Diamond no Ace: Act II

The hallowed ground of Koshien Stadium is the "field of dreams," where the ambitions of high school baseball players come true. After emerging victorious in the autumn tournament last year, Seidou High School baseball's team has finally earned the right to compete there for the first time in seven years. Beyond the spring tournament looms the battle to decide who is the best team in the nation — the Summer Koshien.

With the third-year players due to retire after the summer tournament, the team has to integrate the experience of the seniors and the potential of the newcomers to overcome familiar and new opponents alike and win the coveted national title.

Meanwhile, pitcher Eijun Sawamura is as determined as ever to earn jersey No. 1 and seize the position of "ace" from his persistent rival, Satoru Furuya. As the team prepares for their greatest challenge yet, Sawamura and Furuya carry on their struggle to lead their team to glory and become the star of the game: the true "Ace of the Diamond."

Okay so……first of all I have watched many animes up till now, like 500+ and am experienced enough to give a proper good review!! Act II of daiya no ace is probably the best sports anime available right now. And I would like to SPECIFY that the anime version is still incomplete and they have announced that a new season of act II is in production and it’s absolutely freaking good!! Because sawamura becomes an absolute beast in act II unlike the previous seasons. The ending of anime seems a bit disappointing but that’s just character development……in the manga he’s a beast and goes on ... to perform extremely well. So yeah DONT BELIEVE those lil kids who give negative reviews like they r some critic or whatever and enjoy the show…….I am someone who has rewatched ACT 2 for like 20 TIMES now and it never gets boring. Again…..act II is all about the characters training and development to reach the same level as their previouS team was and hence it was long but worth it. You can also opt to read the manga after finishing anime it’s so good!!!!

I'm not those kind of people who stay and become a fan of an animr I'm just a watcher, i have never write any riview but it need to be said. the story is somehow become more balance on this season as expected because it appear exactly like the manga but I don't know why the anime in the season is just feels very unbalanced and not right at some point. to be honest this anime is very unique because it have different approach than others anime like how the story positioning the protagonist but I don't think this is going to work at some ... point I just could not enjoy it at all although this anime is really good overall but I have to be objective.

Easy, if you like a story where the autor loves to destroy the protagonist and each character one and every time like an endless loop, then you'll enjoy this series.

The whole story doesn't have a protagonist, the one who gets treated like a true one is a secondary character, the main character is constantly hated by the author.

I really don't understand how this show has such great score in MAL. The plot is pretty simple and cliche, the story goes in a loop of a constant hope-desilusion and enjoy-destroy it's plot and characters. You can enjoy a chapter and then the next one something totally ... random (more like plot armor rather than random) happens and the plot rewinds.

There's almost none character development, even if the characters becomes "stronger" in each chapter, the author like to ruin that development with a nonsense "situation" to wrap the plot armor and allow the show to have more misery and suffering.

Really, don't waste your time in this, even if you like baseball, go watch another sport anime instead of this garbage.
