supposed to act. From our perspective he was an ass from 1925 Japan he was not that out of line. (When the Philadelphia Bobbies, a professional women's team, went to Japan to play male teams in 1925 two of the girls who entertained them at their hotel had been sold by their father to pay for his son's education.) The fact that he was still talking to her, trying to call her etc, is fairly impressive. Showing that while he opposes it he's not ready to do anything drastic about it. Actually she seems more prickly about the issue than he does.

Lol, lots of people bashing Akiko's fiance. Yeah, he may be a sexist, but like everyone else said, back in those days, his words weren't very sexist. After all, if he wasn't a sexist, there would be no show, right? The whole point of the show is that Akiko wanted to prove she can do things that guys can do too.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

That's true, and keep it mind that this is set WAY back in the day where all guys are douches (douchei?) However, note how he does try to resolve things and accept the truth!

But i love this episode, the mailman is soooooo funny! Finally, an anime where the guy falls in love first! (I don't see much)

here here, its good to learn about how things were so we can help change how things will be.

Looks like Koume has a new secret admirer .. and im not taking about Takahara :D all around good episode and that the girls made big strides from being officially recognized and building a practice field to actually participating in a game sure they lost but in the process learned a lot more than they could if they had won.

They slowly improved but suffered a crushing a defeat. That's to be expected though, all things considered. Poor Kyouko. Glad that guy was at least honorable enough to take back the dating condition, although it would've been amusing to see Tamaki get chosen.

Well that ended badly for them but to receive compliments as well is a good start. It wasn't until Iwasaki started playing that the game turned so one sided.

That guy going after Koume seems rather interesting.
